It's months since I have written anything on this blog. But this is something I could not resist writing on.
I remember the slogan of one of the teams in IT-BHU – Try beating us? Better join us. And, Indian politics is the best perpetrator of this slogan. It is often told - Politics throws up strange bed-fellows. Again, nothing exemplifies it better than politics in India and Indian parliamentary elections. What led to my realizing this now? Well…let me explain.
What is Shekhar Suman’s claim to fame? Political satire shows on various channels, especially copy cat act of Lallu. Right? What is he doing now? Contesting elections from Patna and that too on Congress ticket, i.e. from UPA, where Lallu is an integral part. So Shekharji is on the same side as Lallu is. However, he is not alone. In fact there is a more interesting example.
So, what is the claim to fame of Mr. Prakash Jha? Films Mrityudand and Gangajal right? And, was that about? Women empowerment in Bihar and somebody called Sadhu Yadav in Mrityudand, right. And, I hope no explanation would be required to understand to whom that Sadhu Yadav refers to. Anyway, this time Mr. Jha too is trying his luck in the elections and again from Bihar on LJP ticket, close partner of Mr. Lallu. So, here is another political convert. I wonder what could be so charming about Lallu that people turn head over heals. And, people like Mr. Jha turn from foe to friend. Or, there is more to this?
Shekhar Suman and Prakash Jha are perfect examples of what they say in hindi “thali ka baingan” (Brinjal in a plate) ya “bina pendi ka lota” (baseless tumblers). And, the irony is there would a few thousand electorate who would vote for them, either in their name or in their caste’s name and ensure that this breed of people/continue to grow.
