From calling their opponents deranged and comparing them to demons, political candidates and their party members are keeping things classy this election season. In a highly shocking statement on rapists, Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav said that "sometimes boys make mistakes."
Yadav was referring to the Shakti mills gangrape case in Mumbai where repeat offenders have been sentenced to death under the strict anti-rape laws enacted after December 16 Delhi gang rape incident. Yadav had opposed the new law in the Parliament saying that it will divide the society and nobody would hire women for any work fearing a false case later.
A day after Bharatiya Janata Party's PM candidate Narendra Modi criticised Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar over the state of the hailstorm-hit farmers in Maharashtra, Pawar said Modi needs to be treated in a mental hospital for talking rubbish.
Earlier, BJP MLA Heeralal Regar, while addressing workers in Rajasthan's Tonk constituency threatened to strip Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Vice President Rahul Gandhi and send them back to Italy if the BJP came to power. Congress candidate Imran Masood from Saharanpur had threatened to 'chop Modi into pieces'. Here are more examples of politicians shooting off their mouth at election campaigns.
