Osama bin Laden in Bihar election

Story is about Bihar elections. One Osama bin Laden look like is campaigning for Paswan. Absolutely new tactics to allure the Muslim voters.
And off course it shows the popularity of Osama in Indian sub continent.

Paswan, in a desperate bid to upstage Lalu among Muslims, has resorted to more global antics: An Osama bin Laden look-alike to canvass for him.

The Osama factor, Paswan believes, would work for him. If history is anything to go by, then among rural Muslims it could definitely gather some votes, the way CPM managed to kick up a positive wave in its favour during the first Gulf War by supporting Saddam Hussein.

Re: Osama bin Laden in Bihar election

I think an Osama look-a-like would be in great demand in the US elections too, apart from his imposing height which is always a key factor in US elections and his flowing robes his camping/caving skills would win over the outdoor types and survilalists.

This is proof that finding a role model in Muslim politics is harder than finding a Jew peddling hot dogs in Mecca.

^ Not to get too off topic but have you had Hebrew National franks? Excellent I say.

I don't know whats worse, the fact that someone is using UBL as political prop or the fact that it may help him win a few votes?
