Om Parkash Chautala, the charmer

3 July, 2008 18:07:34

New Delhi, July 3 (IANS) Mulayam Singh Yadav, chairperson, UNPA, is not known to have a glib tongue. After an over four-hour brain-wracking session with his colleagues in the alliance, he looked and sounded dreary as he spoke to mediapersons.

His lieutenant, Amar Singh, paid his usual homage to former Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) general secretary Harkishen Singh Surjeet. He too looked drained.

But Om Prakash Chautala, former Haryana chief minister, with his trademark green turban stood out among the weary lot. He looked as fresh as a daisy. Even his wit, despite the enervating heat, was intact.

Taking potshots at waiting journalists, Chautala asked: 'You are the most intelligent people in the country? How many of you can explain what the nuclear deal is about?'

Spicing up his repartees, Chautala said with a straight face: 'The UNPA will form the next government. It stands as immovable as a rock.'
