As
its
suggest,
the
movie
Raajneeti
of
director
Prakash
Jha
is
all
about
elections,
democracy
and
politics
in
India.
It
revolves
around
the
present
elections
situation
in
India.
Now,
the
movie
is
gearing
up
to
release
in
June
and
stars
of
the
film
Ranbir
Kapoor,
Katrina
Kapoor,
Arjun
Ramapal,
Ajay
Devgn,
Manoj
Bajpei
and
Nassiruddin
Shah
seem
to
have
taken
the
election
topic
to
promote
Raajneeti.
As
a
part
of
the
promotion
of
the
movie,
Raajneeti
crew
was
here
in
Bangalore
on
Monday
(May
10).
Along
with
Prakash
Jha,
stars
Ranbir
Kapoor,
Katrina
Kaif,
Manoj
Bajpei
and
screenplay
writer
Anjum
Rajabali
took
part
in
the
a
debate
on
'Aaj
Kal
Ke
Raajneeti'
held
at
Brigade
Millenium
convention
hall
in
Bangalore.
The
topic
of
the
debate
was
should
it
be
made
mandatory
for
an
MLA/MP
to
have
a
graduation?
Manoj
Bajpei,
Anjum
Rajabali
and
Raju
Gowda,
the
Professor
of
IIM
stated
that
a
graduation
should
be
made
compulsory
for
an
MLA/MP,
while
Prakash
Jha,
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Katrina
Kapoor
argued
them
and
proved
that
this
idea
will
snatch
away
the
chance
of
a
common
man
from
involving
in
political
activities.
The
debate
was
sponsored
and
organised
by
TV
channel
Star
News.
Deepak
Chaurasia
hosted
this
debate
show.
His
very
appearance
on
the
show
brought
the
hot
atmosphere
of
the
debate.
He
gave
the
first
chance
to
argue
to
Katrina
Kaif,
who
spoke
against
having
graduation.
Here
are
the
brief
statements
of
the
both
pro
and
against
teams.
Katrina
Kaif
said:
“First
of
all
let
me
tell
you
that
I
haven"t
done
graduation.
I
don"t
think
it
should
be
appropriate
to
make
it
mandatory
that
a
person,
who
wants
to
become
MLA/MP,
should
obtain
a
degree
because
there
are
several
politicians
in
Indian
history,
who
have
achieved
a
lot
without
having
a
graduation.
So
I
think
what
one
needs
to
take
part
in
politics
is
that
he/she
must
have
dedication
and
passion
to
bring
about
a
change
in
the
existing
political
system."
Professor
Raju
Gowda
argued
her
and
said:
“A
person,
who
wins
the
MLA/MP
election,
will
sit
in
the
Assembly/Parliament
and
discuss
the
serious
issues
of
the
state/country.
If
he
needs
to
sort
out
a
particular
problem,
he
must
have
historical
sense
to
do
it.
He
must
read
the
books
about
same
issues
written
by
experts
and
understand
them
thoroughly
before
looking
into
the
present
issue.
Otherwise
he
lands
up
at
a
solution,
which
will
not
be
applicable
for
all
the
people
of
all
the
ages.
That"s
why
I
strongly
feel
that
degree
should
be
made
compulsory
for
an
MLA/MP."
Director
Prakash
Jha
opined:
“Let
me
tell
you
first
that
I'm
not
against
degree
holder
entering
politics.
It"s
good
that
he/she
will
be
able
to
make
a
strong
rule
with
his
knowledge.
But
I
don"t
agree
with
the
professor.
A
person
does
not
necessarily
need
to
have
degree
or
historical
sense
to
address
a
particular
problem.
If
he
has
practical
experience
and
elementary
education,
he
can
use
his
common
sense
and
solve
any
issue.
Moreover,
this
right
is
given
to
everyone
by
the
Indian
Constitution.
If
you
make
it
mandatory
then
you
are
going
to
snatch
the
rights
of
a
common
man,
who
grows
rice
and
serve
this
country.
So
degree
should
not
be
made
compulsory."
Anjum
Rajabali
counter
argued
him
and
said:
“Politics
is
not
only
about
growing
rice,
but
it
is
also
about
the
managing
the
rice
grown
throughout
the
state/country.
He
needs
to
understand
how
to
gather
it,
store
it
and
serve
it
according
to
the
need
of
the
people.
This
managing
skill
can
be
acquired
by
a
person
only
when
he/she
has
adequate
knowledge
about
the
past
and
has
vision
about
the
future.
The
person,
who
has
done
a
graduation
will
have
necessary
theoretical
knowledge
about
the
various
consequences
and
he
will
manage
a
particular
situation."
Ranbir
Kapoor
said:
“I
agree
with
the
idea
of
Katrina.
Like
her,
I"ve
also
not
done
graduation
in
any
stream.
Moreover,
70%
of
the
Indian
population
is
staying
in
rural
part
of
the
country
and
they
don"t
have
a
facility
to
get
higher
education.
If
degree
is
made
compulsory,
most
of
them
will
be
out
of
politics,
which
is
not
fair
according
to
the
constitution.
There
are
several
instances
that
learned
people
have
failed
to
govern
the
state/country
and
many
graduate
MLA/MPs
have
involved
in
corruption
and
big
scams.
That"s
why
I
staunchly
disagree
with
the
idea
that
MLA/MP
should
have
graduation.?
Manoj
Bajpei
said:
“There
are
spheres
of
life,
which
every
common
can
manage
them.
There
are
ministries
like
Aviation,
Foreign,
Finance,
Commerce
and
other
technology-related
areas,
which
are
even
difficult
to
be
handled
by
learned
men.
In
such
a
situation,
how
a
person
with
elementary
education
will
make
policies
about
Aviation,
Foreign
affairs
and
Commerce.
So
a
degree
is
a
must
for
him
to
become
an
MLA/MP."
Both
the
groups
went
on
making
arguments
and
counter
arguments.
Even
audience
also
took
part
in
the
debate
and
made
their
arguments.
But
finally,
Prakash
Jha
concluded
the
debate
with
a
note:
“We're
not
at
all
against
having
degree.
Our
argument
is
that
common
man
should
not
be
turned
away
from
his
fundamental
rights.
He
should
also
be
included
in
political
activities
until
India
will
become
100%
literate
country.
We
can"t
compare
India
with
England
because
every
kid
in
England
will
be
provided
with
free
elementary
education
by
the
government,
where
as
in
India,
we
don"t
have
schools
in
many
rural
areas.
In
such
case,
how
can
you
expect
them
to
get
a
degree?
Indian
Constitution
has
given
equal
rights
to
both
common
man
and
a
graduate.
The
right
should
not
intervened
by
anyone."
