All hail vote banks..

Arjun Singh died recently. I dont know if he had a reservation quota set for who will be carrying him. Some people say that you should not speak ill of the dead. but this was no great man. Heck, not a good man either. He was vote bank politician. A wonderful manipulator. The "handy" party has always been good at supporting one family and one caste. but who am I to judge.

I am a Hindu. but that does not mean that I believe in everything BJP/RSS says. They have their own votebank politics going on. All these slogans about Hindu Jagruthi etc means wooing the Hindu's for their vote. May be thats how India is. People do more to their castes than the general society

Why do I hate Arjun Singh? Politicians like him are giving people reasons to divide and fight. Rahul Gandhi recently announced that RSS was as dangerous as SIMI. That doesnt make any sense to me (No,I do not what he was smoking). He looks like a promising young leader but talking like this is not going to help. Mommy is busy teaching Mr Manmohan Singh on how to be the Man.

Wait.. Am I writing a hate blog? yes. I am. This was the person who wanted reservations at IIMs and IITs. Now, I'm not against reservations. but there has to be a limit. General merit should be valued at such places. Its ok for all other schools and colleges. Everyone deserves education. IIMs and IITs are the best places to study in India. Students should get into them by their sheer merit. not because they have caste advantage.

This is the same guy who was the CM of MP during Bhopal gas tragedy. I'm not sure how good his conscience was when he chose to be silent instead of fighting against Warren Anderson/Union Carbide. May be his loyalty stopped him to do it. And his loyalty to one family instead of the country is another reason.

And there is the Churhat lottery and Kerwa Dam palace controversy. The scam with lottery and how he got a nice "house" built. Oh, there was a donation by Union Carbide as well for this. Ans then there was Deemed University status given to private educational institutions which did not meet the educational standards and had to be repealed later.

People who support him say he tried bringing social equilibirum.. Balderdash. That man was as vote centered as any other politician. Bottom line he is definitely not going to heaven. If the God fellow has a conscience that is. Thats one thing I firmly believe.

P.S: Read few obituaries. Not many people had good things to say. Wonder what mine would say...
