Employment in Tamil Nadu - join a crowd and earn upto Rs 1200

Tamil Nadu is setting a new trend in employment - it is now election time right now and, in order to get huge crowds at their rallies, political parties are outsourcing the jobs. There are event managers and they pay Rs 200 to Rs 1200 to students to join the rallies in and outside Chennai. It is a sort of summer-job for them.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 18 April 2016.

All the major parties have set targets for district secretaries - they are supposed to bring in the crowds (up to 20,000 people each) and locals are wooed with cash and food packets and transported in buses and vans to the venue. Till now, it was the leaders who used to directly herd the crowds to venues - it is now outsourced.
This is the new trend, a new business pattern. There are professional looking brochures with specific rates like Rs 600 each for men, Rs 800 for women and Rs 1,200 for students to attend the rally -the rates vary depending on demand and supply. They supply up to 10,000 people in Chennai, 5,000 outside Chennai - it is a fully paid and hired crowd.
