He just wanted us to know his name

When I switched on the tv a few days back, the news channels were teeming with the footage of Varun Gandhi's Pilibhit speech. A number of things came to my mind when I saw that:

1. Ok... this is Varun GANDHI. 

2. What a wannabe speech and how much time had he spent learning it so there's no mistake. 

3. How happy he must feel with all the adulation (at that moment) that had so far been reserved for his cousins.

I don't think he meant what he said. For a number of reasons... the most important being his half-sikh descent. I do think he was stupid enough to be used as a pawn... now he is the poster-boy of hate... a mini-Modi. A silly preppie who went to a village and got carried away by the applause and the cheering which he had earlier only seen on TV when Rahul and Priyanka addressed rallies. He just wanted to be as famous as Didi and Bhaiyya.
