Trust vote: Villagers wonder what's the deal

Dadri: While political parties battle it out in Parliament to decide whether the Government stays or goes, in rural Uttar Pradesh life goes on as usual. The numbers game, trust vote, 123 agreement — the villagers wonder what the big deal is all about.

“I am illiterate. I don’t understand all this,” one of the villagers says. But what the villagers do understand is that they need a stable government.

So at a time when every one's being painted black over the nuclear deal, all that the villagers ask for is a fair deal for themselves.

“All these bribes that we hear about are being paid with the money we pay as tax,” another villager said.

They say they don’t care who forms the government as long as the prices are kept low.

“If we were in the Government, we could have at least done some thing for ourselves,” another villager says.

But back in Delhi, with a battle of nuclear proportions raging at the Lok Sabha, is anyone listening?
