Who is one of the most annoying Politician in India?

I may not get a consensus here. But for me, it has to be this person. This politician annoys me THE MOST for many reasons.

• Repeated U turns on almost every promise he made.
• His holier than thou attitude.
• His insistence that his political opponents come clean on his allegations every time he throws, while ducking the same when others throw them at him, is plain hypocrisy.
• Making lame duck promises accompanied with ill-founded and vague allegations/statements every once in a while with a sole intention of scoring short term votes. Sample these:
  
  
  
  
• His political aviation is powered by a single point agenda: Corruption. Otherwise the party is ideologically sterile. Why doesn't he come clean on issues other than corruption? What are his views on foreign policy, cross border terrorism, economic policy, naxalism, Kashmir issue, Bangladeshi infiltration, Chinese acquisition of Indian land, etc.?
• Purposefully tweeting pics of PHCs which have been shut down since years in remote peripheries and flashing them as the generalised state of hospitals in my state. Pathetic. Below the belt. 
  
  
• His deathly silence on the anti-national statements that his peers issue every now and then.
• A simple analysis of tweets of HH since 1st December, 2013. Why shouldn't I call his party B-team of Congress?

• The use-and-throw mentality. He used Anna. He used Kiran Bedi. He used IAC platform. He used the honest activists from all over India to start his political career and ultimately used Delhi's janta as a stepping stone to LS elections. Incredible!
• The Batman vigilante that some of his awesome supporters consider him and his associates to be, only adds to the unbearable irritation. I repeat*awesome* because:
  
  
• This is how he slyly shifted his goalposts over all these years:
  
  Anti corruption ---> Anti Congress ---> Anti (all political parties including INC and BJP) ---> Anti Congress-BJP ---> Anti BJP ---> And now he bared his fangs. 
  
  
  
  Somehow this gives me an impression that as if Modi was ruling the country and is responsible for the mess created in the last 10 years.
• When faced with tough questions, clueless supporters have only one thing to utter, "Atleast he is doing something. What have you done?"
  
  
• And THIS.

• But in the end, everything is forgiven. Why? Because:

1. At least AK Sir is doing something!
2. "सर, मैं तो बहुत छोटा आदमी हूँ जी"
3. "मेरी तो क्या औकात है!?"

P.S. I am aware of the fact that it is a parody account. That's the whole point. In case of any doubt, look here: http://www.quora.com/Who-is-the-...

EDIT: Here, there is a detailed and accurate analysis of AK's government in Delhi. Please have a look and upvote: Sandhya Ramesh's answer to Arvind Kejriwal's Resignation (14 Feb 2014): What are possible reasons for Arvind Kejriwal resignation as Chief Minister?

Why will Arvind Kejriwal be defeated by Narendra Modi in Varanasi?

No, Arvind Kejriwal will not be able to defeat Narendra Modi in Varanasi 
and rightly so.

Before we dive into the reasons as to why I say so, let's understand the federal structure of the Indian democracy...

Indian democracy has three parts: 
1. Legislature (Lok Sabha/ Rajya Sabha / State Assemblies, etc) 
2. Judiciary (All Courts - Supreme Court, High Court, etc) 
3. Executive (All Govt machinery, Ministers, and other Govt offices under them) 

India has three levels of governance: 

1. Federal (Union Govt) 
2. State Govt 
3. Local Govt (Udaipur Municipal Corporation, village panchayats, etc) 

All the levels of governance have all the three parts, legislature, judiciary and executive. 

Now there is a difference in a MP and a MLA. MP is a Member of Parliament (which could be Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha ). So, yes you are right that MP is bigger in the sense that they represent a larger constituency and form part of the Union Govt legislature. 

MLA on the other hand is a member of state legislature (Vidhan Sabha). You would have also heard MLC, they are the same too. They are members of state legislature - Legislative Council (Vidan Parishad). 

So as MLA represents a smaller constituency in the State Government system, they are lesser in stature than the MPs.

So while I agree that the Varanasi loksabha seat is held with BJP since 1991, the top voted anon is completely wrong when he blames the MP from Varanasi for all the misery of the city as it is the state government, the MLAs and the local municipality which has a far greater role to play when it comes to the roads, sanitation and other things in the city.

So evidently, MP's can't be entirely blamed/credited for the developmental works happening in and around a city... and this is true for all the cities. 

Having said that, it is worth noting that out of 23 years that BJP MP had his government for 7 years... while he sat in the opposition for 16 years. 

Now I'm assuming that you all know the credentials of SP and BSP who have been in the power for about 12+ years which also sufficiently explains the state of the city.

Why voting for Modi's BJP might prove to be a turning point for the Varanasians in 2014-

Here are few simple reasons :-

1. They'll vote for Modi and not the BJP. 
   (It is the candidate that matters, not the party)

2. Modi's contribution as MLA and as a CM in Gujarat :


Modi is a MLA in Gujarat govt. from Maninagar, Ahemdabad. 

Here are some snaps of the Ahemdabad and his projects. 

3. Given his past record on development and issue addressing, who wouldn't want Modi as a MP from his place?

Kejriwal has hardly anything to put up against Mr. Modi in his brief tenure of 49 days except promises.

4. Add to all this his "Hindutva" image will appeal to the large Hindu population of Varanasi.


Hence I don't think Kejriwal stands any chance against Mr. Modi and rightly so. 


P.S. I'm a Gujarati muslim and I've seen the guy work.

This short story summarises the things very well.
Ant and Grosshopper - Indian Version of story - too good and fact


Original Story:

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool
and laughs dances plays the summer away. Come winter, the Ant is warm and
well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the
cold.


Indian Version:

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool
and laughs dances plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands
to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others
are cold and starving.

NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper
next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with
food.

The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor
Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.

Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that
Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter .

Mayawati states this as 'injustice' done on Minorities.

Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticize the Indian Government for
not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.

The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the
Grasshopper (many promising Heaven & Everlasting Peace for prompt support
as against the wrath of God for non-compliance) .

Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for 'Bengal Bandh' in
West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.

CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in
the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and
Grasshoppers.

Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway
Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.

Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the 'Prevention of Terrorism Against
Grasshoppers Act'[POTAGA] , with effect from the beginning of the winter..

Arjun Singh makes 'Special Reservation' for Grasshoppers in Educational
Institutions in Government Services.

The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left
to pay his retroactive taxes, it's home is confiscated by the Government
and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV, BBC, CNN.

Arundhati Roy calls it 'A Triumph of Justice'.

Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice'.

CPM calls it the 'Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden'

Koffi Annan invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.


Many years later...

The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar
company in Silicon Valley ,

100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere
in India ,

....AND

As a result of losing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the
grasshoppers, India is still a developing country...!

All the above while engaged in regular wars with an implacable enemy that seeks its destruction, and an economy continuously under strain by having to spend more per capita on its own protection than any other country on earth. This from a country just 55 years young having started off life on a very frontiers-like basis, whose population had mostly just emerged from the devastating World War II years.

For those of you who don’t know (again, probably most of you), Israelis have invented much of the technology used today such as instant messaging (ICQ), firewall security software, Intel wireless computer chips, numerous medicines, and miniature video camera capsules to examine internal organs.

More Israeli patents are registered in the US than from Russia, India, and China combined, despite the enormous population disadvantage (about 7 million in Israel vs. 2.5 billion combined in the other 3.
