Aaj Ki Aawaz

Commies at their convention say that UPA should not take their support for granted,
Basically the rift has started!!!

Commies say that in a jiffy they can withdraw support and say salaam,
For UPA digressing from the CMP this would be the daam (price)!!!

Wonder of wonders……Bardhan was seen laughing and joking,
Because he is usually seen with an acidic _expression and aggressively poking!!!

Lady Friday Soni says that turf wars are natural….terms these as games 'fighting for space'!!
But then why is there tripping in the race???

There is a difference between jostling for space and poking each other in the eye and boxing each other in the face,
This is plain and simple warring for space!!!!

So let it be written so let it be done….Sonia has communicated her diktat,
Party discipline is paramount …..no open tit for tat!!!!

Leaders should be accessible to Party workers……keep channels khullaa (open),
And on differences there should be no halla gullaa (noise)!!!

She has also let them know that her doors are open for them……take appointment!!!
But her calendar is full for the next four years…appointment disappointment!!

We all know that when a Congressi is given an appointment that shows Madam's pleasure,
And denial of appointment shows her displeasure!!!

Now JD (U) says it will not break ties with BJP for sake of forming Bihar Sarkaar,
JD (U) also wants nothing to do with Congress…..only alliance with those jo hai Laloo se far!!!

But Party sources say that Nitish and Paswan talks are in advanced stage,
Because both are charged up with anti Laloo rage!!!

Also MLAs are hankering for red light car and other trappings of power,
And Nitish's and Paswan's lollipops have turned sour!!!!

One alternative is that a Muslim is made CM of the JD(U) and LJP gathbandhan,
And by this Paswan retains his Muslim bandhan.

And JD(U) keeps its ties with BJP……BJP tacitly abstains,
Hence there are all round gains!!!!

But Laloo will cry foul …..ask Sonia to boot Paswan out,
Terming Paswan as BJP ka tout!!!

And Laloo will tell the Muslims that Paswan has done vishwaasghaat ,
Because he has done with BJP saath!!!

RJD is uncomfortable with Buta's populist moves……. RJD is worried,
That is why on the Advisors RJD wants decision to be hurried!!!

If Buta starts delivering the goods….Congress's stock will go up and Laloo's will sink more,
And more worrying for Laloo is that all RJD's misdeeds Buta will try to bring to the fore!!!

Now one of Laloo's kin has gone missing……andar ki hai baat!!!
Trying to show that kidnappings are still on and behind kidnappings Laloo did not have a haath!!!!

As Modi cannot go Keshubhai should be sent on the USA and UK trip ……. demand of Modi camp,
Because Kehsubhai is holding the defiance ka lamp!!!!

Seems Advani will ask Modi to do some give and take with the dissidents,
Tell him to treat them as Party men and not opponents!!!

Maybe a Cabinet reshuffle………Operation Placate,
Modi knows all the dissidents ka going rate!!

Have the F 16 started an arms race…….if so then USA has achieved its objective???
This was their projective!!!!

India should ignore this…….after all if there is a war it will be Nuclear,
This matter is abs clear!!!

And then they know that we have the goodies to flatten them out,
They know we can cause their rout!!!

Pakistan will have a larger area to flatten out than India….humaara Bharat mahaan!!!!
Comparatively Pakistan is just a spec in saara jahaan!!!

Having said this we should lead to give peace a chance…after all we are the big brother,
We have to ensure that our younger belligerent brother refrains from causing guddar (run riot)!!!!

Manmohan Ji is off to Mauritius……..carrying a friendly spade and taslaa!!!
To deepen and widen friendship……dosti increase karne ka hai maslaa!!!

Time Manmohan took a break…all work and no relaxation is making Manmohan cranky,
Also he is getting very tired of the hanky panky!!!

Hulka Fulka

Sharukh Khan is joining the Congress…..should join NCP if he wants his current problems to go,
He has enemies and he has created a new set……..political foe!!!

Why does he not stay close and equidistant ….that is politically????
He is an actor and so with all Political Parties he should be pally!!!

Like in the Bubbly ad (Pepsi) Politics will swallow him up and not even maro a dakaar (burp)!!
Feel his getting into politics is really bekaar!!!!
