==Plot==
“Promise what benefits them and do what benefits us!” has been the mantra of our opportunistic politicians for ages now. Still, whenever some shrewd politician shows up with sweet words and a welcoming smile the junta votes again hoping that the solution has arrived! Shri Chaitu Lal ([[Rajeev Nigam]]) is Chief Minister of a fictional state named Ulta Pradesh. This Chief Minister is known for fooling the innocent citizens by making false promises. Like any other neta{{typo help inline|reason=similar to Neta|date=February 2021}} Chaitu is a fairly manipulative, wise with words and is of an opportunistic kind. His 'thenga party' vouches only for black money by manipulating the system. He promises what benefits the common man but does what benefits him. Supporting him in this comedy show is his wife Imli Devi ([[Samta Sagar]]). She stands by her husband through the thick and thin. Even though Chaitu is the leader of the ruling party when it comes to home, his wife is his biggest support system. Imli hopes to see her brother and CM's enthusiastic brother-in-law, Putan ([[Ishtiyak Khan]]) as the Prime Minister of the nation. Putan a youth icon of his state is as shrewd as his Jijaji. He has 13 cases lodged against him and has purchased degrees from all the top colleges of the state. Puttan is no less to Chaitu in any way when it comes to politics and corruption.

==Reception==
The show is a satirical take on the common man's issues.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.tellychakkar.com/tv/tv-news/garima-productions-next-moves-happii-star-plus-launch-19-february-180204|title=Garima Productions' next moves from Happii to Star Plus; to launch on 19 February|last=Team|first=Tellychakkar|work=Tellychakkar.com|access-date=2018-07-28|language=en}}</ref> It shows Chaitu Laal dealing with common man's issues such as education, infrastructure, corruption etc. while also focusing on events like the rigged elections, buying and selling of MLAs and the foundation of random committees that misuse public money. It is through these events that the show unveils the ugly side of politics in a slapstick manner with funny situations.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/politics-has-become-entertainment/article23480352.ece|title=Politics has become entertainment|last=Kumar|first=Anuj|date=2018-04-09|work=The Hindu|access-date=2018-07-28|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

Talking about the show, [[Rajeev Nigam]] who plays the Lead Role of Chaitu Lal says,
{{quote|In this day and age where politics is no less than a masaledaar pot-boiler, a show like this is a fantastic move by Star Plus. The subject is such that it spawns interest and draws sharp opinions even by the non-voters, who have strong opinions about political parties, their ideologies or individuals. As Chaitu Lal I got an opportunity to understand and translate on screen the malpractices of our corrupt politicians. I hope the audience love me so much as a devious corrupt politician who promises welfare to the public only to end up profiting his own family and friends. Viewers will start hating me for being a silly, selfish, and an ignorant Chief Minister of a state.}}
