Election Bells ringing post 26/11 as Advani chose Aaj Tak
It is first day of the Lok Sabha winter session. All ‘Soap Opera News Channels’ were busy showing live feeds from DD Lok Sabha (thank god their actors are not eligible to access our parliament area!).
Hindi Jokers were completely out of proportion while delivering the reports from parliament’s winter session. Most of their actors were finding it very difficult to co-op with such serious discussions because they haven’t done that before.
Opposition leader LK Advani acted smart enough to gather as much votes as he can from the viewers as if India was voting live by sms for next PM. There were other players too but their agendas were not hidden as of Mr. Advani’s. Saffron Brigade’s hidden commander was choosing every word very carefully. It was once in a life time opportunity for him to pose himself as next PM candidate just few months ahead of General Elections.
What was he talking about apart from what he actually meant? Of course he was talking about Mumbai Terror Strikes and how dreadful act it was and how all political parties must join hands to curb out terrorism. But suddenly he mentioned something very strange which no one has done before in the history of Indian Parliament. He mentioned about some program he was watching last night on one of the ‘leading Hindi News Channel’ and he really liked that program the way channel portrayed an average Indian post 26/11. No wonder it was indeed a declaration by the Bhartiya janata Party’s leader that from now on that particular channel will be Saffron Brigade’s official mouth piecee.
It took me less that one minute to find out which channel it was. ‘Aaj Tak’, was going ga ga over Advani’s remarks in the parliament in the morning and they were repeatedly showing his full address to the parliament apart from highlights of the program Advani mentioned. They were still doing the same thing while this post was being written.
