Except for the debate needed on article
370 ,which Narendra Modi stated in his Jammu rally,the other rallies of all
parties have yielded nothing of creative
or constructive note.Rhetorics apart no concrete ideas have come forth in any
of the speeched which I was fortunate enough to hear.Allegations,counter
allegations,charcter assisnation have been the themes of the political
rallies.The mantra was populism,wrongdoings of others and blah blah…
Even in TV debate the focus was on
charcter assisnation .The Anchors now a days are smart enough to signal which
sound byte is to be muted.The core issues lost in mud slinging mathes and
ofcourse rabblle rousing.Candidly the level of debates specially on Hindi
channels left a bad taste.Anchors has resorted to cardinal sins of interviewing
like shouting ,interrupting ,asking longer questions than the answers,wasting
too much to extract an answer which they think proper.Nothing constructive and
no further insights on issue were coming.Though some anchors tried to extract something meanigful.May be their
attempts will bear fruit with less commercial breaks.
The “Bhasa Shaili” and choice of
words of the speeches leaves many pen-dumbfounded.
None can deny the fact that these
elections are gateway of 2014 general elections ,the results of which today seems
to be like hornest nest and political nightmare in which allignments ,re
allignments, breaking of typecast and much will happen.But none can also deny
the fact that the level of rhetoric,allegations have been unprecetendent.Even setting
aside what Media coverages do to our tounges ,the built up to 2013 has been
only rabble rousing with no concrete .
Fear of the shrill remains till
2014 and thenafter heart falls ,heart
breaks, divorces,re marriages,new live in says बतख
