During the election campaign, I was patiently gathering some sound bites from the many worthies that we have. And here is what I had gathered. What I got to see was a pattern. It was the completely-out-of-touch-with-reality’ attribute of all these worthies.
While Omar Abdullah’s wisdom amazed me, the combined wisdom of Mayawati and Mamata floored me. I didn’t want to die out of laughter and hence did not include the wisdom of many worthies from Tamil Nadu. And consciously I have avoided the sparkles of wisdom of the ‘stupid in white’ – Rahul – for I would have to write several posts just to cover his erudition.
I have avoided Sonia’s wisdom for that would need a separate dossier.
I did not consider the Communists worthy of any mention as it is not right to talk about ideologies that are long dead and gone. In India, people who are dead are not made fun of.
Read the gems from Manmohan and Oommen Chandy too. They exposed their wisdom no only when in power but also just prior to the counting date.
Hope you enjoy these ‘gems’ and know who all to avoid in the future too.
Mayawati :
“I want to make it clear that BSP will not extend any kind of support to Modi or NDA to form the government at any cost”.
Mamta Banerjee : “if he says BJP’s doors are open for a Modi-led government, then I will use the same analogy to say that our doors are shut and the keys have been thrown away.”
K S Elangovan ( DMK) :
“We have minorities on our side and Modi has the stigma of 2002 riots. Hence, we cannot support NDA keeping in view our interest in our state”
Mulayam Singh:
“There is no Modi wave and we Won’t support modi even if bjp gained post elections”.
Prakash Karat :
“There’s no Modi wave, it’s an anti-Congress wave”
Puri Shankaracharya :
“A ‘naami gunhegaar’ (noted criminal) is contesting from Varanasi and I will be there to expose him”.

“There is no Modi wave in the country. New young voters have registered to the electoral list thereby increasing the voting percentage”.
Kapil Sibal :
“The fact is that there is no Modi wave, perhaps some Modi slaves in the country”.

Shashi Tharoor :
“The message I gather from this is that Congress is back in Chennai.If there is a Modi wave, would he need all these people to surround him?”

“One thing I am sure about, now more than ever, is that it will not be (Narendra) Modi’s government. If you do the calculations, you see that Modi cannot reach the number at which he can be the prime minister”.
Jairam Ramesh:
“There is no Modi wave, only Modi poison”.
Oommen Chandy :
“.I’m confident; we at the Congress party are expecting results more than the last elections….BJP wave is also not a correct thing, there is neither Modi wave nor BJP wave”.
