Whose ammo is more lethal?

Use of filthy words are raising the temperature of election climate 

In the run up of ensuing election campaigns the Congress and BJP are exchanging filthy and acrimonious words to make attacks sharper on opponents. Along with major national parties, smaller parties are also targeting opposition of their respective states. Verbal feud among the parties is bound to go sharper as the general election of parliament comes closer. 

It seems that the BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is more rhetorical than Rahul. Modi is making good use of his Hindi vocabulary to target the Congress Vice president Rahul Gandhi. After transfer of reign from Sonia to Rahul in Jaipur Chintan Sivir, Rahul is virtually leading the Congress campaign and strategy teams to dethrone BJP governments from M.P and Chattisgarh along with retaining the Congress governments of Delhi and Rajesthan.

To me, Rahul campaigning strategy is lagging in many fronts. His team is not making proper preparations for the rallies which have to be addressed by Rahul for getting crucial supports of voters for Congress candidates. Lacks of knowledge to local issues defocus the attention to audiences which were normally managed by local unit of Congress party. He repeats his speech on the same pattern for the last three to four years. In fact one of critics in his article in a well known English pink paper pointed out elaborately the pattern of Rahul’s speech being delivered for the last four years. Some of his immediate family’s sacrifice tales and details of vote catching schemes of Congress government at centre along with some attack on opponents especially the BJP on the communal line. In zest it was the total theme of speech of Rahul till few weeks back. However after lot of criticism and introspection by the team of top office bearers of Congress Rahul has changed his pattern of speech. Now neither he attacks on Narendra Modi directly nor taking the BJP on communal lines. Instead of wooing voters on old line he now attracts voters by highlighting the grand schemes of UPA government.

In my view, speeches written on old pattern mentioned above were useful ten years back not in India of present time. Today youths are more educated, who have no first hand empirical experience of legacy of Gandh-Nehru family. They have not experienced the pain of present generation Gandhi-Nehru family whose two prominent members had sacrificed their life in the service of Nation. Although present generation of youth has read about Gandhi Nehru dynasty in books but he also has first hand experience of pain for  martyred soldiers who had laid down their lives while fighting terrorists at borders or at home land. I think this is one of the reason why present generation youths are not impressed with stories of sacrifice of Gandhi-Nehru family.

While on the other hand Narendra Modi has become a fixing agent for BJP which was seen as a divided house just a few months back. Although Modi has made blunders especially with the historical facts in his speech, even then he is attracting more audiences and youths in his mega rallies. That is why, the Congress which initially ignored Modi has started seeing Modi as a challenge. Many of Congress cabinet ministers acknowledge privately the power of management of Modi and his oratory skills.

Not speaking on the current burning issues so frequently with the media and common people by its top leadership is the root cause of problems faced by the Congress, feel many political pandits.

To add more bitterness in the coming election scenario, verbal war between two estrange allies of NDA is also escalating day by day. In my view war of BJP and JD(u) is more of ego than of ideologies. Egos of Nitish and that of Narendra Modi along with BJP leaders of Bihar has grown up so large that a fight is eminent and which will find new high dimension in coming days.
The parties are busy in mud-slinging on opponents but ironically the smart public has already made its mind in favour of some party to vote.
