The 3 AKs


Well, bringing in the political flavour in the onset of elections, fair campaigning is the right campaigning, and negative campaigning is the worst political gimmick played. But then, its Indian politics. There is apparently no fun to the elections without a hate speech to instigate millions, throwing Desi molotov cocktails at opposition party workers or having a Gandhi to mock at. As per the recent trend, black ink is drawing popularity amidst disgruntled youth seeking publicity in the pretext of seeking  justice for their own political ideologies. Probably throwing footwear has become too mainstream!!
Just today I heard over the news, an analogy drawn by Mr Modi to eventually take a dig at Congress and the AAP. Mr Modi showed his efficacy at verbal slaying, by saying that 3 AKs  will prove fatal to this country. The AKs being

1. AK-47- the famous Kalashnikov, bringing people closer to death since 1946. Popular for the ease with which it can blow your mind, as in literally, the AK is a deathly wand at hand that even Voldemort would trade his nose for or Salman Khan would trade his virginity for. Sanjay Dutt has long been a promoter of this tool to the Indian Judiciary. In fact, the judiciary has been so impressed by his marketing abilities, that he is regularly sent out on paroles to continue it.

2. AK Antony- There are two kinds of people who leave you speechless. One who will enamour you by their sheer display of verbal abilities, and the ones who exude a sense of confidence, focus and responsibility. Mr Antony is neither. But there is something that he is indeed passionate about and you can't take that away from him, his passion to stall defence deals.

3. Arvind Kejriwal aka AK  49- Well, the name is enough. Say that name in a regular Indian household, apart from the fact that he indeed is the AAM AADMI we would desperately like to believe he is, him being an IITian may also earn him points from lot of parents across the country. He has a holistic propaganda which is unsubtle and economically unsound. One can give him the benefit of doubt of being new to politics, but that certainly doesn't earn one the right to make mockery out of the entire political structure. He can be seen as the hyperactive kid in the household who is the least productive, yet makes the most noise.

I am no Modi fan, but certainly things are very wrong with the others in the political fray right now.
