POLITICS OF DROUGHT

Everyone likes a good drought. More so the politicians. This has been proven once more correct. Bundelkhand is getting scorched. Ponds and rivers have dried up. People's tears have also dried up. For their is no one to care.
Akhilesh government has suddenly woken up after four years of coma and has started distributing largesse. 2017 is near, and so is the time of reckoning. Fear of hustings has made the Samajwadi Party to loosen it's purse.
Modi government is not far behind in laxity. It has been made aware of its responsibility after a vitriolic reminder by the Supreme Court. After a lashing by the court the central government had released part of the due fund on account of MANREGA. The state of Uttar Pradesh is still to get its full payment on this front. So much so for concern of farmers.
Modi government is holding rallies. It is spouting concern for the downtrodden. But it's laxity towards the farmers is criminal. Will holding Kisan rallies bring relief to farmers, or will it bring votes for the Modi government ?.
Can Modi government fool all the farmers all the time. Time will tell.
