Its Shoe's day out

This election has thrown many surprises and will be remembered for a long time for many reasons. It is a 3 way fight and all the three alliances are having a close fight. Many analysts say the result will give a hung parliament. However, one unique thing about this election is the shoe throwing incidents. We see a number of people throwing shoes at the leaders including the Prime Minister and the Leader of Opposition. Has it become a fashion to throw shoes at the leaders to show their protests? It all started with a Iraqi journalist throwing shoe at George Bush when he was given a farewell. This continued in India and the first victim was our Home Minister Mr. P.Chidambaram when he was asked about the acquittal of Jagdish Tytler in the 1984 Sikh riots. This was followed by Naveen Jindal. However the most daring incident of all is a man throwing shoe at the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, when he was address a rally. These shoe throwers continued their fight when they threw a slipper at the NDA Prime Ministerial candidate Mr. L.K.Advani. The latest to join the group is the Karnataka Chief Minister Mr. B.S.Yedyurappa. I don’t know whether it is a political plot or not as all these leaders have pardoned the shoe throwers. I never knew that these people are so kind hearted :)
