SUdems Pecislentty While making speeches, they are very careful about projecting their image as a person who is polite, reliable, gentle, active whereas, in reality they are just the opposite. The common man in India is politically very conscious and he is not fooled by these insincere, inefficient and corrupt batch ofl politicians any more. Take a person like B.

Don't you think the “angry young man' image that Amitabh projects is rather dangerous ? Itis very appealing to the frustrated and unempioyed section of our youth.
