Fan Club: The Deceive Market

Bhubaneswar (Surjit Kumar Dhal): We used to understand a ‘Club’ is a house where people from a group get together. That is, an association. There were one club house in different villages. There were people of the same mind coming together, exchanging ideas.

Now is the age of social media. People don’t have time to go to club houses anymore in a busy hectic life. So various ‘Fan Clubs’ are being created on social media with their ideals and ideas. Initially, fan clubs of various celebrities were seen. Now the fan clubs of leaders, ministers, bureaucrats is overshadowed on social media. Their small, big events are being uploaded to fan clubs. This is a kind of advertising platform.

The fan clubs are being set up under the direction of various leaders, ministers and officials. The purpose of these are to deceive common people. Wherever the leaders or ministers give money to someone to show his greatness, feed someone, these are immediately uploaded in social media. Similarly, various schemes and activities being unveiled by the authorities are also being uploaded to the public. Mainly political and bureaucratic fan clubs are a tool, indirectly run by them for their own bragging. Through this fan clubs, they are only fooling around by showing people their performance, popularity, government initiatives.

In addition, if the leader or the government does any work, success, or a news to start of a plan, the fan clubs post them all on their wall and show the stars during the day. But the fan clubs do not approve of any negative news.  All the fans in charge of the fan club, or “Chela Chamunda”, have been reported to make money from the owners by showing lanterns to the people.
