Rahul Mehta Gandhinagar LsCandidate

A massive paidmedia campaign was unleashed between 4-apr-2011 and 12-apr-2011 which convinced many many Indian activists and voters that "Janlokpal will reduce corruptuion to near zero and Anna, Arvind Gandhi, Kiran Bediji etc are all committed to bring Janlokpal ONLY and have no intention to get political positions" !!!
.
Back then, I started to convince that "Janlokpal is a piece of garbage" and "Anna is just publicity hungry freak" And "Arvind Gandhi and Kiran Bediji's sole goal is to get political positions by using activism as tool". And that none give a damn about Janlokpal.
.
( I started writing against Kiran Bediji ONLY after she officially joined politics, because I dont write against people who are not in govt, not in politics and also not paidjournalists. Now on 11-apr-2011, Anna and Arvind Gandhi had taken position in Govt by becoming member of Lokpal Committee and so it was OK to write against their motives)
.
And back then 10s of FB users started badmouthing me because they had very high regards for Janlokpal, Anna, Arvind Gandhi and Kiran Bedi. I merely unfollowed but not blocked those who badmouthed me on their walls and blocked all badmouthed me on my wall. And I kept writing against Janlokpal, against Publicity Hungry Freak Anna and against Mahatma Arvind Gandhi (and later against fake Kiran Bediji after she openly joined politics). I dont know what those Janlokpal-andhbhagats , Anna-andhbhagats and ArKe-andhbhagats think about Janlokpal Anna and KiBe now. Nor do I care to know. Once I block a person, I move ahead, After all, population of India is 130 crore.
.
But back then, one thing I had to depend on --- the 26 page long Janlokpal DRAFT !!! (The next version of Janlokpal was 45 page long and was equally bad page of garbage). Those who cared to read DRAFT, I could convince them than Janlokpal was a piece of garbage, And once they agreed that Janlokpal was garbage, they could see that The Anna was just a publicity hungry freak and they could see that Arvind Gandhi and KiBe statements that "Janlokpal will reduce corruption" were lies. And since they were liars, they had some motives.
.
But back then, I had one piece from THEIR side --- Janlokpal draft. The Janlokpal draft enabled me to convince many activists that Janlokpal was garbage, And Anna / ArKe / KiBe / Bhusans etc were all frauds.

Today's paidmedia coverage on "surgical strike" is bigger than Janlokpal paidmedia coverage. And unlike Janlokpal DRAFT, I dont have any hard material from side of paidjournalists to analyse their reports on surgical strikes. There is only one sided reporting and other side has no means to question or verify.
.
But one thing that one can do is -- compare surgical strikes with Kargil war, After all, surgical strikes were NOT done in Kargil !!!
.
So list of factors which enabled us to do "surgical strikes" today, and stopped us from doing surgical strikes during Kargil war, can be a good point to start !!!
