Silence on issues affecting common man deafening

It is very strange that the power minister says the new recruitments will not increase the tariff of electricity. Manpower costs have been rising and the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission (JERC) will balance the same with income which means tariffs will have to increase.

Why is AAP silent on this statement from the power minister? Apparently, AAP is not aware and needs to consult their head office? Can they do this at every instant? No, they must address the problems locally hence need knowledgeable leaders or a core team of professionals in each field. This means they must consult locals on every issue if they do not solve this internal problem. Why is Digambar Kamat, a former power minister silent? Hope Chidambaram pulls him up and sees the ‘quality’ of all the ‘silent’ existing MLAs and those just welcomed into the Congress. 

It seems that the current lot will work only if they are in the ruling government; otherwise, they will maintain the current deafening silence. Note, such silence today, when elections are imminent!  Watch your future candidates and question them. None appear to do anything but shirk responsibility.
