"Burning an effigy"

From an article (about the latest hungama created by Deve Gowda and his vocabulary) that I just read on the NDTV news website:

"But BJP workers did what party workers the country over seem to do at the drop of a hat - burnt an effigy or two. That very phrase 'burning an effigy' is certainly used more in the Indian media than anywhere else in the world"

How true :)) and how very funny somehow :)) Still laughing :))
