Aaj Ki Aawaz

SC has asked for Laloo's ghotala files…..Laloo says Congress is behind this,
And mind you he says this with a hiss!!!

Laloo feels that Congress is now working to use 'blackmail' for his support,
Says that on this matter he has an inside report.

Laloo in the Railway Budget will push for raising fares in upper classes,
Of course will not touch the fares that affect the masses.

He has his reasons for being spiteful against the educated lot who he feels travel in upper classes,
But this time he should realize that in Bihar he is being done in by the masses!!!

He has said that for the Media and educated people 'mein damn care',
To them on his being kicked out in this election he has issued a dare!!!

But how come he mistook the angry stare of the masses as kindly glances???
If he only had realized the anger he would have realized how futile are his chances????

Manmohan would do India and Indians a big favour by ensuring that Laloo remains an absentee Railway Minister,
The man is the epitome of anything that is sinister!!!

Media should be wary of Laloo as now he considers the Media to be Bhajapa waallas,
But considers them a part of his family as he also calls them Saalas!!!

What you shall sow so you shall not reap…….this is what is happening in the procurement of VVIP Jets,
BJP ordered the Jets and UPA Leaders will get to use them as each one of those responsible for the procurement fumes and frets!!!

Manmohan after showing his initial reluctance now merrily rides in the BMWs…..while the procurer Vajpayee rides a fateechar ambi car,
Fall out of jeeth and haar!!!

Aiyer is pushing for long term oil contracts……beyond one year,
But what about if prices plummet is the fear.

Such Contracts are not tailor made……..chit bhi meri aur patt bhi meri,
Unilateral Contracts would be termed as hera pheri!!

But nothing can stop Aiyer….he wants to be India's Sheikh,
And for this he will put anything at stake!!!

All of a sudden in the Tourism Ministry and ITDC miniature whisky bottles are to be found galore,
This is because whisky brands are jostling for space after Renuka has shown Johnny Walker the door.

Renuka after sending Johnny 'walking' is trying to 'scotch' rumours of favouritism,
She says that her Ministry believes in open market opportunism!!!

The crux of the problem is pilferage……will not stop by just changing brands,
She has to find and cut of the pilfering hands!!!

PC feels that he is now a juggler who is juggling as people try to push and pull him around,
Feels that nowhere in the World would such kind of juggling be found!!!

Now they say PC plans to cut the tax rate but at the same time sops will go,
So to Commie pressures that tax rates go up PC will be saying an emphatic no!!!

Yes he will tell them that he has plugged the loops and indirectly raised the tax,
Commies will of course cry out that with taxing the pants off the rich PC is being lax!!!

Hulka Fulka

Queen will not be attending the re-marriage of Charles….why is this???
Public ko karnaa hai kush and so marriage ko de rahi hai miss!!!

At the Windsor ceremony she and the children from Charles and Camilla's previous 'mistakes' will be present,
And many feel Diana via her memory and popularity will be omnipresent!!

Not much on the Mukesh Anil spat…….though they say Mukesh should realize that bro is bro and should not be replaced by dosts,
As for Anil they say he would get over his penchant to put Reliance in any unapproved commitment in his political boasts!!!

The older brother reduces this bachpan ke dosts…..thus stopping their meddling,
The younger brother his political dosts……and thus stop his political peddling.

In Delhi you get Mineral Water gol guppas and now Bhelwallas in Mumbai will wear gloves……who are they kidding???
Marketing strategy ki hai yeh bidding!!!

And then for nothing they make you pay four times the amount,
All this hullabaloo about hygiene in road side food please discount!!!
