Is ‘Jaago Re’ only robbing you of that blissful hour of patriotic slumber? A new campaign simply asks you not to vote. Or vote at your peril.
Is ‘Jaago Re’ only robbing you of that blissful hour of patriotic slumber? Is the Lead India campaign just a delusional fantasy of making leaders out of the common man? A new campaign sets the score right. Bleedindia.com simply asks you not to vote. Or vote at your peril. Its objective seems to be to acknowledge the genius of the evil politician. Meet Pappu Raj, the archetypal Indian leader, with the catchphrase Jaisa Naam, Waisa Kaam. Check out his achievements —whether in the form of a demagogue who incites communal hatred or the parasite who milks your blood dry. Bleedindia also recognises the efforts of corporate scamsters. There is even a Ramalingam Raju award for corporate governance. Whether you decide to vote or not, this is one of the spunkiest campaigns to hit the net.
