Mauka for the Bihar Voter

Indrajit Hazra / ET
Amit Shah has made a cracking attempt to turn the Bihar elections into a patriotism test. According to the venerable BJP president, if the party loses the polls “by mistake” – making a loss sound like walking into the ladies’ loo – crackers will be burst in Pakistan in riotous celebration. Perhaps, in South Waziristan, upon hearing the news of the victory of the Nitish Kumar-Lalu Yadav jirga, men will take out their Kalashnikovs and start firing them into the air from their rooftops – knocking out a few Pakistani-American drones in the process.

The question now before many Nitish-Lalu supporters before they vote in the last two remaining phases of polling in Bihar is: So shall we move to Pakistan to celebrate a possible Mahagathbandhan victory? Or can we jolly well blow up a ton-load of pataake to celebrate right here in Bihar-India? Who knows? On November 8, they may get a mauka, mauka to test this fascinating Amit Shah-Devakanta Barua-Giriraj Singh theory of patriotism. more
