FORUM
Aaj Ki Aawaz

Antony knows that the UPA's alliance at the Centre is affecting his Party's and more so his own prospects in Kerela…….so Antony has preferred to let someone else take the fall!!! Kindly add one more name to the 'Waiting List' for Cabinet appointments!!!!

Amrinder was on the hit list……but now with his soaring popularity his displacement would be suicidal for Congress. And anyway he has made it amply clear that he is not willing to swap his Chief Ministership for a Cabinet berth….…it is Punjab or Amrinder will form a new Party…….Patiala Dal!!!

Uma has time on her hands….so she penned a letter to Dharam Bhaji (brother)……Dharam did a Manmohan with the letter…just dropped it like a hot potato!!!! Also seems Dharam's honeymoon with Gowda is over. Though Dharam has got the blessings of the Tyaagin ( Sonia) he has incurred the Sadhvi's curse!!!

UPA's 100 days were celebrated quietly!!! When it comes to Partying this is not UPA …United Partying Alliance…….all the partners celebrated separately….. Congress in contemplation, NCP in anticipation, RJD in degradation, LJP in evaluation …….external Allies…..Commies in semi elation (EPF reconsideration) and SP in constipation!!!!

Manmohan loves karelas…..but he does not like neem chadaa karelas!!! Manmohan does not like a certain person who was part of the NDA team that visited his Office…….. and insiders say that this person brought out the worse in Manmohan. Manmohan just loathes his monologues!!!!

Advani says lets forgive and forget!!! Confucius says if you forget then what are you forgiving????? Better just forgive!!!!! Advani too realizes the pressures on Manmohan………Manie pehle hi baar dekha gussa Manmohan Ji kaa!!!!

The taint in his Cabinet is Manmohan's biggest worry……Lagaa Cabinet mein daag mitaaoon kaise…clean karroo kaise???? Laloo cannot be wished away and certainly not washed away…….Dekho aapke Sarkaar ki haalat kya ho gaee Singh Saab, image is really very very kharaab……..Manmohan Ji the turbaned superman floats like a butterfly but his tainted five sting like bees (remember the song Mohammed Ali who floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee)!!!!

In the UPA Government the Home Ministry is now perceived to be a week link!!!! Shivraj Patil better do something if he wants to remain in Sonia's prospective PM list!!!! No doubt he is now number one on this list but both Arjun Singh and Pranab Da are making their moves!!!!

With the situation becoming bad to worse the Congress in Maharashtra want Priyanka to campaign in Maharashtra!!! They do not want The Forsaker (Sonia) or The Inheritor (Rahul) …they want The Lady in Waiting (Priyanka) !!!! Fact is that today if Congress wants to win it has to get The Undertaker ( Mayawathi).

Natwar Singh keeps on harping ' Aathe kya Shimla' (remember Aathi kya Khandala) to the Pakis!!! This is becoming an irritant ……..for the sake of the Country why can't Natwar get over his servility ridden bias and just take up matters from where Vajpayee left?????

Hulka Fulka………Aap ke ghar mein koyi rehta hai, hum nahi kehte , Security Agencies kehti hain ( Hinds song aap ke kamre mein koyi rehta hai) ………quite a few MPs have rented out part of their allotted houses in Delhi!!!! Security Agencies must take into consideration that as now the term of Lokh Sabha is not certain the MPs have to rake in moolah as soon as possible!!!! Won't be surprised if they lease out their cars on a daily basis and charge extra for the red light on the car!!!!
