The secret of knowing when to speak and on what topic to speak is the hallmark of a true politician and the secret to a successful and lasting career.
Similarly, even PV Narasimha Rao once remarked, “Sometimes, inaction is the best action.”
Today when every Tom, Dick and Harry is keen on commenting on each and every issue and making the headlines, the response of LK Advani shows why he has managed to last so long in politics.
Asked to comment on the ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ controversy, he refused saying,“This is a meaningless controversy.”
Even KCR needs to be complimented on this aspect. When UoH was boiling over the suicide of Rohit Vemula, not once did KCR open his mouth on the issue or go anywhere near the campus keeping in mind the GHMC elections.
Rather, he cleverly allowed the student anger to be funneled against the BJP which was his main opposition in the GHMC polls. These are people with a long future in the game.
