The first traffic blockade

So, the leader of the opposition wants to visit the vicinity. And an entire 10 KM stretch of road, prime National Highway by the way, is shutdown for close to 90mins.

Well, it sucks.

I am sure every person whose right to freely move around was encroached upon by the politician will not vote for him in the next election. These people would easily outnumber the few thousand "supporters" that were hauled from the interiors to make up the audience, so I am not sure how the number game works here.

Note to self: take a chopper for every visit. For a few bucks more a lot of people's ire can be escaped.
