Maybe he is tired and upset that India losing the mystic charm as the "Land of Kings, Elephants and Snake charmers" , A MLA ( Member of Legislature Assembly ) of Assam suddenly decided to become a King.
In a bizarre development, an MLA Jietn Gogoi, MLA representing the Bokakhat assembly constituency and a former member of the militant organization ULFA (United Liberation Front of Assam), barged into a National Park and threatened the duty officers with guns saying that he is a "King" and permitted to do hunting of wild animals for sport.
On Tueday Gogoi and fellow MLA Kushao Durori (also an ex-ULFA man) were caught fishing inside Kaziranga National Park (Conserved forest mainly for the endangered One Horned Indian Rhinoceros). When confronted by the park rangers, he threatened to kill them, destroyed the office furnitures and left.
Ironically Gogoi is the elected representative of the constituency under which the KNP falls.
Kaziranga: A legislator in Assam on Thursday proclaimed himself a "king" and insisted on hunting wildlife for sport, two days after he and another lawmaker vandalised property inside the famed Kaziranga National Park and threatened to kill a park ranger.
"I am the king--a king does not require permission to enter any part of his territory. I think I will hunt deer inside the park as hunting explicitly for sport had been a noble and especially a royal prerogative since ancient times," Jiten Gogoi, a legislator representing the Bokakhat assembly constituency under whose jurisdiction the Kaziranga National Park falls, told reporters.
"Let the whole world know what a king can do," he added.
Park officials said Gogoi, a former militant of the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), accompanied by another legislator Kushal Duori, entered the sanctuary on Tuesday and forcibly took a boat and went fishing in a river that flows through Kaziranga.

Hehe..being a former militant hath it's own advantage, I guess. See, this is what you can call as true democracy in full swing , with bells and wistles..! A former memeber of a seperatist organization fought against the Indian Union and the surrendered , formed a political party, got elected in democratic way and become a member of legislature assembly. Now become a King also.
Now reply me. Which is the greatest democracy in the world :-)). Can ever anyone become a King in US of A.
Whew...!

Lol, Kings Privilege to vandalise as well? Just a scary thought that Mulla Fazallullah of Swat picks up the idea and breaks into houses vandalising their living rooms and beating people for having unislamic lifestyle.
Just sheer abuse of poor.. might is right ... once you have the power give it whatever name, Kingship, religion, superior race and all that. It all boils down to one point all these morons are low life thugs nothing more
