Aaj Ki Aawaz

Like Jois the other three Governors on Congress's hit list , Khurana, Parmanand and Shastri, have decided to defy the Central Government's diktat. They cite the CMP……no hire and fire as per the CMP….CMP is explicit on this . All three should contact Harkrishan Surjeet !!!!!

The one word diktat to Chidambram from Sonia Gandhi for this budget is 'Populist'……. Chidambram has been saying that this Budget would be reformist!!!! Chidambram alias Harry Porter will indeed need wizardry to give a reformist populist budget!!!!!

Chidambram may not carry the usual briefcase , containing his Budget Speech, to Parliament. The Ethnic Lobby surrounding Sonia have asked for a Ethnic Briefcase………hope he does not come carrying a Jute Bag ,ethnic and eco friendly…..in his effort to make this a friendly budget for everyone the Budget may end up being just eco friendly one!!!!

Laloo is now planning to send the urchins on Railway Stations to schools. Like the Railway tracks please keep in mind Laloo's populist measures and politics run parallel. Laloo is a master at attracting attention and deflecting attention.

While he is at it why does he not do something about the spitting on platforms???? In Mumbai buildings to prevent spitting on the walls, the walls have tiles of Gods and Goddesses. But, if Laloo had to do something like this there would be tiles with pictures of Currency!!!!! Laloo is not amused ………news of underground political activity is upsetting Laloo. Laloo is planning at asking Madam to appoint him as Marshal ,UPA!!!! He would then look for a suitable prime property in New Delhi to house the Office and the surveillance equipment.

Manmohan Singh in an attempt to tone up Administration is mulling a proposal to give fixed term appointments to Bureaucrats. With Laloo time and again saying that his aim is to make Sonia PM , Manmohan should try to do something akin for himself, from the Congress Party……or is he prepared to trade place with Sonia if and when the time comes. With Manmohan at the helm of NAC and Sonia as PM , NAC would mean Napping And Chatting…..because that is all they would be doing!!!!

West Bengal Government is using Saurav Ganguly to hard sell everything……from tea to IT. Hope they do not use him to Market Communism????? Gung ho the Commies have identified three States where they intend to work on to increase their presence. Ganguly's Management Company must be having nightmares……Pepsi and Commies just do not gel!!!!!

Saurav's chum Harbhajan Singh has opened a Beauty Parlour in partnership with Sylvie…..on the opening Yuvraj Singh volunteered to be the first customer……as of now the only customer !!!! Bhaji is anxiously waiting for the next match to be held at Mohali so that he can get both teams and the add ons to visit his Beauty Parlour.
