Indian Politicians and their gimmicks
Political cartoons are really hilarious and need a lot of imagination to sketch them funny and bring out the right message. Indian Cartoonist do a good job in this area.
I love cartoons, especially the political ones. There is no dearth of cartoonists in India who work for many news papers and magazines. Since politician's exposure to the public life is inevitable, even if they make a mistake without any meaning or any ulterior motive, it will get blown up. So are their carping comments and gaffes they make often out of fatigue. Being a politician is a tough job as the atmosphere is rife with rumors competition, revenge and remarks. Bad forces are acting against them on all four fronts, including in their own parties within the closed circle.
Fighting the Goliath of Corruption:
Do you think it is easy to fight the Goliath of corruption and scams in government offices by being ordinary mortals? Nope, it is an impossible task. Being close to the coridor of power and pelf, they will come out of any misadventure nice and clean. We are no match for such Machiavellian politicians to whom integrity and honesty are anathema. We need the sevices of aliens from the Mars to do the job.

Politicians’ dual role:
One candidate has a booth capturing case against him, , another one for violating the election model code of conduct, and another is accused of criminal intimidation. Many candidates had criminal cases against them.
‘’Criminals and and some politicians are inseparable like, lightning and thunder, . they are a sort of political ‘’Arthanari’’, one half of them is bad, the othe half — the less said, the better. ’

Future virtual environment:
We are in the midst of serious Covid -19 pandemic that has already taken lots of lives world over. (In India, the total number cases of coronavirus cases is 31,332, and 1,008 people are dead so far). Air pollution is known to accelerate the spread of such dangerous virus. Our politicians across the globe talk a lot about global warming and rise of sea level and do not arrive at a consensus. If air pollution goes unchecked, by 2035, our posterity will see the trees only in huge cut-out posters.

Misleading political promises and false Media reports:
In Indian politics, when there is a general election to the parliament in Delhi or election to the State Assembly, every time the gullible electorates are made a sucker by the wily netas and fake media reports. With exceptions of good governance once in a while, the trend continues as many political heavy wights control the media and filter the daily news reports. Their gaffs and glaring mistakes go unreported. Crowd pulling is very important while on a campaign trail. They get the people truck loads by enticing them with money, liquor etc. Their stump speeches are full of false promises of various goodies for the people. But, once they are voted to power, their persona will change and are not accessable to people from their constituency.
ooo
Unstable coalition ministry:
When a new coalition government is formed either at the center or in the states by four different pillars — political parties with no proper ideology, there will be five different trouble makers preventing stability. They are like circus buffoons wielding slapstick and thrashing each other over pelf and power till the coalition ministry falls apart.
ooo
Political Yogasana:
When it comes to political campaign, no western politician can outdo Indian counter parts. On the campaign trail, our netas know where to bend his back and shake his body — a sort of Asana to cajole voters. If need be, they will prostrate right before the gullible voters as he would d do before a deity in a place of worship. His focus more on winning the seat than winning the trust of the people and improve their welath and health care. Once he won the seat, there is no way you could see him back in his constituency to attend to the peoples’ grievances’’.
ooo
Making a bundle:
Commonly, certain dishonest politicians are returning home with their loaded goodies after their specified term in the political office is over. ‘ While poor people are concerned about the next meal for their families , our netas are busy counting the boodle in the secret chamber in their home and are worried about their future generations and their capabilty to carry on their political legacy. In the 1950s and early 1960s, our political leaders retired from social service penniless; may be some hardly had Rs 5000 to Rs 10000 in the bank.In the olden days, their focus was more on the welfare of the people than on the commission and taking cuts’’ in govt.. contract work.

Why the UPA is surprised at finding too many cartoons on Nehru-Indira, in NCERT text books! Difficult to scan the cams. The schemers manage to go unpunished.

Supreme Court says PM is the highest authority and slams Karnataka govt for not listening to PM’s instruction to supply Cauvery water to TN. A puupet on the string!!
