Election Tricks in Tamilnad

ALL MANNER of tricks are being played in Tamilnad. The latest is the decision of the Tamilnad Congress Committee to abolish the land tax and to recoup the losses from monopoly state trading in food- grains. Quite a crude election manoeuvre, despite T T K's claim that the TNCC was only doing away with a tax that was both inequitous and wasteful. Why this wisdom dawned only a few months before the General Elections is not made clear.
