Aaj Ki Aawaz

So now Laloo has the backing of practically all the Allies in the UPA,
Of course not Paswan's who feels Laloo is responsible for Bihar's decay.

Seems Pawar feels that with BJP on the decline there is a vacuum in the Opposition,
So now Congress has an Opposition within the Alliance itself …..this is my supposition.

Because BJP is now too preoccupied with internal strife.....and literally drifting,
The internal squabbles , defeat moroseness and lack of confidence do not seem to be lifting.

Maharashtra Congress has responded to Pawar….Mount Pawar is rumbling,
They lament that Pawar had no right to air his grumbling.

Pawar plays his cards very close to his chest,
And his party men go with him saying , "Pawar Sahib knows best."

Laloo and Commies share a unique bond,
But they are not fishes of the same pond???

Laloo epitomizes all that is wrong in our Society,
While Commies boast of their propriety.

So where is their meeting ground……power ki hai bath,
For this they are saath saath!!!

Today is Priyanka's birthday and a buttering ad wishes her Bon Voyage….in journey of her life????
Maybe this is the year she will enter active politics….rumour is rife.

But if Priyanka enters then what will Rahul do,
Well as per insider accounts he will remain active too.

Congress hopes the siblings will bring colour back to UP Congress's cheeks,
This also is one of the many 10 Janpath leaks.

Manmohan has indeed become politically savvy….Mamtha met him with a list of her grouses,
Manmohan just told her that she should shift 'houses'.

That is from NDA shift into Congress and join the Cabinet as a Minister with kaam,
Not like NDA times when she was Minister without a job…..only Mantri for naam.

In fact Manmohan told Mamtha, "Miss Mamtha we miss you",
But Mamtha did not respond that she missed Congress too.

Congress is trying to get Mamtha to return to Congress…Commies look at this with disgust and disdain,
Just take the name of Mamtha and on Commie faces you can see the pain!!!

Congress with Mamtha could shake the Commies in their bastion….Commies know this,
That is why they will try their level best to ensure that Congress and Mamtha unison efforts go 'tai tai fis'.

Hulka Fulka

Can't they do something to put Indian Hockey out of its misery and pain???
Sack Gill as everyone connected with Indian Hockey look at his term with disdain.

Gill has taken Indian Hockey to the pits,
And Indian Hockey will remain there as long as in the IHF's President's Chair he sits.

He says Indian players are not Olympic material???
Fact is he is not President material ……treats players as if they are immaterial.

Sack Gill and let him drift into oblivion,
Until he returns back to the pavilion.

Speaking of back to the pavilion….. Mogambo Amrish Puri has gone back,
Was really good as a villain….. in Bollywood villains he was top of the pack.
