With the coming re-polls after the resignation of Mahi and Mannan from their JS seats, they are including their leader Dr. B Chowdhury, the cynosure of all eyes. Are they going to take the plunge into politics is the question. Some say yes, but not right now. The son of the past president and Major Mannan both are familiar face in their constituencies. This time they may not just be a silent campaigner for them, and for the political career of renegade Dr. B Chowdhury, but they are perhaps preparing for their own political career. Dr. Chowdhury perhaps has a plan to get into it some time later. Well-built, wealthy, soft spoken with quiet good looks, both Mahi and Mannan should, however, know that politics does not always depend on good face or good image. Most of the people in politics now in Bangladesh wanted to earn lots of money, get into business etc. But why they came back home from heaven? Perhaps something must have changed. Not perhaps but actually, I think. It seems people of all ages like to support what they are telling. But what one tells in Bangladesh matters a little. What is done, and can be done realistically does matter a lot. Dr. Kamal sounds very good as Dr. Chowdhury. But can they do what they want to do?
