Was just wondering over the recent hullabo in Indian politics. I have never found it more exciting(I actually find this situation exciting) in my lifetime. Politicians' scams( they have always been doing scams, this time the scams are getting grave attention and publicity), their panic, & last but for me the most interesting stuff, their statements. They seem to get caught in the web of their own 'maybe right' but 'perhaps wrongly timed' words. And then the media thrashes them for using such language. And then they become aggressive and say something else. Wrong again. Ouchhhh.... Whom to blame?? Sometimes I pity these politicians. They behave like a completely normal person who would become defensive and would loose his cool when countered with so many allegations. But oh my, they are supposed to behave like learned people. Poor politicians. Till the time they realize this, they are already on the "today's breaking news" section of leading news channels. Haha. My serious apologies for this wrongly timed laughter. But I get quite amused by the status quo. Got to watch the press conference of the ex law minister Mr. Salman Khurshid. He is a quite learned man and an intellectual indeed. But it was really surprising to see the otherwise cool politician lose his cool when questioned over by a media person. He suddenly seemed an uneducated person with no self esteem. And then while watching a program featuring the brave act of IAS officer Ashok Khemka, in which he confronted the son-in-law of the most powerful Gandhi family, Mr. Robert Vadra by cancelling the mutation regarding the plot of land that DLF sold to Mr. Vadra, I happened to come across Mr. KTS Tulsi, senior lawyer of the Supreme Court. A non political person though, but caught while supporting a political family. He accused Khemka of 'want of publicity' to launch his political career. Again a mistake of words. Even the anchor of the news show became aggressive and Tulsi found himself in jeopardy. Ohho Tulsi Ji... You are a Supreme Court Judge, and on a national television, remember?? I will again shift to Mr. Khurshid(As you can see I am really disappointed to witness such behavior from a man of his demeanor). In his constituency in Farukhabad, Khurshid kind of threatened Mr. Kejriwal by statements of the sort "I have been made the Law Minister and asked to work with the pen. I will work with the pen but also with blood" and " Let them come and visit Farrukhabad. But let him also return from Farrukhabad." Surprising enough. I would again prefer to give Mr. Khurshid my pity. He seems to be falling short of memory to remember his position which totally restricts him from using such 'filmy' dialogues. The next funny statement came from the mouth of Mr. Beni Prasad Verma. In rescue of Khurshid, all he could think of to say was that Khurshid was a rich man and would not do a scam for a meager amount of some 75 lakhs. Hahaha. Sorry again. I really find it difficult to control myself now. I really feel sorry for Mr. Verma. Tried to do something positive by helping his party member and created a whole new controversy. My last victim is Mr. Nitin Gadkari, present BJP president(least hopes for him to get a second term as the party prez now). After being caught (again by our warrior Mr. Kejriwal) for his alleged dubious funding of his Purti Group, he was found giving weird statements. Well, honestly, I was never an admirer of Mr. Gadkari. But his recent statement and the reaction it brought gave me serious giggles. Mr. Gadkari gave this statement in which he equated the IQ's of Swami Vivekanand and underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. He further added that while Swamiji used it for social welfare, the don used it for quite the opposite. I believe, though, that Gadkari would not have meant what was portrayed thereafter.Perhaps he wanted to give a social message. But oh this poor timing again. He definitely would be banging their heads for saying those words. But in this interesting sequence of events, I really enjoy what all is happening. otherwise our politics is quite boring. No rhetoric, no adventures, nothing. This all what's coming up is at least is giving some flavor to the otherwise non happening politics. Maybe some people would blame me for being non serious here, but I think it's time for our politicians to get serious and mature now. And for the time being, it's my turn to enjoy...:)
Jai Hind...!!!
