Who do they stand for, anyway???

I read this article today, and wondered what our elected representatives really stand for????

Which exactly was the section of voters these two were trying to represent? Not me, for sure. They held up the flight for four hours inconveniencing other passengers, who had been offered an alternative, but thanks to these two “representatives of the people” were grounded…literally.

I am embarrassed to say i belong to the state they represent (for sure they do not represent my ideals!), and still can’t get over the statement by one of the MP’s- “Our intention was not to cause any inconvenience to the passengers, We wanted to highlight the hardship being suffered by Kerala-bound passengers for quite some time.”

Yeah..right! By refusing to de plane an aircraft with a technical snag, by holding up the departure of an alternate flight for four hours, for inconveniencing the 144 people who has the practical wisdom to move to another plane.

Way to go Mr. MP’s…you have earned your sound bytes, the national media attention you wanted… ….Who cares if this is at the expense of voters who elected you to an MP?

…and by the way, I am still clueless who you were representing? Maybe just yourself???
