The great Indian jamboree is never tired of listening to the Gandhi's. Be it Varun Gandhi spitting fire in the Philbit election rally or his cousin narrating his obsession for Kalavathi, we are always holding up our ears whenever they speak. Of late the Rowdy Gandhi seem to be have tasted the first bad blood in elections. Being played and harassed by Mayawathi, some sense seem to have finally dawned upon this emerging Gandhi.
All said and done, I still believe he has not done a great crime. Compared to the Modi harangue, I say this is nothing but an amateurish speech devoid of any political sanity. Look at Modi, his hate speech always reaches the right audience and strikes the right cord with them. Despite the media boys always rubbing wrong with this 56 inch chested ustad, he always has managed to attract people and win their hearts. Be it with hate rhetoric or the development plank, he wooed voters left, right and center. The media looks tired of attacking him and finally looks as if they have resigned to accepting defeat. What more, some media houses even think being on Modi sahib's side is better and have started rallying in his support. Now compare this with Varun Gandhi, who has invited wrath from the media and the Janta as a whole. Except for the top echelons of the BJP, not many people seemed to come to his aid. Till Uma Bharathi has taken over the cover up job, you can say the BJP was clue less of how to protect this precious Gandhi triumph card that providence seemed to have gifted the BJP. The point is, the whole of BJP inclusive of Modi sahib carry this ideology. But they seemed to have perfected the art of timing the media and playing the communal card the right way and so far barring a few embrassing events have managed to stay clear of courts and legal tangles.
Take Raj Thackeray for instance. For one month, he lionised the media and made the average Maharastrian think about the migration point. Be it Lallu or Nitish kumar or for that matter our very own Bala Sahab, all of them were made to think. But once election were announced, he silently side stepped the entire ruckus. Now, he has created an impression, a very strong impression and managed to get off to the side track. Imagine what could have happened if he had done this in the peak of election campaign? I guess you can guess!
I say politics is an art few artists can manage to excel. Those who have, also ensure others don't. Till then, Varun Bhai, its a learning experience. Hang on!!
