RG's Women Empowerment

Some time back we all know Rahul Gandhi gave an interview to Arnab on Times Now. In that interview “women empowerment” was the phrase which he kept on repeating. The entire social media went abuzz on that phrase. Every John, Johny & Janardhan made fun out of it. Rahul Gandhi face was painted with a “dumb”stemper.

Now, when I think about what he said, I feel he made sense. We (I) the people, as an impatient ones might have missed it. For a moment forget Rahul Gandhi and the bully Arnab, just think of what Rahul said in that interview. What Rahul said is reality and it is true in every word.

I was looking for people who can defend him (apart from congressmen), but I didn't find any, I didn't even find any women to endorse or support his “women empowerment” views. I thought some women, girl, lady would say “Hey guys!, what he said about women empowerment has to become a reality. While subjectively he is correct, but objectively he might be eyeing the vote bank or trying to dodge Arnab’ questions”. But there were no voices for his aid.

Many saw this as his objective point of view and didn't take it serious or for the fact they (I) didn't even consider it. End of the day, if we don't like a person, whatever he\she says is not important and we give a damn. 

I could have stopped here, but...

If Rahul Gandhi’ objective views about “women empowerment” is not taken seriously. Why do the objective views of Mulayam Singh Yadav’ rapist views to be taken seriously?

RG, NAMO & NOTA

Things are moving thick and fast in the Indian political theater. 

The action is shifted from Narendra Modi to Rahul Gandhi. RahulG was in a perfect state of slumber, in fact he was lost in the limbo, just like in the movie Inception, he was in his fifth dream and then he went into the limbo. 

Then all of the sudden he realized something or somebody has given him a “kick”. He woke-up and said “.. this ordinance is non-sense..”, I thought he is thinking this as Sep-2014. Annachi, we are still in Sep-2013, it is a pre-election year. He might have thought it as Sep-2014, where they won’t in power!.

This has to be a perfectly orchestrated drama by the RahulG team. In Tamil, there is a saying, nan adikuramatri nadikuren, nee azuvuramatri nadi. I hope that the dynastic politics doesn't get along in the next elections. This is not good for the country, especially if it is RahulG, a BIG NO.

Now, what ( who ) is going on the other side, Narendra Modi. The chest thumping, Gujuji, who is labeled by a section of media and his followers as the savior of India. 

He is portrayed in such a way that India is worst performing country when compared with Uganda and Afghanistan. Considering global economic conditions, India is playing a decent game. We don’t need a one-man savior. Modi, is too charismatic to become a PM of India. A mute box like MMS is good than to have a chatter box NM. 

With BJP already split into pro-against-Modi groups, they won’t find any consciousness to form a government, if there is a hung verdict. I doubt Modi can’t get along with other parties, as Vajpayee did, except few like MNS and JJ.

When Democratic politics doesn’t play well, Dynastic and Dictatorship takes a lead role. All D’s.

But, never knew, as Gounder said “Arasiyal iduellam sadarnammapa”.

The biggest game changer in the Indian electoral system is the NOTA, None of the Above. ??? There are several question marks, it’s a good move to secure the privacy of the voter, who doesn't wish to vote for anyone, but apart from it this NOTA is a cruel joke.

As per the former Election Commissioner, “Even if 90 voters in an electorate of 100 persons press the NOTA button, the poll will be decided in favor of the candidate who gets the maximum of the remaining 10 votes" . The math and reason doesn't go along well here. So if 50% of the total voter mark for NOTA, then every candidate in that constituency should be scrapped and fresh nominations should be held. 

The netha's will ask, what if this situation is in more than 300+ constituencies. ??

People – IT’S MY VOTE BOSS, YOUR JOB IS TO FIELD A GOOD CANDIDATE.

I’m the one who has faith in our system, who can travel to and fro for 15 hours to cast my vote. On some occasions (elections), when I don’t know whom to choose, I will vote for an independent candidate. Most of the time, this independent candidate will get only a single digit count, he/she must be puzzled of it !

What's up in UP !

Uttar Pradesh is always in limelight, no wonder it produced more Prime Minister's, whoever wins more LS seats in UP always has a say in the central government. A state which always decides the fate of this countries political class. Media romanticize UP than any other state ( Leave Delhi and Mumbai ). Looks like now Akilesh Yadav ( viv-a-vis Mulayam ) got a upper hand. Also it's Rahul Gandhi' favorite state, where he will have morning breakfast with the poor.

My latest cartoon on the events that are unfolding in UP.
