The denigration which started with Congress high command’s ‘œMaut ka Saudagar’ jibe has spread too far now.
The business of political rhetoric is witnessing a new low every day. The denigration which started with Congress high command’s “Maut ka Saudagar” jibe has spread too far now. This election season, ‘jibe-business’ in Indian politics has put the humanity to shame.
Here are eight worst jibes of Lok Sabha election 2014:
- “Even a prostitute does something better than such a politician.” – Congress’ Pappu Yadav on LJP’s Ram Vilas Paswan in his Hajipur rally.
- “Take possession of Muslim houses, evict them forcefully, put a Bajrang Dal board.” – Praveen Togadia in Bhavnagar to his followers.
- “He goes to Dalits’ house for honeymoon and picnic. Had he married a Dalit girl, then his luck could have clicked and he would have become the prime minister.” – Baba Ramdev on Rahul Gandhi at Lucknow.
- “After drenching Gujarat in a river of blood, does he want to drench Bengal in an ocean of blood…I challenge Modi. If after May 16 even if one Bangladeshi is sent out of Pashchim Bongo, not one BJP supporter will be left in Pashcim Pongo.” – TMC’s Kalyan Banerjee on Modi
- “Main Modi ki boti boti kaat dunga” – Congress candidate Imran Masood on Narendra Modi
- “He is neither man nor woman.” – Azam Khan on Baba Ramdev.
- “Mai use kunwari kahun, srimati kahun, ya behen kahun (should I term her (Mayawati) Miss, Mrs or sister.” – Mulayam Singh Yadav on Mayawati.
- “Those who vote for Modi should jump into the sea…” – Union minister Farooq Abdullah
The level of political discourse has gone to drains with ascendance of those who do not know ‘P’ of politics and the enthusiasm of seasoned politicians with the knowledge of defeat are now killing it.
