A Person with a heart of Gold - Part 2

For sometime now, there has been a well coordinated effort by BJP IT cell, Dirty tricks department of BJP and large section of Media in discrediting and misquoting statements made by RG. To give the devil its due, this effort has been hugely successful.

Before going into details of who are those people, organisations, corporate entities involved in this unholy nexus. One should know and understand how this whole Propaganda machinery operates. First and foremost, requirement of huge cache of funds. This is easily managed as on today, RW has no budgetary constraints. They can hire people , pay them to write pigs are flying outside window, re-tweet million times and audience will lap it up. Examples of how this dirty machinery operates would be mentioned in detail below:-

1. Assam leader and Dog remark - In any party, be it regional or national, there would be contenders for post of leading the party at various levels. One such leader belonging to Assam wanted to be CM candidate. Fair enough. Anyone can want or expect and there is nothing wrong. This man who we will call as HS had a following in few areas of the state and had been harassing the central leadership to announce his name before the polls were due. In connection with that, he came to meet RG one fine day. He brought along a detailed plan on how he will strategise, his list of candidates and demands of them to be placed if they get elected. There was a open discussion wherein he put forth his view clearly and explained. RG in response mentioned how he wants the polls to be fought. HS agreed on the strategy. The disagreement happened with regard to the list of people he wanted to be given tickets. His list had names of many who were unprincipled, party hoppers, rogues, and unelectable. RG conveyed this in no uncertain terms and mentioned he doesnt wish to have any person who has a questionable character and values who do not conform to the party's standards. HS initially tried to argue and then realised it wont work. In between, hi-tea and snacks was served which HS partook with pleasure. After the minor break, HS adopted a different strategy. He would discuss other topics like climate change or environment and bring the discussion to Brahmputra and in the end request that he and his followers be given a chance. RG being a patient person was polite, dignified and civil despite being requested so many times. HS like a leech was not ready to let go. He went on and on and the repeated request soon turned into plain harassment. Meanwhile, little doggy came in and RG who was being harassed petted it . HS complimented the pet for its skin quality, tried to shake its paw and said it is a wonderful dog. The pet went away in few minutes and again the harassment i.e requests started. RG told him firmly, that the state committee will definitely look into merits of the candidates proposed and take a final call. Within few days, HS goes and meets BJP president who agrees to all his demands except CM post. Media goes to town with made up story of how a Leader was ignored in favour of the pet. The said leader was harassing for 1.5 hours while the pet came and went in 5/6 minutes flat. BJP Dirty tricks, allied media and trolls had a field day. On SM, Journos who were not present in the meeting wrote articles as if it was based on first hand experience. SM trolls tweeted and BJP big wigs re-tweeted. A blatant lie became truth in a matter of few days. It shows how politeness and being nice can be seen as weakness.

2. Potato processing Unit - A statement was made in context of providing jobs to people in factories and opening new factories. RW trolls caught one word " Aloo ki factory" and created memes and manipulated the speech as if just one word as mentioned in the entire speech. I challenge people to read or watch the entire speech. Context was unemployment and it was in relation to opening new factories. In a rural areas, people do not understand the word " Processing Unit" , it is simply mentioned as "factory" by the local people. Arm chair pundits and RW trolls got into the act and another every important statement on providing jobs to youth from rural areas was turned into a joke. Context was how to resolve unemployment and at same time ensure people do not migrate to cities. Open a potato processing unit in rural areas to provide livelihood and employment. This main theme was completely forgotten by media commentators, some liberals and RW when they talk about the speech. That unfortunately is the power of RW wherein they can set a narrative that too a fake one and make people believe it. Even today, moronic monkeys keep parroting the same without context.

3. 1984 - Riots took place after the killing of IG by her bodyguards. A malicious lie about statement made by Rajiv was put out by RW elements. Reality of what transpired can be read here.

However, as mentioned earlier, facts have never deterred the RW from their mission of maligning and spreading lies. They continue to do so on this topic forgetting that they had own govt from 1999-2004 and for last three years. How many Congress men did they convict if Cong men were involved? Why didnt Vajpayee earlier take action if Cong was involved? No one will reply to these questions because these people have one agenda. Indulge in propaganda, convert a lie into truth and take the nation back to stone age wherein women would be treated as an object.

4. Personal experience - Want to share my own personal experience with the way RW operates in India. First thing, a RW man does on seeing an independent woman able to stand her ground and counter his obsolete views is abuse and call her immoral characterless woman. Next, is to indulge in whataboutery. If you question why Muslim victims of 2002 still live in slums and kids play in gutter, you will asked, what about 1984? if you reply on it, next would be , what about Kashmiri pandits? , next would be , what about Aurangazeb, Aladdin Khilji? The whataboutery will never end and your important question related to sanitation and children would be forgotten. Another example on SM which has been quite famous (in) is to label every independent woman as a Muslim man or as Communist. For e.g, One fine day while discussing about Modi, A man with handle freethinkertush alleged I was a muslim man and created some fictitious name. Immediately, the same was picked by his followers and it spread. Not One person asked Tushar for evidence of his claim. Today, if I were to ask one pratik or mohit, who said am a Muslim man and demand evidence, he or she will say Jignesh, Jignesh will point at Divya, Divya will point to Tushar and Tushar back to Jignesh. It is a cycle. A group of brainless dodos playing this malicious game of propaganda.

Amazing isnt it? You are demanding proof on what basis you are addressed as a man and these morons will reply that you go ask so and so and this game of so and so will go on forever. Malicious lies, maligning character are practises followed by supporters of RW.

Basic idea followed by RW trolls is to pick one line out of a 30 or 40 minute speech, twist it , add few extra words and lo behold! an entire new narrative is created. Sometimes, they create a new sentence too but that is for another day.

Part 3 - Would look at belief system of RG, What are his priority areas, What kind of paradigm shift he wishes to see in India and , what are the hurdles being put forward in his path (internal & external) and how Congress can overcome and win in 2019.
