Jayalalitha Achievements- Promoting and Validating Dowry


Dear all

A Full page ad in Times of India glared us today , larger than life Jayalalitha‘s Portrait and telling us her one year of achievements.

1. Rice at no cost

2. 4 grams of Gold for Thirumangalayam and Fianncial Assistance for women of marriageable age.  

WHAT ???

This adds legitimacy to Dowry, which is illegal and falls within , r Article 4-A- of the Dowry Prohibition Act , 1961

4-A. BAN ON ADVERTISEMENT-If any person,-

    First of all Tamilnadu has to think properly before they vote, Five years of a person ruling is not a joke. Chief ministers like Jayalalitha rules with revenge and she says few things convincing women and we guys vote for her. Most of the plans are bull shit. I am not into politics at all. In face I am from USA. born and raised in chennai for 19 years. karunanithi’s plan is far better than this lady. Those elegant bridges and bus service is almost equivalent to developed countries infrastructures.

    Why does her head look weird? a photoshop misadventure? Or has her biological system lost count of her chins(double,triple,quadruple….ad infinitum) and conveniently decided to merge them with her neck?
