This MLA has Ghosts, Python as pets

Here is a politician "Anant Singh" who is JD(U) MLA from Mokama in Bihar State of India & this man is having a "weird hobby" of keeping a python as his pet. He too claims to having ghosts also as his pets.

On Thursday, he proudly displayed his new "pet" -- a python -- before a section of the electronic media. Coiled up in a glass case, the reptile was on some TV channels with the MLA once lifting it to put around his neck.

Tall, slim and heavily-moustached, Anant is always surrounded by toughies. And he talks tough. "I have also got some 'bhoots' (ghosts) as my pets. I have them... I have them... I can show you but do you have enough courage to see my ghosts?" he dared the media men, defiantly.

He is the same Anant Singh who was facing over two dozen criminal cases & was released from Buxar jail earlier. He had won in elections earlier from Mokama seat defeating a kin of LJP MP Suraj Bhan Singh.

Even as the forest officials were talking to the MLA, some media men were watching the python drinking milk from a bowl in the glass case in one of the rooms in the MLA's flat.

'MLA' & his son pass in First division together in matriculation examination

Here is a MLA ( Member of Parliament) from Jharkhand state of India who cleared his matriculation examination after a 20-year-long break from the school & interestingly his son too passed the matriculation examination with him. So now you can imagine that being illiterate is no bar to enter in Indian Politics.

So here is Sukhram Oraon an MLA from Chakradharpur in Jharkhand state of India who cleared the matriculation examination with his son and also passed out in first division. Oraon is the first legislator in the state to have appeared at matriculation examination after being elected to the Assembly.

Scared that people will accuse him of misusing his official position, Oraon had decided to appear for the matriculation examination this year outside his constituency, at Chaibasa. He suffered from bouts of anxiety, he conceded today, but news that he has secured 300 out of 500 marks, obtaining a first division in the process, prompted him to let down his hair.

It was celebration time at Chakradharpur, he said over the telephone, since both he and his son, Sanjeev, have passed together.

There are MLAs, Oraon said, who cannot even sign. Therefore he wanted to show that education is important for even politicians. This is just the beginning, he declared. He now plans to study in a Manoharpur college for his graduation. “It will be difficult to attend classes for more than twice a week,” he asserted. But since he does visit Manoharpur for party work, he hoped it would enable him to attend some classes.
