Aaj Ki Aawaz

Sonia's road show in Mumbai did more damage than good,
Her rushing about put the Voters in a foul mood.
Looked like she came , she waved and she sped,
There were so many traffic snarls that Mumbaites saw red.
Does she think that people will be enamoured by her presence and waving hand???
She has wrong notions that just her presence is that grand.

At Matunga in Mumbai Congress paid Rs.100 each to people to attend Sonia's mini rally,
As per estimates at the rally a dismal 1000 was the tally.
This should give an indication how popular she is in Mumbai….money had to be doled out for people to attend,
Some more money had to given so that some would gleefully cheer and wave back…pretend.
In a Tamil speaking area Sonia ended her speech in Marathi…..people were dumbfounded,
No groundwork got her grounded.
In the end people say that Sonia's mini rallies were like….2 minute noodles….fast and bland,
All that they got to see was a woman in a tearing hurry waving her hand.
Mayawati boasts that post Maharashtra elections she will be in demand,
Lets see will she opt for the Lotus on the Tiger's back or grasp The Hand!!!!
As per indications BJP-Sena will be ahead of Congress- NCP by at least 5-10 seats….Rebels and Mayawati will hold the key,
Then all will depend on who will agree to Rebel's and Mayawati's fee!!!
Today is the Commie Congress coordination meeting… Commies have their sleeves rolled up,
Million Dollar question is that is this to fight or just sup???
Commies say they are concerned about the NE strife and want details of the Kashmir talks,
Where Shivraj is concerned the Commies are now hawks.
Within and externally 'Five gun' Shivraj is facing pot shots.… gentleman in a fix,
This is now amply clear that HM is no longer Number Two in the Cabinet….as per the present hierarchy HM is number six.
Advani will be complaining to Shivraj about Shivraj letting the HM's prestige being lowered,
Advani is an ex-HM and will offer him TOT …..how not to be cowered???
This Government has the record number of GOMs…..one appointed everyday,
And the objective of GOM is GOM…Go On Muddling…..to our dismay.
Now a GOM has been appointed on tacit divestments of healthy PSUs….Government needs money….and lots of it,
Problem is that these small lot disinvestments will undermine future disinvestments …..in the long run PSUs will take the hit.
Because tomorrow the Government will need more money and will look at selling the crown jewels…..disinvestments are inevitable,
Whether they do it over or under the table.
Badal says that Amrinder is another Laloo…..King is the jester in his own Court!!!
Some say that Laloo will not take this as a compliment and will definitely retort.
But yes slowly but surely Amrinder is doing to Punjab what Laloo has done to Bihar State,
Dandaa Raj, Goonda gardi, bankruptcy……will lead to the same fate.
SC has cancelled the Petrol Pump allotments made by NDA…..Aiyer is happy to say the least,
Now he will be able to re-allot the Pumps and make it a Congress feast
Aiyer grandly announces that his daughter is still on the Dhabol Panel,
Not easy to dispose off someone who has with 10 Janpath a direct channel.
Another example of 10 Janpath overriding 7 Race Course,
Aiyer knows and used the right power source.
Confucius says……The person driving the car is the one who steers the car,
He continues……When back seat driving is done the car will not travel very far.
PS….My friends at NDTV seem to be yearning to know who I am,
Tracer worms have been bombarding my email address….why this sham???
On their Channel they criticize whom they please,
But when someone criticises them they look at it as sleaze.
Or maybe this is for Madam or Laloo,
Now you know why I feel that NDTV is chaloo.
