Aaj Ki Aawaz

Somnath Da says he is optimistic about resolving the impasse on the Tainted Ministers. The best way for Somanth Da to realize the gravity of the situation is to put himself in the shoes of the Opposition……Somnath Da as a Member of the Opposition would have made mincemeat of the Government on this issue!!!!

Laloo has his theory……he believes in the adage ' Billi maar dena' ( who kills the cat first) ……hence, from word go Laloo has been at his aggressive best. He will shoo down, ridicule and make allegations…then come the threats…..this is vintage Laloo!!! Laloo believes that if you cannot buy them then defy them!!!!!

Laloo is also planning another strategy for preventing a Walk Out by the Opposition …keep them seated…..during the Railway Budget Presentation. Fevicol have been requisitioned to Fevicol the Opposition Benches……Glued to their Seats Opposition listened to Laloo present his maiden Railway Budget……Media Headlines…..what a spin…..the Fevicol exercise and the Headlines will be sponsored by Laloo!!!

By the way Laloo has issued instructions that no one in the Railways should entertain requests, actually demands, of his kith and kin….for this purpose Laloo has appointed an OSD (Family Affairs) and the family members will contact this OSD for their demands!!!! Maybe the third Saala, as of now idle, will get this job!!!!

BJP questions that can the pleasure of the President be circumstantial???? Parleys are on and even the Tainted Ministers issue is being clubbed……..Package Deal!!!!
Manmohan aims at cutting the 'Middle Men' in aid Projects????? Manmohan's diktat is that efforts should be made to reduce the Middle Agencies…..like in some cases the State Governments !!!! Commies have got an inkling of this and are not too happy??? Commies feel this has Political ramifications!!!! So do Pawar, Laloo and Karunanidhi?????

The good Doctor was moved by the grit and plight of a young girl in AP. More so when he was told that the girl was doing her very best to get a Degree. The way to Manmohan's heart is education!!!!! But, Manmohan's comments that he was puzzled about the suicides, just shows the detach of a technocrat from reality!!!! Someone should advice the good Doctor that for someone to take his or her life requires Mother of all compulsions!!!

Manmohan's Information Advisor says that Manmohan will not be standing from Nandyal…….no Rao connection will be permitted. Don't you know that the name Narsimha Rao has been banned in 10 Janpath!!! Manmohanfelt Nandyal was a safe seat and so he proposed and Sonia disposed…….Manmohan is still looking out for a safe seat!!!

Musharaff has promised Mother of all Nuclear Tests in the coming two months….Musharaff is on a two month diet of only Grams (channa) and hopefully in two months he would be ready to explode!!!! Confucius says…Man who talks peace with gun usually ends up shooting at his own foot!!!!

Beware…..Laloo has a new Hero. After seeing a defiant Saddam on TV , Laloo has become his fan….suppose Rabdi and Laloo have closed their Baby Factory otherwise the next kid would have been named Saddam in case of Male and Saddami in case of female.
