Premonition was right but not prognosis

  

If either of the two happens to lose the municipal elections, the loser will not hesitate to shave his beard. This was a firm promise, but their assurance was burst like a balloon. 

It was more like a shallow promise in the heat of the elections. In a mostly earnest, insightful and of course politically tinged conversation, it remains closely a simple nature of politicians.

Both the leaders publicly challenged each other to cut their well-trimmed beards. As they both had beards, they decided to throw this very peculiar tantrum straight at each other. 

Fortunately, one party leader prevailed in the fiercely contested BMC elections. However, none ventured to shave their beards. 

Political leaders continue to quarrel with one another on trivial matters, without any gravity. Political leaders did not wait to defy each other on various points.

This talk even continued on YouTube with all the vehemence. Both politicians took part in the recently concluded BMC elections. One leader made a vitriolic statement against another party's candidate, who used the symbol of a kite. 

Then, another party leader replied that if the final results vary, he would seriously shave his beard. The results are clear, but nobody appeared to be readily moving to do what was promised.

Will it hurt anyone? The doubt was right, but not the foretelling. It looked quite odd, didn't it, but who remains a true believer in democratic values? 

Everything happens for a political purpose, and nothing is considered useless during elections. While none took the trouble of naming both the persons, as there was no need to mention their respective names at that delicate time.
