Aap…eh who?


It’s been a year since I wrote last on aap…oh, no no, not on or about you, I meant the dead, yet un-dead party called AAP. I have not got a single answer the questions last year’s piece threw up – in fact, there are more questions added to the list over the last one year, but never mind because as usual they won’t be answered! Here is the link to the last piece I wrote on AAP last year January – http://vikasmukundan.blogspot.in/2014/01/whats-cooking-aap.html and on Facebook notes: https://www.facebook.com/notes/vikas-mukundan/whats-cooking-aap/10153729338080304.

Now now, did I hear someone say how can I call it a dead, yet un-dead party? I call them this because I find it as a party that is led by a master zombie and followed by an army of zombies called the AAPtards! Why a zombie? A zombie, as we all know is a corpse revived by witchcraft and whilst it shows signs of life, it definitely is dead – this is same case with AAP, it’s master and the followers – I say so because having met these AAPtards aka zombies who conjure up newer and newer arguments to support their master zombie in whatever faux pas the master may do and, just like a zombie, they go about following the lead zombie aimlessly!

Why do they do this? Lo behold and I came across a quote from Mark Twain and everything became crystal!

Twain said and I quote, “It’s easier to fool people than convince them that they have been fooled.”

How true!!

These AAPtards aka zombies fit the bill of the protagonist in the quote so very well! I wonder how is that Twain could see the AAPtards then, more than a hundred years back?! Of course no! AAPtards and their ilk have been there always and poor Twain also had the ignominy of facing them in his time and hence these pearls of wisdom came about!

It’s well over one full year and these zombies are yet unable to break-free from the spell of their master zombie! The answer to this too is very clear from what Twain says in this one liner that is loaded with wisdom any person with little common sense can read, comprehend and act upon. Alas, as they say common sense is very uncommon and hence, people continue to deny that they have been fooled and therefore to save their embarrassment of being fooled the first time, they choose to continue being fooled forever!

Can we expect them to wake up from the zombie spell and come back and accept their situation?
