Chiru promises free power to ryots

Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi on Friday promised 24-hour free power supply to farmers, at least in backward districts, if his party comes to power.

Gee that's next to impossible, if you go by the prevailing power scenario in the state. Suppose his party is voted to power, what is he going to do? Just like any other political party go back on his promise. Instead why not assure them that Power will be supplied for free or given at some subsidy for 12-15 hours with proper wattage. Am sure most of the farmers would be happy to pay for their electricity than for getting their burnt motors (happens a lot due to fluctuation in the voltage supplied) repaired. Being a new political outfit and having some sensible people around in the party, thought at least these guys won't resort to these kind of cheap populist schemes. Which ultimately either help in development of the backward districts or empower people over there.

He should keep a tab of all the outrageous promises he's making.Instead of free, i'm sure they'd prefer decent supply.How serious is he about this whole political thing?

Well, what do you mean by "serious"? The answer to that question really depends on what your answer to this question will be.
