An independent MLA’s ascent to CM’s post was a record, he has set another by sustaining it for one year

PROFILE: MADHU KODA The only controversy (if it can be called that) concerning Koda was elopement of his wife Geeta Biruli with his personal assistant, an engineer, only four months after their marriage. But, Koda managed to woo her back with same persistence with which he pursued MLAs of coalition parties. Koda threw a lavish bash (called bahu bhat in local parlance) to celebrate their reunion.

There were some doubts over his continuance, after JMM chief Shibu Soren was released from Dumka jail last month. But, Koda put all speculations at rest by telling B&E with practicised ease, “I am heading a UPA government with blessings of Congress President Sonia Gandhi, RJD chief Laloo Prasad Yadav and of course JMM President Shibu Soren. If I have to be replaced, it has to be done with concurrence of all of them.” His father wanted to him to be a police officer. But, he ventured into social service and politics. During his stint with the RSS & the BJP, he remained a simpleton, wearing khadi. Once, he switched his loyalties, he changed his lifestyle as well. Now, he flies in government aircrafts and choppers, shops in Gurgaon malls & sports branded clothes & accessories.

He got an entry in Limca Book of Records last year by becoming Chief Minister as an independent MLA. He set another record this year by completing one year in office. He has now set his eyes on completing his term. For many in his position, staying another three years in office, may be a long haul. But, certainly, not for Koda. He is a maverick and a fighter politician.
