Too smart by half!!

Karunanidhi thought he had a winner when he gave away free TV's as it created a monopoly for SUN TV's cable and Directv business. What he forgot was that power consumption doubled as people started watching more TV (add the lights and fan in some cases AC too!!) and by the time the next election came there was huge power shortfalls across the state!!

Added to this the free food and money being given away resulted in people becoming too lazy to vote for him when the time came around!!

So it would do good for the future politicians to note that freebies dont work.
