Flatterers, all around
History says the flatterers are more dangerous than the opponents.
The flatterers, being very close circle colleagues, blindfold their leader by flattering with adjectives which the leader does not deserve, they create a barrier around their leader, keep him/her away from the people, do not allow him/her to know the actual position on the ground about his or her popularity, do not allow their leader to know about the economic condition, they brain wash the leader by bringing in hired supporters in his/her public meetings and so on . By doing these they separate the leader from the public and exploit them.
The latest example: BNP leader Begum Khaleda Zia. Her flatterers, mostly the nearest leaders of her party, flooded her public meetings, bringing in a huge number of attendants paying only Tk 100 and a packet of tehari just to cheer their leader in the meetings when she spoke.
She was overwhelmed to see her fake popularity and became confident of her own popularity.
As she was always kept surrounded by her flatterers, she could never know what was happening in the country. These flatterers, keeping her blindfolded, were fishing in the darkness and stole everything they could steal from the state. They became rich overnight and Begum Zia has lost everything.
Not only leaders in Bangladesh, everywhere in the world many such leaders who were surrounded by flatterers perished in the end. I don't have the audacity of advising our new leader, but I want to remind her that please do not allow the flatterers to surround you.
Please read newspapers of both your supporters and opponents to know the reality.
