Few days back when i was reading through the news paper, news about Sanjay Dutt contesting the elections on SP's ticket grabbed my attention. This news certainly had a element of glamour in it. Of course the 'Munna Bhai' factor and perhaps this would be same reason that they are thinking of staging Munna as their party man in the election. The Munna effect can grab the layman and ensure that he would stamp for Munna . Of course these are those set of people who participate in elections just for the sake of it. Let’s have a retrospection of Sanjay. Though there were times in his career that could really tear it down, he still managed to make it to the top in his field. The effects of his movies where tricking down and reached all sections of people. The latest of the series Hits with him playing as Munna was restoring the lost glory of Gandian values. People found the magic that non-violence can create. Well that’s looking from his career perspective. But when his personal life is looked on, it seems like a wretched story. The involvement in the Bombay riots, the possession of arms and trail of another incidents which few days back ended him in Jail with the media crying out for the Sanjay Bhai's innocence all are bright in our memories. But Crime is crime and there is no escape. With such an history of broken personal charisma the real question would be is he really strong to lead people morally and can the people look at him as a leader for future, at least form hia constituency. May be or may not be. I don’t know.
Any way that’s a question that future will answer. But i got the real shock I got was when I heard that Sanjay would not be able to contest due to legal hurdles (may be,he would) and SP is looking his wife as a alternative with Sanjay campaigning for her. This shows how much importance we are giving to leaders of future who will drive the country. This shows how low morale the political parties can have while selecting a leader. It clearly shows it’s not that they are believe Sanjay as a leader who can be the voice of millions, but their faith with Sanjay who with a tag Bollywood could turn the election results in favour of the respective party. This attitude of the political parties to win at any cost by contesting quality less glamour leaders who really can’t be the leaders should be rechecked. This not only gives us a light towards the future with strong leaders to guide us but also helps our country to be as strong as what we dream of her to be.
Jai Hind.
