Thoughts on Reliance Industries vice-chairman Anil Ambani filing his nomination papers for the Rajya Sabha:
In Ram Gopal Verma’s seminal film on the Mumbai underworld Satya, Paresh Rawal, who plays the role of a high-ranking police official, says about underworld dons, “Bhag gaye to Dubai se dhanda chalayenge, pakre gaye to jail ke andar se dhanda chalayenge.”
The same is quite true of the Ambanis, till now they have dictated government policy from outside, next they will do it from inside.
