The slugfest called politics,ugh!!

I have gotten very lazy these days. My tighter waistline and my complaining pants are living evidence. Concernced people know how excruciating it is to button that tight pant :( . I realized I must exercise regularly,eat properly and sleep on time. I definitely can have a good looking body,maybe not in the league of Brad Pitt/Surya/Aamir though. But I also realized that the elections were around the corner and I was only looking at the posters in Metro Plus(supplement with The Hindu) rather than read the paper. So I forgot the six-packs momentarily and focussed my attention on the political scenario.

If I could draw a chart of my reactions at the present campaigning, it would be a psychiatrist's dream manual. I was initially horrified that Varun Gandhi could give such a hatred-inciting speech.A few days later it turned to shock when I heard he was being charged under NSA. Now this was a relatively new term to a lazy bum like me. When I came to know that it was THE National Security Act that we are talking about, I was like "What the *&%#?". This guy did make a horrifying speech,but NSA??Ain't that a bit too far?? As days passed, Varun's situation worsened and it occured to me(no self-realisation,it is da papers) that poor Varun is a pawn in the political game between Congress and BJP. Each party used him for their own political gains,what with Varun's cousin Rahul being a strong contender for the Congress. I am utterly disgusted at the dirty politics being played. However,I felt sad for Maneka Gandhi who was suffering and Mayawati made sure she gained some political mileage out of this issue.

My disgust turned to anger when politicians started using Varun for their campaigning. Our honourable Railways minister and ex-Bihar CM Laloo ji said,"I would have run a roller over Varun". When a FIR was later filed on him(quite useless to say the least), he modified the statement shamelessly and said, "I meant the roller of Law" (bullsh*t man!!). Not much drama came from the political center of the country. And so to pep up things, we had this verbal duel(not directly of course) between L K Advani & Manmohan Singh. Things were getting serious and hence we have the best of joked reserved for the last. Modi, the mastermind behind the Gujrat riots and other mindless violence in Gujrat said,"Congress is a 125 year budiya(old woman) who is only a burden". Now, Priyanka decided to take a swab at it and there she was smiling in to the camera,"Do I look old to you?Or does Rahul or my mother Sonia Gandhi". Seems Modi was in wait and pounced with a rehash like Laloo. He now uses the word gudiya(doll). Now is when we have a sensible reply from Priyanka.She said its better to focus on development issues rather than on gudiya-budiya matters. A sensible reply?Or out of words?

I don't care anymore,election campaign is at its peak.When it rains,it pours!! Better not get wet.
