“Gujarat Model” is the mantra on every BJP lip as the party begins its quest for the mandate of the masses in Karnataka. Obviously, the three-tier plank of “sushasan (governance), vikas (development) and surakasha (security)” is what the party means by “Gujarat Model”.
Which is all very well. But a not insignificant part in Narendra Modi‘s thumping return to power last December was played by the mask that his supporters adorned. Result: whichever way they turned, Gujarat voters encountered the smiling visage of their chief minister.
In contrast, the BJP in Karnataka has a small problem, with B.S. Yediyurappa‘s permanent scowl rendering him him not very photogenic. Which of the eight pictures (above), or from the three pictures (below), could/should the BJP image-managers pick to help Yedi “Modify” for the purposes of a mask?
And which of these pictures could help him take oath?
Photographs: Karnataka Photo News
Also see: Is it an idol? Is it a statue? Is it a mannequin?
Yed may not be photogenic, but he sure is pathogenic.
After Indian cricket team lost to South Africa shamefully, how can we vote for BJP!?
Yedi cannot hope to win on the basis of the cult of the personality. He is no Modi and the sooner he realizes it, the better for the BJP.
Let me number the pictures first.
Top row 1,2,3 and 4,
Bottom row 5,6,7,and 8.
Run up to the election with speeches and PR – 6,7 and 8
As voting takes place – 2
As counting of votes goes on – 1 and 3
As the results start coming in – 4 and 5.
hahah! pulikeshi, you rock dude.
Thanks, MB. I am following in the footsteps of the masters who take delight in rhyming “Yeddi” with “Cheddi,” crude though they are. Why they should obsess over the pelvic region of RSSwallas is beyond me. I think our unparallelled defamer Lankesh started the trend. Nobody ever had the courage to call him “Mankesh” or something like that, at least while he was living.
