So, the general elections have been announced. There used to be a time when we were not bothered about voting and meekly accepted whosoever, from whichever party, was elected as our representative.
No more. Our ignorance and indifference should not result in our silently suffering for the next five years.
So please make it a point to VOTE. Our votes make a difference.
I do not belong to any political party but seeing the deep rooted corruption all around, I am convinced that we need a strong PM to lead the country and cleanse the system.
In my opinion, Narendra MODI of BJP can give us the much needed focus and development.
In our Blue mountains, the biggest problem, affecting all of us is DRINKING. Even the school going children have taken to this evil due to its free easy availability.
In Gujarat, Modi, has successfully implemented prohibition and has done away with another big drawback – ‘FREE BIE’ culture.
Let us ensure that NM is our next PM !

It is a matter of shame that NILGIRIS & DRINKING HAVE become integral parts. I have been seeing and hearing for the past four decades, the number of families ruined in our hattis because of this evil habit. There are untold stories of miseries, tears, humiliations,sufferings because of this dreadful drinking habit. The list of educated people who have lost their dignity and self esteem, is endless.
Being a Govt. servant and a lady, I have my own limitations. Still tried my best to create awareness, but miserably failed in the circle of my own relatives.
Changes are inevitable. If a positive change comes, our people are blessed. I donot belong to any political party either.Let us hope and elect a deserving candidate who would bring revolution. No night is so long that cannot find the day. Hope that good day would come for Nilgiris.

<> beautifully said , Rajma ma’am.
As Wg Cdr JP says, Drinking is the bane of our society , we need to stop this evil to see progress of our community. It is heartening to see a few “Dry marriages ( alcohol free) ” amidst the Badaga youngsters , hope this becomes a regular feature and spreads in our villages.

At Present our Country needs a Courageous Prime Minister to take BOLD decisions, on his own in various Issues. Particularly in International issues, our Economy issue, Employment issue and many more, I am also not a Political Party Member. As Mr JP said I also support Mr Modi for the Prime Minister Post. There is no other light is seen except Modi, for the revival of our Country.
