as for hired - not sure if he was the guy who was behind anything other
than the friendsofbjp.org spam. there was tons of flashy banner
advertising, SEO (amateurishly blackhat most of it), sms spam, random
automated blog posts etc. Most of it was like someone had learnt emarketing
101 and combined it with the sort of instinct that makes people splash out
on bright, bright colors at weddings (red saris you can see from a mile
off, govinda style flashy clothes for the groom, 100 rupee notes taking the
place of confetti etc).
rajesh has been around for rather longer than a lot of people so I do hope
the entire campaign was not him.

Rajesh is a BJP supporter.
He wasn't 'hired' in that sense.
congratulate him from me for his spectacular own goal then
