Aaj Ki Aawaz
PM says his Sarkaar has had a reasonably good term but what do Indians feel????
Most will say 'really bad term and it'll take years for the wounds to heal'!!!
Yes he and his Ministers have had a whale of a time!!!!
For the India and Indians majority have not cared a dime!!!
In China PM blamed the West for the current economic woes!!!
Said form the West the economic downturn flows!!!
But our FM has aided and abetted the downturn!!!
Both ends of the candle he chose to burn!!!
His fixation with growth and stocks made things go from bad to worse!!!
This FM has turned out to be for this Nation a curse!!!
He's your FM if you are involved in the Bourses,
Or you live a five star life and spend time on golf courses!!!
A billion plus users and consumers should keep recession at bay!!!
But what can you do when the FM is working the other way night and day!!
Has he even given thought to staving off the impact of recession in the West????
All he wants you to believe is 'PC knows best'!!!!
And when the West recession takes its toll here too!!!
What do you think our FM will do????
He'll then embark on a blaming spree!!!!
But silver lining is from the clutches of this FM India's economy will soon be free!!!
'Back of inflation has been broken' is Montek's take!!!
He should shop on his own and then this comment he should make!!!!
Inflation has broken Aam Aadmi's back,
Heartening fact is very soon from his current post boriya bistar he too will pack!!!
Congress has realized it cannot come back to power,
Things have really gone too sour!!!
So general elections will not be preponed!!!
Fact is Congress would be looking for ways and means to get the elections postponed!!!!
Like..... declare an emergency of the financial kind!!!
Rest assured on this Sonia's think tank is applying its mind!!!
Sonny Rahul in the meantime says he will create Obamas in every nukkad and street!!
Wish he'd checked out before announcing this feet!!
Such leaders are born ...... such leaders cannot be created!!!!
Rahul's statements are again bordering on the ludicrous of belated!!!
Maybe Rahul was throwing the majority minority a tackle with this as bait!!!!
Wish he's checked out that Obama is a Christian 'as on date'!!!
Yes he has a Muslim past and a Muslim name too but he goes to the Church!!!
If this was Rahul's aim he should have done on Obama some research!!!
Or maybe Rahul feels Obama is a closet Muslim and so this tackle with the bait!!!
To know whether Rahul is an 'early bird' fisher or totally at sea not too long we'll have to wait!!!
Rahul Baba I feel you are a decent guy and mean good!!!
You are always under the scanner and this needs to be understood!!!
You cannot aspire for the top post and avoid the microscope,
With criticism you have to cope!!!
In fact chamchas will do you harm and critics will do you a lot of good!!
This too needs to be understood!!
When asked which Indian Leader is like Obama Praful Patel said 'me'!!!!
In him no quality of Obama does one get to see!!!
The only similarity is both are colored ....one brown and the other black!!!!
I'd say five years in power and seems power has made him crack (loony)!!!
However we do have an Obama but of the nefarious kind!!!!
Amar Singh who has worked up the ladder but by applying a nefarious mind!!!
He too has the gift of the gab!!!!
But this gift he uses to verbally abuse and stab!!!
Confucius says....Obamas are born and Osamas created!!!
What would you get if an Obama mindset lady and Osama mindset man were to be mated!!!!!
Adds..... You'd get George Bush Junior,
With due apologies to Barbara Bush and George Bush Senior!!!

Powers To CAG
I heard CAG on Loksabha TV Chanel. He is a constitutional authority who informs the Lok Sabha and discharges his Constitutional responsibility by exercising financial control thorough audit. This institution definitely needs to be strengthened to strengthen our Democracy keeping in view increase deployment of Central funds at district level. Crores and Crores of public money that are being given to IAS Babus at district level goes unaudited and is virtually looted. That is why nothing goes to the common man for whom the bell tolls. It is gobbled up by the Bureaucrats and local goons. IAS, that is why, is opposing it as if they have become the Constitution themselves. Look who is trying to get out of and throw away "Political Control"??? They shout at others. All well wisher of Democracy must support empowering the CAG as one of our Constitutional authorities. Every penny of the Central government needs audit, accounting and responsibility. Let DC account for the crores of Flood Relief. Let banks account for Crores of subsidies. Even if it amounts to broader sharing of loot, even then it would be democratic and not IAS monopoly.
