Aaj Ki Aawaz

CPI and CPM ki hai jodi ajeeb…..one wants to maintain distance from the Government and the other wants to be Government ke ek dum kareeb. It
Seems, the yen for power has done surgery to separate the conjoined twins.

Iraq abduction….seems the abductors are Hindi movie buffs….and have been for quite some time….Asha Parekh is their favourite heroine!!! The abductor's demand is causing tremendous heartburn in Congress whereas Amar Singh is walking tall!!!! Congress have put a halo on Sonia after she refused the PM post and spare no opportunity to glorify her, they proudly say, "Hamaare paas Sonia hai." Well now Amar Singh thumbs his nose at the Congressis and says, "Humaare paas Amitabh hai!!!"

Sonia had taped Natwar Singh's mouth shut on the Kidnapping issue. Seems the man is now talking in sign language…..can she tie him up too??? She should keep him busy….like tell him she is going to question him on the House of Patiala ( something like the Mastermind Quiz on BBC)……Natwar should be made to study the Coffee Table Book on the House of Patiala that he keeps on gifting to anyone and everyone….taste of his own medicine!!!!

Chali Laloo ki rail gaadi…….. Rabdi wants a rail connection between her maikaa and sasuraal…….Laloo wants a super fast connection between Madhepura and Chapraa….his electoral maikaa and sasuraal!!! Okay once the In-laws have been taken care of then Laloo will have to cater to the demands of the Out-Laws…….they want more train connection from Patna to the hinterland……..so that they can ferry their 'packages' to their hideouts pronto!!!!

By the way Laloo's proposal to turn the Railways into a kabaadi …..hope you recall his Steel Scrap into rolling stock proposal……has hit a roadblock from within Railways. Railway Officials say unofficially that Laloo should have checked up the type of scrap and its suitability before making the comment!!!

Congress in MP is in 'phakkad' haalat!!!! No money!!!! They've been sending messages to High Command for moolah …..but seems all that they get are Observers……on whom they have to spend money!!!! Next time Arjun Singh or Kamal Nath are in town , that is Bhopal, they plan a show of their 'gareebi'…all of them are going to turn up in tattered clothes….the Hand will be seen in a different hue……begging!!!!!

Seems the Cabinet expansion has been put in the 'thanda bastaa' and all the supposed to be beneficiaries are shivering…..that is in anticipation!!! By the way Satish Sharma's inclusion into the Cabinet would give him a direct entry into the Infamous Tainted List…he has some cases pending against him……and he expects the Petroleum Ministry…..pending cases against him will sure fuel up matters on the ongoing tainted problem.

Why tainted Ministers…now this Government has the ignominy of appointing a tainted Governor!!!! Remember HDW??? S S Sidhu, a retired bureaucrat who was an accused in the Rs 420 crore HDW Submarine deal kickback scam, was on Tuesday appointed Governor of trouble-torn Manipur….remember the case was closed because of non -cooperation from Swiss and German Authorities….let off on a technicality!!!

Salmaan Rushdie says that pornography is a hallmark of Democracy…..many would say it is the bane of Democracy……yes, Democracy does require transparency….but not this type of transparency…as per Rushdie a Democracy that bans pornography is a Democracy of prudes and for prudes!!!!
