Anil Ambani is the lady killer politician

Bhopal: Ladies, beware ! Forget Shahrukh, Salman and Hrithik who impress many a women - both married and unmarried - on the celluloid alone. Here comes lady killer, this time, from among the politicians. Guess who, he is a business tycoon too ! Yes, he is none other than the one, and the only one, Anil Ambani.
This fact has come to light following a survey put up on the portal whispersinthecorridors.com in its News and Views section. The portal quite popular among the country's decision makers - be they the politicians or the bureaucrats - is known for its alacrity when it comes to transmitting the news about the `powers that be'.
Even its Editor, Dr. Suresh Mehrotra, had while posting the question never imagined that response for Ambani would be so overwhelming. "I had never thought that Ambani would outnumber others that too by such a huge margin" says Mehrotra.
The respondents were asked to post their choice from among the 12 young faces in politics viz. Rahul Gandhi, Sandeep Dixit, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Anil Ambani, Arun Jaitley, Varun Gandhi, Sachin Pilot, Dayanidhi Maran, Dushyant Singh, Manvendra Singh, Milind Deora and Omar Abdullah.
And the respondents, over 1000, intruiguingly enough, fell for the suave and soft Anil Ambani leaving all the Baba Logs (youngsters) far behind. The response in favour of Ambani, believe it, was a whopping 90 per cent leaving the so called charming ones like Gandhis and Scindia far behind, though the reasons behind falling for Ambani were different.
While some favoured him as a potential ladykiller politician because they thought that he is smart, others were impressed by his perfection. Some voted for him simply because of his wealth. They think that the one who is wealthy has all the qualities in itself. Take for instance a comment saying, "jiske hath main paisa, uske haath mein waise hi satta (power)". Karlo usko mutthi main aur sirf usme hai woh baat were the compliments for Ambani who has been considered an all round performer and who would not love to like the one who is apt at performing - whatever the place may be.
While over 90 per cent respondents favoured Ambani, the remaining 11 poor chaps finished off within 10 per cent with Rahul Gandhi bagging favour of about three per cent respondents and his cousin Varun Gandhi only Two per cent.
Of course, Jyotiraditya Scindia and Omar Abdullah were also seen as a lady killer politician but by only a handful of respondents. The others in the competition also garnered some votes for themselves but they could be counted on fingers.

FORUM

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Manmohan (Man) says when he returns he will speak to the Commies and settle matters,
Hope he speaks to the sensible lot and not to the mad hatters.

Montek says he has a formula …formula that cannot be rejected,
All the Foreign Advisors will take up active Membership of CPM…Commies will chorus, " Accepted",

Though ,' Let me tell you' Bardhan says Commies will not accept anything short of the Advisors sack,
Montek is hopeful….he says that once his formula is accepted Commies will welcome the Foreign Advisors back.

Nobody is considered a foreigner once he or she is a Commie….inconsequential,
Having the Commie bent of mind and priorities is what is essential.

If this succeeds Sonia will say on matters of origin please heed Communism,
Being a Congressman …this would be blatant opportunism.

Man say Mush broke ice on Saichen…….some thaw in attitude,
Soldiers on both sides will look at this with gratitude.

Report card of this meeting….no derogatory remarks and no deterioration in relations,
Neither cause for any laments nor for any celebrations.

Man refused to cut a birthday cake,
Not even for the Media's sake.

But he did hold up a balloon to keep his entourage's heart,
He had made his feelings on not celebrating his birthday be known at the very start.

NCP means Non Consistent Pawar….now he says Sonia was acceptable as PM….what a U turn??
Post elections rest assured he will resume his original Sonia spurn.

Could Uma return to MP as CM……some say it is possible,
Though Gaur and his supporters say that this is not plausible.

Uma says that Amrinder used his b/law to disrupt her Yatra…..says she will take revenge from Raja,
Says she will work to get him put behind bars…Raja ka bajaa doongi band baaja.

Amrinder is on a holiday in Manali…..holidaying when his Party is in the grip of elections!!!
Amrinder has always been known to be erratic in his priority selections.

Hulka Fulka…..Pawar has thrown in his hat for BCCI Presidency elections,
Once he is President - Laloo will be doing the team selections.

But, if Pawar wins Dalmiya can kiss his Patronship goodbye,
This is one thing that Pawar will surely defy.

Couturier R. Rathore has designed a dress for Man on his birthday….will give Man the 'in' look,
Attempt to make the cover match the contents of the book.

OBE Om Puri's King Of Bollywood is a flop,
But Om's acting still keeps him on the top.

Dev Anand is 81…..evergreen Anand….secret of his youthful longevity,
Always keeping himself busy in his film making activity.

Dev also likes to choose a new heroine for every film he makes,
And when it comes to the lovey - dovey scenes Dev holds the record for retakes.

Shekar Suman has grown a beard …to travel incognito……..Police all over India want to take revenge,
He made them into a laughing stock on Poll Tol and this they want to avenge.

Sahara TV will be re-launched as Sahara One at a cost of Rs.1500 crores,
Hope this will make it into the Channel that interests from the Channel that bores.
