10 Dumbest things said by our politicians

Our politicians are the most articulate lot! From some of them having criminal background, to those whose names appear consistently in every scam… our political “lot” is one (and only) interesting thing about our economy.

Some of the things that they said are not only outrageous, but also out rightly dumb!!! You would definitely not expect a person of such cadre say stuffs like these on such serious issues!

So here’s a compilation of the 10 Dumbest stuffs said by our politicians! ;-0 Put your hands together, and welcome the top 10 people to enter our “Hall of shame”.

1.        Asaram Bapu: “She should have called the culprits “Brothers” and begged for mercy.”

This self proclaimed god man, added to the shame by holding the unfortunate girl responsible in the famous “Delhi Rape Case”. According to him, the victim should have called the rapists “Brothers” and fallen on their feet, begging for mercy.

Really? Is this a god man talking or chauvinist? It is because of such irresponsible and ridiculous statements that encourages rapists!

  

2.       Rahul Gandhi: “Poverty is just a state of mind.”

When a potential prime ministerial candidate or youth leader says this, it only shows how cut off he is from the ground realities. His remark not only attracted a lot of flack, but was also said to be a “mockery” of the poor.

Time for some reality check honey!  

3.       Ajit Pawar: “If there is no water in the dam, should we urinate into it???”

An insensitive joke about the plight of farmers in drought hit areas of Maharashtra; Pawar ridiculed a farmer who had been fasting for almost 2 months, demanding the release of water from the nearby dam for his scorched field.

4.       Jitendar Chattar: “Eating Chowmean and fast food leads to hormonal imbalance, evoking an urge to rape.”

Waaoww!!! I mean Waaaoooowwww!!! Really???? That’s like too much gyaan!!!

Are all the people out there reading this??? It is not the men (with raging hormones) who are responsible for rapes… it’s the chowmean!!! So the next time you get eve teased or harassed, you know whom to file the complaint against!!!

5.       Raj Babbar: “Even today in Mumbai, I can have a full meal at Rs.12/-”

May I please have the address of that generous restaurant/ Dhaba where you get this??

The last thing I bought for under Rs.12/- was merely a bottle of water!   

6.       Mohan Bhagwat: “Rapes happen in India, not Bharat”

On one hand where the whole nation was agitated with the occurrence of Delhi Rape Case, Bhagwat didn’t refrain from sharing his “views” on the same.

He held the “westernization” of Indian cities to be the reason behind rapes. He also said, “You go to villages and forests and there will be no such incidents. It is the urban cities where rapes happen.”

7.      Rahul Gandhi (Again!): “For how long will U.P. youths go and beg in Maharashtra?”

Migration out of helplessness and less opportunities from states like U.P. and Bihar to Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh is an increasingly frequent phenomenon.

But dude, people who migrate don’t necessarily end up begging! Get your stats right!

8.       Anisur Rahman: “If you are raped, what will be your fee?”

A former West Bengal Minister, Rahman’s “Hard-as-a-nail” remark humiliated not only the entire woman community and rape victims, but others as well.

Though he apologized publicly for having said things that he didn’t “mean”, this incident has definitely left a print behind.

9.       Mamata Banerjee: “Rapes are happening because men and women are interacting more freely.”

 

Another bizarre reasoning and a failed attempt of “explaining” why rapes happen, Mamata Banerjee said, “Earlier if men and women would hold hands, they would get caught by parents and reprimanded but now everything is so open. It's like an open market with open options."

10.      Sriprakash Jaiswal: “Victory fades, just like a wife becomes old and loses her charm.”

The Union Coal Minister compared women to cricket match victory celebration on hearing the news of India's victory over Pakistan.

I pity his wife!

You must have understood by now, that there are incredibly high number of people playing the blame game as to who exactly is responsible behind the increased number of rapes!

Right from Chowmeans to not calling the rapists your brother, there’s everything to be blamed, but our “mentality”.

#IncredibleIndia isn’t it?
