CurrentAffairs: Supriya Sule needs to be given Narco-Analysis test?
Amul's 1986-87 advt. when Pawar returned as Maharashtra C.MSo after years of dilly dallying and to-ing and fro-ing Supriya Sule (Sharad Pawar's daughter) has jumped into Politics. Cousin Ajit Pawar, we hear, is not amused. Only time will tell how this particular family drama will unfold, but a little bird tells us that Ajit may break away, a la Raj Thackeray, if he feels Supriya is getting away with all the cream.
And cream there is a plenty. Sharad Pawar once famously claimed (after being exasperated with accusations of unimaginable stash of wealth) that his family had always been well off and landed, and that if someone gave him a sum of Rs.400 crore, he would sell him all he had. But no one in Maharashtra quite believes that’s all of Mr.Pawar's net worth. Estimates range from the plausible to the wild, but people have always believed Mr.Pawar is worth at least a few thousand crores and many believe a bulk of it to be illegitimate.
So if Maharashtrians are shocked by the outing of the Telgi CD, its only because they are getting to hear Telgi taking Pawar's and Bhujbal's name on T.V. Not because people were shocked of Mr.Pawar's alleged graft.
It's unfortunate (for Supriya) that the revelations have hit her brightest moment. But many people thought she had not been very bright to claim that "she hadn't discussed her Rajya Sabha nomination with her father" or that she deserved the seat because of "her hard work". Even a kid woudn't believe Ms.Sule's entry is not because of her lineage. Maharashtrians also got to know the same day (when she had to file her income statement to stand for election) that Ms.Sule was worth a staggering 40 crore . Of course, if she is worth that much without pursuing any professional/business activity, the "hard work" she has done (of inheriting the wealth from her father/hubby) must indeed be very hard!
So we propose the matter of how Sule acquired this wealth be settled through another narco analysis test- this time Supriya's own. It would be another round of "hard work" for her, but me thinks it's worth it. What do you think?
