FORUM
Aaj Ki Awaz

Seems Congress is trying to do some bypass surgery where the tainted Ministers are concerned……only problem is that they have to perform bloodless surgery!!!! Invasive Surgery and that too bloodless????

UPA propose and the Commies dispose……look at the fuel Mani is wasting in getting the approval to hike fuel prices!!!!! Commies are okay with the Petrol hike but don't want Diesel prices to be hiked. Commies are also planning to demand a cut in the Government's Fuel Bill……..seems the Country's Petroleum off take is going to fall considerably - negative demand.

Praful Patel too has got a taste of the Commie Power!!!! Commies do not want Foreign presence in Indian Airports…..would they also consider removal of the Foreign presence in CPI and CPM……their ideology!!!!!

This the United Progressive Alliance…..hardly united because of their contradictiveness…..and not progressive at all because of the Commies. This is the Disunited Backward Compulsion.

Its Laloo's Birthday today……..Rabdi's sent him a Birthday Fax…….with some Poetry…..Tum bin filen (files) kaise karoo clear, Kis moossibath mein fasaa diya mujhe dear, Tumhare bin Bihar lagtha hai soona, Aur bhi udaas ho jathi hoo jabh sunthi hoo abh tum ne taan lee hai ke Delhi mein reh ke pooren Desh ko lagaana hai chuna.

Laloo has asked the Railways not to pamper his relatives………let the Railways try to say no to one of Laloo's 'saalas'…….remember what one of them did to the Patna Cinema Halls showing Ganga Jal ( movie in which the villain is a Politician known as Sadhu Yadav)!!!!!! For the Railways…..Sar duniya ek tharaf , Laloo ka pariwaar ek tharaf.

Congress has initiated its Project UP. Wily and Kursi ke upaasak Ajit Singh is being wooed by Congress. Sonia and Rahul will now try to revitalise the Congress in UP. Lollipop being offered to Ajit Singh is a Cabinet Berth.

What about Mayawathi????? She poses no problems for the Congress……..Mayawathi is pro- establishment…..Establishment ……..Central Government which controls CBI. Mayawathi hates Shahjahan…..na hotha Shahjahan, na hotha Taj Mahal, na hotha Taj corridor.

As of now Mulayam has nothing to worry…..NDA will give him the support if required. And Mulayam knows that inspite of BJP trying to sway the Muslim votes against SP in the last elections by projecting that BJP and SP had a secret Alliance, still SP romped home with a majority of seats and Muslim Votes. Muslims feel that even with BJP , Mulayam will protect their interests!!!!

Natwar Singh is in USA. He is scheduled to meet Coiln Powell …….shouldn't someone warn Powell about Natwar????? Natwar is on a Book gifting spree…..in all probability he will gift Powell a book on Kama Sutra……like sex in Diplomacy too 'positioning' is vital. Also before he commits himself on sending Indian Troops to Iraq Natwar should call up Harkrishan Surjeet and talk to him…..otherwise like the unilateral way Natwar runs his Ministry and Diplomacy , he may be India's 'unilateral' Force in Iraq.
