INDIAN MASTER BLASTER ONE AND ONLY SACHIN TENDULKAR WILL NOW BECOME A PARLIAMENTARIAN WITH THE GOVERNMENT NOMINATING HIM TO THE HOUSE OF ELDERS, ALONG WITH BOLLYWOOD ACTRESS OF YESTERYEAR REKHA AND INDUSTRIALIST ANU AGA. THE NOMINATION OF THE THREE EMINENT PERSONALITIES WAS TONIGHT APPROVED BY PRESIDENT PRATHIBHA PATIL UNDER ARTICLE 80 OF THE CONSTITUTION THAT ALLOWS THE PRESIDENT TO NOMINATE 12 MEMBERS TO THE 250 MEMBER UPPER HOUSE. A BHARAT RATNA AWARD MIGHT STILL BE A LITTLE DISTANT FOR SACHIN TENDULKAR, BUT HE WILL SOON BE AN MP. TENDULKAR'S NOMINATION TO THE RAJYA SABHA TOOK POLITICAL CIRCLES BY SURPRISE, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN THE WORKS FOR A WHILE.
EVEN BEFORE SACHIN GETS TO PLAY A NEW INNINGS AS A NOMINATED RAJYA SABHA MEMBER, THERE HAS BEEN HEARTBURN AMONG SOME POLITICAL PARTIES. BJP LEADER GOPINATH MUNDE WAS NOT CONVINCED BY TENDULKAR'S NEW ROLE. HE SAID THE CRICKETER FROM MUMBAI SHOULD HAVE RATHER BEEN AWARDED BHARAT RATNA. HE SAID THAT, "INSTEAD OF NOMINATING MASTER CRICKETER SACHIN TENDULKAR TO THE RAJYA SABHA, THE UNION GOVERNMENT SHOULD CONFER BHARAT RATNA AWARD ON HIM."
THE REACTIONS VARIED TO SACHIN'S NOMINATION TO THE RAJYA SABHA, WITH SOME WELCOMING THE MOVE AND OTHERS CRITICAL OF HIS NEW ROLE, WHICH WILL DEPRIVE HIM FROM PLAYING. ANNA HAZARE IS IN MUMBAI FOR A TWO DAY TRIP FOR CONSULTATIONS ON THE LOKAYUKHTA BILL, WELCOMED THE MOVE. HOWEVER, HE MENTIONED THAT HE IS MORE INTERESTED IN A CORRUPTION FREE NATION MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE AT THIS POINT.
THE HOUSE ALREADY HAS A MEMBER FROM THE FILM WORLD IN JAVED AKTHAR. TENDULKAR IS THE FIRST SPORTS PERSONALITY TOBE NOMINATED TO RAJYA SABBHA WHILE THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL FILM PERSONALITIES WHO HAVE BEEN NOMINATED IN THE PAST.
