What? Politicans blogging? (especailly Indian Politicians?) What is happening? Those who wake up from their deep sleep only before the elections? I think they have started a publicity Campaign , Maybe?
And I hate this part. They Are Spending Money on advertisements. Yes, they want to gain votes via a new source, internet! What is this Man. We pay taxes for the Good of the country and not for people to advertise their blog. Oh God Someone please save the internet or else it will also soon be infected by the Indian Politics Bug.
I wish if i was a politician. I would get to advertise my blog for free.
And you know what excuse he gives for starting a blog? Here’s a excerpt from his blog –
Welcome, friends, to my blog. My young colleagues who have created this website told me that a political portal without a blog is like a letter without a signature. I quickly accepted this compelling logic.
I am excited by the idea of using the Internet as a platform for political communication and, especially, for election campaign. As someone who has had the good fortune of participating, either as a campaigner or as a candidate, in every single general election in India since the first one held in 1952, I have seen how the tools of communication have evolved. As far communication is concerned, I am technology-agnostic. My philosophy in this matter is simple: anything that works, deserves to be welcomed. In my own political life spanning six decades, I have enthusiastically embraced every new communication technology – from the early simple Casio digital diary to i-pod and i-phone.”
