There should absolutely be no surprise that Mukesh Ambani came out in support of Milind Deora. Deoras and Ambanis go back a long time. Anybody who follows Mumbai politics will know Murli Deora was a quintessential backroom boy liasoning between Congress and Corporate houses
Today we hear Rahul Gandhi talking absolute nonsense about suit boot ki sarkar and all that rubbish. The truth is real suit boot ki sarkar was run by Congress and Murlibhai actually dressed in impeccable suits ensured that.
Murli Deora was a family loyalist more than Congress Party loyalist. Now of course you can't tell the difference but there was a time when Congress had party loyalists and not just family loyalists. Those people don't exist anymore
Murli Deora jumped into electoral politics fairly late in his life and he contested on South Bombay seat and won 4 times. MMS dropped Mani Aiyar to make him Oil Minister which was clear conflict of interest knowing his proximity with Ambanis but if only we had 'pliable' media
So there is absolutely nothing surprising about Ambani endorsement for Milind Deora. What is surprising is that despite Ambanis lock stock and barrel behind Congress how did suit boot ki sarkar even get coined and why was it not challenged by media. If only we had 'pliable' media
