The caller, the high political authority, asked the politico how the response of the people would be if he came forward to contest the upcoming big poll.  “Would it be as good as it was on the

The Diyawanna politico in response to this query had made a lengthy analysis of the current political situation.  After listening to this analytical comment that took over one hour, the high authority had again asked him: “If I were to contest, how many votes would I be able to muster?”
