Elections are good

So the 'shoe' hit bull's eye though it missed the Home Minister. Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar have been dropped as election candidates in Lok Sabha elections this time. These two had won with thumping majority in last election and were 'winnable' candidate this time but exoneration by CBI came at a 'wrong' time not only for Mr. Tytler but also Mr. Kumar. I am saying 'wrong' because Sajjan Kumar has been acquitted long ago without any reasonable hue and cry to be heard by our media. But this time due to elections round the corner and also Congress government in power, Akalis got a pleasant surprise. It may have been political expediency on part of Akalis but it should be welcomed. Though i cannot point finger at these two as they have been acquitted from court but there is something 'fishy' about them as large number of people are against them, most of whom are riot victims.

This is the power of vote because Congress can't afford to bear the brunt of Sikh anger in Punjab poll. Well, what would happen to Mr. Modi or Mr. Advani if Muslims start voting for the BJP?
