Not a day goes by when at least five people around me would not curse the congress for its policies or arrogance. Also not a day goes by when the news channels dont get anything better to show than Rahul Gandhi's India Vihar. I hear people say that the Congress would be totally up rooted in the next elections. I beg to differ though. No matter how bad the congress is the opposition BJP just works as hard to be worse.
I think hypocrisy has been a tradition in India which is followed religiously. And in this case BJP has vowed to make sure it does not miss a chance to do so. Long gone are the days of leading by example. This is the era of 'I ll kiss my own ass' if there is some political mileage to offer.
Be it the supporting the Lokpal bill even though the post has been vacant in Gujarat for almost an eternity for no reason. Be it the anti corruption crusade against the Congress with the Yeddy and the Reddy in the background. Be it the telecom policies which the BJP had a chance to modify when in power. Be it sharing the stage with the TRS which declared that a 12% reservation to minorities would be given if Telangana was granted. And now, be it the the FDI investment in retail sector which they included in their manifesto in 2005.
BJP seems to be reading the book 'How to win an election for dummies' and are actually following it quite seriously. Being in the opposition for decades have made them forget the logic behind an opposition. The idea of opposition which remains with them currently is 'To Oppose'. To oppose everything everytime everywhere. I doubt if they would refrain from opposing even if the government decides to build a Ram Mandir, as grand as the Colosseum, in Ayodhya. They seem to be willing to do anything if there is even a slightest ray of hope to win an election.
On a positive note, these acts of stupidity of the Opposition have made the next elections quite balanced. There is absolutely no clear winner. 2014 is going to be the year of the bookies to cash on the act of Dumb and Dumber.
PS : This post was long due given the Congress bashing in other posts of mine. Also Digvijay Singh called me last night and threatened to write this post or else he would tag me as an Right wing terrorist.
