Exposing Kejriwal, praising Modi




Friends, Delhiites, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to expose Arvind Kejriwal, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them; even a principled resignation
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Arvind.
The noble Modi hath told you Arvind was a Bhagoda
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And what is Bhagoda? Leaving an appointed position to the detriment of the people you were serving
And Modi has never done such a dishonorable thing
Not even when he ran away from the CMs post of Gujarat, to further his ambition
Or the MP election that he won in Vadodara, forcing another election expense 
Or BJP choosing not to form a government in Delhi despite the max MPs
That is not being a Bhagoda, but Arvind leaving after a good try is. Wow.

For Modi is an honorable man;
So are they all, all honorable men in BJP
Come I to speak on Arvind's next elections
He is no friend of mine; I don't know him
But Modi says he is ambitious;
And Modi is an honorable man.
As ambitious as deciding to fight from Varanasi seat, when Ghaziabad would surely have see him win
Did this in Arvind seem ambitious?
A diabetic went on 15 day fast, endangering his life many days
Slept on streets of Delhi in 4 degree centigrade
When that the poor have cried, Arvind hath wept
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Modi says he was ambitious; And Modi is an honourable man

I speak not to disprove what Modi spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love Arvind once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to doubt him now?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is with the muffler and the cough,
And I must pause till it come back to me.

O masters, if I were disposed to stir
Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage,
Mutiny against removing secularism from India's constitution
Rage against appointing rapists as cabinet ministers, for women safety, I suppose
Mutiny against Muzaffarnagar type politics
Rage against giving Obama a chance to remind us of Article 25 of our own constitution
Mutiny against a SIT for the Sikh genocide in 84, not announced, just cunningly  deviously leaked ahead of polls

Mutiny against placing Ambani and Adani over  starving MNREGA labour, denied funds for 7 months now
Mutiny over attacking someone's गोत्र . Gawd, where are we headed?
Rage against placing photo-op session opportunities over grassroot level changes in public healthcare, education and corruption
Mutiny against the view that those who are not Ramzadaas are Haramzadaas
Rage against having us vote without giving us a commitment of manifesto
Just asking us to sign a blank cheque, so he may write what he wants on it, later
Rage against being placed under a CM who was not even a party member 30 days back
And now gagged; will she speak after 10 Feb?
Or will Hema Malini, CMs of state and PM of India come to rule Delhi

You are not wood, you are not stones, but thinking men and women;
And, being men and women, bearing the legacy of Arvind,
It will inflame you, it will make you mad:
Will you be patient? Will you stay awhile? Have a coffee, please
I have overshot myself to tell you of it:

Kind souls, what, weep you when you but behold
Our Arvind's vesture wounded? Look you here,
Here is himself, marred, as you see, with traitors.
Good friends, sweet friends, let me not stir you up
To such a sudden flood of mutiny.
They that have done this deed are honorable:

Yet hear me, countrymen; yet hear me speak.
Here is an Arvind! When comes such another?
Now let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot,

Take thou what course thou wilt!
