Aaj Ki Aawaz

Congress has achieved its goal to downsize Laloo,
Fact is of late Laloo was proving to be too chaloo!!!

Now in both Bihar and Jharkhand Congress will now tom-tom for UPA Sarkaars,
Fact is that in both places Congress on its own has faced haars!!!!

Independents in both Bihar and Jharkhand will be laughing their way to banks,
Independents in Haryana would today be real cranks!!!

Rabdi has submitted her resignation…..took some time to convince Laloo,
So ultimately Rabdi was packed off too meet Buta as Laloo simply could not taaloo (postpone)!!!

By the way Buta is rubbing his hands in glee,
Would definitely be wondering/calculating 'what is there in this for me'????

His 'lovely' son Lovely will be working behind the scenes,
The 'bean counter' counting the beans!!!!

In Jharkhand Guruji has literally suffered a 'son stroke' ,
Though about his becoming CM Guruji still continues to croak!!!

After being rejected he still croaks that people of Jharkahand have voted for a Secularist Sarkaar,
Fact is Guruji ko padi kai Jharkhandio ki maar and he will now get Congress se fatkaar!!!

Jaitley and Pramod have wide smiles on their mugs,
And for a change are exchanging hugs!!!

Jaitley and Pramod had their pockets picked in Bihar….one lost his mobile and the other money,
People picking politicians ki pocket….doesn't it sound funny????

Paswan has had so much sugar since yesterday that he is on a sugar 'high',
Laloo on the other hand shuns anything sweet and all that he does is sigh!!!

As it is sugar in not good for both Laloo and Rabdi …..so this could be a blessing in disguise,
If they had won they would have had to eat sugar like Paswan and their blood sugar would rise!!!

Beware……Laloo is in a foul mood ,
Now you get to see the real Laloo…..rude and crude!!!

In Haryana Selja is being used to ensure that Bhajan stays 'in line',
Otherwise a belligerent Bhajan will be on a trip of 'I , Me and mine'!!!!

And now they say one of the stalwarts will be accommodated in Manmohan Sarkaar,
This will be to placate him for CM ki race mein haar!!!!

Why did Manmohan have to write to Sonia on the Budget Proposals…..are they katti with each other???
If they are on talking terms he could have just spoken to her and saved himself from this bother!!!!

Confucius advices……..Write only what is right otherwise use your verbal talents to do the job!!!
He continues……..Learn when to write and when to use your gob!!!!

PC rose to present the Budget………wry smile on his face,
Picture of calmness and grace!!!

Would not like to comment at this early stage,
Lets see after the Pundits have gone through it threadbare…..between each line and each page!!!!

Seems first objective was Garibi Hatao,
Then was SC and ST and Minority patao!!!

On personal tax ……changes as expected,
Did what was being projected!!!

All was okay till he made that ludicrous proposal about levying a tax on cash withdrawals,
Then all that he got from all around were angry bawls and calls!!!

Withdraw 10,000 and pay Sarkaar 10………why should we pay to withdraw our own paisa,
Goes against any logic ……..kaise ho saktha hai aisaa????

If PC wants to keep tabs he is welcome to instruct Banks to give info to Sarkaar for all withdrawals above dus hazaar,
This proposal of his sure does mar!!!!

In Punjab Badal was given a public bath on instructions of Roderick …..what a shame!!!!
But then seems the Roderick was just playing Amrinder's game!!!!

So next time anyone wants to present a memorandum to Roderick be prepared for a public bath,
This is his way of showing his wrath!!!!

Amrinder must be jumping with joy,
But by this act has shown all that Roderick is his toy!!!!

Hulka Fulka

Is Rajdeep Sardesai for NDTV the new Spokesman of Laloo……..on the idiot box seems aisaa?????
Should ask Rajdeep is this for any ideological reasons or just for plain ole pasia?????

As Journalists got together for Laloo's impromptu Press Conference Rajdeep behaved like Laloo's rep,
And seemed pretty happy with himself as if he was something very hep!!!

Has he heard of birds of a feather flock together……..bond,
Seems Laloo and Rajdeep are fishes of the same pond!!!!

But NDTV's Budget coverage was good…….in fact the best,
Hope they follow…..Good better best never let it rest???
