1. War of Words of India's Political Biggies
The Indian politicians are constantly seen having a verbal war with one another. The attacks
made by them are sometimes hilarious and rather amusing. A remark passed by one becomes
the food for thought for another. The war of words never ends! Be it BSP’s elephant not
eating fodder but cash as said Rahul Gandhi or the sarcasm showered by Digvijay at Team
Anna. A few instances of the attacks made by the politicians recently are:
Rahul vs Mayawati: The recent election campaigns in Uttar Pradesh saw Congress General
Secretary Rahul Gandhi making serious allegations at Mayawati, saying that her government
misuses the Central Government aid and that the money goes into the pockets of the BSP
workers. He said “When Hindustan is moving forward, Uttar Pradesh is going backwards.” In
a rally in U.P, Gandhi was quoted saying "There is an elephant sitting in Lucknow and this
elephant is eating your money. This time UP has decided to throw away this elephant.” On
many occasions Rahul raised the corruption issue in Mayawati’s rule and with regard to the
food security bill, he said that there were welfare schemes like the MNREGA but the funds
were appropriated by the ministers. He said he wasn’t sure if the U.P Government would
provide food to all or just BSP leaders, ministers and criminals. To this statement Mayawati
retorted saying "The Congress is getting nightmares about BSP's election symbol elephant
driving them away."

2. Karunanidhi Vs Jayalalithaa: The two very well known for their rivalry and counter attacks at each
other were in news again in the recent past over Jaya’s decision to convert a library into hospital.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa's announcement to convert Anna Centenary Library building
into a hospital was slammed by DMK president M Karunanidhi and he said “the AIADMK government
was destroying all symbols of Tamil culture.” He alleged that Jayalalithaa's latest announcement was
driven by vendetta, "which shows her rage (against DMK)."
Sonia vs Mamta: Trinamool Congress Chief Mamta
Banerjee constantly seems to be opposing the Congress. The constant flare ups on various issues like
the Lokpal bill, the sharing of Teesta waters, the FDI in retail sector and the renaming of the Indira
Bhavan has been prevalent between the two parties. Though no personal attack was made by
Mamta or Sonia at each other, various oppositions and attacks at their parties have always managed
to make news. Attacks and counter attacks by both the parties have become a mundane activity.
Recently Manas Bhuniya, minister in West Bengal cabinet and former state Congress president, said
"chiefs of both Congress and Trinamool Congress should sit together and discuss the matter" as an
attempt to arrest the drift in the relationship between the two allies, as reported by ZeeNews.com.
Bhuniya added "open criticism of each other would harm both."

3. Anna vs Digvijay: Congress General Secretary, Digvijay Singh made attacks on Anna and his team
through a micro-blogging website Twitter. He said “Anna won't speak a word against the BJP and
RSS. Would Anna force BJP and do a Dharna in front of Advaniji's residence and tell them not to
oppose Lokpal Bill in Rajya Sabha(Sic).” He also added “Team Anna and their foul mouthed People
would still hurl abuses at Congress PM and CP. Reason- Team Anna a front for BJP/RSS (sic).” Singh
sought to know from Anna and his team as to why they had not reacted against the BJP which
prevented the Lokpal from getting a Constitutional body status in the Lower House. Singh also made
fun of the media and Team Anna over claims of having a mass supporter base. He said “Media
claimed Anna has the support of 120 crore people. Where are they? Would media please correct
their estimates?” as reported by ZeeNews.com.
