In a country like India where politicians love to speak and masses buy their honeyed lies, it's seldom that three big politicians are seen getting heckled by the masses on the same day in three different states. Thursday was a bad day for Indian politicians as three big politicians, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, BJP President Amit Shah and AAP Supremo and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal were not only heckled but also booed while they tried to convince masses with their rhetoric. First, Congress scion Rahul Gandhi, who's out on the 2500 kms Kisan Yatra in a bid to win the trust of voters in UP, got booed. Meanwhile, his 'Khat Sabha', that had been looted of cots a day before, saw people breaking cots this time. Rahul was in Basti on Thursday and Congress workers led by none other than the strategist Prashant Kishore were keeping a close eye on people to make sure no one fled with cots this time. However, rumours are doing the rounds that Congress workers and security people allegedly beat up some people for trying to flee with cots. In response, people allegedly broke the cots. A few hundred kms away from Rahul's bandwagon, Delhi CM and AAP Supremo Arvind Kejriwal got booed by people both in the capital as well as in Ludhiana where Kejriwal had gone to inspect the party's prospects in the upcoming assembly elections.

Kejriwal, who is being taken to the cleaners by people for not speaking on the alleged sex CD of Delhi government minister Sandeep Kumar, alleged that it was a deliberate attempt by his political rivals to sabotage the party's image. First, CM Kejriwal was gheraoed in Delhi by workers of BJP Mahila Morcha, who waved bangles at him. So much so that even Kejriwal's security found it difficult to get the protesting women away from the Delhi CM.

On escaping the situation, Kejriwal might have been relieved, but his joy was terminated prematurely when he found the Mahila Congress workers waving black flags at him, Youth Akalai Dal workers hurling bangles, and AAP rebels protesting against the removal of Sucha Singh Chhotepur as Punjab convener, when he landed in Ludhiana.

A few hundred kilometres away from where Kejriwal was getting humiliated, BJP President Amit Shah also felt the heat of the masses when during a programme in Surat, Patidar protesters disrupted his speech and shouted Hardik Hardik. The Patidar movement did cost former CM Anandiben Patel her chair and BJP replaced her with Vijat Rupani. The businessmen-led Patidar Abhivadan Samiti (PAS) had organised this programme to felicitate prominent Patidar BJP leaders and party president Amit Shah as part of the party’s run-up to state elections next year.

Shouting “Hardik, Hardik,”, their Patidar leader who is currently in Udaipur serving the bail condition, the protesters disrupted the proceeding in Shah's presence with slogans of “Jai Sardar, Jai Patidar,” and “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”

The protesters also took on policemen who were trying to stop them. Apart from Shah, CM Vijat Rupani, his predecessor Anandiben Patel, BJP state president Jitu Vaghani, Union Ministers Parshottam Rupala, Mansukh Mandaviya and 44 Patidar MLAs of the BJP were also present on the stage.

The discontent against politicians has always been there in the masses, but it seldom gets out. Thursday was clearly an unlucky day for our politicians who always take the people for granted.
