राजनीती में हीरोगिरी करने उतरे राज बब्बर १२ रुपये में खाने की दलील देकर समाज में विलेन और पार्टी में कामेडियन बन कर रह गए
राजनीती में हीरोगिरी करने उतरे फिल्म स्टार राज बब्बर १२ रुपये में भरपेट खाने की दलील देकर समाज में विलेन और राजनीती में कामेडियन बन कर रह गए |उनके इस ब्यान से सत्ता रुड कांग्रेस ने एक नए अंदाज में किनारा कर लिया है| प्रेस कांफ्रेंस बुलाने में माहिर कांग्रेस महासचिव व मीडिया विभाग के अध्यक्ष अजय माकन ने सोशल साईट ट्विटर पर एक लाईन ट्विट करके पार्टी की छवि सुधारने का प्रयास किया है उन्होंने लिखा है कि
कुछ नेताओं की तरफ से 12 रुपये और पांच रुपये में खाना मिलने के बयान से मैं सहमत नहीं हूं
बात यहीं पर ही नही रुकी मिडिया और सत्ता में बने रहने के शौकीन नेशनल कांफ्रेंस के नेता डॉ फारुख अब्दुल्लाह ने तो एक रुपये में रोटी की बात कह कर केंद्र सरकार के प्रति अपनी वफादारी दिखाने में देर नही लगाई लेकिन आज उन्होंने भी अपने बयाँ पर खेद जता कर पल्ला झाड़ लिया |
Political Fight For Roti
लेकिन राज्य सभा सदस्यरशीद मसूद अभी भी अपने ब्यान को तोड़ मोड़ कर उसी पर टिके हैं| कांग्रेस के रशीद मसूद ने पत्रकारों से बातचीत करते हुए कहा था कि दिल्ली के जामा मस्जिद इलाके में आप पांच रुपये में भरपेट खाना खा सकते हैं और आज स्थिति को बिगड़ता देख कर उन्होंने कहा है कि मैंने कब कहा कि ५ रुपयों में भरपेट खाना मिलेगा| आईये में एक रोटी और थोड़ी सी दाल पांच रुपये में दिला सकता हूँ |
कांग्रेस को शायद यह अंदाजा भी नही होगा कि उसके नेताओं की इस ब्यान बाजी से पार्टी और सरकार की इतनी फजीहत होगी।
इस मसले को लेकर बुधवार, गुरुवार और शुक्रवार तक कांग्रेस पर चौतरफा इतने हमले हुए कि हीरो राज बब्बर को विपक्ष और मीडिया ने विलेन बना कर रख दिया| इससे कांग्रेस की समझ में आ गया कि अपने नेताओं की इस ब्यान बाजी से पल्ला झाडना ही उचित होगा| शायद इसीलिए कांग्रेस की तरफ से इन नेताओं को दिशा निर्देश जारी किये गए हैं जिसके फलस्वरूप इन नेताओं ने अपनी जुबान को तोड़ मरोड़ना शुरू कर दिया है|
