Superstitions and politics are like two inseparable entities. ... Like blood flowing in the veins.
There is always some undercurrent of superstitions in the politicians mind and their actions especially during election time.
One is witness to their visits at temples and other holy places to seek blessings of the gurus and divine powers,deities etc.
But some of the strange superstitious practices make one laugh.
There is election time in the State of U. P these days.
And there was interesting news about some candidates. I burst into laughter on reading this.
For example, there is one candidate who believes that getting a good beating from his teacher (of school days) brings him good luck and he always wins.
So during election time his teacher is especially invited to give this candidate a thorough beating !
All this for good luck ! :))
Another candidate believes that unless and until someone doesn't wake him up in the morning by addressing him by his nickname, he shouldn't get up because he might not win in that case.
So every morning his mother wakes him up by calling him by his nickname ! :))
There is another candidate who has been wearing green kurta /long shirt always for the last 8 years ! He says it brings him good luck .
The hunger for power makes people do crazy, weird things. And to watch the politicians indulge in funny exchange of allegations against opposition parties using such terminology like " adopted son of the soil" , donkey, elephants etc is better than watching any comedy show. :))
Indeed the public is kept entertained thoroughly by the leaders . Public doesn't even know they are being stripped naked by the leaders' policies and oblivious to everything, they clap and vote for these leaders .
Isn't it a wonderful comedy show ?
