Category:People from Mathura
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This category is for people from Mathura and Mathura District. One of the more influential political families in this side of Uttar pradesh is the family of Shyam sundar sharma. He is the sitting MLA from the constituency of 'Mant' Mathura.The family owes all it's prominence to Pt Lokmani sharma( The father) who rose through the ranks of UP congress to land up a MLA ticket, lost the first time around won the second time in 1980-85 from the same constituency. The family's rise to prominence started with the usual ruffian politics by one of Shaym sunder's elder brother.He lives in the native village called Pachahara in the Naujheel block of Mant constituency.The patricah born in the traditional lower middle calss brahmin family did not approve of this kind of politics and sent him to the village. Shyam sunder sharma has been arrested under Goonda act before he became MLA for the first time in 1989(If I am correct) and has never lost any assembly election since.He has lost one parliament election though - on the ticket of Tiwari congress.His close proximity to Narayan dutt tiwari and Arjun singh is well known. He has changed parties a number of times and also acquired uncounted wealthe. One of the marriages in family dwarfed the marriage of a a billionaire.The entire district politics has become his fiefdom. He has managed to put his younger brother as chairman of the Co operative society and himself has been heading the mathura co-operative bank for quiet some time. The family has systematically milked the entire organisation dry. made crores in dubious deals through the nephews who are contractors for all the work that is given by the ZIla parishad. Idea always have been to milk the moolah, more the merrier. nurtures lots of goons now too to intimidate and threaten people. utilises the police to implicate opponents in false cases. His wife Sudha sharma has been the Chairman of Zila parishad and known for 30% commisssion on every deal that goes out.His son, Lalit Sharma, studied to a dentist in one of the shady colleges of Lucknow and now he is also salted to make his parliament debut, possibly with BSP. Shyam has loads of Money to pay for the ticket to 'Behanji'. God Help mathura, Land of the proverbial 'Shyam'. I am sure even he may be afraid to tread in Mathura now as most of the land in the city including vrindavan, is grabbed by his name sake's family
