On the first day
of his campaign, Rahul chose to stay away from all caste-related
issues, focusing mainly on youth and bad governance.
"I want to ask
you all one simple question: What have the successive government
done for you in the past 15 years?" he asks in one of his rallies.
But the reception
from the crowd that gathered to check him out at Muradnagar was at
best lukewarm. Rahul's charisma, known to work well in Amethi and
Rae Barelli, seemed to be missing in this area.
"I am here to
work shoulder to shoulder with you to change this state and usher in
all-round development, and to forget the 15 years of misrule," he
thundered.
The Congress'
trump card has chosen his mother's style of campaigning — small
public meetings where he interacts with voters. And on Monday, Rahul
even had an unplanned meeting during a break at a fast-food joint.
But this may not be enough for the Congress to re-establish its
touch with the state.
Congress behaved
to earn power as ‘madari’
All democracies
turn into dictatorships—but most not by coup. The people give their
democracy to a dictator, whether it’s Julius Caesar or Napoleon or
Adolf Hitler or Indira Gandhi. Now we are going to face Sonia’s
dictatorship. “Gandhi dynasty” is eligible quota "reserved caste
called Gandhi to use poor innocent people as granted. The people are
responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be
ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate
ignorance, recklessness and corruption.
Congress behaved
to earn power as ‘madari’ show monkey dance for his livelihood. She
took over the India through Gandhi dynasty, to own everything and to
control everyone. Sonia’s entrance into 10 Janpath spelt disaster
and she will be runaway when she will be sure the Congress is in
intensive care, bleeding to death.
I believe Gandhi
dynasty again enhance its tail a long-term plan to rule India as we
see grooming of impotent Rahul Gandhi with the help of tainted
corrupt opportunistic allies to create an Orwellian dictatorship to
attract
all
sorts of characters
("So called
secular Order") in which wealth in Swiss bank and political power in
India will be concentrated and life of our people will be further
degraded. This continuum would enable one to draw out the linkages
between corruption as a political phenomenon and the institutional
health of Indian democracy.
Political-monkey-dance of Natwar and Ajit Singh
Even today in
villages a 'MADARI' (hindi name for monkey trainer or Juggler) on
the streets, with his monkey performing
acrobatic stunts, much to the amusement of the local by-passers who
at the end pay a rupee or two for the performance. It has come our
knowledge that, unfortunately some of these 'MADARI's' treat
these animals very shabbily. There is also monkey dance in politics.
Some one has told me the dances of Natwar Singh and Chaudhary Afit
Singh and how they are being treated by their political dance
master.
Jobless madari
and snake charmers
Nearly 450
families of the “Kalandar” (Madari) community residing in nearby
Ranherakhera village are facing starvation due to a ban on the show
of animals by the Union Government and the alleged failure on part
of the authorities to launch any rehabilitation programme for them.
A 1972 ban on
snake charming has been inconsistently implemented, but more than
three decades later, 75 percent of the entertainers have felt its
effects in some way, a study by the private Wildlife Trust of India
found. Largely chased out of major cities, the snakes charmer is now
increasingly based in villages where he does not risk police
crackdowns but earns far less, the study said
Political Dynasty
Vs Entertainers’ Dynasty
Snakes charmer
and Madari who do not want to disclose their adenitis, said the
entertainers, whose skills are passed
from father to son, desperately needed to find a new form of income.
"India is known for its kings and its snake monkey beer elephant as
Sonia Gandhi herself said at the time of marriage to Rajiv Gandhi.
Kingdoms are gone but dynasties have come. They have stopped
entertainers profession but there was a time when we entertainers
used to be sent abroad to perform at festivals of India. Even that
has stopped now," One said. "Please restart these festivals instead
of inaugurating the MF Hussein’ Exhibition of nude paintings of
Bharatmata and Goddess Saraswati," another said.

2006:
Charmers release cobras outside Orissa assembly
Snake charmers
set loose scores of cobras on the Mahatma Gandhi Road near the state
assembly on Sunday during a protest against the government, causing
passers-by to maintain a safe distance.
Police moved in
and directed the owners of the venomous snakes to put them inside
their baskets as they are not allowed to display the reptiles in a
public place.
A large number of
snake charmers led by the president of the 'Sapua Kela Sangh' or
association of snake charmers demand that the ban on public shows be
lifted.
Will life of
Rajiv goes ‘reverse’
There was a
report from Bathinda:
The undying desire to get his name registered in the Guinness Book
of World Record and to spread the message of peace and friendship
between India and Pakistan by ‘driving the car in reverse’ seems to
have put the life of Mr Harpreet Pappu, a local resident and his
family, in ‘reverse gear’.
Mr Pappu, whose
wife has been writing in reverse, seems to have suffered the setback
from the day he took this missionary task as, after covering a
distance of 16250 km by driving the car in reverse in 50 days, he
could not get his name registered in the Guinness Book on the one
hand and on the other, he has come under debt as he was forced to
borrow more than Rs 1 lakh to meet the expenditure of his “one-man
mission”.
“I took up this
mission the day I was beaten up by a jawan of paramilitary forces
during the curfew imposed in Punjab in 1984 when the terrorism was
at its peak. I decided to drive the car in reverse to reverse the
trend of bitter relations between India and Pakistan so that peace
could prevail in state”.
Mr Pappu, who has
driven different vehicles and covered a distance of 7 lakh km, has
been finding it difficult to go to Pakistan on his peace mission as
he could not find anyone who could sponsor his mission.
One channel has
reported two days back that another reverse car driver has started
his reverse journey from Kolkata flagged by Sports Minister of West
Bengal. There was one car in the front and another car wan behind
the reverse car driver for avoiding accident. His destination is
Wagha border.
