"Friends" of BJP

These days I am totally lukkha. All my MBA entrance exams are over and I am waiting for the results. So I spend most of the time on net and catch up with my reading. Few days back I got a message on my mobile that there is a seminar happening in Ravindra Natya Mandir, Dadar where Mr. Arun Jaitley, a BJP leader is going to address people before elections. So just out of caprice I decided to attend that seminar. They were calling it as the "friends" of BJP seminar.

I had never been to any such political seminar so while going there I was quite excited. It was going to start on 11 am and I reached there at 11.30. Mr Arun Jaitley was speaking. They had placed speakers as well screens in the corridor so I was able to hear him before entering the hall. He was speaking in his hefty voice. He was standing on the podium wearing his customary white kurta pyjama. They gave me some forms to fill which I returned torn and unfilled. :P. I entered the hall and it was almost full. I got the seat in the last row besides a guy who was wearing almost similar looking attire as arun Jaitley. He was a thin guy must be in his 60's. Mr Jaitley was speaking.

Mr Jaitley was talking about how congress has screwed up India over the years. He was ridiculing congress for being dynastic. How difficult it is for new leaders to reach higher positions in congress because of the dynasty in congress. He also roasted our PM by saying "PM is in office but not in power." Then he gave some examples. Like the numbers given by congress about fiscal deficit(6%) and how experts think that they are far more than what they have given(9%) and how he thinks that they should be far more than what experts have said(13-15%). I was waiting now he will say something about what BJP is going to do. Now he will say but all in vain. He just went on to blackguarding the congress rule.

Then there was a question answer session. . I had a question so I wrote it on a paper and passed it on to the stage through a security guard (I wondered why he was there as no one had checked me while coming inside). Mr Jaitley was now answering the questions. He was asked are you people going to apply some new strategies or you are going to go with the same old methodologies. I thought he should have taken this opportunity to tell everyone about the new visions of BJP instead he said what I am doing right now with you is something new what we are doing. Well begging for votes and ridiculing opposition in AC hall in front of the youth is something new what BJP is doing. Exemplary. My neighbor was impressed clapping and all and also laughing on his taunts on congress. I found it strange and got to know within 5 mins, why he was doing so.

Then came my question which was "I am 22 and most of my generation think that all politicians are corrupt; how will you address that?" and guess what? I was unable to hear what he said. A person sitting next to me started asking me Q's .. My neighbor – some BJP neta from Versova was so impressed with my question(I don't know why) that he poured me with questions. Like what I do and the works. I found him answering my question by saying the answer to your question is what Mr Jaitley was saying about congress being ruled by dynasty. What crap !!. And after 2 mins he did something very (over) smart. He took out some tobacco from his pocket. He ate that and very tactfully he placed the wrapper in the cover of his seat, very carefully making sure that no one is watching him. How long does it takes for a human being to develop a civic sense? 60 yrs are also not enough? Enough is enough.

I am glad I went for this seminar. At least now I am sure to whom I should not be voting.

But to whom should I vote???
