In strictest sense, perhaps yes. But each time you raise the
cry of a re-org, you divert the energies of a lot of people
to the re-org issue. Consider India having elections after
every six months. What will be the consequence. A still adm
inistration. That is what a frequently conducted re-org cam-
paign leads to. Six months back, the proponents raked up the
issue. Considerable amount of abuse was exchanged. Then the
proponents went into hibernation. Probably for tactical reasons.
And now again the same issue. What do we get out of it.
Noise. Nothing else.

: pucca political speech! the simple and straightforward truth is that
: you dont want to face a vote.
By using the term "political" in the above sense, there is
some implicit abuse involved here. Yes, frankly, I do not
like the idea of a vote on every weekend. That is a very
good reason. Don't you think so.
