cricket is supposed to be a gentleman’s game. But when bjp politicians get involved, it becomes a game of shameless nepotism, backroom deals, and duck-scoring dynasties. The anurag thakur story isn’t just embarrassing—it’s a full-blown shame list of how the bjp has rotted the system from the inside out. Let’s break it down:
1. Daddy’s Boy Gets a Shortcut
In 2000, prem Kumar Dhumal—then bjp cm of Himachal Pradesh—wanted his son anurag thakur to head the state’s cricket board. The only catch? bcci rules said you must have played domestic cricket. Easy fix: daddy makes sure the son “magically” appears in the Ranji squad.
2. The Historic Duck of Nepotism
Thakur’s cricket “career” was a masterpiece of mediocrity. One match, 0 runs in 7 balls, didn’t bat in the second innings. That’s it. End credits. A record so bad it would make even a gully cricketer laugh. But hey, when rules are just props, who cares about runs?
3. The Real Wicket He Wanted
The duck wasn’t a failure—it was a qualification. With his one fake Ranji appearance, Thakur ticked the eligibility box and slid into the HPCA throne. Merit died on the pitch that day, but the BJP’s nepotism machine scored big.
4. From cricket Joke to Political Powerhouse
After “retiring” from his one-match career, Thakur enjoyed all the perks of cricket administration—money, prestige, influence—before walking straight into mainstream politics. Not because of talent, not because of hard work, but because he was born with the right surname.
5. BJP’s Recipe: Kill Merit, Feed Nepotism
While thousands of young cricketers sweat it out in nets, hoping for one chance, BJP’s playbook proves you don’t need skill—you just need family connections. It’s a slap in the face of every struggling sportsman in India.
6. The Bigger Shame: India’s Rotten Core
This isn’t just cricket. It’s a reflection of how bjp runs the country—rules bent for the powerful, posts gifted to loyal dynasties, and corruption wrapped in saffron. cricket, politics, institutions—everything is just another pitch for them to fix.
👉 The Final Scorecard:
Runs scored by Anurag Thakur: 0
Runs scored by nepotism: Unlimited
💔 Moral of the story: In BJP’s India, even a duck can make you a king—as long as your daddy is in power.
