Aung San Suu Kyi’s popularity surges as Myanmar goes to polls on Nov.8

New Delhi, Oct. 29 : It’s not easy to copy the ‘Badshah’ of Bollywood, not even for Mr. Perfectionist Amir Khan.The 50-year-old actor recently tried using Shah Rukh Khan’s famous “palat” lines from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge to impress a girl during a commercial, but it looks like that his luck was not at the right place.However, Amir’s failed attempt gave a good laugh to his audiences as he hilariously pulled off an SRK spoof.Amir will be next seen as a wrestler in Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Dangal.’ Bangkok, Oct.29 (ANI): General elections in Myanmar are scheduled to be held on November 8 this year, and the popularity of the country’s most charismatic leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, is surging.The election is being touted as the most participative polls in the history of Myanmar, and Suu Kyi, the head of Myanmar’s largest political formation, the National League for Democracy (NLD), will be participating in a full-fledged election for the first time since 1990.Though the military junta-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) enjoys an inherent advantage in any electoral contest in Myanmar largely due to a manipulation of electoral laws and constitutional provisions, reserving 25 percent of seats in the upper and lower houses for the military, the challenge from a resurgent NLD is being perceived as being serious.The general response to NLD during the election campaign indicates that Suu Kyi’s strategy of putting the party and her own personality at the forefront of election campaign could yet be the political master stroke.According to informed sources and reports, the regional areas of Myanmar are ostensibly dominated by various ethnic groups, but Suu Kyi has received an enthusiastic response during her campaigns across the country.The ruling USDP’s efforts to make inroads into ethnic areas through the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) has not had the desired outcome.
