How To Win Elections

Narendra Modi Master Modi says,
Think to the future. Kill anyone who won’t vote for you.

Well, apparently it worked. The guy’s won the Gujarat elections, even though the main BJP didn’t even support his campaign. You’ve got to give it to the Congress, they’re the equivalent of the USA’s Democratic Party, only slightly less bad than the alternative, with the potential to make some really good decisions except that they manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Talented buggers, only they can make the impossible a habit.

I hope no one ever forgets that this guy presided over the worst communal riots in India this side of the century. Some figures say that nearly two thousand people were killed. Well done sir. A job well done.

  1. Sad. I wouldn’t be surprised if he became Prime Minister next.

    Looks like Rediff is glad how their political analyst got it right.

  2. Holy shit! That would be a super recipe for disaster. The guy is a demagogue, the way he claims that India’s sovereignty was assaulted when he was refused a visa.

  5. Horrible fellow.

    Makes you wonder what’s wrong with an old fashioned assasination.

  6. The last time this nation tried that we ended up with a couple of asses leading us.

  7. We should try it again. I’ll tell Ragha.

  8. Ragha’s too suspicious, he’ll looks like he’s going to do it.. He’ll go stand in front of the U.S. embassy and decide to check his UPS again. Then they’ll shoot him thinking he’s a bomber.

  9. You rant for the likes who support your view.

    Think to the future, Vilify all those “who you don’t like get voted”.

  10. Vilify? Dude, there’s no doubt that he presided over the Gujarat pogrom. He is either incompetent or malicious. Considering his fundamentalist stance I think it is reasonable to assume the latter.

    You’re right about one thing though, I don’t like him. And what I said above is why.
