"If a certain section of the country openly wishes to endorse a particular party, it is definitely well within its rights to do so. Did we object when Lata Mangeshkar 'wished' on behalf of the country for Modi's Prime Ministership? Do we demur when Baba Ramdev or Sri Sri Ravi Shanker eulogise Modi and BJP? Or has Mascarenhas been targeted because he belongs to the minority?" COMMENT: 1: TRUE the Constitution guarantees Freedom of Speech, but who will enforce this guarantee? 2: IF Mascarenhas has a right to free speech (to endorse), does not the non-endorsed party have a right to 'take on' Mascarenhas? 3: Election season is known as 'Silly Season' for a reason. Anything can and will be said to get the upper hand and vote? 4: Politicians will promise the world to the general public and (at best) deliver a zonk. 5: Are we really surprised? I seriously doubt Mascarenhas is. jc
