Mani Shankar Aiyer<\/a><\/strong> did vis-a-vis Savarkar is idiocy. There are more pressing matters than the plaque of a man dead for half a century.<\/p>\n There are a people dying due to floods, famine and governmental fuck ups. Please get our roads and our infrastructure in place. Make sure that our farmers have relief and don’t commit suicide in droves. Make sure that our educational system is cleaned up without Arjun Singh replacing one idiotic dogma with another.<\/p>\n
Also the Sangh Parivar is recovering from its shell shocked state because this kind of stupidity is giving them a reason to be. The best way to kill them is not by giving them these kind of issues to fight on, but providing governance to the nation and various states so that you are voted back. Please, don’t polarise this country even more. Your party and alliance was voted in because you will provide a different sort of administration – one with a human face. Pray, tell me – what is so human about this face?<\/p>\n
One final suggestion. maybe you need to patch up with the Samajwadi party. The insult to you after the famous “we have 272” has been repaid in full measure. Their support will ease the passage of many required bills, and reduce the over reliance on either the Communists or the RJD.
\nMaybe, it is time that you listened to your inner voice again<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
