Uneducated and ignorant people

Sorry to say but the people of Tamil nadu are highly ignorant about politics, since independence they have only elected film stars for CM post because they don't know anything about politics. They should have been atleast 8 generations ahead of north India because Islamic invasion never happened their but their lack of awareness resulted in poor leadership which led to poor health, education, hygiene even after having no marks of loot.

Recruitment is a common issue on which RTI applications are being filed. A transparent process ensures that there is nothing left to allege muddiness in the selection.
