Sanjay Dutt's crap

We all know that there is a big unending chain of incapable and uncreative political leaders in India. Sanjay Dutt added himself in that league yesterday by giving his debut speech. As always, he looked unprepared for his highly celebrated 'gandhigiri' stunt, at first I thought he was on medication or "high". As expected, in his small real life appearance ( which by the way is more difficult and real than the usual cinematic appearances ) Sanjay showed his lack of understanding about issues in India. And I believe this is not his fault. How can you expect someone who has spent his life in living a lavish style understand the problems of a common man ? Wearing Samajwadi Party's ( which is going to be the next most highly desired place for actors / actresses who have pending cases against them) laal topi, Sanjay addressed a big crowd that he came here not to give speeches but to work. Instead of telling how his political ambitions are helpful to the public of India, he wasted the time by giving crap about what his father has done for the country. I understand that when you do not have any points to put on table, you seek help from "mere pitaji" like fillers, but he should know that not everyone is as dumb as those who attended the rally in Lucknow.

There has always been discussions if a party should allow a candidate of criminal background to campaign for elections but these discussions always ended with no decision. I believe, majority of people in Indian Democracy are still blind, if they are not, then they would not have gathered in such a large number. Movie / Cricket stars in India are praised to such a high level that people start thinking them as real life heroes, capable of doing anything anytime - single handedly. If we see the history of politics, southern India has given many film star come politicians who are found to be negligibly concerned about politics. Many of them actually are not even serious in attending parliamentary discussions. No wonders, why Govinda, Jaya Bachhan, Dharmendra get notices for their very low attendance in houses. Besides I seriously doubt their intellectual understanding about the issues that are discussed in meetings. You do not need to be a Ph.D. to be a member of parliament, but at least you should have experienced something in your life which will make you considerate about people's problems. Someone who has no idea of what is going on, is next to a useless creature in such discussion.

I did not see how news channels spread this news, but certainly some of them must have showed how Sanjay Dutt is close to Mahatma Gandhi ( come on, there has to be something in Sanjay's life which bears exact similarity to what happened with Gandhi, you don't know - he might have fought for prisoner's rights when he was arrested ) or how he has transformed into an actual person ( which to some sharp minds counter intuitively suggest what he WAS NOT earlier ) after his TADA case and all. Some of them might have showed Sanjay's photos feeding a beggar on streets, or donating for an orphanage. Some channels might be broadcasting this as a breaking news - Sanjay Dutt ki Gandhigiri, parde ka mahatma ab aam jindagi me . I will not be astonished to see this news some day - Sanjay Dutt elected as a MoP defeating ( someone like Ram Naik ) by 40,000 votes in loksabha elections. I would also not be surprised if Mohammad Azharuddin gets elected with similar majority. I better not comment on what will happen - some wise mind has already said it before - which aptly applies to mentality of Indian public -

I liked the way u spotted out the headlines of our pathetic news channels....... Quite interesting... and u know i completely agree that we idolize our filmy heroes and cricketers .. and our movies show all these foreign locations which do not reflect true india...
I believe our politics is no less than a circus...
Keep writing such blogs !!!

yor are very much correct.The political parties like samajwadi party which flaunts candidates like sanjay dutt are also not worthy.Sanjay had lived most of his life in Mumbai and is not aware of the problems faced by people in lucknow and he has been elected to contest from lucknow.Again instead of gathering the problems faced by lucknow people and trying to find some solutions for it,he gave a filmy speech.It will be a fitting reply if people of Lucknow defeat him with a huge margin.Jaago indian janta jaago.

As a matter of fact.. Most of our politicians don't discuss or put forward the real issues which would affect us, let alone offering a wise solution. Election rallies are to promise, TV, free food, Ram Mandir, Ram sethu..
Have you ever heard any politician discuss the impact of recession on India and how they will tackle it?? What are the problems with our Edu/Agri systems and how they will fix it today for a prosperous tomorrow.. NO coz they are too busy advertising their PM candidates.. and fixing up their alliances which would allow them to con us more.
