Koi Kahe.. Keheta Rahe...

The least expected things happen most frequently in politics ! Let it be Manmohan sing becoming PM,
Chandrababu losing in Andhra, Ram Naik losing to Govinda... the link goes on..
Coming to think about the "element of un-expectable" most of these events was not even existing for
the "local voter". (In case of Ram Naik and Govinda.. one should really question the meaningfulness of
democracy).

These were all media blunders ! I just keep wondering on one qustion.. who the hell has ever
asked these people to predict who will win ?? !!! The meaningfulness of the "news channel" has long
been lost. All these pundits do is occupy the cameras and TVs for some hours... How come a bunch of
people sitting in AC rooms, predict what a vidhan sadha would look like when none of them is actual
voter ?

What happened to these "prediction wallahs" in these gujrat elections was phenomenal ! Narendra Modi
must be chanting "Koi Kahe Keheta Rahe...". at last he is the one who has mud or blood, whatever it is
on his hands, for people of gujrat. And a voter walking on streets knows him way much better than these
"prediction wallahs".

People of Gujrat have elected him when all odds were stacked against him. Clearly Congress didnt had
any thing except Godhra on their mind. Where as junta has clearly seen Modi and his cadre during and
after the riots. And they are clearly more than happy to elect him one more time!

No "maut ke saudagar" slangs, no media hipe, no internal rivalry.. nothing was able to challenge Modi.

One phrase for them...

Congress : Should read Fatima Bhutto's comments on Bilawal's appoitment as PPP leader... "Its not a
family business"... Try to think beyond the "G" name.
Media "prediction" pundits : just shut up !

Really interesting to read..
Few doubts

"who the hell has ever
asked these people to predict who will win ?? !!! "

"How come a bunch of
people sitting in AC rooms, predict what a vidhan sadha would look like when none of them is actual voter ?"

and then you go on saying

"Clearly Congress didnt had
any thing except Godhra on their mind. Where as junta has clearly seen Modi and his cadre during and
after the riots."

Aren't these statements contradictory to each other?
Aren't you inferring something based on your prejudices or few articles?
