19 Jan : Arvind Kejriwal did it again.
At a jan sabha in Uttam Nagar on Sunday, he encouraged his supporters to accept bribes from rival parties—mostly BJP and Congress—but vote only for AAP : TOI 19 Jan
Can you believe? his is coming from the man who claims to be fighting against corruption in all walks of life..Kejriwal's desperation is well writ on these words. He somehow seems to have lost faith in himself. A man who came to limelight just by his earnest efforts fighting corruption now vehemently urges common public to take bribes from BJP & Congress and then vote for AAP. Does he believe that people of Delhi are so dishonest and cantankerous that they can be lured by sums of money? Mr Kejriwal, you have forgotten the normal ethics of public speaking and your rhetoric virtually questioning the self respect and personal righteousness of every voter in Delhi, to say the least, was totally condemnable.
We, the Silent Majority, are really stunned watching you falling from the crest of idealism to the nadir of cheap gimmicks just for winning few thousand votes. I am afraid William L Shirer will not hesitate to come out of his grave and come to india to write his next book " Rise & Fall of Aravind Kejriwa"
20 Jan : Ashutosh
We saw Ashutosh of AAP vehemently criticizing Kiran Bedi for contesting elections (she may be declared as CM candidate by BJP). Ashuthosh was a journalist for about 40 years (?) before he joined AAP., He contested the LOKSABHA elections in 2014 with the sole idea of becoming an MP, which was dashed by the knowledgeable Delhites!
If this is not hypocricy what is?
21 Jan : Battle for Delhi
:
So the die is cast! All set for the battle royal for NCRAravind Kejriwal , Kiran bedi and Ajay Maken the three aspirants for CM's coveted chair have filed the nominations .Without wasting a minute they have engaged themselves in cutting the opponents to size. If you carefully follow the TV channels you will get of enough expressions and accusations which make you wonder how the election campaigning in India can stoop down so low. The first thing in the morning before the sun got out of the hangover of last nite Kejriwal criticized Kiran Bedi for garlanding the statue of Lala Lajpat Rai , a vetreran freedom fighter.and accused Bedi for saffronising him.If some one pays respect to a late freedom fighter does it entail saffronising? Kejriwal's comment was silly and ridiculous to say the least. Then came another salvo, this time from Ajay Maken " Ms Bedi was a good cop, but she has no experience in ' Political Administration" and she would not be able to hold the CM's post. I am sorry. My not so bright mind failed to understand what is Political Adminstration! Ohh! May be the dirty games that politicians play in out of parliament and assemblies to keep theier chairs intact !May be Ms Bedi is new to this, definitely not her fault! I have only one question.In 1984, after the assassination of Ms Indira Gandhi, when you chose Rajiv Gandhi as the Prime Minister of this vast country did he have enough experience in this so called political administration ? Mind you, he was a successful Prime Minister in many ways!Kindly wait. You will get more masala to digest in the days to come!
22 Jan : MM Hassan
ഹസ്സന്റെ ഫലിതം !ആർ ബാലകൃഷ്ണപിള്ളയെ U D F ൽ നിന്ന് പുറത്തആക്കിയാൽ കേരളത്തിന് ഒരു അണ്ണാ ഹസാരേയെ ലഭിക്കുമെന്ന് KPCC Vice President, M M Hassan : Manorama News
OMG ! So far thought this Hassan Sahib has some gray matter in the upper storey! I think he is so confused about corruption, Pillai & Anna Hazare. He shouldn't have shown the audacity to compare Pillai with Anna. It is definitely belittling the man who is a crusader against corruption. Also I am sure Pillai himself won't approve of it. Please don't drag that old frame of Anna into your petty political discourses. Please leave us alone too ! We have the sensitivity and sensibility to perceive correctly the impact of washing the dirty linen in public by you and all other parties!
22 Jan : Overheard in the park
"what relief ! Sreenivasan can not contest for BCCI President"
" come on yar ! If Sreenivasan is not there some other Vasan wcill come and conduct another 3 IPLs in one year and we bloody fools will watch them fully knowing that all matches are fixed"
23 Jan : Confucius once said "Silence is a true friend who never betrays.
Glad that Rahul, Karat & Modi to an extent understood Confucius! They did not break silence this year till 22 Jan!. Sorry to say that, apart from Pinarayi Vijayan & Oommen Chandy, other so called leaders of both LDF & UDF including the most repulsive voices of N Madhavan kutty, Cherian philip, Ajay Tharayil, Rajmohan Unnithan and to top it all that of Bhasurendra Babu haven't learned the value of silence so far. Pray that, for God's sake, they learn the art of silence fast and thereby save innocent people like me from the agony of listening to them any further.
24 Jan : Overheard during morning walk
" Hi what is hppening in Congress?"
" Nothing happening that is the problem "
" Listen Yar. congress men are competing each other to praise Modi. Last week it was Tharoor.This week Janardan Dwivedi & Karthik Chidambaram followed suit Next may be AK Antony who knows ! Leaving aside our friend Mani Shankar Iyer & Sanjay Jha most of the congressmen are in line to praise Modi. It is clear from the fact that though PC Chacko said Dwivedi issue stands a closed chapter, Ajay Maken says it is not & PC Chacko does not know all. Even now nothing is heard from the the Vice President.! "
"Silence is Golden Yar!.Confucius said Ok"
24 Jan : Overheard during evening walk
" Are yar aap ka Kejriwaj Saab U Turn ka master hai Kya ? "
" He is complaining that he has not been invited for the Republic Day Parade''
" Yes he is right , he is ex CM of Delhi "
" Come on yar the Centaral Govt has clarified that no former CM of Delhi has been invited . Does he have THREE HORNS? Why he is complaning ? He only wanted Republic Parade to be scrapped last year. Either he is suffering from Alzheimer's or from inferiority cpmplex. No sensible man can take such a U Turn ! "
" You said it 'grapes are sour ' But you are too harsh with him "
"You started it & I feel he deserves too "
26 Jan : Kerala ditches Keralites.
In today's Republic Day parade , sorry to state, there was no float from Kerala or any item about which a Keralite can be proud of ! I feel this is the first time Kerala gave a miss to the Republic Day parade.Even among the spectators apart from a glimpse of Shri PJ Kurien no Malayali stalwart was visible not even photogenic Shashi Tharoor!. Did Antonys, Vayalar Ravis,Prakash Karats, Chandrachoodans and others who are permanently domiciling in Delhi opt out ? Was it by default or by design ?
Whatever, I consoled myself " Confucius once said 'You get a govt what you deserve' "
28 Jan : Kiran Bedi lacked Induction programme
In big business houses and corporates there is something called Induction Programme for any one joins the the organisation irrespective of the position in which he is appointed. The sole aim of this programme is to give a detailed briefing on the overall functioning of the org. irs core values, core competencies, professional ethics and practices etc etc apart from DOs & Dont's. The duration of this exercise varies from few days to a month depending on the structure and spread of the org.This sort of Induction Programme , one feels, is very essential for political parties too. It is very dangerous to launch some one like Kiran Bedi as the Chief Ministerial candidate of Delhi with out going through proper induction programme in the BJP. The result, she comes out with bloopers every second day leaving Sambit Patras to face the multi rocket barrage form all the political rivals as also from the media persons. Harsh Vardhan, the seasoned politician that he is, should have briefed Bedi about the DOs & DOnt's in politics.Now Ajay Maken can well boast " Did'nt I say in advance that Ms Bedi lacks in ' Political adminstration!"All political parties may please ensure that the new entrants go through a well structured Induction Programme before they are entrusted with serious assignments so that common people like me is saved from the agony of watching debates like Debate No1 of yesterdayin Prime Time with Arnab Goswami .
28 Jan : Quote of the day
"A man who does not think and plan long ahead will find trouble right at his door: Confucius"
No wonder RG finds Diggy at his door everyday!!
30 Jan : Overherad during Evening Walk
"Are yar few years back it was Najma Heptulla who quit the Congress!"
"So What "
"Two weeks back it was Krishna Tirath who quit the Congress Ok "
" So ? can't any one quit the Congress? "
" No , Yes any one can! Today it is Jayanthi Natarajan who is quitting the Congress "
"So What? How does it affect you?"
" Oh! just curiosity Ok! May I ask you when Is Sonia Gandhi quitting the Congress? "
" I don't know, ask Rahul"
31 Jan : Too unfortunate
. Former Press Council chairman Markandey Katju faced criticism on social media after he tweeted that Shazia Ilmi was much more beautiful than Kiran Bedi and if Shazia was made the CM candidate for Delhi assembly polls, BJP would have won the elections.The former Press Council chief further said in his tweet that people vote for beautiful faces, adding, someone like him who does not vote would also have voted for Shazia. TOI 31 Jan
To say the least the statement by Jjustice Katju was obnoxiousI don't subscribe to the argument that it was sexist, for I do not believe that a retd Supreme Court Justice can stoop to such a level of insensitivity. But it was really unfortunate that two ladies were compared in such an indecent way hurting both, The later tweet that it was on lighter vein only added salt to the wound inflicted. ,I have two questions to the honoured Justice1. If beauty is the yardstick for getting votes how Late Kamaraj & Jagjivan Ram ( Pardon me for taking your names) had managed to win election after election.?2. You stated that you do no vote normally ! How can a judge of the Supreme Court keep away himself from voting knowing fully well that casting his vote is his bounden duty even if it not casting does not constitute an offence!
