Voters demand better booze

SNV Sudhir/Visakhapatnam

Petty politicians of the jaggery town of Anakapalle are in dilemma as the Generation X voters of the place are not ready to sell their valuable vote to the arrack and cheap liquor. This was the situation, which they never expected would arise. Now these politicians got good kick without raising a toast. This is the state of all the political parties. They are not able to find the reason behind the realization of voters. Usually liquor flows during the D-day. “Its our turn now why should we lose our chance. All the time we consume the cheap stuff.. At least let us have a costly one at their cost, as we cannot afford at normal times. Pandagaputa kuda pacchadi annamena” says Thathalu, a farmer. It is learnt that these politicians had purchased the stocks of cheap liquor worth Rs 25,000 per ward for the 34 wards of Anakapalli, without having any idea of what the voters are waiting for .Now they are confused as what to do with the huge stocks. The condition of the small time politicians is even worst as they were entangled between the top brass politicians and the common voter. They can neither convince the top brass politicians nor the common voter. “They are asking for one full bottle of Royal Stag whisky or Mansion House brandy or McDowell whisky per tow persons which is a very costly affair. I’m confused what to do now. I never faced this sort of situation in my 15 years of political life. Even though if we provide the costly liquor we are not sure whether they cast vote to our party or not, Who knows it after they go in” said a petty politician anonymously. “We are not able to convince our party apex people nor the commoner” said another person. “Politicians remembers us only at the time of elections. But this time let them remember us till the next elections as it will be a shock for them.” Ramayya a daily labourer said. Sources said it was liquor syndicate which egged on the voters to demand for IMFL.
