Jarnail Singh, hitherto unknown will be remembered not only for his shoe throwing act but also bringing about a turning point in 2009 LS elections!! His act not only reflected the sentiments of the Sikh community but also has the potential to change the outcome of LS polls in 21 constituencies spread across Punjab, Delhi and Chandigarh. Before a month, odds were 15-6 in favour of Congress. Now after this, odds might reverse - 15 -6 in favour of NDA!!
Similarly Varun Gandhi's remarks could possibly fetch another 10 seats for NDA in UP. Similarly, the ealam issue might as well take away a handful of seats from UPA. Nothing in Democracy is as strong as whipping up passions!! Historically too, Leaders have won just by stirring emotions!! Remember how Mulayam emerged by being an emotional friend of Muslims!! How Indira Gandhi won a election by winning a war?? As long as human kind exist, Demagogues will survive. Emotions and Passions will run the roost!!
For those who will not be stirred by these emotions, just watch this Tamasha!!!
Long Live Demogogues!! Long Live Democracy!!
