Protesting in a Traditional Way!

The MP from Barmer, Mr. Manevendra Singh, would no longer be seen in his patent clourful kesaria (saffron) turban. He has switched over to khakhi one to mourn the deaths in the ongoing gujjar agitation. The MP who is camping in his home constituency said that the symbolic mourning would continue for 12 days.

Manvendra Singh is always seen in a traditional marwari attire even in the Parliament. Political analysts in Barmer believe that the MP,off late, has been quite vocal in criticizing many of the decisions and policies of the ruling BJP government. This gesture of his is also seen by many to indirectly protest against the state government for its 'alleged' failure to handle the ongoing gujjar agitation.

Manvendra, son of the BJP stalwart Mr. Jaswant Singh, is among those young child prodigies who carried a lot of attention after winning in the last lok sabha polls. Let’s see what people of Barmer have in store for him in the next elections!
