Taslima Nasreen gets to stay back in India but at what price!

Narendra Modi's biggest asset is his vote bank balance!

Narendra Modi declared his assets,

which surprisingly is at around 40 lakh!

Being the powerful CM of an affluent state like Gujarat,

this amount looks meagre.

But, may be the people of Gujarat are not surprised at all.

I was speaking to Midday's political editor, Deepak Lokhande

and he came up with some interesting things.

He says the biggest asset of Narendra Modi is his clean image.

Any attempt to dethrone him would not succeed unless it involves corruption.

Modi has been maintaining a clean image and

they prefer to ignore his anti-muslim stance.

Coach selection shocks the Indian cricket team!

Why the media is so obsessed with BCCI?

Because BCCI never disappoints the media.

Whatever they do, they blunder and make headlines.

After staying away from the coach selection issue for sometime,

they surprised all of us with a secret coach selection interview.

But the sad part is even the players were kept in dark.

To go by the reports, BCCI managed to shock the Indian cricket team

with the surprise selection of Garry Kirsten!

If politicians start doing SRK at cricket matches!

What will happen if the statues come to life suddenly?

An Illustration done for Bhejafry column.

The columnist was wondering, what will happen

when the statues in Mumbai come to life suddenly!

What makes Taslima so different from MF Hussain, for BJP?

There's no reason for BJP to offer Taslima Indian citizenship
or stop MF Hussain from entering his own country,
except the vote bank politics!
Both will help BJP gain some more votes.
But that's what matters to political parties!
That's the reason why leftists, so called secularists,
bundled Taslima out of Kolkatta.
They feared a backlash from Muslim votebank!
This is the way issues are going to be handled in this country.
This is the way the nation is going to be managed in this country!
Which votebank do you belong to?

Why don't the politicians spare Mumbai?

Mayawati nurtures PM dreams, there's no doubt.
Unless she reaches the national platform in a big way,
that dream won't take off.
One destination which can support her dream is
Maharashtra, with a sizeable dalit population.
And she was in Mumbai trying to fill the famous Shivaji Park, with her supporters.
Though, she failed to fill the park, still managed to make a strong statement.

But what bothers me is the way political parties use Mumbai for rallies
and hold the Mumbaikars to ransom. BSP party supporters threw the city out of gear causing so much damage everywhere. They have defaced the city's flyovers, bridges, walls, stations and literally every inch of the city, with posters, wall writings etc.
Isn't it time to spare this city from such ordeals?
Mumbai being the commercial capital of the nation, doesn't deserve to be treated like this
