This is election season, not just for the USA but the whole world. What happens in USA doesn’t stay in USA. Thats the problem. It impacts the whole world.
Thanks to TV and Fact Checking, the whole world sees through politicians (and Celebs!) instantly. For long I thought we in India were cursed with politicians who said one thing and meant another while doing something else altogether different! No, I’m consoled wee are not alone. No wonder the US elections is between the two most disliked people!
But I get no real consolation.
In recent times, we’ve seen the power mongers in India take people for a ride. Arvind Kejriwal being a prime example. Build his personal power structure on the backs of millions who gave their time, effort and money. All because he fed us stories we want to hear! I think tinsel town Bollywood is cheaper!!!
Then followed Bernie Sanders. He did exactly what Kejriwal did! So I’m not going to waste space on another dhokabazi [Hindi for back-stabber, ditcher, etc]. He sold out for a few measly $$$ when he could have had the world at his feet! Just like Kejriwal. 100%.
Before these recent examples, we have a hundred strong ‘big names’, all of whom we all know. The biggest being Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, and their progeny.
Now it’s the turn of the BJP to join this illustrious list!
Narendra Modi espouses inane, smooth sobriquets via social media and speeches at industry and social platforms. But for two and a half years, his party army has been spreading exactly the opposite.
Clever? Nah! He’s just losing credibility. His ministers’ good work will not doubt be applauded. But make no mistake, he’s losing his urban middle class base so fast, that he’ll only realise when it’s too late.
The murder of under-trials in Bhopal by a police that also covered up the Vyapam Scam in Madhya Pradesh through ‘elimination’ of key witnesses fools nobody. Obviously, the CM of MP is Modi’s henchman. Unless Modi can prove otherwise, he’s heading the way Hitler went. Unlike the Prez of the Philippines who openly declares he’ll kill all drug related criminals and likens himself to Hitler, Modi is doing so by proxy.
I wonder who all are fooled by that, Mr. Modi? And for how long?
So, you see, all politicians have a forked tongue!
I’m beginning to wonder if this trait is a pre-requisite to be in politics!
