Subject: Re: [silk] Why have Indian exit polls been so off lately?
Brilliant,
We all should stop looking at the past and make sure right lizards get
into the Parliament on the development plank only. I feel caste,
religions and divisive politics should not be taken into count when
voting. Right Lizard should be selected on basis of what it will do
for the constituency more than other competing lizards. The congress
has done well in Punjab owing to sad uninspiring candidate selections
by Akali Dal and the BJP.
Question to Sirtaj Singh is - I wanted to know how well Navjot Singh
Sidhu is doing in his constituency on development plank? I ask this
because he had a case on him, on which I haven't read properly and he
has won again in his constituency.
Also, when I said we should stop looking at past, I don't mean we
should forget the history and the mistakes committed in the past. We
should ensure the victims should get justice also. But when electing,
we should vote on the development plank only and not look into past
and vote against a good person because he belongs to the bad party.
I've been most delighted about Renuka Chowdhary's defeat, Vaiko's loss
and the loss of Ranjeet Ranjan wife of Pappu Yadav, and the defeat of
Sadhu Yadav, the terorrising brother of Laloo Yadav. Slowly, there is
optimistic hope that the criminals will be silently flushed out of the
Indian politics. I also fore-see a bad time for the stupid MNS in
Maharashtra.
As for Modi, one day he will have to explain in the court of justice,
what he was doing at the time of riots. So far, he hasn't been
implicated nor any credible evidence has been presented and proved
against him. He has been doing extremely well in the court of public
opinion as Lok-sabha and the assembly elections in Gujarath have shown
and it is undeniable that he has re-invented him as Mr.Development.
However if he is proved to be guilty anytime in the future in the
courts of India, with credible proof, I will be one of the first to
demand his resignation from active politics.
