Internal fights in India. - election 2009.
It all started in November 2008 when Mr Advaniji started blogging.
Then an advertisement on TV. It was a counter ad by both Congress and BJP.
For every hour you sit to watch TV you will find both BJP and Congress ads at least once.
Congress purchased the rights for an ad jaI ho song from the Oscar winner "Slumdog millionaire" which goes as "jai no.............." no sooner BJP came out with an ad which goes as "Bhay ho......" which means frightened. It actually meant that when congress was the ruling party what India got was just tears.
How can one forget when Advaniji said that "he has not seen such a weak PM as Dr.Manmohan Shing
There were agitated people throwing chapels (shoe) on politicians. First one was thrown on Mr. Chidambaram and later was thrown on Cavern Jindal (MP from Kurukshetra) and Even on Advani.
Is there any thing which is unseen by us to be seen.
One thing notable is that politicians have now become tech savvy as some of them have followed Obama's foot steep of blogging and tweeting.

The man who hurled the slipper has been identified as Pavas Agrawal, a former functionary of the BJP. He has been arrested and is being interrogated.

The Chappal (shoe) Election 2009.
Its becoming too common throwing shoes on politicians.
First it was Mr. Chidambaram and now its the turn of industrilist cum MP Naveen Jindal.
Its becoming a cause of concern that there is some mistake in the system that needs to be solved , the shoe game is just because of sheer anger.
In my openion no one would dare to throw a shoe on politicians unless and until he wants to be famous or is angry with him or her.
During election time this is become common. Two parties are fighting among themselves , Not done ! . I totally disagree with the idea of throwing shoe but a rather way is to participate in politics and getting involved and bringing about a change in the system.
Here is a video on " Shoe thrown on Mr. Chidambaram -
PS - How many more shoe's are to be thrown ?
