Surat:
Gujarat
Congress said it would now rethink
its own strategy
Surat-based chaiwala charged Keshubhai Patel
5 rupees for a cup of tea, as chaiwala was not aware of who Keshubhai Patel
was. The shocking development created ripples among the Congress Party leaders
who were expecting some magic from Keshubhai in the upcoming Gujarat Elections.
"Aitley
Keshobhai's magic faded," said senior leader of Congress Party Shankarsingh
Waghela, who is trying to deliver some of the promises which even Narendra Modi
affraid of giving.
He said
"We thought Keshobhai was enough che for doing all the hazaamat of
disgracing Narendra Modi, but now we are seriously concerned about our
strategy. If a paltry chaiwala doesn't recognise him then how other Gujaratis would
know him? It's disgraceful and he just thrashed all our hopes."
However,
Keshubhai was optimistic and said "It is a start of campaign for elections
and will be ended after the elections. It will start again after 5 years and
then go on till the demon will get lost of Gujarat."
Chaiwala,
Ramulal Sodawala said "I was not aware who was he when I asked 5 rupees, a
person accompanying with him told me that don't I know him. He was next chief
minister of Gujarat and I should be shameful of asking 5 rupees from him. Who
will pay me my money?"
A political
survey conducted by famous celebrity surveyor Yogendra Yadav suggested that
Keshubhai Patel was known to voters when he was 68 years old, age that is known
as young age for any kind of politician and not now.
"Keshubhai
was famous in his early teenage (40-60 years) and became more popular when he chose
to become 65 years old, but now he is not recognised by his family itself,"
said Political Analyst Yogendra Yadav.
Yogendra
Yadav also consulted with Patel's neighbours who were confused why this old man
is roaring for. However, people in the native place of Keshubhai said that they
heard this name in 1990s when they thought he was a kind of savior for their
businesses.
Sitaram
Patel, Keshubhai's neighbor that time said "Aitley maate anne Keshubhai's
pant was so loose that it used to fell down whenever he raised his hands
talking about the development of Gujarat. Anne he was used to drink pineapple
juice with me but now for long time I haven't heard his name."
Few
Gujaratis are yet to know what was he exactly doing during this period.
"Many
asked me who was Keshubhai and what was he doing during the last 10
years," said Yogendra Yadav.
He said
"Few also told me that it was Keshuchand Aatmaram Patel who was cleaning
the canals that Modi laid for Narmada river."
Yogendra
Yadav said "Keshubhai has to become fast and very fast popular to get
recognised and to really try to win at least his own seat in Gujarat. He can
try for instant popularity by using some mean mesures such as fast unto death
for few days, etc."
