Daltonganj, Nov 10: A lizard in the poll meeting of Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, who was here in Palamu on Saturday campaigning for Alok Kr Chourasiya, the BJP candidate for the Daltonganj assembly constituency, kept a section of the gathering most concerned about the lizard.
Everyone there wished it caused no harm to anyone. The lizard must have the same feeling to get out of the battery of boots of the crowd of people there in Himanta’s programme.
The lizard disturbed a band of journalists so much that a resident editor, Rana Arun Singh, of the very long-standing daily Hindi broadsheet newspaper Rashtriya Navin Mail, had to shift himself from the congested first row to the buffer zone of the rows of the chair for the whole session of Himanta Biswa Sarma’s programme.
Lizard’s menacing movement
The lizard continued its menacing movement, sometimes threatening to come too close to the journalists’ shoes and sometimes waiting for further dangerous advancements.
The Jharkhand Story correspondent was there too to feel the tricks of the lizard. This correspondent had to keep both the legs high in air sitting in the chair like any acrobat.
Once Himanta Biswa Sarma came, an hour late, everyone turned towards him as this Assam chief minister knows how to keep the public engrossed in the trivialities of politics.
Himanta on ‘Ghuspaithiya’
Himanta uttered the ‘Ghuspaithiya’ word 10 times in his 35-minute speech. And he used the word ‘Choon, Choon kar bhaga dengeyn’.
Himanta when he was in Hussainabad a week or some ago, there for campaigning for Kamlesh Kumar Singh, had said ‘Laat maar maar kar yahan sey ghus paithiya ko bhaga dengeyn.”
Political analysts have reacted to the Assam chief minister’s utterances, saying, “What should a man choose who holds a constitutional post? A chief minister swears by the Constitution of India and not by the party’s bylaws. When there is a Law to deal with the infiltration, where do you need to physically kick them out? Law is supreme before Laat. Laat can never be a substitute for Law.”
