The title refers to the recent ruling that Pappu Yadav cant contest the elections due to his ‘track’ records.. Well I drew inspiration for this title from the recently popular bollywood number ‘Pappu can’t dance’. Talking of Bollywood many of them are in the fray this elections. One says his father died because of the Congress Party while his sibling says his father died for the Congress party. Sibling rivalry coupled with some grammatical conflicts between ‘for’ and ‘because’ makes this election interesting.
I’m back to this blog after a hiatus; the reason being was busy and didn’t find reasons enough to pen (type) a story. But finally couldn’t resist the temptation of the Great Indian Democracy on the threshold of exercising its franchise.
A Gandhi behind bars and shifted bars (as in Jails) in the meantime for having batted for Hindutva when his grandfather’s name was Feroze and he himself was half Parsi and Half Sikh… a Dutt who carried out a sting on a Union minister and a Pappu who cant neither dance nor stand in this elections where inspirations enough for this blog.
It was a MONTH in which you saw all about the ‘HOW NOT BE A DEMOCRACY’ basics being displayed. Young kids off the block churn out speeches on dismembering other humans and whip up communal passion; couple of Avatomov Kalashnikov fans are denied tickets. All this happens when a former Under Secretary to the United Nations is also in the race but pulled up by our now famous Public Interest Litigation enthusiasts for having asked people to sing the anthem from their heart. Funny country this!!!
The media makes its money by analysing all of the above in programs titled the ‘The buck stops here’ when they clearly know that the buck never stops here nor there but just gets passed on.
Kudos to the Election Commission in their effort to carry out one of the most challenging tasks in one of the biggest democracy in the world. Let’s hope every one of us makes use of our rights to exercise our franchise and return the most efficient and honest leaders to the parliament to lead this country.
