"Congress has got Modiphobia, Namonia, Modinsomnia," writes IndiaToday.in's Facebook follower V.V.S. Dara from Andhra Pradesh. Given that Congress has set up a core group to do fact verification of speeches that Modi makes, he may have a point. It is one of the major investments in time and effort that the Congress has made in recent times. One moment Cong leaders go on record saying they don't have a care to spare for Modi. But the very next moment, they all come down pouncing on him with statements and satires - these intermittent fever cycles call for attention. Taking the analogy forward is a no brainer, especially now that the NaMo phenomenon is actually taking the shape of an epidemic. In fact, in the past few hours, it has claimed two political casualties, one from Modi's own party and the other from Bahujan Samaj Party - one for praising Modi and the other for criticising him. BSP MP Vijay Bahadur, who is a member of Lok Sabha from Hamirpur, has suffered Mayawati's ire for indiscipline, days after he praised the Gujarat Chief Minister. Bahadur had praised the BJP's head of campaign committee for 2014 general election for his infamous "puppy" example and "nationalist Hindu" comments. He stands by what he said which is as worst as it can get for Mayawati. "I have said what was correct. I was expecting this action," Bahadur said after his expulsion from the BSP. Suicide politician this! But closer home, Delhi BJP Vice-President Aamir Raza Hussain has resigned from his post after his statement against the Gujarat Chief Minister rubbed the party leadership and the power equations, on the wrong side. Husain had on Tuesday told a news channel that Muslims would prefer senior party leader L.K. Advani or Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj over Modi as the Prime Ministerial candidate. In this case, the realisation of him having shot his mouth did descend upon him, but a little late in the day. His resignation has been accepted. Moral of the story: Politicians with serious career aspirations, confused as they may seem with the present shift of power fulcrum, will have to avoid the foot-in-the-mouth disease.
