i saw this issue actually being discussed in a national news channel today. the debate was on karnataka state election, and india’s two major political parties (BJP n Congress) aptly represented by two of their senior party members were explaining their stand on issues concerning the state.
while the debate was hotting up with illogical allegations and counter-allegations (which you normally associate with our political parties), bang came an allegation from the congress party member that BJB has no right to talk about price rise, since it was during the BJB rule (for 7 days) in the state, bicycle prices were increased by Rs. 300. this was unacceptable to congress party because, they felt the price rise of bicycle will deter many kids from buying it and hence will affect their education, since they can not go to school. hmmmmmm……does it sound funny enough to you ?
well wait then. because i am going to bring in the issue of terrorism here. recently we have seen terrorists using bicycle as weapons in their heinous act. as we know in the jaipur blast terrorists have used 10 bicycles which they had bought new from stores in the city. you might be thinking what has this issue of terrorism has got to do with the above discussion on TV. but think again. its BICYCLE. i bet you got it.
so what do you think now ? i am sure you can’t stop but applaud the then BJP govt in the state for their farsightedness. i mean they did increase the price of the bicycle to make it less accessible to the terrorists or at least to make sure that the cost of a bomb blast in india does not come cheap.
hail/ hell……….politicians of india.
