So why is Lalu Yadav on Saregamapa?

Lalu Prasad Yadav will be on Saregamapa this weekend that promises to be fun. When most would dismiss him as an eccentric and a bit of a clown, I would still think of him as India’s newest management guru - the man who single-handedly brought about the seemingly impossible Indian Railways transformation. Easily India’s best performing minister in this cabinet.

A very unusual guest on Saregamapa - why is he on this show? Official word is that Zee TV is looking to build up stronger TRPs  in UP and Bihar - so that’s the theme of the show too - Ganga Kinare Waala.

But, then, that isn’t the real reason. It’s a bit of quid pro quo. It all has to do with the BCCI vs. Indian Cricket League confrontation.  Early this month Sharad Pawar went on to promote Shashank Manohar as his heir to the BCCI throne. And that annoyed Lalu that he offered Railways’ cricket grounds to Zee’s ICL. He went on to instruct J.P Yadav (and even Sanjay Bangar)  to join the league.

Subhas Chandra and Zee need a lot of favours from Lalu in the next few days in setting up the ICL. And Lalu’s appearance on Zee TV’s Saregamapa, is a clear indication to Sharad Pawar that his BCCI house is fractured, and where Lalu’s inclinations are.

Whatever the politics, we just hope singing and the trademark Lalu wisecracks rule the Saregamapa episode.

  6. this has to sort out by zee fake voting going on for aneek from Bengal

  7. i think it will be funny
    but there is no use to invite him
    we need some musical personality one who understand about music and who can make sensible comments to singers on stage.
    so i think this is only a trick to give popularity to this show.
    in this sence i think it’s ok but not good

  8. Hey Guys,

    I’ve got the news that the results for this week are as follows :

    Harpreet is Eliminated
    Amanat is the topper
    No.2 is Aneek
    No.3 is Miss Mauli
    Raja is number 4

    Do u think it’s really possible that even after such huge fan following Raja can be on 4th position? I guess there is something seriously wrong with the voting system. I agree Raja can’t be no. 1 everytime but seeing his popularity i’ll never agree that in top 8 he is at no. 4.

  9. Fake Voting : By Aneek Fans (Chk the link)

    Frnds we have been cheated by Aneek fans

    Just clck on the above link (Make sure ur pop up blocker is off).
    By clicking on this link 10 votes go to Aneek… Trust me i tried this on my own

    This particular server is on from moring 11 AM to evening 10 PM.

    even if u open to check d link 10 votes will go to Aneek.

    Can we do something about it? It’s like hurting the sentiments of people who love other singers(I just adore Raja’s voice). This is not right.

  12. So why is Lalu Yadav on Saregamapa?…

    What the hell went on the mind of Zee TV to bring such an unusual guest to the show? To build better ratings in UP, Bihar and Jharkhand?
