Crying wolf!

It's all to disgrace the ruling party?

There was a breakdown in power due to trippping resulting in several parts of the city going black Tuesday night. Immediately there was a cry from the ruling party visual medias that it was a sabotage to defile the ruling Government. Every move, every happening is being turned in favour of the parties concerned. For a deamnd of 10,000 mw only 8,000 and odd megawatts are produced. Under the circumstances, it might be due to real tripping. However, four persons have been taken into custody - scape goats or paid pipers?
If something happens somewhere the parties both the ruling and the opposition turn the event as it had happen to harm their parties. In the similar fashion 'Gnabhagam varudhae, gnabhavam varudhe . . .' song is being used to suit their convenience by both the Dravidian parties. Good political tamasha. People enjoy the same, churn it into their mind and turn one a ruler and other a bowler. Here, it signifies the batsman is the ruler and the man at the other end (who bowls) is opposed to him.
In cricket if all the wickets are downed the other side will bat. The innings is hardly a day in one-dayers and two at the most in Tests. Whereas in politics, all out is decalred once in five years. If something goes wrong in the middle 'foul' - dismissal followed by Umpire, here the President will rule. As much as possible comparison is brought between cricket and politics so that both can relish.
