The Cost Of Resort Politics: Who Pays?
With the ongoing political crisis in Maharashtra, the focus is back on resort politics. A predictable charade of political parties moving their MLAs to resorts and hotels has begun. A dissident group of Shiv Sena MLAs led by Eknath Shinde is in five-star Radisson Blu Hotel in Guwahti - an all-expense paid stay. This even as common people in the flood-affected parts of the state can't access clean drinking water. Over 125 people have died in the Assam so far. People can't cremate or bury the dead in Silchar as all crematoriums are flooded.
