Disclaimer: This blog post is a humorous take on the Lok Sabha elections due over the next month and a half. There is no intent to hurt anyone's feelings (By the looks of it, debates are getting more heated day by day) or to comment on party manifestos / policies.

Through the link above, we also now know which side Tusshar Kapoor is on.

The Great Indian election - that once-in-a-5-year event, is upon us. This means different things for different people-For economists, its the chance to give economic forecasts and predict bond yields for the next 5 years, for the news channels, its showtime, for the poll analysts, its (number) crunch time, for the cricket fraternity and IPL, it is "shift-this-damn-tournament/film festival-to-another-country" time. In the past, we have seen the people either suffering from clogged roads (due to election rallies), or obtaining the once in a 5-year-bonus electrical appliance (TV/Mixer/grinder) around this time. All said and done, this is one of the most keenly followed elections in a long time, and the level of debate and interest shown by everyone, especially the youth, is good to see.
Generally, the fortunes of the movie industry have not shown much correlation with elections (at least as far as I can remember). Movie stars, however, have shown more inclination than cricketers to jump into the electoral fray. (As far as I am aware, the grand total of ex-cricketers contesting elections this time is 3, Mohd. Azharuddin, Kirti Azad and Mohd. Kaif).
From the film industry, we have quite a few names this time around, as usual. We have Shotgun Sinha as usual from Patna. Many a noisy situation in the Lok Sabha can be controlled with Shotgun just saying "Khamossh". Hema Malini has kept up the family representation by contesting from Mathura, thereby upping the glam quotient. The "Dream Girl" tune should be enough to capture the entire 40+ votebank.
We do have some new names in the political fray this time around. The celebrity contest of this season is Kirron Kher versus Gul Panag from Chandigarh. And the celebrity twitter war is already on. Refer to the link below:

From Serampur in West Bengal, we have...wait for it....Bappi Lahiri. So yes, presence guaranteed (musical or otherwise). Given the amount of gold he wears, one should question Bappi Da on the need to increase duty on gold imports. On a side note, we have a magician (Yes, an actual magician) contesting elections, from West Bengal. PC Sorcar, in a lighter vein, has wished to use his magic to make bad politicians disappear. Oh well!

From Ahmedabad East, its Paresh Rawal aka Babu Bhaiya aka Teja contesting the elections. I wonder if the voting mark will be placed on the cheek, instead of on the finger, in this particular instance.
As far as the South goes, politics and cinema have an almost symbiotic relationship. A complete discussion may warrant a separate post, which I shall desist from. However, it is important to know that DMDK aka Gaptane's party is now a part of the NDA. This implies that The Gaptane can actually end up becoming the defence minister, if the NDA comes to power. And that, ladies and gentlemen, shall be a great day in the history of India.

The other major development south of the Vindhyas is the supposed division of a family in Andhra Pradesh, which is anyways going to be divided this June. (Too much division I say). Power Star Pawan Kalyan (different from Power Star Dr. Sreenivasan), has launched his own party, and will be in direct competition with his elder brother Mega Star Chiranjeevi. Ohh well, this is still better than Giridhar Gamango and his wife being on opposing camps in Orissa. A mega powerful starry battle awaits.
May Battle Royale commence!
