Million dollar baby

The euphoria over The Slumdog Millionaire is already over except for one party, Congress, in India which wants it to keep alive to gain politically in elections. It's just that they invested Rs. 1 crore in the hit song Jai Ho from the same movie that they can not wish away that the euphoria should be over. So, went a step further and invited the kids Rubina and  Azharuddin to there party office and made those innocent kids wait for over 2 & 1/2 hours before they can meet the party President Sonia Gandhi. 

The poor kids even have to say in front of the media that Sonia and Rahul Gandhi ki Jai Ho. Does those poor kids barely in there teens understands what elections are for, what the Congress party stands for and that the Dharavi slums come under the Congress ruled state. The idea to rope in instantly shot to fame kids looks good from outside, but are teenage kids voting these elections ? No, does the mature Indian public in there right to vote see any difference and be affected by the child artists endorsements or The Congress has no one else left to endorse for it after Lalu snubbed them in Bihar and SP in UP.  

What about the rights of children, those kids need to go to school, play in fields and have a fun filled life are burdened with carrying the Congress's campaigning and will be made to smile in front of the camera every time for the party's president sake.  

The irony is that the party which should itself go to such kids and provide them a better living has to sought there help for its own survival, and if they survive then those kids can never have a better life as they might be needed in future in the same avatar again, just like elections after elections and 50 years of reservations they still need to show that SC/ST and OBC are still poor and only they can bring them up. The gravity of the matter is that if the Congress endorses you than you are doomed because they will need you the same way years from now to survive.
