Looking stiff: Amar Singh with actress Jaya Prada
Amar Singh attended this year's Oscar ceremony, which was held on February 22nd. Coincidentally he was fined by a court in New Delhi on Friday, February 20th for not appearing. Amar Singh's counsel informed the court that the politician was out for "political and personal work".
The Oscars are an invitation only event, one can only imagine what sort of behind the scenes activity goes on to get in. Add to it the massive donation to Clinton Foundation - you got an international man of mystery right there.
Our media simply does not know how to handle the multifaceted personality of Amar Singh. His theoretical power as an MP and a regional politician simply belies the amount of influence he yields and we are not even talking about the confidence vote. It is simply stunning how he manages to do all this. He even managed to perform a guest role in a regional movie. He almost managed to install a very unusual woman into the parliament [YouTube].
We are merely speculating this, but the clamor for various security levels among politicians isn't fully explained by a desire to show off. Perhaps the higher levels of security calls for strict protocol for media and perimeter sanitizing. It is easy to see why some politicians would need their privacy or more accurately, their clientele would.
If the UPA comes back to power, expect to see more of this man.
