Plz do a series on Gangs of Jharkhand

[@alisseril]

You took the pains to reshoot the entire episode! Really appreciate that. The audio quality is much better now. Thank you for giving a glimpse of the Hindi heartland gangster-politics nexus. It seems that UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is doing a commendable job freeing the state from the clutches of these criminal gangs and driving it towards development.

[@caesar_cipher]

yes Yogi ji has empowered IPS officers across caste lines to take action. But muslim goons and their liberal friends across media and political spectrum are busy calling him a dictator.

[@ThePrintIndia]

Thank you. I recorded by myself at hope and the microphone malfunctioned. It was only fair to our wonderful viewers like you to re-record it on a different microphone. Thanks for acknowledging it…Shekhar

[@alisseril]

@@ThePrintIndia You are wonderful Sekharji! I never imagined that you did that video yourself; I thought it is your sound engineer or the video editor who made the mistake. Please accept my sincere apologies if I were a little harsh in my former comments. I was a little disappointed after I found poor audio in the program of Ms. Jyoti Malhotra and then again here also.

[@markrobin3666]

Anand Mohan Singh was innocent and framed , but still he has completed more than 14-16 years in jail , no further point to keep him in jail , else it will be a thing of constitution shaming , forgiving is a big thing only very brave once can do it , Hare Krishna

[@alisseril]

@@markrobin3666 To the best of my knowledge Anand Mohan is a gangster convicted for the murder of an IAS officer and sentenced to life imprisonment; he got released immaturely because the Bihar home department has tweaked the Jail Manual and the state sentence remission council has bestowed favorable orders; everybody knows why the Bihar state is doing this.

I can safely say that most of the gangs were made to protect their people , but with time they changed their direction (negatively) . Earlier baniya gangs were formed to resist extortion ( as they were rich in cash unlike landowners). Now you can draw the story.

[@caesar_cipher]

To put things in present perspective, Rama Devi of BJP is MP from Sheohar. Chetan Anand, the son of Anand Mohan Singh who killed Rama Devi's husband, is a MLA from one of the vidhan sabha constituencies of Sheohar on a RJD ticket. Anand Mohan Singh, who claimed to fight for upper castes, is now part of RJD - which claims to fight for backward castes and yadavs. In long term, Rama Devi is real WINNER as she has won 3 consecutive MP elections from Sheohar - something even big mafia and ministers have not been able to do in Bihar

[@kalabhairava56]

Arey jab janta hi chutiya ho toh thode chalak logo ko credit de hi nhi skte

[@amgc1978]

In this context of crimes in the Hindi heartland, the purilia arms drop would have made for an interesting discussion

[@ashutoshanand1573]

Intresting for readers: Anand Mohan Singh is a pro-upper caste politics guy, who opposed reservations for OBCs wholeheartedly in 90s (however Rajputs of east have a long socialist affiliation), and then he was jailed, spent near 2 decade in jail and against whom he had crusaded is where he has sought refuge, yes the RJD who opposed EWS reservation as hardly as they could. BJP itself has voiced for the release of Anand Mohan Singh many times, echoed by national figures too. Many people forget that along with him, 25 more notorious criminals have been released but no one is naming them !! And the Dalit groups & Backward caste groups are opposing this are doing so bcz the IAS was a dalit. means his life post death is subject to his caste..

Everyone is born to die eventually. But these special creatures are born to die violently. Lovely Anand is not lovely. Brij Bhushan is no ornament to Brij bhumi. Anand Mohan spreads only misery, nor anand. Who is worse than these gangsters who know no better than kill each other? People like Mulayam Singh and Nitish Kumar who knowingly encourage their gangsterism and use them for their political ends. Finish these crooked politicians in Bihar and UP. Gangsterism will end for want of political patronage.
