Crackers with politicians' names sell like hot cakes during Diwali |
Apart from creating news
on the national arena, politicians have captured the imagination of the cracker
industry in the form of bombs, sparklers and rockets. They are selling like hot
cakes in Patna . Residents, especially children, are making a beeline for crackers
named after State Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and other leaders like Lalu Prasad
and Ram Vilas Paswan. "This time, crackers with the names of Lalu, Nitish and
Ram Vilas are selling like hot cakes. Lalu's parachute and charkhi and the Nitish's
bomb are selling more than other crackers," said Mohammed Nasruddin , a shopkeeper.
Priced in a range of rupees 250 to 1,000, these crackers are in great demand.
"Every year during Diwali, crackers with film stars' names used to sell a lot.
But this time, we are seeing a new trend. The crackers with Nitish Kumar, Lalu
and Ram Vilas Paswan's names are attracting more attention and children are demanding
those crackers only," said Rajram Chaudhry , a customer. Diwali will be celebrated
on October 17. |
