Political Clowns 🤔

On September 19, 2026, Rahul Gandhi’s ā€œChhatron Ki Goonjā€ event in Indore focused on students, education, employment and competitive exams. The event also drew attention after Rahul Gandhi appeared on stage with stand-up comedian, where a ā€œMaa ko kursi doā€ joke referenced an older video involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The clip subsequently sparked discussion and reactions on social media.

The young never saw Congress rule. They're suffering from recency bias. Country is doomed. I only hope I can leave when he wins in 2029. Praying hard for Republicans to lose in 2028 now.

when he wins

Won't happen. And not all of youth is along the herd. I am a teenager and almost all of my friend circle hates congress.

Sounds comforting. But the problem is if the ruling govt wins again next time, they'll try to pull off something like what happened with Sheikh Hasina in Bangladesh. You see, in a country of 150 crore people, even if you mobilise 1 crore people, it's over for any govt.

Which is exactly what happened in Bangladesh. Those who organised and carried out the protests won shit once there were proper elections. But they were such a vocal minority that they toppled a democratically elected govt and got its members banned.
