IT'S FIGURE OF SPEECH…NOTHING SERIOUS…

Pune mirror, Mumbai Mirror, Ahmedabad Mirror, Bangalore Mirror on 09/04/2014

As most of who's who of politics are indulging in obnoxious, dirty and hate mongering speeches only to rubbish or justify it later. Why don’t they start their speeches with a rider that all that they're going to say needs the highest level of understanding equivalent to that of their respective party's spokespersons to decipher their exact intent to make sure that its not convoluted later. It’s a requisite to escape the wrath of EC and the media because when they don’t give such a disclaimer then a comment like 'Vote for Revenge" is seen as a pointer that BJP can't completely give away the politics of hatred and polarization. At a time when people have already decided to confer the PM's post to Modi then what on earth is making BJP feel so ill at ease and again carry the communal baggage that they're known for, which people have agreed to condone this time less because of his claims of development but more because of congress's wretched governance and AAP's antics. What followed next was a clarification by party's spokesperson, something that is practiced by all parties in which our cognitive abilities are questioned. We're told that we either misconstrued or didn't understand the right context and the subtext of what the minister was trying to say and at times we're told that our sense of humor is dry without giving us a chance to refute. Be it Congress’s minister's "Will chop Modi" or Sharad Pawar's "Vote Twice" and now Amit Shah's "Vote for revenge", all these statements could be understood in only one way but all those who take offence of it are forced to accept it as a mere figure of speech, ‘Nothing serious Mate.’
