Harish Nagpal organized a colorful Bar disco party on the occasion of the naming ceremony of his newly born son. One lakh people entertained themselves with the bar girls dance and eat sweets in the party given by their lok Sabha Sansad. A beautiful moving dancing girl ‘Sujein’ of Ujbekistan won the hearts of the gathering. Above one crore rupees are expensed in the sexy function to entertain the people of his constituency. Bar girls are brought from Mumbai.

Weapons have been shown openly in that political colorful party. People zoomed to see the bar girls’ dace. Netaji said there is no entertain medium for the entertainment of the people of his constituency. People want entertainment and so organizing dance party is the necessity instead of crime. These parties are common now days in UP. Though, open money game are played in these. In election days these are more popular than cricket in UP.

Dance at Congress and SP rallies in the past

Voters of Rae Bareli Lok Sabha constituency seemed to be in for new entertainment every day. If it was a dance performance by local girls at a Congress election meeting, next day voters were entertained by local female singers at a Samajwadi Party rally. The dance show had caused a flutter in the high profile constituency, where Congress chief Sonia Gandhi was in fray in Lok Sabha by poll, and party MP Rahul Gandhi was held a "junior fellow" responsible for it.

On 28 April, 2006 in the midst of electioneering Sonia Gandhi’s Lok Sabha constituency, 1000 bar dancers met Rahul and demanded opening of dance bars in Rae Bareli or some other job for them. These were only few, living in the area.

Romeo and Juliet

The story of young Romeo and Juliet has been fodder for some of the most beautiful ballet works in existence in Italy. So why not is their place in the constituencies of Italian origin Sonia and Italy born Rahul’?

Bush girls Barbara and Jenna

Bush girls Barbara and Jenna the twins were spotted at the “We Want Your Vote” dance music event at Chicago’s Sound-Bar, staying from just before midnight, when Bush was contesting for re-election, according to People magazine. The tour was named after a Freeland song called “We Want Your Soul.”

Dancers has met Sonia Gandhi

On 22 April , 2005 A group of bar girls from Mumbai met Congress president Sonia Gandhi, urging her to get the ban on dance bars lifted. The Maharashtra Government had refused to go back on its decision to close dance bars in the state but was open to rehabilitating dance girls.

Stepping further to wards bar dancers

As reported in Sept 29, 2005, for Rahul Gandhi, women's empowerment was the key to development. The young MP was planning to start a self-help group movement among the women of his constituency in the next couple of years.

Rahul did not want to stop. Using dancers in election campaign is his second step. The girls are no great dancers but they are doing legitimate work. In fact, these dances do not have half the vulgarity of dances like kanta laga that families see on television." Media person Jatin Gandhi adds, "The bars have bouncers and one cannot touch these girls. Depriving them of this livelihood would force them to sell their bodies for a pittance." Does Indian voters allow to see bellow the belt in public meetings?

Rajniti Ki Pavitra Ganga?

A livelier solution seemed to have been found in the past bye eletion when folk artist Baleshwar, composer of many Sonia ditties, and his troupe took to the stage to keep the crowds regaled. Baleshwar has cut a disc - Sonia Gandhi, Rajniti Ki Pavitra Ganga. Because of these Baleshwars, Raj kapoor’s made film: Ram Teri Ganga Maili. In 1986, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi inaugurated the government's first environmental program, the Ganga Action Plan.

Is Dance a Cultural Event?

Chief Congress spokesperson Akhilesh Pratap Singh dubbed the performance as a “cultural event” and explained that party workers in their enthusiasm did a number of things for their leader. “Some take out rallies, some print posters. This is just an extension of that feeling. Workers are free to express themselves. This is not a crass show and should not be interpreted in the wrong way,” Mr Singh said.

At Maharajganj of Rebareli on May 5, 2005, “I have not come just to ask for your votes. This is an election that will decide certain basic issues and the direction the country’s politics will take,” Ms Gandhi said. Before this the stage was taken over by brightly dressed bar dance girls who gyrated for well over three hours to Hindi film and Punjabi pop numbers. Ms Gandhi had arrived after 3 pm for a meeting scheduled for 12.30 pm

Degradation of political ethics

Bar dancers have the capacity to pull and keep intact the crowd before the arrival of a leader, with their whirlwind dances, to the tunes of some of the hit movie songs. Mohini, one of these dancers, said that it was thrilling for them to dance on the tages, where great leaders addressed the gathering.

“We charge huge money a election program, which has a duration of three hours. We bear make-up kits, costumes and sound system. After meeting all these expenses we share among us. Since people were not much interested to listen to the speeches of politicians, the parties had to entertain them by hiring dancers.” Sonia and Rahul Gandhi can speech in the roads but their speeches are not suitable for big gatherings. So bar dancers will come like a boon for Congress in coming assembly election of Uttar Pradesh also. 

Is this a clear indication of the degradation of political ethics in India?

We shall see another type of dance in coming election

 

A friend of mine went to vote. He was committed for the construction of Ram Temple on birth place of Ram and he wanted to vote for the BJP. He was a funny guy he always made jokes. This was how he told me about his experience which would be followed in coming election of UP also:

"I went to vote at about 3.30 pm. A guy juicing a mango and a few polling agents (women and men) were dancing on the other side to some loud local dance music...they told me voting is over...My friend told them ‘Look it is 3.30...voting is until 5..’...they told him ‘oh don't worry. Some one is voted for you and "..

 

My friend gets angry and shouted "Voted for me?! Who told him to vote for me?? They told him "Our party’s cadre voted for you. we will win.. come and dance with us".. my friend  told them I didn't want to vote for the party to whom voted some one.. I wanted to vote for what I believed in...... they gave him a mango and told him not to tell anyone !!!

This generally happens time to time many places in India especially in UP and Bihar.
