Election Kabaddi: Modi's BJP vs Congress in Ad Wars

Take a look at these election ads by Congress and BJP. Pot shots, dark humour and great production value guaranteed.

1. No Captain, only Vice Captains?

Taking obvious potshots at the lack of leadership in Congress, this ad pits saffron ganji clad muscled men and blue coloured (literally..look at their faces) weaklings in a Kabaddi match. No points for guessing which party is which. Do look out for the handsome one who obviously represents Narendra Modi.

2. The One Who Must Not be Named

Congress knows who to blame for all that is wrong inGujarat and they go arty this time with a dim lit studio, actors with white paint on their faces and ofcourse an empty chair. We think Clint Eastwood was consulted.

3. Modi-The Super Hero

The handsome version of Modi returns , this time playing Kabaddi. Atleast what we think it is. Because instead of saying Kabaddi Kabaddi, the handsome version of Modi (let's call him HVM for time saving purpose) is seen muttering 'Bhajpa, Bhajpa Bhajpa'. Creepy. But this ad is meant to show the might of the mighty HVM. Unstoppable, unbeatable and un-everything.

4. Bholu Gujarat

Yes. That is the song title. Congress wants to inform the innocent Gujarati public that they are being fooled. You get to see blindfolded people in school, drinking tea and going on with their lives. And then comes a Gujarati pop band with this song about how these gullible people are being fooled by an 'autocratic regime' (cough Modi's BJP) and its urgent they open their eyes and build a new Gujarat. And how do they do that. By voting for Congress ofcourse. We wish they had better clothes for the "pop band" members though.

5. The Bald, Rapping Bhai

He's bald. He is err..healthy. He wears chunky jewellery, over-sized T-shirts with printed skulls and has some wicked tattoos. And oh..he raps. Meet Bhai. The song and dance man who tells you about the Congress scams along with some super awesome (not) dance moves. Don't miss.

6. BJP Rocks at Kabaddi

The final installment of the famous Kabaddi match. Another pot shot at the confused and leader less Congress who send a scapegoat to take on the mighty orange ganji brigade. HVM is so fantabulous, that he alone defeats the goat without breaking a sweat. Applause please.

7. Congress without Leader, Train without Engine

Now this is the best ad we came across, which puts the message across most effectively. Gujarat's junta is sitting inside a train that just doesn't move. Why? No engine ofcourse. Meanwhile, a Modi driven BJP shoots past them in a blur. Plain and simple. We just wish the baby would cry a little less, it's just annoying. And how do we know it is the smartest one out there. Notice the train compartments labelled 2G and 3G!
