<b> How Slayers are Sainted</b>
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I rarely watch news channels. Iâd rather go to a local car tinkering garage if I was that desperate for noise. I made an exception today because I fully wanted to experience the expected orgy of insanity that I was sure would be unleashed when a guy like YSR dies. The Congress party and its stooge, the media, continue to be busy trying to outdo each other: Andhra strongman! Leader of the masses! Irreplacable Loss! Mascot of good governance! Good Doctor! Healer-Chief Minister! Colossus!
The process of anointing YSR from Y S Rajashekhara Reddy to St. Samuel is underway with full steam.
The martyrdom frenzy that the media is whipping up is a worse epidemic than Swine Flu. Only, this time, the focus is a (dead) human being. The verdict is unanimous: St. Samuel, St. Samuel, St. Samuel! Thereâs absolutely no scope for an iota of dissent, no space to dissect this manâs pastâ¦but there are some unalterable universals like the evil that men do lives after them⦠Only, we fail to detect a trace of the public good that YSR did over his long political career.
