Anna Hazare refuses to comment on Kiran Bedi, says politics is dirty
The previous Delhi election was fought on the sole plank “Arvind Kejriwal ne Anna ko Dhokha diya, apney guru ko dhoka diya, etc. etc.”, and I heard it a zillion times from BJP bhakts, in indescribable threatening tones. Why aren’t the bhakts or even Anna Hazare speaking in the same tone now? How do the same Shazia Ilmis, Binnys, AAPtards who were cursed day and night, suddenly turn holy as soon as they join BJP. The accusations and questions suddenly turn into praises. Is BJP the Philosopher’s stone which turns everything into gold as soon as it touches it?
Why are blazing guns who had a question every day during the 49 day tenure of Arvind Kejriwal suddenly silent? Modi has been in office for 8 months now - are the Shiela Dikshits, Sonia Gandhis, Robert Vadras already in Jail? Do no problems plague India now? When did these questions die a sweet death, and did anyone notice? The impatient democrats who needed results on a daily basis, have suddenly gone mute and their patience and understanding is praiseworthy.
I am not sure whether AAP will win Delhi elections or not, but I am keenly interested in knowing whether a common Indian is capable of distinguishing between BS, propaganda and the right intent. I am curious! Can we see? At least for once you should stand up for what’s right, rather than reiterating the hard wired bhakti in your DNA strand (at times unknowingly) since time immemorial. Think for yourself (for once), and don’t let propaganda plant a seed of inception into your mind. It will prevent the common man (you and me) from coming to power this time, and we will continue to be RULED by kings, princes and gods. Nothing much will change in the decades to come. At a bare minimum at least “Think” before you vote this time!

That slap did hurt!
I find it sad (and amusing at the same time) when people make fun of Arvind Kejriwal being attacked or slapped (irrespective of whom you will vote for), and call it a self orchestrated event. For a while, imagine yourself being slapped - and the sudden splurge of adrenaline that you will experience, and then rephrase your thinking. I know you wont, until and unless you get slapped by a politician, and re-evaluate the powerlessness of an AAM Aadmi, and the toothlessness of a system, which suddenly you have started believing in, and have utmost respect for! These days nothing is better than Indian police, law, judiciary and criminal politicians. At least it feels so from your reactions - whereas in the past, it started at “sab chor hain”…..and ended at that as well.
The good thing (for me) is that this AAM Aadmi is undeterred, and at least doing something to change the current state of affairs, whether you like it or not! Meanwhile, hopefully, you wouldn’t get slapped some day by someone powerful - who tells you “tuu jaanta nahi hai ki mai kaun hoon”!
Today Arvind Kejriwal wasn’t slapped. It was you and me who was slapped again, and I can feel the pinch. May be you cannot! As a mark of respect to this great soul, and his undying fighting spirit, and just for the sake of making a statement - I am making this non anonymous contribution to the cause. #iStandWithArvind
May be no birthday treats this year, but this is much more important than you or me! Critics and nation builders, whose sole responsibility is to save this world from the so said AAPtards, mock me when this is over, as you want it to be. Laugh at me when your “ram rajya” is established (and nothing changes, then do repeat iss desh ka kuchh nahi ho sakta), but I am happy and content that at least someone challenged the status quo, stood up, and at least tried. It’s easier to talk, than do. It’s easier to take, than give. At the end of the day, you will get what you deserve, and it will be decided the way you vote!
As for the थप्पड़ शूरवीरs (from a post in FB):
“है हिम्मत तो घूस माँगने वाले पुलिस वाले को थप्पड़ मारो,
दफ्तर में फ़ाइल उठाने की कीमत मांगने वाले चपरासी को थप्पड़ मारो,
अपने ऑटोग्राफ देने की कीमत माँगने वाले अधिकारी को थप्पड़ मारो,
हो हिम्मत तो 500 रुपये में तुम्हारा वोट खरीदने वाले को थप्पड़ मारो,
सड़क में, बस में मेट्रो में, बहनो को परेशान करने वाले लडको को थप्पड़ मारो,
हर बात में धमकी देने वाले, नेता के चमचे को थप्पड़ मारो, और घोटाले करने वाले नेता को थप्पड़ मारो,
पर नहीं,
गुलाम हो तुम, डरपोक हो तुम।
तुम सिर्फ आम आदमी को मार सकते हो, अरविन्द को मार सकते हो”
