Something about LK Advani, the BJP’s PM candidate makes me feel like Sancho Panza. And the need to point out to some Don Quixotes the classic Panza line
Pray look better, Sir… those things yonder are no giants, but windmills
In recent days the duncish LK Advani has been given a halo he does not really deserve, and particularly on the Net where a committed group of aspirational but muddle headed people have been clamoring to have us, the Middle India, vote for him.
Not only do those mugshots CONSTANTLY interfere with my browsing, but the half baked accounts of how India would progress under him as defacto strong man and Prime Minister generates enough methane to light up the planet.
That LK Advani could be foolish to dream of himself as India’s next Prime Minister is no accident, his dreams were always greater than his abilities, but for the supposed intelligentsia to look for redeemable attributes in him really gets my croak.
Come on yaar, he is another khakhi chaddi come good, nothing more. That he has no real ability he proved in his last incarnation as India’s worst Home Minister ever, Shivraj-ji please excuse. No imagination and those old glasses cannot see beyond Pakistan. And this man is being promoted as a visionary and a man who can lead India. To Where?
Shocked at such travesty, I did discuss this with one of the “IN” Crowd that surrounds him. I was told that the idea is to sanitise him and not let him speak his mind and spoil the BJP’s chances for this election.
They were willing to take the risk that he might pop off right during this election itself, the sympathy (read ’sense of relief’ ) votes could be tremendous.
So rather than spout his favorite version of Hindutva, which fetches votes only in Gujarat, he is asked to talk about IT, another thing he knows nothing of. The joke, I was told, was on LK Advani and he has enough brains not to recognise it.
LK Advani for PM, hmm…
