Roaring lions from Gir with Amitabh Bachchan

           How many of us know about ‘Gir Forest national park’? Many of us even don’t where it is. Many of us even don’t care so I won’t waste my time in telling that it falls in south east of Junagarh. Now please do ask where Junagarh is. This time I really don’t have time.

Anyways, congratulations to Mr. Amitabh Bachchan  and CM of Gujarat Mr. Narendra Modi for their joint efforts that the sanctuary is able to draw more than expectations response from the tourists and  that sanctuary is completely booked for the fortnight till November 15. This is a record in the last 15 years for this only abode of the Asiatic lion has finally witnessed some activities around it. The roar of lions along with superstar Amitabh Bachchan in the Gujarat Tourism campaign has definitely brought one more good news for Mr. Modi who must be celebrating his land sliding victory in recent local municipal elections in Gujarat.

As per the news; ever since the sanctuary re-opened on October 15, on an average, 70 to 80 permits were issued daily. The upper limit for issuing permits was 90 permits per day, however till November 11, there is no room in Sinh Sadan which is official guest house of the forest department and even the advance permits issued to casual visitors are over booked.

            Now it is cheering news for the followers of megastar and the most suitable candidate for the post of Prime Minister of India; there are few of the people who have their own explanations for every situation. In one such example here is someone who wrote that
Mr. Bachchan came to Gujarat to lift the tax from his movie “Paa” and Mr. Modi projected his inability for this. He further suggested Mr.Amitabh Bachchan  to become brand ambassador for Gujarat Tourism so that Mr. Bachchan’s proposal could be reviewed for  which Mr. Amitabh Bachchan  readily agreed.

It is a good news at the first glance for everyone is in profit here. Gujarat gained economically, Modi proved his tactfulness even if the argument is to be believed and Mr. Bachchan also might have been benefitted. But let us see who is the looser here? I hope none except few of the people who just can not stop their prying nose around and they will go to any extend to split the hair.

I wanted to ask should Amir Khan’s movie must also be tax free in India for he also is the brand ambassador of  ‘Incredible India!’ will you buy this argument?
