Recently, there has been quite an uproar abt politicians trying to show austerity by travelling in economy class (and "tweeting" abt it) or in 3rd AC (and making a news when some kid throws a stone at the train) etc... well, they r prob trying to show their solidarity with the "aam admi" who is forced to live such a life.. well, to say the least, i dont think that austerity is a virtue in the eyes of the poor, they are forced to lead such a life ... it might be in the eyes of the rich, who hv got all the luxuries in the world and would lead the life of an austere for some time (remember, its not forced upon them) and finally revert to their original lifestyle ... but the same cannot be said abt the poors or the aam admi who has no other option ...
and then, who doesn't know abt the luxuries that politicians enjoy.. i m not saying there is nething wrong in that; when SRK can charge Rs. 7 crore for a 3 day add shoot, aren't our politicians eligible for allowances that they enjoy for running such a big and vast country ... so, in my opinion, its better if media, instead of giving importance to their austerity drive, concentrates on their performance ...
