Taking a look at our contsituency, Munshyari –Dharchula constituency …… there were many contenders for this seat. Sitting MLA Gagan S Rajwar ( a.k.a. Rajwa, as an independent after being denied a ticket by Congress ), so called Fire Brand lady Smt. Sakuntala Datal (Congress), Shir Kundar S Tolia (BJP), Tiger Garbyal, Hoshiyar Khair, Kutiyal, Chandu Khair, Khampa & few more … But final result shocked many … Rawja proved his political acumen beating his nearest rival Shri Kundan S Tolia by more than 5000 votes. Nobody expected that he’ll take away cake this easily. 5 years back, a man from nowhere, was brought by few wise ppl to field him as MLA candidate from our constituency. To be precise....he was just a pawn to those people. With large mass support from non rung community... he won that election with record margin. That man was non other than Gagan S Rajwar...much to the frustation of Rung mung who were looking for their polictical graph to shoot up after Dharchula- Munshayari Constituency was declared reserved. Man who never happened to see a train before was talk of the town… on the front page of every newspaper. Those 5 years as MLA....I don’ t know how much development work he carried out in our constituency & frankly speaking his winning this election was doubtful coz most of those wise people (non rung big-wigs) were supporting their respective party candidates. 5 years gone....he was still regarded as a mere puppet who doesn’t know ABC of politics. He proved everyone wrong. Those 5 years as MLA, he mastered the rules of playing the game of politics & fought this election of his own. He knew how & where to hit the right cord. Hope Rung Mung learn a lesson or two from this election. Specially those who are looking for an opportunity to make big in this arena, must look at this persona closely & learn, who rose from nowhere & elected for the second consecutive term as MLA. First term was a fluke, but second was not …… Frankly speaking, I didn’t come across his election agenda ….. Anyway who cares….!!!! One needs to have strong root to grow big ……which our so called rung politicians lag…. They need to look beyond Byas Valley, Chaudas Valley & Darma Valley. Non of these valleys are as politically fertile as Whalan valley. It’s a wake up signal to those rung who dream to put MLA tag before their names. & I sincerely wish Rajwa gets minister tag & comes out with development programmes..…. Forget dharchula ….. but atleast to those villages who made him win twice…… & Well in between thinking of Rung MLA from Dharchula …..??????? I am just 26, but not in my lifetime though…..[:]
