The keenly fought Delhi Assembly Polls are proving to be the Bigg Boss of elections with each party stooping lower to conquer. Just a few weeks back, Kiran Bedi, BJP’s brahmastra against Aam Admi in muffler, anointed Modi as the most beautiful face and leaving Amit Shah heartbroken.
Ironically, gushing about your leader’s beauty is far from a foolproof way of towing away your electorate’s heart, especially when it belongs to form

He said “If Shazia had been made their C.M. candidate BJP wud(sic) have definitely won the Delhi elections. People vote for beautiful faces, as in Croatia. Even a person like me who does not vote wud(sic) have voted for Shazia.”
He further added that almost all Indian politicians are rogues and scoundrels, so, it makes more sense to elect a beautiful face to betray the electorate’s trust.
This is yet another milestone moment for women who are solely judged on the basis of their looks, irrespective of their achievements and the accolades they win. This comes as a great relief to the Australian journalist who in writing the obituary for the bestselling author (and neurophysiologist) Colleen McCullough, chose to focus on her lack of looks and ample weight and how she, despite these shortcomings, managed to attract men.
It’s hoped that Katju’s counsel will have many takers since “90% of Indians are idiots” (and most of them in Delhi).
Interestingly, much before Katju came up with this well-meaning advice, Indian voters elected the ‘most beautiful face according to Kiran Bedi’ to show them achhe din.
This development brings unexpected joy to beauty contestants who are mostly unemployed even after winning beauty pageants.
Since we are not only pathetic but have telepathic powers as well, it’s safe to call ourselves a telepathetic nation.
It is learnt from reliable sources that Congress, the nation’s most hopeless party, has approached Sunny Leone to lead them to victory ‘under her able guidance’ and make them rise to the occasion.
Unfortunately, great thought leaders are mostly misunderstood and jeered by lesser mortals. This time was no different with Katju being slammed as too sexist even for an Indian male his age. Justice Katju begged to differ and claimed he was just a lover of ‘phools’ who was simply admiring beautiful flowers from a distance and not plucking them.
It may be noted, this is not the first time Katju has been slammed for his unconventional views. He had on previous occasions decreed that ‘women who remain single are prone to have psychological problems’. He had also said that gay relationships and gay marriages were "all humbug and nonsense".
With great age comes the license to say outrageous things and passing it off as senility.
Thanks to his fabulous sense of humour, Justice Katju is now being hailed as the Chief Jester of India. In his new role as CJI – Shri Katju extolled Indians to develop a sense of humour and not take any of his statements seriously. In fact they should add a dollop of chaat masala and a generous squirt of lemon and go haha and not gaga over them.
Many regard this is as a populist gesture by Markandya Katju to endear himself to the masses by becoming as idiotic as them
Meanwhile, Mr Kejriwal leader of AAP who is seen as a strong contender for the CM’s post has tweeted that he’ll stage a dharna outside Shahnaz Hussain’s salon and demand fair and lovely potions for all Delhizens. Once cured of unfairness they will surely vote for the most deserving candidates.
Lol....fair vote for lovely faces...
ReplyDeleteKatju needs to develop his sense of humor....you are the best person to teach him.....
And be labelled as an idiot? No thank you.
DeleteLol....fair vote for lovely faces...
ReplyDeleteKatju needs to develop his sense of humor....you are the best person to teach him.....
Mr.Katju's latest comment on not giving the post of Judge to someone who is in a live-in relationship itself makes you want to consider the way of appointment of our esteemed judges. The collegium method is bullshit it feels.
ReplyDeleteOnly you could come out with a post this good.
Esteemed Mr Katju is simply behaving like the 90% men who think a woman's primary role is to marry and procreate.
DeleteKatju for sure has a sense of humour.....Lop sided ,though
ReplyDeleteIt's just that he doesn't know it yet.
DeleteAnother pearl of wisdom from an important personality-we need to make an anthology of these priceless quotes.
ReplyDeleteKatju jokes will easily outsell any Chetan Bhagat book.
Delete“90% of Indians are idiots” ???????
ReplyDeleteWhich side is he on?
With the majority.
DeleteHe is just giving proof in support of his theory that 90% of Indians are stupid! He is one of them
ReplyDeleteHe just doesn't know it yet.
DeleteMy comment is missing!!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the man is an habitual offender when it comes to controversial comments. His brand of humor does not go down well with 90% fools.
So sorry about that! Somebody else complained too.
DeleteIf he has his way soon the election results will be decided on cat walk....... Long live LookOcracy ... Rest in peace Democracy
ReplyDeleteHahaha..with him as the judge!
DeleteHilarious - 'Sunny Leone to lead them to victory under her able guidance'. It is interesting to note that women are still measured in terms of their looks rather than talent. Ironically, Khushwant Singh too had made somewhat similar comparisons, between Indira Gandhi and Maharani Gayatri Devi, something like this, “Indira could not stomach a woman more good-looking than herself and insulted her in Parliament, calling her a ....and a....doll"
ReplyDeleteAnita Desai
It's pretty clear, a woman who's not attractive has no business doing well in life.
DeleteAbsolutely ridiculous! There's a petition doing the rounds against this. Hope you've signed it.

Problem is most of the political parties have seriously contrived mandates and the aam junta is too busy to be interested in what hogwash the netas are doling out in their political bhaashans......
ReplyDeleteThe Aam Janta wants a corruption free administration and a government that looks out for their interests.
DeleteMay the best face that can deliver win! Best faces do manage to be subject of discussion and be in news not to to mention in Madame Tussaud;s wax museums:)
ReplyDeleteThankfully, Katju Jee will never be in running for any public post thanks to his looks.
DeleteA magic wand is what we need. The campaigning this time indeed crossed all barriers. Shameless bunch we have as politicians.
ReplyDeleteI am so bored of the mud-slinging, constant propaganda and counter allegations.
DeleteWhat will happen to Kumar Vishwas ...who will hear him now . Even Kejri baba is at Shahnaz's dwar .Amchi Desh is going to the dogs . Shiela ki jawani will be our national anthem. You may never know someday when we wake up from sleep we all are in remote siberia clueless what had happened to our nation the night before.
ReplyDeleteWe will continue the way we always have - Bhagwan bharose.
DeleteOur politicians and leaders certainly seem to be vying as to who can make the stupidest comments!!
ReplyDeleteYet they position themselves as upholders of morality!
DeleteNice covered Purba. May the best candidate win Delhi elections, who think for people and do something.
ReplyDeleteIt seems Delhi opted for AAP.
DeleteHahaha! Why don't we give an old man the liberty to go gaga over beauty? Lovely post, Purba!
ReplyDeleteOf course, only if he accepts he's as stupid as us!
DeleteSuddenly there is a new found meaning for the term 'Fair and Lovely' in Indian politics :D
ReplyDeleteThey need it the most.
DeleteChief Jester should endorse the new lovely products. His comments are uncalled..haha..I'll call it his 'second hand Jawaani:)
