Random Thoughts And Opinions

Well you may say that it has nothing to do with the issues here but it is somewhat related. Advani, the leading man of the opposition party in India has opened his website with a blog of his own. I have visited it just once. 

Now the question is will the increase of access of Internet to politics  really benefit the citizens anyway or will it just remain another publicity stunt? I would like to see how Mr. Advani reacts to harsh comments from Congress or rival party followers. I personally think it will give the citizens who are Internet educated a chance to question the motives and actions of the leading politicians much more now. Though I don’t like the fact that one need to log in to comment there as that reduces the chance to interact as an anonymous member of the democracy.

Will you visit your leaders blog often? I just hope more and more politicians take up blogging as their part time and get down to answer some serious questions before elections. I will surely visit the sites of these men and if not comment atleast read on the latest developments and public reactions to them. How often do we get the chance to see our politicians replying to the commoners question after all except before the elections. Also many youngsters who are just entering into their voting phase or knows little about whats going on in the National Politics given these websites on’t turn into advertisements or election banners.
