It is election time in Delhi and everyone across India is eagerly waiting to see what is going to happen. #AAP is batting and #BJP is bowling. It is last over and #AAP needs 36 runs to win, means a SIX off every ball. #BJP Captain Mr. Modi has introduced a new bowler Ms. Bedi to bowl the last over and #AAP Captain Mr. Kejriwal is on strike. Some cheerleaders are on the boundary doing their thing and their Leader Mr. Makan is trying very hard to grab the attention of spectators. But the match is in a very nail-biting stage and no one is paying any attention to them.
This Match of Democracy has got everyone hooked and all are waiting for final result. This brings in a lot of debates among everyone be it Friends/Foes, Relatives/Strangers. There is so much going on TV channels and the noise pollutions levels are at all time high in the country (No No, Mr. Goswami is not solely responsible for it).
This whole process has also roped in supporters from both sides fighting/debating/swearing each other on Social Media. I am sure the Candy Crush request is no longer as annoying as updates from people calling Kejriwal as Bhagoda, Bedi as Avsarwaadi and Modi as usual being brought into all this by comparing his Suit Prices and what not.
This all brings me to my story. I have had such encounters with a lot of people. People who read my blog are aware that I have been Modi supporter (not BJP) for Central Govt and AAP Supporter for Delhi. I have given my reasons in earlier posts and do not want to discuss it again. But let me clarify a little bit here. I do support AAP for Delhi but I never hid my dislike for Mr. Kejriwal. Even though I know If AAP wins then Mr. Kejriwal will be CM but it that bitter pill I guess I have no other choice but to swallow. My ideal situation is AAP wins with full majority But Kumar Vishwas is the Chief Minister. But being realistic I know that is not going to happen. Clarifying further that I know BJP is not best party and I never defend them.
So, the story goes like this that I find this
picture about AAP being circulated on Facebook about AAP being formed in November 2012 but its Twitter Account being created on July 2012, almost 5 months ago, when Mr. Kejriwal was openly saying we have no intentions of forming Political Party. The actual announcement of forming party was on October 02, 2012 (source wikipedia).
This shook me and was rattled by thinking that this was all a scam from start. So much of news was created to vote for the name of this new party and they took 1 month to come up with the name AAM AADMI PARTY. But it turns out that it was all planned from start. The whole India Against Corruption movement was used as platform to get into politics.
So, I posted this in one of the Whatsapp groups (had loads of Majority of AAP supporters) and I immediately started getting backlashes. It all started with one decent guy trying to explain but soon some guys instead of answering my question they started asking me questions like Where does the funding of BJP comes from? Modi could not be faithful to his wife, so how will he be faithful to country etc. I said I don't know and I agree that BJP is corrupt but that does not mean people cannot ask tough questions to self proclaimed Honest Party. On my answer people got agitated and said you should leave the group. And that was it for me. I believe we live in democracy and not Anarchy.
And this is not the only incident, I have debates with a lots of people about a lot of stuffs (I love debates as it gives you other people's perspective as well). And this has been trend, People will post negative about other Parties and the moment you show them the mirror by questioning their own reasons for supporting a specific party they start naming you things like Aandha Bhakt, AAPtard and what not.
So, here are a few final things I learned
1. The party which calls every one else corrupt without proofs should not be questioned as their words are enough.
2. The BJP has a lot of Criminal and Corrupt people but is AAP clean as they project themselves?
3. The moment you start questioning BJP they will term you AAPtard and reject you right away.
4. The moment you question AAP or whatever they say no matter how baseless the allegation is and they have no proof, you are Andha Bhakt.
Do we all not want the same thing... betterment of India? We may choose different paths but aren't all our goals same? Doesn't this kind of behaviour fall under Extremism, where the opponents are always wrong and only we are right? I believe we should be one side and that side is India team and not Modi team or Kejriwal team.
Please let me know what do you guys think or share your experiences with Hardcore supporters.
Jai Hind.
