National - Elections 2004   

Feel good shoes

The feel good factor of the BJP-led NDA Government appears to have percolated very deep, and a footwear seller in Anantapur seems to be among those who have taken a cue from it to boost his business. The seller has recently introduced a feel good range of shoes and chappals. The shop sports a large banner displaying the price range of the feel good range of footwear and it has succeeded in drawing attention of passers-by. Asked why the shop has introduced the range and how the idea has struck it, a sales boy said: "The feel good factor is read, seen and heard all over nowadays and we thought we should cash in on it."
