The Scary Statue of Gandhiji and Politicians:
The Haunted Statue and the Grand Old Party
There is a peculiar traffic pattern in New Delhi. The untrustworthy politicians of the "Grand Old Party" have developed an absolute phobia of a specific route when traveling to the Indian Parliament. They will take any detour, no matter how long, just to avoid passing near the statue of Mahatma Gandhi.
It isn't a traffic jam they are dodging; it's a moral one. Having spent their entire careers doing the exact opposite of everything the Mahatma taught, they are utterly terrified of the stern, unblinking bronze stare of the man who actually practiced what he preached. To them, that statue isn't a monument—it's a 24/7 celestial performance review they are failing.

Politicians and their Hierarchy of Worries
Every segment of society carries its own heavy burden:
The Rural Poor: Worried about inflation and their sunken stomachs, wondering where the next meal will come from.
The Middle Class: Worried about how to save a single rupee for their future after the government taxes everything from their income to their daily tea.
The Ultra-Rich: Worried about how to shield their hard-earned wealth from the relentless jaws of the Income Tax department.
And then, we have The Politicians.
Do they worry about nation-building? The economy? The welfare of the people? Not remotely. Their nightmares are far more intimate. They stay up at night worrying about their family’s lavish lifestyles and their troublesome benamis (proxy property holders). It turns out, trusting a shadow partner to hide your billions is a recipe for severe heartburn and midnight panic attacks.
When these politicians demanded special state protection, the courts rightfully threw out the request with absolute clarity: “You are not national assets to be protected.” If anything, they are national liabilities on a lease.

At a party meeting in Shimla,Himachal Pradesh, well experienced politician gave a pep talk, of course, with full of sum and substance before a group of rookies (budding politicians):
"A true and matured politician is the one
who turns the 'difference' into a divide,
controversy into acute crisis,
boon' into doom,
a 'flop' into furor,
discussion hour' in the Assembly or Parliament into pandemonium,
enmity' between groups into a pitched battle
and opponent's weakness to his advantage......
Now, you have learned 75% of the trade. If you want go beyond 90% category, you should learn how to 'hoard' your boodles and 'cover up' all the allegations against you as if you had nothing to do with them. If you are timid and have elements of scruple, you are unfit to be a politician."

If you want to be a professional politician,you must develop skill and tactics over a period of time to go up the ladder of party high command and be ready to face a matrix of betrayal, denial, back stabbing, corruption charges, rivelry,etc. A small percentage of netas reach that level.

What is a Politician’s Delight?
A perfectly gullible audience. There is nothing a politician loves more than a crowd that happily applauds cock-and-bull stories, hungrily swallowing empty promises of an overnight utopia the moment the party takes power. To them, a naive voter is a free ride to a five-year term.
What is a Politician’s Regret?
An inquisitive media and an intelligent public. Nothing ruins a good campaign like citizens who actually remember last year's promises, fact-check loose talk, call out embarrassing gaffes, and point out that the politician's "official statistics" don't even pass basic third-grade math.
And their ultimate, exhausting daily grind?
Figuring out which offshore tax haven or mattress is big enough to park their mountain of ill-gotten cash. It truly is a hard life.
