Bad Doggie

When two socialists meet, they go about sniffing each others' posteriors like dogs do. If your backside doesn't smell like Congress (basically a putrid and potent mix of things like reservation, secularism, subsidies, dharnas, bandhs and wholesale corruption and sycophancy), you have no chance, even before you had the time to bark or bite.

Apparently, a few ex-IITians have started a new political party, called The Bharat Punarnirman Dal (BPD). This is the second such venture by alumni of that venerated institute after Lokparitran.

Very few details are available about this party or their ideology. This is what they officially said so far:

Says BPD spokesperson , Ravi Kishore, "The time has come when we stopped talking and instead start acting. We are creating a platform for people who want to make a change now and we have come here to deliver that change."

These young men don't have a fixed ideology, money or cadre to call their own.

But this is enough of a red flag for the socialists. Congress can accept the scum of the earth like Laloo, Mulayam Singh Yadav and Shibu Soren. They can even take in members who do not even have an Indian citizenship (not talking about Sonia Gandhi). But they will never accept anything however small or insignificant that has the remotest chance of challenging the hegemony of arguably one of the most corrupt political establishment on this earth.

Why, you ask? Don't these people have a right to start a political party? Apparently not. The socialists already know. Perhaps they could do some good? Not a chance. Krish seemed to have a lot of fun in dissecting this political party. He even assigns real numbers:

I can confidently say that 90% of all IITians are opposed to reservations to fix social inequalities.

Perhaps he is forgetting, at least 27.5% of all IITians firmly root for reservations. This number will soon become 49.5%. He even has some words of advice for IITians. This is deep rooted in the socialistic psyche. A man can not and must not think for himself.

Frankly speaking, I have no opinion on this matter. I was also a bit surprised at the venomous tone of the socialist bloggers. Then it dawned on me, perhaps it has something to do with this.

Actually they may be right. In the poisonous environment of Indian politics, a normal person does not have a chance. Unless you are a thug or a rapist or a murderer or a smuggler.
