Political Outcomes?
For Parliament Session debates on Govt. performance, MPs / Newspaper editors / Secretaries, it is heard are scrambling for the "Outcomes & Outlays Report" of Dr. Nandini Azad (Ex- Planning Commission, Outcome Division), - Which is believed to contain authentic information on all Ministries performance ? PM Manmohan Singhs praise of the Outcome report makes it more sought off in Govt. "corridors". Only available copy, it is rumoured is outside Delhi, in a bank "vault". Whispers are that a MOS waylaid the author in a plane for it but with no "Outcomes".

Experienced in Outcomes for vote banks (and with only 29 mths to elections), trusted technocrats like Dr. Azad (from previous Cong regimes) seem to be "the flavour of the hour" - Roping them into Govt. could definitely have "political" Outcomes! for bolstering image and performance ???

Can Big B deliver a hit for Mulayam in the UP elections???
Or will he be one of the biggest rejections???
Please don't misjudge or underestimate the Indian electorate!!! Laloo got a boot from the Bihar electorate that he's still smarting from!!!! Big B may be good in acting and could use his acting prowess at SP Rallies or he may recite his Dad's Madhushala to get the Public in a drinking mood to accept booze handouts……. but beyond that what else can a naachne gaanlewala do???? In fact if he's a good friend he should advise his friends Mulayam and Amar not to waste their money and energies on a lost cause….. both can shift to Mumbai and Mulayam can start his own WWF ( Wrestling) and Amar can get involved in movie producing….. both Amar and Mulayam should shift into Big B's bunglow Prateeksha…… what an appropriate name!!!
PC ko milla Number One Mantri ka crown!!
Iss baat parr Laloo karr raha hai frown!!
People have not bitten Laloo's bait…… for the past few weeks Laloo had managed to get himself positioned in the Media for this crown!!! Would have been a real joke if Laloo the Buffoon had been crowned as Mantri Number One!!! But Laloo tried his best…… he wooed the Media…….. when the voting was taking place he and his eight children and their friends and then thier friends were on their computers punching in vote after vote for Laloo!!! But Public got the last word……… and his Number Two position is because he tried for the Number One spot….. other Ministers did not try and had Laloo not tried he would have come in the last four!!!!
Mantri has shot his Government in the foot,
Kindly hear Aiyer's new toot!!!
Aiyer, who has a huge problem with PC says India's 8% growth rate is a farce!!! As per Aiyer the 8% growth is only the growth of Billionaires in India!!!! Aiyer should limit his comments to the Queen's English and not comment on Economic matters!!! Just recently Aiyer was seen begging from a Royal Couple on a visit to India!!! Sonia should ensure that Aiyer is muzzled when he comes out in Public ….. and the lesser he comes into Public the better!!!
It's very difficult to bring down prices that rise,
Now when Oil prices have fallen all that you hear from Murli's murli are lies!!!
First there was news that Government was contemplating a reduction in domestic fuel prices as World Oil Prices had fallen!!! Then Murli bajaoed his Murli and said that Oil Prices would be revised downwards only when World Oil Prices fall to $ 50/ barrel!! He's not clarified whether he meant the Indian Basket or Brent Crude!!! There is some bug in the Petroleum Minister's chair that makes the incumbent abs pro the Oil Companies!!! Nowadays Murli's murli bajaoes only pro Oil Company tunes!!! What he needs to do is research and find out what is the true meaning of Public Sector Undertaking?????
Jethmalani ji why should someone frame Manu???
But no use arguing with Jethmalani as his frame of mind is 'mein na maanu'!!!
First why should someone want to frame Manu??? Why is he blaming the Media for doing its job???? Why did Jethmalani who had announced his retirement form regular Legal practice take up Manu's case???? Why is Jethmalani harping that Manu is ready for a retrial??? Why does Jethmalani get so angry when a question is asked about his intentions to take the Manu case and his line of Defense????? Why does he want Justiice Sodhi to excuse himself from this case???? Why does he say that Clients lie but Advocates do not??? Why is he ignoring the pleas from his family and close friends not to take this case???? Why is he not agreeing that he himself has asked for drinks way beyond the bar working hours at Tamrind Court??? Has he asked Manu if he is guilty or not??? Seems now its time that Public started sending 10 Questions to Ram Jethamalani everyday ( recall his ten question to Rajiv during the Bofors days)!!!
For Ash money comes out of a parcel and not from a tree,
And its well known that in life nothing comes free!!!
Whose work can this be…. a jilted lover, a jealous competitor, an over zealous fan!!!! But why such a huge amount when the same effect could have been got by a much lesser amount??? Amar Singh of course will give this a Sonia angle!!! Have Ash and Abhishek already got married ??? Bachchans 'pooh pooh' this!!! Maybe the Euros are a gift from someone who knows that Ash and Junior Bluffmaster has got married……. this someone just went fidaa!!!!
In SA Indian team received a sound thrashing,
To new depths Indian Team is crashing!!
As BCCI and Indian team Players laugh to the Bank……. Indian Team's reputation is plummeting!!! Vengsarkar has already commented that the Indian Team is bereft of talent?? What does each run and wicket cost India ??? BCCI Members lord it out……. for example do you know that it takes a humongous amount to select the Indian Team!!! Its time we did a performance Audit of BCCI!!!
