Their spokesperson was barking about how poor the prison facilities were. BMW, Khangress and other associated Jholachaapis have already started their 'Hai Tauba' like the presstitutes. SP and Congress are looking at a potential alliance, so SP can pretend to care about Yadavs, while Congress sympathizes with the SIMI dastards. RLD may also join in apparently.

He is one of the best psephologists in India. Since he got started, he predicted every election perfectly barring Delhi, where he got the direction correct but not the scale of AAP's victory. If this is the case, I'm sure two of the other parties will look to tie up. G_B_ and jalebi_bhai 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is also associated with Swarajya Magazine, although they don't fund him full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is wrong in uttering verses from the Holy Koran in a rally? The Badals quote the Granth Sahib in ALL their rallies. The BJP rath yatras have the Hanuman Chalisa playing. Shiv Sena starts with a Jai Bhavani. Do you object to these too? Personally, I do not see anything wrong in quoting scripture. One has to realize that people seek succor in religion. We've had Bollywood celebrities mouthing off popular dialogues in their rallies. Shatrughan Sinha starts his rallies with a "khamosh" and that "jali ko aag kehte hain, bhuji ko raakh kehte hain ... jis raakh se barood bane, usse Vishwanath kehte hain " very frequently.

It reeks of ripe opportunism and theatrics. Did you hear of any Bible recitals by the BJP when they were wooing the Catholic votes in Goa during the last elections? Me neither. Why not? Cause there were no recitals. Deals were struck in private and a few Catholic candidates were given seats. People knew what was going on and so there was no need for any over the top drama. Point I'm trying to make, there are less nauseating ways to woo non-traditional voters. Edited November 20, 2016 by jalebi_bhai tweaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No being satirical at all. For nearly half a century now, the Shiv Sena has been organizing rallies in Shivaji Park on Dussehra. They start with a "Jai Bhavani". I haven't seen any media house make an issue of this. Nor have I seen any reaction. It is a complete non issue. If the BSP started a rally with verses from the Holy Quran, why should the media pay much heed? tweaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should the media censure the approach? I am not saying that uttering religious phrases is progressive politics. It isn't necessarily right. But it isn't wrong also. What exactly should the media report here? tweaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, it is purely the intent I question in this situation. Media doesn't have to censure anything either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
