Politics of death

It seems in this election dead souls are handy for PM Modi and BJP leaders. First PM used the photos of 40 CRPF jawans who died at the hands of suicide bomber.

Later PM openly asked for votes in name of dead soldiers from "first time" voters. Now at fag end of election campaign late PM Rajiv Gandhi has come handy.

If Rajiv Gandhi was Bhrashtachar No.1, why their government in past could not prove and send him to prison, probably former PM would have not gory death at the hands of suicide bombers and would have got opportunity to present his side of story.
