The madness for power..

Last time round there was the 'power of madness' and this time-election time in India-'the madness people exhibit for power.
Curiosity is my thing. I google pretty much anything and everything, interesting, boring,new anything from time to time. So the past few days there is this Maneka Gandhi and her son Varun Gandhi a lot on the news,it being election time, I googled the mother and entered her wiki page entry. I was always curious as to how she ended up in BJP,but being lowkey,she had evaded my research until now.
And what I found out from there and other pages will leave you or any sensible grown-up in a bubble of disbelief. Full of jaw-drop and all.

I wanted to copy paste the article but,it's too nauseating. To see a woman going to such levels to gain leverage and political ground. All this bullshit debates about obscenity on tv,in movies etc while our leaders-well,so called leaders,if you say- go about unabashedly shattering the concept of boudaries when it comes to power grabbing. Imagine. Imagine what must've been the life of that female victim. Of course, it's not important is it? not all humans are equal. Silly me. But still, the idea of a leader of the nation herself and her daughter-in-law...you know,just discussing the legalities and the profits of the pictures with no regard to anything called ethics sends one into a deeper quagmire of distrust against this sub-species among people,the politicians. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame and corner and typecast the politicians as evil of the society and all that.It's pretty nonsensical in my view,cos they are one of us only. They are born from our own soceity. So it's pretty nonsensical to badmouth them. But then,things like this...another level.

Cut to the present, and 'honorable' Mrs.Gandhi of the BJP goes about remarking, communalising people for the sake of power. Not surprising considering how low they can stoop to if needed. If the ease with which they go about spewing venom is amazing to watch, it's even more amazing to see idiots who constitute their loyal party workers and the other similar public fall for it-every time.
But,credit where it's due-the other day I read another article in a newspaper where they reported that the people in the said constituency were like- ' they have to come up with something better,it's easy to see the plot now and we are in no mood to get into fights'.

P.S. Rajeev Gandhi's then failed assassin,some guy is contesting elections this time-just heard in the news. Hope he has had his rehabilitation in the jail and is totally devoted to social service now. As they say, it's the former drug addicts that make the best drug counsellors. Hehe.
