When I further tell you that this ââ¬Ëflash mobââ¬â¢ was drawn from the women wing of a regional political party upon orders from their megalomaniac leader and chief minister of the day, J Jayalalithaa, evidently to subject a male political opponent to some ritual humiliation with an extravagant display of ââ¬Ëyoni powerââ¬â¢, you will also understand why I am considerably underwhelmed by the promised prospect of having more women in electoral politics.
