FORUM
Aaj Ki Aawaz

After presenting the Railway Budget Laloo went Studio hopping, giving interviews and participating in discussions…..at the end TV Channels were hopping mad!!!!! On questions of a politically loaded budget and the tainted Ministers issue Laloo was just rude …..in fact he behaved pathetically . Aaj Tak was at the receiving end and the Interview was cut short as Laloo resorted to crude comments…… akin to (alleged) Chor machaye shor!!!!!

Laloo objects about being called tainted…..yes he agrees he is painted…..for the Budget presentation Laloo had a make up job…….arre bhai sabh log aisa hi karthe hai jab TV peh jaathe hai!!!!

The Hotels in Delhi heaved a sigh of relief that Laloo and the RJD gang did not descend on any Hotel for a post budget celebration. Last time after the swearing in ceremony Laloo and Gang had descended on the House of Ming at the Taj and the staff at the House of Ming still quiver when they recall that day!!!!!

Laloo says Manmohan and Chidambram have promised him funds!!!! Both slid down in their seats in the Lokh Sabha on hearing this!!!! Even when he started eulogising Sonia and the cameras panned Sonia, she was seen putting her hand on her forehead embarrassingly…..Hai mein kya karu Ram mujhe laloo mil gaya!!!!!

We all know what Laloo has done to Bihar…..Laloo Land. We now have an insight as to what he is going to do the Railways……Laloo Rail!!!! Andher nagri chaupat Ministry, khali dimaag Minister aur khali pocket Ministry!!!!

Sonia says that the BJP is suffering from power withdrawal symptoms and that BJP is ignoring the people's mandate. BJP says that Congress is suffering from 'overloading'…..they say Congress is assuming Power that is not the mandate of the People……for one in no way is the Mandate a pro Congress or pro Sonia mandate!!!!

Vajpayee has questioned Congress's ideology. Pseudo sycophantic!!!! Congress's objective….Sonia as PM……. Congress's means to this end …….for the next year Populist measures……then go in for elections!!!!

Jagdish Tytler is a Minister at loose ends. If you see the following ad in the Newspapers do not be surprised……Required 100 square feet Office in a prestigious building for a new but expanding Ministry. Kindly Contact Jagdish Tytler , Camp : Parliament Canteen. Recently thinking that there is some interphase between his Ministry and MEA, Tytler went to MEA. Seems Natwar Singh has issued strict instructions in the MEA that Tytler should be kept at an arms length…undiplomatically !!!!

Rahul's Ayah in Parliament , Rajiv Shukla has been pulling strings with the Media to get on to Talk Shows. Recently on one talk show on the Budget , while others spoke on matters with in-depth knowledge , all that Shukla could say was that the Indian Troika of Manmohan , Chidambram and Montek would do the job!!!! Shukla Ji look down and you will see the Commie shackles on their ankles!!!! Shukla needs to choose the Shows……..or better just stick to chaperoning Rahul and opening and closing doors at Page Three Parties!!!!

Hulka fulka…..Hillary Clinton abuses……the sailor type abuses…..in fact when the expletives are flowing Bill becomes a billi and that too a bhigi billi!!!

Some Pakistanis were on a visit to Delhi. Amongst them was a bachelor who was a good friend of Kushwant Singh. He requested the others to join him for a drink at Kushwant's place…all refused!!! Because they were scared of Kushwant's reputation of having a glad eye for Pakistani women. The Bachelor informed them that the old man was well past his prime and there was nothing to worry on this account. One of the men informed him that Kushwant now did his voyeurism by his pen and got his jollies doing so!!!! And by the way Kushwant Singh says I write what I feel . That is why he thankfully says, "A condom has still not been invented for the Pen!!!!"
