STAR STRUCK...!

Well friends lets talk about the latest trend culminating this season - The collision of politics and film stars...all set to adorn the responsible positions of MPs. The emergence of bollywood stars in parliament has become rather an endemic. If we site the general elections of 2004 almost seven bollywood stars stood as candidtes either for Bharatiya Janata Party or Congrss. There were twenty nine bollywood actor & actresses who took part in the party campigning. The overwhelming share of glamour in politics is thought as a successful & effective mean of attracting voters. The political parties often strive to recruit bollywood stars for their campaigning purpose to mobilise the largest possible chunk of voters. With every election there seem the urgency to resort to the glamour for the campaigning.
Well politics have a major role to play in determining a country's future developements. It must have a depth & decorum, it is expected that the political leaders would perceive politics beyond the narrow role of a spectacle which is attached to it. It has been seen in past specialy in case of Sohern India the film stars play an importanat role in the region's all round developements. Hence their participation in the politics is much expected and welcomed but the scenario is different when we consider the case of north India. Bollywood stars participating in Politics are rather ignorant. With their blessed ignorance how effectively they could manage the constituencies they are fighting for is rather a big question mark. Most of them are not even familiar with the names of the constituencies leave alone their knowledge of the local language being spoken there of. With such minimal knowledge and zero experience is it at all safe to allow them stand for the elections.
With the popularity and glamour the stars possess its not quite difficult for them to win the elections. But this win emphasis keeping the future of the region at stake. Unavailibilty of them during emergencies, unallocation of funds send for the constituency & absence during parliament sessions are few to mention among the attributes of getting or rather achieving a bollywood star as a MP.
Yestur year actors like Dharmendra, Shatrughan Sinha,Vinod Khanna & Raj Babbar already adorn the parliament. To join the crew are actors like CHICHI and our very own MUNNABHAI. Well chichi's unavailibility during the mumbai emergencies already raised a lot of hue & cry since he stood from one of the constituencies from Mumbai itself. Will Sanjay Dutt be successful to cast his spell in politics is yet to be apprehended. So we can conviniently say that politics has become an effective harbourage for bollywood actors but how well they can fulfil thein obligations of acquiring such responsibility is utmost uncertain.
Being the citizen of the world's largest democracy i must put forth the question that do we deserve to be taken at stake???? The convinience with which the Political parties transfer our country's fate to such ignorant batch must be combated. Stars look good playing their cards on screen, with depressing examples of siting failures of these Filmstars in politics the country must be awaken to the truth and abort the possibility of ressurgence of bollywood stars in Politics.!
