Sir Sachin Tendulkar 4

Cong proposes Sachin's name for Rajya Sabha

Thalaiva, pls no :|

aaNiyE pudunga vENaam! After cricket, no politics, no BCCI

Congress for clubbing him with Rekha for the same honour...apparently he even acceded to it :banghead:

Adei!!! intha manushana cricket aada vidungada......hopefully he outrightly rejects it...
@ wiz avar eppo accede pannaru intha vishayathukkku....athu engayum kurupidilaye......

^NDTV sources never been wrong on issues pertaining to Congress..he would be a party nominee :-(

I'm really surprised that he accepted it :|

Rajya Sabha member is a dummy post. Almost like an honorary position and just given to popular names. I bet he wouldn't even have the time to step in Rajya sabha.

wizzy he is not a party nominee.... if accepted, he will be a president appointed, representing India and not any party
