Before I begin with anything else, contrary to what you might have judged when you read the title, this post not only talks about the hypocrisy of Indian politicians but am also critical of a major segment of people who manifest the same sense of hypocrisy.
The PM oath ceremony is going to be held in less than 2 days from now. This time a whole lot of leaders from neighboring countries have been invited and many have confirmed their esteemed presence. The eyes of the world will be on India when the world's largest democracy's most popular leader swears in as the PM. Then as the cameras pan out on to the various distinguished guests, at one point a certain Mr. Salman Khan waives at the camera. Wait a minute! Salman Khan, the Bollywood superstar, isn't he the guy accused in the Hit and Run case, poaching of a Black Buck, remarks on 26/11 stating that Pakistan must not be blamed for the attack instead Indian Forces failed to act swiftly.
What message does the common man watching this on T.V. infers from it. The message is loud and clear - "Money power is above the law, ethics, and principles." A fundamental question that arises is what is the credibility of tall promises made by Narendra Modi that under his leadership even the poorest of the poor will get justice when under his nose people with massive corruption charges like Yeddyurappa, Gadkari and numerous others are in race for being a Cabinet Minister. But we should not raise our voice on such issues as if we do, we alienate ourselves from the mainstream people and land up in Tihar jail.
In recent times Kejriwal- The lone crusader of the IAC since Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi, Gen. V.K. Singh all have joined hands with parties they criticized at one point of time and have started criticizing Kejriwal. But it's not these hypocrites who are ever criticized or subjected to dirty gimmicks by the media. Court has sent Kejriwal to Tihar jail on account of not paying the bail amount but there is no question on why has there been zilch progress in complaint against Gadkari. And people blindly read there newspapers in the morning with headline - "Street Drama of Kejriwal begins".

Had Kejriwal wanted to win a LS seat he could have easily chosen some safe constituency but he chose Varanasi after Modi declared he would contest from there. Infact after Kejriwal announced that he will contest from Varanasi against Modi, the latter also filled nomination for a Gujrat seat too knowing well he will have to step down if he won from both and do injustice with people but he could not leave his becoming MP in peril.
The best part, people all over India criticize Kejriwal as if they know him inside out. Kejriwal due to strong projection by media as an anarchist fool has become the target of ire of every individual and personally I congratulate BJP,Congress and all other parties on their strategy to defame Kejriwal in which they have been highly successful.
IT TOOK 90 MORE YEARS TO GAIN INDEPENDENCE AFTER REVOLT OF 1857, IF PEOPLE LOOSE FAITH IN 'AAP' IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER 100 YEARS FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN.
So, I urge all citizens of India to atleast do some research before forming your opinion and not follow media projection blindly.
