On the cash distribution Amar says it's a done thing!!!
Fact is come election and money politicians do fling!!!
By saying that he gave money at a Dargah what is Amar trying to show???
Well for one he feels about this the Muslims should know!!
Because Amar would not like the Muslims to feel that they've been left out!!!!
On this he knows there should not be an iota of doubt!!!
He knows at most what will EC do????
At most warn SP and boo!!
Amar was being interviewed by IBN on this doling out of cash on Holi!!!
When something irked ex Mr. Rolli- Polly!!!!
Seems he got a feeling that his arguments were sounding silly or hilarious!!!
Seems he felt he could not deny the obvious!!!
So he got up and walked away!!!!
Ran away is what I'd say!!!!
Bottom line…. what happened in Safai,
SP can give no safai!!!
Third Front has let all know about its existence!!!
But Maya's and Jaya's reps being there instead of them did not make sense!!!
What are both the Ladies trying to show????
'We are there and then maybe not' is what they want all to know!!!
Like I said all the alliance permutation combinations will be made after the election!!!!
New Alliances will be made and in old one's there could be correction!!!
Pawar is not PM material and this is a fact!!!!
Though behind the scenes to become PM he's working on pact pe pact!!!
As Agri Minister all can see the hay making that took place!!!
'Big India Sale' will be on if he wins the PM race!!!
Really it'll be a sad day for India if Pawar wiggles into the PM's chair!!!
And the way to stop this is to ensure in Maharashtra badly NCP does fare!!
Imagine if Mulayam is able to wiggle into PM's chair!!!
Goonda Raj will be the norm and for law two hoots goondas would care!!!
Amar would acquire a diamond so big that he'll have to wear it around his galaa!!!
And Indians will have to bear night and day his halaa!!!
Of course Amar will handle all 'hay making' affairs!!!
Big B will be made the I&B Mantri cum Minister of External Affairs!!!!!
And imagine if Maya ends up in the PM's chair!!!!!
Very well sculptors all over India would fare!!!
All over India there would be statues of Maya!!!!
Wherever you go you would be under one of her statue's saaya!!!
If Karat becomes PM India would see red!!!
And he'd ensure that we all dress up in red!!!!
India Stocks would go to zero and deficit would rocket!!!!
And every Indian would have to carry Mao's and Marx's books in the pocket!!
If Advani becomes the PM he'll ensure or our recall faculty improves day by day!!!
He'll recall the past whenever he has something to say!!!
And for his toughness in PMO there will be a fully equipped Gym!!!
On the gym door will be a placard 'Loh Purhash Gym and to be only used by him'!
Mohna today remains the best bet!!!!
Hope abs fit quickly he does get!!!
And this time he should enter Parliament on the back of a popular vote!!!!
Hope iss baat ko karre ga Mohna note!!!
Confucius says….. Mohna is the best of the worst without a doubt!!!
But the baggage he comes with hits his credibility with gout!!!
Adds...... If Third Front comes India will be in a fix!!!
Hope NDA or UPA comes to power and saves India from this 'useless mix'!!!!

Poster "Romel", who commented on this website yesterday (viz. Fri, Mar 13), has made comments which are in extremely poor taste, with reference to Central Paramilitary Forces. He alludes, in a poorly veiled fashion to the Bangladesh Rifles incident, and in an uncoordinated and poorly articulated manner, suggests that such an incident is likely to occur in India, unless the "demands" of BSF and other CPO's are not met. First of all, such threats, and abuse are dangerous talk. Just because a paramilitary force has weapons does not mean its "demands" must be instantly met. Luckily, In India, unlike in Bangladesh, our CPO's (especially border guarding ones like BSF and AR) are disciplined. In the second place, these organisations are headed by deputationists from the IPS and Indian Army, because CPOs have no organised Group A cadre of their own. Even if in the BSF, the case can be made, because they at least have an officer cadre of their own, and their own training academy, it is irresponsible to say such things and incite a revolt. If CPO cadre officers such as Romel are threatening a mutiny, they should immediately be relieved of their responsibilities, and placed under arrest by Internal Security agencies, and probes should be launched into the conspiracy, if any, so that it is nipped in the bud, and such anti national elements do not gain the upper hand, under the guise of the imaginary "frustrations" of CPO officers.
