Kislai's Misfortune
Those who might be wondering, Kislai is a DPS Patna student, son of an income tax official, who is the latest victim of yet another kidnapping, the only flourishing industry in Bihar. After doctors, they have turned to students now.
In a commendable effort to get their friend released, Kislai's classmates went with a request to Laloo Prasad Yadav. But here, poor souls learned yet another lesson. He spurned them, refusing to meet, and later got them kicked out through his brother-in-law. That there is jungle raj in Bihar, dawned too soon upon them. That Laloo is a first rate criminal has become very obvious to them.
See, I am not slipping into another, now stylish and stereotyped, Bihar bashing. Contrary to misconception, there is no problem with the people there. The problem lies with the people ruling them for last fifteen years. Outsider may wonder why people keep sending him back to rule, but fail to see the underlying reasons.
Actually, there is absolutely no choice. A person with integrity and honourable intentions won't be allowed to stand elections. Even if such person does able to somehow stand, state machinery and thugs will insure full time rigging. See what happened to the likes of Prakash Jha, Rusy Modi et al. Why only state machinery, even EC let off Laloo by merely warning when he was found breaching code of conduct by distributing money.
Such is the lack of belief that Sharad Yadav wanted the polling to be cancelled from Madhepura alleging mass rigging. Later, to the pleasant shock of Sharad, he actually won the seat. But like what Laloo himself said, 'Jab Tak Rahega Samose Mein Laloo, Bihar Mein Rahega Laloo'. He and his goons will insure that.
I must say, though, that DPS students did the right thing by trying to plead to Laloo. Like Sushil Modi, the opposition leader, once said that there is no need to go to the police. If Laloo wishes, all kidnapped could be released. After all, he is the mastermind who actually pulls the strings.
It's not long ago when a famous Patna NRI neurosurgeon got released withing three days when Doctor Association's pleaded with Laloo. Then there was another who was release even without police raid or paying ransom.
Logic is simple. If kidnapping has been done by a gang affiliated to Laloo's party, and there is hue and cry, the victim will get released without any fuss on Laloo's order. On the other hand, if some other political party is involved, by tapping just a few phone calls of the MLAs, a police raid can be conducted.
But since it's an election time, and politicos need money for campaigning, kidnappings has increased. Laloo understands this, that's why he does not want to meddle into the affair. Agar Janwar Charey Se Hi Dosti/Dushmani Kerley To Khaiga Kya! This is Kislai's misfortune.
