Aaj Ki Aawaz

Is Congress bolting the gate after the horse has bolted….. can they stop a boulder that has picked up speed????
Two phases are over and now no one will pay heed!!!

Congress now wants RJD's strong candidates to win and is making Congress candidates play 'roll over' or ball,
Anti Laloo Vote Congress cannot stall!!!

Congress has still not got it…….this time people in Bihar want a change and are sick of the misrule,
You cannot fool all the people all the time…….hope Congress has heard of this rule???

And does Congress think that Paswan is going to stop……he has Laloo in a free fall??
Do you think he is going to heed Congress's call????

For all you know Congress will harm itself by trying at this very late stage to change track,
Very wrong at this very late stage to turn back!!!

Though some now say with Congress changing its tune Laloo is having the last laugh…..before he starts to sob!!!
Then he will be sobbing and bad mouthing Congress and Paswan via his kheni chewing gob!!!

That is why Congress is trying to get some SP Insurance,
Though Congress feels that Laloo will not like to loose RJDs power in the Center too and this gives them some assurance!!!

Haven't they heard that mad men usually cut the branch they are sitting on…….and Laloo fits this category,
If he looses Bihar then for him to create problems for Congress at the Center is obligatory.

Obligatory because for his come back he has to work the ropes again,
Continuing with Congress and LJP in UPA will in the long run prove to be a stain!!!

But I still feel that Congress LJP and RJD will cobble up a Sarkaar,
Congress and LJP would have achieved their goal…. made Laloo a dependent on them and weakened Laloo in Bihar!!!

Rabdi would be back to her housewife days…..watching soaps and cooking for the Laloo clan,
Laloo's house she will man!!!

Paswan has clamped up on his President Rule demand if there is not clear-cut verdict.
But there must be some reason …otherwise a hung verdict why did he predict????

Chautala says EC is on EC that is Eject Chautala mode……now even says elections in Haryana should have been held in last phase,
Says that to show EC's bias he has a strong case!!!

Chautala is also pointing fingers at EC ……. what he terms as jiggery pokery in Narwana,
Hence for his loosing this seat he is preparing a bahaana!!!

Seems EC heeded the cries of Congressis guarding the EVMs in Haryana……they were getting bored,
Sitting night and day outside the rooms where the EVMs are stored.

So the EC has advanced the counting in Haryana……however Chautala says this proves his allegation,
And that is why when EC announced the poll and counting dates in Congress there had been so much elation!!!

What transpired in the meeting Sonia had with Deshmukh…….one thing is for sure Deshmukh's logic she did not buy!!!
Must have told him "Jaata kya Shanghai???"

Good way would be to pack off Deshmukh to Shanghai on a fact-finding mission,
And his slum drive to decommission!!!

They say Deshmukh is proposing High Rise Slums… vertical slums,
Reduce slums horizontally……..easy to deduce whose tune Deshmukh hums!!!

Why has BJP sent its Goa MLAs to Jaipur…….paid holiday to keep them together and in good humour,
Or there is merit in the rumour!!!

That another trial of strength may be ordered by SC…..and what if Pannikar wins???
Jamir could be shunted out of Goa for his sins!!!

If Jamir stays …..will swear in Pannikar at noon time,
Because many took Jamir's swearing in Rane at midnight as an indirect admission of his crime.

Hulka Fulka

People considered Lexus cars unlucky after Harshad faced problems after he flaunted his Lexus car,
Now Maybach is considered unlucky on Dhariwal's plight after he too flaunted the car…..from Maybach all want to stay far!!!

Is this the reason why Mukesh has stopped using this Maybach,
His 'ordinary' Merc is back!!!!

Confucius says….The rich and famous are a very superstitious lot.
He continues….Always mortified to loose what they got.

Weekend is here………spring in your step on the coming of spring,
Literally makes one want to sing!!!

Loh phir Bahaar aayee goes the song,
Care to sing along????

Bharat Kumar
