Supposed Security Breach by Rahul Gandhi

Supposed Security Breach by Rahul Gandhi

TV screens have been splashing the news about the "Surprise visit" to UP by Mr. Rahul Gandhi. Apparently, Ms. Mayawati has objections to this "Security Breach" as the state government was not duly informed in advance about the same. And, the Congress spokespersons claim that all this "cribbing" by Ms. Mayawati is nothing but an expression of her insecurity over Rahul's growing popularity.

Disclaimer: I'm no fan of Ms. Mayawati. In fact, a bit to the contrary!!!

Nevertheless, we should have the courage of conviction to call a spade a spade.

A simple question:

• Hypothetically speaking, forget about a "Sriperumpudur, 1991" scenario - even if a simple "Black flag" demonstration accompanied by a couple of "rotten tomato throwing" incident had taken place, imagine the furore.

The entire Congress folks (duly accompanied by all our shrill news channels) would have shouted from the rooftops about the lack of security in UP. And the need to throw out the "incompetent" Ms. Mayawati's government and impose President's rule!!!

Hypocrisy, thou art well-represented by the Indian Political Class!!!
