does purogamanam mean releasing (political) prisoners .. and what is meant by "eligible prisoners" i thought, prisoners who have undergone greater than a fixed proportion of the jail shiksha are chosen randomly by a draw of votes (so, eligibility has a random component to it).. and i dont think the number of prisoners released should be considered as a score for any government..
