Poster war and the Elderly Brahmin!

By Manuwant  Choudhary

'2020 hatao Nitish' is already viral. And now more posters across Patna...a visualisation of a greedy Nitish Kumar.

So I decided to do a survey and most rickshawpullers said they would vote for Laloo. "Saheb lalooji haarte bhee hain phir bhee hum unhein hee vote dete Hain. "

The poor have mostly voted rjd. The business class traditionally bjp are divided now or at least they are debating on why its time to reconsider their core politics .

On an e rickshaw ride i said we must bring laloo back . An elderly gentleman sitting beside me was moved . "I am elderly and a brahmin but i feel like touching your feet."

I was surprised since brahmins rarely vote laloo. Mr. Giri explained how he was a soldier in the Indian army and from his meagre pension he built some rooms illegally from which he earned 3000 rupees. "Lalooji ko bhee pata thaa humara lekin wo use todwaye nahin .Nitish ne sab tod daala humara bhee aur jinka legal thaa uska bhee".

Now Mr. Giri does puja in peoples homes to make ends meet ."My wife is a nurse at PMCH but every morning after she gets ready for work she takes money from me for the rickshaw. Her salary comes only at the end of the month ."

"I am originally from Sonepur but i crossed the ganga because i could not have children . And then like magic i had five sons ....one after the other ... rukta hee nahin thhaa...Iss gareeb ka bojh badh gaya . Aur sab nalaayak nikle. "

"Lekin sabse nalayak to nitish kumar hai. Daaroo band kar diya usne. "
"Saheb daroo to mil hee raha hai. Do glass to pee ke aaya hoon ek sau rupaye mein. Koi pakde mujhe."

And then he looked reflectively. "Duniya kisi ke rokne se ruktee nahin hai. Duniya to chaltee rehtee hai. Aur daroo bhee. Agar koi vyakti ya sarkar duniya  ko rok saktee to pralay ho jaayega."
