As per the Holy book Bhagwad Gita-- Lord Krishna during the epic war Mahabharata told warrior Arjuna that the society follows great men .In The third chapter of Gita a sholaka (21) in Sanskrit  narrates -“ YadyaCharit, Shrestrastat devatoro Jana:Sa yatyapraman  Kurte Lokastanuvardate” (Whatever Greatmen do,common people start following same path).  The Great discourse is relevant for last  thousands of years . Iconic personalities’ assertions  are not taken lightly, so Rulers, instead of taking words as an offensive, should take cognizance of concerns to pave way for prompt and effective address of issues.

Opposition camps’  strategies to replicate its Mahagathbandhans in other poll bound states will mainly depend on the JD(U)-Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Congress governance in the cow belt state which has empowered them to rule it with full might but in a judicious way. Now, one side verdict era is dawning fast- General Elections,Delhi polls and Bihar results –are pointer to that.
