Narratives

"Babu Mela Tot Lagi hai, pook maal do," might be intimate conversation between two Chhapri (tawdry) lovers taking serious life decisions likely and most probably scamming each other. In this particular case a lover requesting blow from partner on the supposed injury spot, sometimes over phone.

However very often celebrities in general and politicians in particular scam fans and public emotions to garner sympathy for themselves for varying reasons- ahead of elections, or damage-control or for promotional activities.

Usage in Political Blackmail

MK Gandhi used this modus operandi to blackmail his followers to alter public decision towards his own skewed wishes. Take the case of the selection of Subhash Chandra Bose as Congress supremo and his instant removal and replacement by Nehru despite electoral sweep by Bose- all just because Gandhi sat on hunger strike to get Nehru on throne despite being a loser in the committee elections.

Usage in Damage-Control

To divert public attention from Delhi's water crisis Delhi's water minister Atishi Marlena sat on hunger strike and in a bizarre and hyped health crisis which people laughed off as cheap quality drama based on solid chain of events. Or Marlena's claim that Arvind Kejriwal 'may go into coma' claim in an attempt to politicize his imprisonment in Tihar jail.

Usage in reviving fanship

Pornstar Poonam Pandey tried to revive her fanbase struggling the challenge of increasing number of celebs, strategically peddled the rumor of her death through her PR agency to trend in the news-space. Later she claimed that this publicity stunt was aimed at raising awareness for cervical cancer.

While this phenomenon's older legend is MK Gandhi, by the time of this documentation, Aam Aadmi Party is the biggest practitioner of this modus operandi.
