Opinion polls & poor Congress

Thursday, 7 November 2013

Congress hates opinion polls.
That's what the Congress said in their reply to Election Commission. And it's not a rocket science to understand that Congress doesn't hate opinion polls, but it hates opinion polls which show Congress losing. Practically no-one wants to hear the criticism, that to repeatedly. It's a human tendency to stop it or, at best try to avoid it. And Congress is trying both. Boycotting the debate & complaining to EC. What else can Congress do, man? Polls after polls BJP was projected as the winner, unless the survey is conducted by AAP. AAP through its very transparent mechanism ensured that it wins. Yes, it is also understandable if AAP doesn't win in its own poll, then why would they make it public, no?

Coming back to Congress, Sanjay Jha has been the face saver for them on TV, night after night he is trying to defend the indefensible. Though he himself loses his face many times, but tries to save Congress's face. Never mind his logic, he tries his best to spin any argument on its head and hijack the whole argument, turning it into a mess. Looking at Jha's such special abilities, handling the debates on opinion polls would not been hard for him. Somehow Congress felt it's better to boycott such debates on opinion polls. In other words, whenever there are debates on opinion polls, Sanjay Jha can have rest. Though during such resting holidays, Jha surely will watch Arnab's show. Feeling relaxed & not at all threatened by Arnab's loud voice, for the first time. Happy holidaying Mr. Jha. We won't miss you.

Congress is a giant party, Jairam opined. So what if there are no spokespersons on TV to defend Congress? There are so many journalists who can do that job. On some channels, even such journalists are also not required, anchors are sufficient. All these mean, Congress's decision of boycotting won't harm the party, much. But this decision would definitely save millions of viewer's from Sanjay Jha.
I am not sure, how we all can thank Congress for this ground breaking decision.
