Yesterday I caught an interesting ad for the Lok Satta Party on some Telugu channel. It depicts a family obviously in poverty. Their hands are in cuffs.\u00a0\u00a0Two extended hands appear, one of them offering rice and the other offering some other food which I did not catch. The family shakes their heads, refusing. Then Jayaprakash Narayan, head of the party shows up, and he too extends his hand, only it is revealed that he has keys in his hands.\u00a0Nice, crisp and effective message.<\/p>\n
Lok Satta has been running quite a serious campaign here in Hyderabad. Any idea where\u00a0they are\u00a0getting\u00a0 funding from?\u00a0Perhaps their \u00a0web site<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0answers the question, but a quick glance reveals this<\/a>, which does not tell me much about the composition of their sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday I caught an interesting ad for the Lok Satta Party on some Telugu channel.
