The most visible, vocal and vituperative face of national politics
In Uttar Pradesh, Amar Singh, the enfant terrible of Samajwadi Party (SP) has devised a new strategy for his party and party supremo, Mulayam Singh Yadav. Lie low in the face of oppression unleashed by Mayawati – for instance the tactical attacks by the police on rallies led by SP leaders in Lucknow & elsewhere in the state – and use political issues to climb back on the bandwagon. Instead of consolidating on its own base in the state, use this opportunity to work on expanding the Third Front. These are Amar Singh’s pearls of wisdom.
So the Rajya Sabha member, Amar Singh, a close buddy of Amitabh Bachchan & Anil Ambani, has been maintaining a low profile since the SP lost in UP elections, is inching his way back. Being involved in the Third Front affairs has meant fending off attacks on Big Bachchan by Raj Thakeray and offering comments on the ‘Chat’ festival for all people of eastern Indian origin.
The question being asked here is what role would Amar Singh play for Bachchan? He has already introduced Amitabh in the same Barabanki village where Big B had purchased land controversially and which the great actor has now donated to the village. A school for girls has been established there, named appropriately after Aishwarya Rai. He is paving the road for the Big B to resurface into politics’ electoral arena. More importantly, Amar Singh was instrumental in launching a loose Third Front on the stage by no less than Bachchan himself with leading heavyweight politicos like Chandrababu Naidu in attendance.
A casual observer watching the meeting would have deduced that Bachchan had joined the Third Front informally. Mohan Singh, SP MP, told B&E: “There is no doubt that Amar Singh has a big role to play in the Third Front. The way he has raised issues, certainly the party will benefit in UP and the Third Front in the rest of the country.”
Amar Singh is also playing an important role in getting together the likes of Naidu, Farooq Abdullah, Omprakash Chauthala and other rather disparate elements of the so-called Third Front together, no mean task that. In addition, Amar Singh is good friend of the Leftists, whose support will be critical in the eventuality of a Third Front forming a government. “The next general elections will be categorised by the emergence of the Third Front, so we remain optimistic,” TDP’s Yerran Naidu, told B&E.
Some questions seek answers. While the man is planning so many things in the rest of the country, what about Uttar Pradesh? In Amar Singh’s schemes of things, the caste arithmetic has already come into play, never mind, if there is no election on the horizon.
There is an all out attempt to tie up with the Thakurs to develop an OBC-Thakur alliance on the lines of Mayawati’s Brahman-Dalit tie-up. To that end, attempts are made in to rope in a Thakur each from as many families as possible by giving them primary memberships of the party. To have Bachchan on your side would mean roping in Kayasth votes, or so thinks Amar Singh. Clearly, the portly little man is not sitting idle.
