A Diabolical Conspiracy

The strong man Modi is scared of Arvind Kejriwal. So he made a plan to take him out of the campaign trail. Just after the election dates are announced, Kejriwal is arrested in a three year old corruption case. The ED seems to be the most active department in Modi’s government.

The timing tells it all. He had to be arrested just one month before the election so that there is no chance of getting a bail and it is guaranteed that he will be out of the AAP campaign.

Now I am not discussing the merits and demerits of the case. Every party needs to fight election and hence needs money. So AAP may as well have collected illegal money and Kejri may as well have taken a cut. I am discussing Modi’s actions, not Kejriwal’s. I do not like Kejriwal at all.

But I think Modi miscalculated this one. Kejri in jail is a better campaign prospect for AAP and the opposition than Kejri on a podium.

Even after subverting all the institutions, after using all the government machineries to cripple the opposition, after spending thousands of crores of public money on self-promotion, after completely eliminating the free press, he is petrified to face the public wrath.

For him only Modi matters, country, party, society can go to hell.

Do you want this insecure, self-centred, vengeful, mean person to be your next PM?

Please think and vote.

Pisir Chora

Thik duppur bela
Pisike dilo ke thela
Pisi ulte pare
Kapal gelo chore
Samne asche vote
Pisir kapale chot
Pisir kato na rango
Dekhbe e pora Bango
Khema dao pisi ebar
Shasti diecho dedar
Bange ebar dhando
Pisir dokan bando
