Political strategists ineffective
An inferior or defective product cannot be sold and any amount of strategy or marketing skills cannot help.
An inferior or defective product cannot be sold and any amount of strategy or marketing skills cannot help.
Similarly victory of a political party depends on the satisfaction levels of people and no political strategist can improve the winning chances of a party (Mamata pitches in poll wizard Prashant Kishor, June 7 ).
By engaging the services of strategists to win the elections, leaders clearly admit that they have no idea of people's issues, requirements and aspirations.
Such a situation is a shame on the part of politicians and a dent on democracy. It is better to switch over to a system of political consultants in place of legislatures so that lot of money, time and energy can be saved.
