Lets take BJP to ground zero

Let us start off by playing a game this election season. For years we have been voting for corrupt netas, sons and daughters of netas, illiterate wives of netas and so far have only abstained from voting for the dog of the neta.

To all you Bharatiya Janata Party supporters out there, I hereby present a game that you could play this assembly elections in Maharashtra.

It is called 'choose the funniest symbol' contest.

Please go to your voting booth, take time in looking at the symbols of all the sundry independent candidates and you will find among them funny ones like brinjals, carrots, donkeys, cows and an assortment to raise a few laughs.

Choose the one that you found the funniest, press the EVM, get your finger inked and walk out feeling proud of yourself as BJP supporters.

Let all of us pledge to reduce the BJP to nought in the state. Let us reduce it to dust so that someone sane comes around and rebuilds it into the party it should have been or it had promised to be.

The BJP today is a party of leaders who in order to further their own dynastic aspirations think nothing of destroying the party if the cannibalization would help.

Gopinath Munde, that creation of Pramod Mahajan, has ensured that Pramod Mahajan's daughter Poonam gets a ticket from the Ghatkopar east seat. The trade off was Guhagar which since 1972 was the BJP's safest seat. Dr Vinay Natu, the five time MLA from there can go take a walk, said the BJP's dynasty setters. So what if the party workers revolt, the party isn't as big as ensuring that one's own kin get tickets from safe seats, seats made safe by the toil and sweat of thousands of workers.

Then Munde manages to get his daughter Pankaja a ticket from Parli. His nephew Dhananjay can also take a walk because a daughter is a daughter and a nephew, excuse me, is not a son.

So let us all as friends of the BJP go out in droves, play 'choose the funny symbol' contest at the polling booths on October 13 and hand the BJP the worst defeat it has ever seen.

Let 2009 Maharashtra be so severe that Lok Sabha 2009 can be conveniently forgotten by the saffron party.

Let us help make a new BJP, The one where workers still become chief ministers, like Narendra Modi, and where sons and daughters get tickets only if they deserve them. And from seats they are capable of wresting from the opposition, not safe seats.

Let us tear apart the BJP to shreds.
Join in.
