Varun Gandhi's hate Speech in Pilibhit

It’s a shocking reminder of how our democracy functions? It’s a repetition of what was always expected. It’s a reassertion of what’s the direction in which we are heading? The democracy is maturing or going off track?

Who thinks that Varun Gandhi was a liberal? Go and read what he has written in so many articles published in the RSS mouthpiece ORGANISER. Well, Gandhi is not the first in BJP or for that matter in Indian Politics to have found such short cuts to success. His fate was in doldrums since when Shivraj Singh Chauhan didn’t let him fight election from Vidisha in 2006 after he became the CM of Madhya Pradesh. Since then, he was really looking for an opportunity to project himself as a rising leader?

What Kalyan Singh and Narayan Rane did? What did Sanjay Nirupam do? Hello, this is politics? And you are mistaken if you still think that politics in this great country is for the cause of democracy.

I always think, why people believe that Nehru, Indira or Rajiv were great. For that matter Advani too has the credit of being the man who changed the polity of India. And I agree with Advani at least on one point. It is on what he told about Jinna being a great man. We consider Ravan also a great king. Why not Jinna?

If Indira imposed emergency, but won a war in the battlefield she becomes great!
Nehru is great as he was Gandhi’s favourite and returned to India to ‘suffer’?
Gandhi, I sincerely believe, was a great person; mistakes can always happen.
But lo Rajiv is also great; because he was killed for he sent IPKF to Lanka to check what was an ethnic problem and required a diplomatic solution?

Varun ‘deserves’ criticism for his effort. But remember until we can’t rid our politics of caste and power and ah sweet money; hate is here to stay!
