Election Tricks in Tamilnad

October 22, 1966 But the low key in which foreign policy is being conducted today is not expected to offer any scope for leadership in the conference by Indira Gandhi. This is very much 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.
