 LALOO
PRASAD YADAV
No Indian politician gets as much attention – and as much bad
press -- as this maverick from Bihar's badlands. He is lampooned
on television, reviled by the urban baba log, abused by political
rivals. Time he woke up to the need for a new approach to politics |
|
 SHEKHAR
SUMAN
The Jay Leno wannabe is a sad replica. He talks nineteen to the
dozen, mimics national leaders and shows off an impressive wardrobe
on his TV talk shows, but never rises above the level of mediocrity.
Shekhar is simply painful! |

 NARENDRA
MODI
The man who fiddled while Gujarat burnt would need more than just
an image makeover to be accepted by civil society as a politician
who can be trusted

 SUNNY
DEOL
They call him an actor. The dichotomy is he can do anything but
act. But Sunny Deol's is a helluva nice bloke. Hence we would love
to see him raise the bar a bit. But is he capable?

 JAYALALITHA
She is seen as India's Imelda Marcos thanks to the reach of Sun
TV. But surely she couldn't be as bad as she is generally made out
to be. Her media managers need to work overtime to rescue the Lady
of Poes Garden from the dumps |
|
 MAMATA
BANERJEE
The tantrum lady has done it a bit too often for her own good. There
are few who are willing to support her today, not even one-time
confidant Ajit Panja |

 NAVJOT
SINGH SIDHU
His Sidhuisms are anything but cricket. When you are watching a
good contest between the bat and ball, the retired willow-wielder
insists on showing off his grasp on the Queen's lingo with a string
of analogies picked up in high school |
|
 BAL
THACKEREY
His one-point agenda is too clear to bear repetition. The liberal
press rightly hates him, the Hindutva types swear by him, but will
history remember him as anything more than a destructive, shameless
rabble-rouser fond of fighting counterfeit wars? |
|
 INDIPOP
SINGERS
They can't sing. So what? They look good and can dance a bit. That's
good enough for the albums they cut and the music videos they feature
in. Time perhaps for them to raise themselves a few notches and
seek real musical glory – or just leave us alone |
