We have all said this, 'politicians make a lot of promises before the elections and then forget about it once elected'. Well that may not be the case with Dr TM Thomas Isaac, a CPI(M) candidate from Kerala.

With one more day to go for the election result to be announced Mr Isaac is already started working towards fulfilling his first election promise, to plant as much tree saplings as the majority he gets in the election.

Isaac who is widely expected to win the election from Alapuzha, by his own admission expects to plant around 15,000 trees.

If that isn't enough Isaac, a former economist turned politician has another remarkable idea to care for nature. He has urged his supporters to collect back all the flex posters used for campaign, which would otherwise lay waste, littering the place.

Isaac, a former finance minister of Kerala has been for decades a campaigner for organic farming.

Since 2002, Isaac has led what many call as an 'organic farming revolution' in the state getting farmers to take the organic path and ensure the supply of fresh, chemical-free vegetable readily available in the market, for a state which largely depended on supplies from other states to meet its daily needs.
