What Is It With All The 'Sweeping' Statements?

18-06-2013 - Charandas Mahant (Congress):

"If Congress president Sonia Gandhi asks me to pick up a broom and sweep state Congress office in Chhattisgarh, I would do it," [Link]

02-07-2013 - Kailash Vijayvargia (BJP): 

"…if party ask me to contest municipal corporation election I will follow the order and I will even sweep the floor of the party office if party ask me to do so" [Link]

02-07-2013 - Beni Prasad Verma (Congress) referring to SP leaders: 

"They are dreaming about becoming the PM. But they are not fit enough to get a sweeper's job in the PM's residence" [Link]

Is it that the politicians have realised that 'sweeping' is the only task they are good for?

Personally, I think these politicians should be thankful that they are not members of the BSP. Mayawati would definitely make them sweep the floors… and much more.
