Varun Gandhi vs Western music, culture
NDTV Correspondent, Tuesday September 29, 2009, New Delhi

The saffron Gandhi has a new war cry -- Varun Gandhi says it's the duty of all Hindus to become warriors to save their religion. And the rhetoric didn't end there, the Haryana BJP promised a new law to curb Western culture and music that apparently spreads "vulgarity " in its election manifesto.

BJP on Tuesday released its election manifesto for Haryana elections. Senior BJP leader and state president Krishna Pal Gujjar said that BJP will make law to see that in the name of culture western music and vulgarity is not spread', this is part of the election manifesto in Hindi.

From the man who had aspirations of being the BJP's shining star, the months since may have been a reality check many in his party blamed his hate speeches for the BJP's rout in UP pushing the Muslims to vote in favour of the Congress but time doesn't seem to have tempered Varun's rhetoric.

"All Hindus should become warriors to save the religion, it is the duty of all Hindus," said Varun Gandhi, BJP MP.

These words uttered while visiting a temple in Ghaziabad perhaps is a proof that for Varun his image as Hindu yuva samarat is one he believes will work for him. This was Varun's first public speech since the Lok Sabha elections again not exactly music to his party's ears.

"The BJP has made it clear on issues of ideology - at its national executive that it doesn't believe in a theocratic state," said Ravishankar Prasad, BJP leader.

Theocratic state it might not want but the BJP's Haryana unit is going to the polls promising a law to curb vulgarity.

In this atmosphere, this could be Varun's way of staying in the good books of the RSS but for the BJP, their Pilibhit MP again might ignite another controversy.

Can't stop gushing on this hypocritic and childish speech of Varun Gandhi. Western Music and Vulgarity...Just take this: - 1.)Sarkaai Lo Khatia Jaada Lage 2.)Tip Tip barsa Paani 3.)Choli ke Peeche Kya hai and lots more that can't even be quoted here... I'm not advocating Wedtern music here. What I'm trying to say is that Good and bad exists everywhere irrespective of language and culture. We should teach our society to be open to the world choose the good for us...rather than turning the society into a prisoners' nation...

Maneka Gandhi should teach her son some manners. BJP should go to polls with development as the agenda not hate and irrelevant topics like western music
