AIADMK LEGISLATORS IMPRISONED Whenever no confidence vote is called for, it is usual to huddle the legislators into the comforts of 5 star hotels. Why the legislators are more than willing to be deprived of their freedom momentarily with no communication with the outside world including their families; The reasons are pretty obvious, Those that will settle without ministerial berths will be rewarded with stacks of money. Others will be assured of chairmanship of some corporation and promised re election to assembly for their display of loyalty under trying circumstances., Besides everyone has wonderful time everything found free of costs. The resort in Tamil Nadu had only one outlet. Even then one made the desperate exit in disguise to inform the world at large that they were drugged into silence, If they swear their allegiance to any factions, then these experienced, knowledgeable individuals need not be confined to in accessible places. They are subject to better allurement, poaching, intimidation and hence ensconced in isolated hotels. They are normally taken straight to vote. It was argued that there were tugs keeping a strict vigil on their activities .The families have not complained against their confinement and the H.C on orders assured directly about any forceful detention. This is an opportunity to what may be termed as unofficial horse trading of another kind Besides monetary benefits the legislators want to ensure completion of their term in office, rather than be subjected to another uncertain election results It is understood that they maintain complete silence with the outside world including their loved ones in this age of electronic communications All these circumstances compel them to be together to further their common interest and are richly rewarded for their sacrifice
