Cheap Political Tricks

Yesterday, I witnessed the depths to which these political parties will stoop to attain political mileage. At around 1300 hours, I was stuck in a major traffic jam in Malleswaram. I inched forward only to hit upon a boisterous mob that was the cause of the traffic jam. They were escorted by the cops. I don't know who granted the permission for BJP to throw life out of gear for us. That's all right, I can live with that. What shocked me was the way the BJP-hired mob was playing drums and dancing! It was unequivocal proof that BJP has been waiting for something like this (Ayodhya incident) to happen; so that it can make the most of it. These guys are shameless I tell you. I have my doubts about the so called 'terrorists'. I think it is a major conspiracy. How else do you explain a bunch of young men dancing, and holding up the traffic? These guys were celebrating the bomb attack on Ayodhya and they are the sentinel that is going to guard Hindus? Give me a break. Now, one can argue that the frontline volunteer may not be educated so may not realize the effects of their actions. True, what about the leaders? Shouldn't they warn or guide their party members?

The second thing that shocked me: The BJP mob was bursting crackers in a silent zone, a place which hosts a hospital. And if you want to place the country in the hands of such irresponsible people, think twice. No, I am not a Congress fan. I don't trust any of them. I don't vote man. If someone says 'You have to vote yada yada' All I have to say is I have the right not to vote. Let's leave it at that.

By the way, the UP police are still struggling to establish the identities of the terrorists that attacked the temple. Sigh! Why am I not surprised?
