Remember Kalavathi. No, no one remembers. Can't blame you.
Well she's a farmers wife(/widow?) from Maharasthra who became famous when last summer Rahul Gandhi used her as an example in Parliament of how UPA govt will give funds for her kids education, free electricity, loan waivers etc etc etc.. the proverbial populist '<i>chicken in every pot</i>' argument.
That was a year ago. And she's in news lately since nothing that Rahul's told her a year ago has materialized. Another long string of empty promises.
But some of Congress fans assures us that such policies take time. <!--emo&:beer--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cheers.gif' /><!--endemo-->
