The importance of being a Bihari ...

Life comes a full circle it is said and recent events in the Indian political firmament tend to agree with it. Elections are soon going to be held for Bihar Assembly and politicians of all hues have started making the right noises. It was not at all surprising to hear Rahul Gandhi making a valid point about the contribution of NSG commandos who were from UP and Bihar as also from various other states of India. Well nothing wrong with that sttaement but for the fact that Congress Party is in power in Maharastra and it has shown the most spineless behavior in dealing with hooligans like Raj Thackeray and others of his ilk. Why has Rahul Gandhi remembered Biharis only now that the elections are due in Bihar and has he in the past done anything to suggest that he was at all concerned by the attacks on North Indians in Mumbai.Maybe I am being cynical and Rahul Gandhi is not like your average politician but one does hope that Rahul Gandhi's love and concern for Biharis does not end with the polling in Bihar.
