Spitting and then Licking it ....

It seems Indian politics will never cease to amaze me. Few prejudices that I had earlier solidified into facts as I followed few events lately. One of them being the infamous Varun Gandhi's speech and the events that followed it. One point that everyone can drive home is that political parties has no imaan-dharam or whatsoever. How easy it is for them to eat their own words and to take U-turns on their own stands. If we take the case of Varun Gandhi, we all saw the BJP cutting itself from the whole issue and even Mr. Advani ( I dont prefer to call him "ji") personally condemed Varun's speech. But when the party saw him the issue being doing it in their favour in that particular consttuency and to appease the right wing fellow it didn't mind to back him with full support. Now that that Mayawati govt. has decided to impose NSA on Varun , this gave BJP the much needed fuel. The same ppl who initially thought he has brought shame to the party are now going and meeting in the Jail. Yes, m talking abt party president Mr. Rajnath Singh. By the way I dont take his words seriously ( does he?) coz half of the times he hisself doesnt even knw wat he is talking abt. How can we trust on a party for 5 years  if it cant  keep its words for 5 days? I am not a pro Congress but I definetly have a problem with a party that des it politics openly o the basis caste, creed and religion. Its like taking the country on the backward path. 

But this is the apathy of this country. Governance, development and Agriculture has been the election issues. Coz for political parties like these, these governance is not the motto but its the "power" they want to achieve, by hook or by crook. It like if you the right recipe for getting the votes u win. A bit of caste, a bit of religion and a bit of crime, and you get all the votes. I was discussing this issue with one of my good frnd and I asked the same question to him that why Indian politicians doesnt shy away from doing caste and religion based politics. And he told me that it works because its directly related to the sentiments of people. And I realised that yes in this country people take their religion and case very seriously. If you want to sensitize them then case and religion is the best tool u can use. So its not surprising for me to c the BJP coming out with Ram Temple as one of the main point in their Manifesto. So what if farmers are committing suicides in vidarbha, so what if half of the country is affected by insidious activities of Naxalites, so what if 1/3 of the population is not able to earn even Rs. 50/day , cmmon these are not the issues one should think about. I knw people are too sentimental abt their religion but does this mean it should overshadow the real issues?  Neways we will see many colors of politicians in these coming days ...njoy the dance ( or Tandav?) of democracy
