MLA Upadhyay crowned as ‘Mahamurkh’

Thursday, 21 March 2019 | Staff Reporter | RAIPUR

Cartoon watch magazine crowned legislator from Raipur West, Vikas Upadhyay as ‘Mahamurkh’ in a function held at a private hotel on the occasion of Holi on Tuesday.

It is a tradition of the magazine to award ‘Mahamurkh’ crown to distinguished persons on the occasion of Holi.

This was its 24th year and the distinguished persons who had been felicitated with the crown earlier include present Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, Member of Parliament Ramesh Bais, senior BJP leader Brijmohan Agrawal, Mayor Pramod Dubey and Member of Parliament from BJP Saroj Pandey. Editor of the magazine and host Triambak Sharma, speaking on this occasion, said in the modern day context, a person who speaks truth and does good work is a ’Mahamurkh’ (fool).

When a person decides to contest elections against political heavy weight and influential person, he should be termed as a fool. Upadhyay never gave up and dedicatedly executed his work which paved his victory against erstwhile heavy weight minister, Rajesh Munat and so he has been crowned ‘Mahamurkh.’ A ‘Hasya Kavi Sammelan’ was also held on this occasion, which will be aired on a private channel on the occasion of Holi.
