Who will win BIHAR .. 'Let the last Vote get counted'

-



This Bihar election is the first major election since the Covid 19 pandamic disrupted the political
calender and prompted sweeping measures for social distencing. The three Phase Bihar Poll for 243 Vidhan Sabha seats was completed on the 7th. The turnout for the poll as per media report was 58%. Today is the vote counting day. By the time the sun sets today , the dawn  of the next political regime in the State will emerge. Will this dawn usher in a new political 'don' or  the "Sarkar Raj" will continue  with  their  "All is Well " narrative for another 4 years.

Will PM Modi, the over used "trump card" political campainer for NDA  be able  to push  back JDU- BJP led alliance once again into rulling Bihar for another four year terms or will he   concede defeat without playing and  crying foul.  Well whatever be the outcome of today's polling verdict, the politics of vendetta and vilifying the  poor will continue.

The problem of unemployment, the plight of farmers, the reverse  exodus of migrant labourers together with booming crime rate and  its growing political nexus has taken away even the bare economic diginity of the common man in Bihar. This State as always  in everyway stands as an illusteration of India's demographic disaster.  PM Modi in all his electioneering campaign kept talking of the 15 years of "junggle Raj" in the State before the NDA era  but  never spoke anything about  the last 15 years of "jungglee Raj" in th State . However as usual  his political rants on  Nationalisim, Article 370 and Phullwama remaind unstoppable.

Tejashwi Yadav is  the 31 year old CM candidate projected by the RJD led Maha-Ghattbandagan, .whereas in the NDA and JDU  led alliance  the CM Nitish Kumar neither gets mentioned as   CM candidate nor figures in any of the Party's bill boards and posters that looks like creepers spread all over  Patna.

 Elections and political campaigning have today  become the survivial kit for our Democracy but Social justice, the soul  of our Democracy  remains  reduced to  academics  that get discussed and debated over our National Media.

Well all said by the close of the day today, as scheduled we will know who  Bihar  will pick up to rule the State for the  next 4 years .Going by the trend it will  be the "YOUTH" but then you never know till the last vote get counted

AFRICAN SAFARI.....a Book Review

-

  "African Safari" is an intriguing title for a book that nowhere talks of  any expeditions to animal kingdom in the jungles of Africa. This book is about a cigar smoking business tycoon , a multibillion and multinational conglomerate whose business interest goes beyond his inherited empire of liquor and beer industries and spreads across industries  as diverse  as Airlines, Pharma, Paints, textiles to name a few. The media across the globe dub him as "King of good times".  "African Safari " is the story of "Rana Kapoor" the business tycoon and his business ventures in the French speaking regions of Africa, a continent that is fast emerging as world's big time growth market. The book takes us through  intricacies of clinching  business deals.  It talks about how political lobbying and networking with people in high places and bankers collaborate and become a blue print for M&A  stories. The book tells you that stories of business ventures

Giving words to my thoughts...

I  am returning to this space after 2 years and past 242 posts .It doesn't mean that I have lost my itch  for writing. I have always loved  scribbling words that give voice to the way I look at a situation, or to the way I feel about anything on the ground and under the sky. . My   view  may or may not matter  to the rest. However for me it remains a  mark of my own creativity. My creativity is more about visualizing things that  seldom see the light of the day.   Some call this  “Daydreaming” . I don't mind if people call me  a “wandering mind.” Neither I am bothered about the stigma called  “laziness” attached to it.  I see it as a tonic that energizes me  to think  beyond the realm of possibility For instance no matter how much  ever  I would have   chased my dreams  of becoming a corporate tycoon  I would never have been one simply because I would then lose the privilege and intimacy of being around with familiar and friendly faces sipping beer in crowded bar. I don't l
