KANPUR: A very large board on Purani Chungi turn of the road leading towards Jajmau displays a message Happy New Year 2020. Greetings much in advance say the road users adding that the year's last month has yet not on the verge of completion. Then what is hurry in displaying the message? Question a good many passers-by.
The road remains busy from morning till late at night and every eye falls on the big, bold letters of the usual coming fresh year's greeting.
Those who converge on the wide crossing fail to check themselves commenting on putting the hoarding too early on the spot. The prudent people wisely assert that it is politics. A politician never initiates anything without a purpose. As the big board has been put up by a known politician he would have visualized some ideas behind it.
Being the main road going towards Lucknow the leaders of the political parties pass through the spacious road almost every day. A lot of beholders maintained that place was perfect to draw the attention of everyone. None can avoid one's sight from the displayed message. So, how could the leaders not read?
They also expanded if the park on the crossroad was blooming with greenery and the seasonal flowers the glimpse would have been far better.
