If many of our politicians begin their cheery march to power with a lie (or ten) about their financial, educational, criminal and other backgrounds, many of them also begin by unwittingly breaking the law. Here, H.N. Ananth Kumar, the BJP’s candidate for Bangalore South, takes off on his Honda Activa Dio™ without a helmet on Wednesday, with the party’s latest recruit D.B. Chandre Gowda riding pillion, and other equally helmet-less followers following suit. It’s a photo-op, of course, but one rule for ’em, another for us?
* Similar caveats would, of course, be applicable to members of the Congress party, CPI(M), CPI, JDS, RJD, SP, Vatal Paksha…

I think you got it a little bit wrong :) Such leaders don’t wear helmet to help us build a better tomorrow. If these people weren’t leaders, police men would have made a good amount of money today!

Helmets are for those who have head… Those who don’t have one are given an exception…

I will bet anything, Churmuri will not dare take a similar photo on Bakr-id when followers of ROP wantonly violate traffic rules riding threesome on bikes with only fez caps to protect their heads.
As some one mentioned above, only people with heads need helmets.

Also I feel they are riding on wrong side of the road, but not sure (assuming its a wide road and has a divider, they should be on the other side of divider for the direction they are heading)

The caveat is not applicable to Vatal Paksha. Karnataka’s Thiruka aka Vatal Nagraj likes riding on animals, especially donkeys.

If he wears an helmet, he loses out on a photo-op! So, you can safely say “Rules can be bent if there is a photo-op”!

How does you want him to campaign? You want him to wear an helmet cover his face and campaign.? Why do you always trying corner BJP. They are the only nationalist party in the country. Try to respect them. If BJP loses this elections and as you hope Congress + BSP + Left forming the government. And imagine what are consequences we as a nation is going to face. Be Broad in your thinking my dear media.

Hi All,
It is sad to see the comments most of you have posted getting influenced by the subject of the blog. We wear helmet for safety. It’s better to take precautions as the aid might be several hours late in case of mishaps. Though, i completely agree that our leaders are not following what they preach or implement, we should realize that they are moving with more safety and security than aam admi. We cannot see and treat everything as black and white. It’s easy to point finger at any one but how many of us follow the Helmet rule when you move in and around your own area within a span of few KM from your house? The leaders, irrespective of any party are there for bigger cause than to focus on this small issues. Come-on guys think positive to solve issues and help others than cribbing and gossiping on this irrelevant, unimportant and small issues like this.
