War of Words in Chhatisgarh and Uttar Pradesh

I am sure most of the readers are getting sick of the 'War of Words' that is being waged in Chattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh. As the date of election approaches the acrimony is getting sharper. But yesterday's statements by both the lead contenders is plunging this battle at its worse depth. 

Modi has alleged that he is fighting against CBI and the IM (Indian Mujahideen). Whereas Rahul has said that there is no one to listen to the poor. If the statement of Modi is maligning CBI unfortunately it is also equating IM and CBI because if the CBI and IM both are pitted against him the agenda of CBI and IM is alleged to be common. Now isn't that going too far. But, in Indian politics, who cares.

On the other hand when Rahul says that no one listens to the poor , it reflect very badly on his own party because after all, he and his party are heading the nation. Thus, particular states are not heeding to the national program, the national government cannot escape the blame.

Witnessing this acrimonious, no hold bar battle, one may only wonder, how far they will go?
