Some are regional parties but there are many parties that have national aspirations. They want to win elections and serve us. They want to project their leaders as the best leaders to have been born in India. They can't stop singing the praise of such leaders.
But these are only online warriors. They grab each others throats at
the slightest of provocation or whisper about their leaders and get down
into the gutter quickly. BJP too has its own full army of trolls. While
in opposition they too are quick to inundate you with the choicest of
abuses often calling you body parts used for sex and abusing you mother,
sister, wife and everyone in between. They are more than willing to
insert anything into you and rip you apart lest you say even a word
against their leaders. And while in power, they do the same with added
protection of their profiles being endorsed and followed by some of
their top leaders!!!
But when it comes to talking about the interest of the people, most voices and warriors fall silent. They wait for instructions from their exalted leaders. They will only open their trap when their leaders open theirs. And most leaders are compromised being part of a corrupt system. They can't even squeak lest the corrupt BJP government comes after them with its full machinery.
This is the state of our democracy.
I hate the Shiv Sena for the bigoted party that they are and for the son-of-the-soil agenda that they promote and for their naked Hindutva agenda but today it is the only party that is asking the tough questions to the government at the center. On this subject, I stand with them and would tend to add my voice to the questions that they ask.
Does that make me a Shiv-Sainik. Guess not. But the trolls will come after me. From all parties. Because all they believe in is Bhakti. Blind Bhakti.
