Is a senior leader, who has served as Union minister.

He said, It is a political
conspiracy to
bring my name into controversy, so that I don get that responsibility. The Tragi
mahapanchayat was used to slam him badly. Sharma may not be off the mark if he
suspects that maligning him was the very purpose of the gathering. Then there are
organizations like the Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) which have supported the
mahapanchayat. The basic objective of the BKU is to safeguard farmers interests;
someone

issues not
politically and socially rewarding? Perhaps politicians and public figures feel
that the
answer is in the negative. Since politics has been reduced to unadulterated
realpolitik, and
winning elections has become purely a function of caste-community calculus, all
other
considerations wellbeing of people, the real issues, et al are largely seen as
unimportant.
What is really important is the vote. In the process, everything from propriety to
