It's
not drama. It's contest to survive.
The general Lok Sabha elections
knocking at the doors, everybody has
started reinforcing it's fort. Why
Laluji should stay behind? After
all, this is the Divide and Rule
policy by which he has ruled and
ruined Bihar successfully.
There are other striking examples
put by other politicians which are
nothing but gimmicks to get
attention and sympathy of the
ignorant and emotional voters. Take
example of Priyanka Gandhi meeting
with Nalini, the co-conspirator of
her father’s murder plan. Congress
very well knows that the majority of
seats are expected from South India
(Tamil factor) this time, hence
touching their hearts by visiting a
Tamil prisoner would somehow
increase their just-above-zero
chances a bit. Projection and
rejection of Rahul Baba candidature
for Prime Ministership on the same
day is again a gimmick to just
remind the public about presence of
the prince. Although he has failed
badly in all his election endeavors,
Congress is trying hard to project
him as next king (I mean PM). Left
parties are crying loudly about the
price hikes after all the good four
years in power only now just for the
elections. BJP is taking some
political Viagra doses from these
issues to build muscles of the
so-old PM candidate L. K. Advani.
When everybody is trying best to be
the part of the political circus
which always starts six months
before elections, why Laluji be the
man of dignity? After all, he has
been the best joker since long. -

Actually, I don't agree with
Ravishji. It’s not a contest, it’s a
drama to survive in politics. I
think Ravishji want to say that if
every person is jumping in the well,
then another individual is supposed
to jump in the well also but why?
Why can’t he not do better by not
jumping into the well? Maybe because
of our thinking, which allows us to
do same thing what they are doing.
My point of saying is that a person
should not do something towards own
interest by just saying that the
whole world is doing. Come on, we
should now think like humans living
in 21st century. We need to change
our mind. If we cannot change
ourselves, we should not pass it on
to our generations. We need to show
to our illiterate politicians that
if they don’t do their job in a
right way or if they don’t stop
blaming others, they will never have
a space in the government. - Ajay

Well said Ajayji. There are always
two ways to do a thing in life. The
one is long, thorn- filled, tough
but positive way and the other is
simple shortcut, with less pain,
simple method, short term
achievements but negative for the
person himself and the entire
society. Just like a layman,
standing near a railway track with a
foot-over bridge at 10 steps. The
right ways is to climb the bridge
and to get on the other side and the
other is to jump the track and reach
the other side. The first one is
again a long, slow but safe
approach, but most of the people
choose the other fast way full of
dangers.
The question is to be asked about
the mentality of the society. It was
believed to be divided sharply over
caste, class, religion and other
factors four years ago. Should we
start believing right now, that
everything has changed and its
thinking the rational way.
Ajayji's words would have done good
for a sober, not-so-comic
politician, but not for Laluj. Read
the last line of my comments - best
joker around. - Ravish Kumar,
