Aaj Ki Aawaz
Mohna for his rented Gauwhati house ne kiya hai 3 saal ka rent pay!!!
And for this period he wants his chosen Cabinet to stay!!!
In 3 years his own contract will be up for renewal!!!
In two years nine months on Mohan's continuance Sonia and Rahul will do a reviewal!!!
Congressis nowadays SMS each other 'kuch milaa kyaa'????
And 'Cabinet formation pe kya samachar hai nayaa'!!!
Sonia has to keep her flock together as Kursi is every Congressis ultimate aim!!!
And Sonia has mastered this game!!!!
Rahul's sacrifice message is being ignored by power hungry Congressmen!!
In their dictionary Mantripad is the golden egg laying hen!!!
From Ally berth pains now its Congressis giving berth pain!!!!
And this was bound to happen as theirs is politics for gain!!!
How can Shivraj be given a Cabinet berth?????
In his last stint he's proved that for Cabinet berth he is not worth!!!
Yes his loyalty to Sonia is unquestionable!!!!
But his priorities are questionable!!!
Yes why doesn't Sonia appoint him as a Guv!!!!
And then Shivraj can indulge in his first love!!!
First love is looking dapper and for this changing togs 6 times a day!!!!
Because fresh and dapper looking Shivraj likes to stay!!!
Rahul is a boxer and he punches powerfully and with precision!!!!
His message...if you want to criticize me please reconsider your decision!!
When he punches the punching bag his doggy Piddi (his dog) yaps in cheer!!!
So some would say why fear him when his doggy nahi karta Rahul ko fear???
My advice to the non playing Captain of Team Congress is 'get started'!!!!
People have great expectations and that is why to power Congress has been carted!
Okay Party has to be strengthened but this should be a means to an end!!!
And end is that to problems that plague India and Indians ka karro The End!!
Now Congress needs a 'war room' to perform and deliver!!!!!
And apathy is it is suffering berth pangs but Cabinet nahi ho raha hai 'deliver'!!!
Performance of Ministers and ghoos levels need to be monitored everyday!!!!
'A stitch in time saves nine' they say!!!
Laloo says he is returning to Bihar to get back his popularity!!!!!
For this on why he lost his popularity he needs clarity!!!
Today Bihar has come out of the jungle raaj he had put it into!!!!
Goondas were the law and propriety was flushed down the loo!!!
Money was made by those in power left , right and center!!!!
In fact Sarkaar was public ke liye The Tormentor!!!
And if you love Bihar and Biharis like you say you do Mr. Laloo!!!!
Then pray ke Nitish Raaj rahe chaloo ( go on)!!!!
After milking Bihar now Laloo needs to run his Dairy Farm and sell dudhu!!!!
And should realize that Public ka now he cannot make budhoo!!!!
Confucius says….. to make amends one has to first accept one's faults!!!!
And for this at each one of our tables the buck halts!!!!

The Natural Allies
By M.N. Buch
The two largest political parties in India today are the Indian National Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party. There was a time when the Congress merely had to put up a broomstick as a candidate for election and that, too, would have been elected. Today the position is different because the Congress is unable to muster sufficient support to win a majority in Parliament. BJP started small but achieved a high watermark when Atal Bihari Vajpayee became Prime Minister as the head of a coalition called National Democratic Alliance (NDA) . Congress and BJP in many ways share the same ideological ethos and the constituency, rural and urban, is almost the same for both parties. This means that the votes are divided between the factions supporting each of the parties and the marginal vote determines which will have the larger strength. The Congress calls itself secular and hitherto it did have the support of the minorities, to which, the Congress is returning after a period of erosion. The allegation is that BJP speaks for Hindu interests, is not sympathetic to the minorities and in fact is not averse to violence against them. Ostensibly the two parties look on which other as mutual enemies with which neither can have truck.
It is a fact that the Congress Party publicly professes a secular image. BJP supports the concept of Hindutva, though it states that this is by no means a communal precept and that the party stands for equality for all, a secular democracy but appeasement of no one. In practice the Congress has blatantly used the communal card where it suits it. For example, Indira Gandhi had a secret pact with the RSS whereby the RSS was supported in Jammu covertly by the Congress and Congress candidates were supported by the RSS in the Punjab to keep the Akalis out of power. In Gujarat BJP is blamed, not without cause, for the post Godhra riots, but the Congress workers in Gujarat did not move a finger to protect the minorities in that state and even today local Congress workers soft-pedal communal issues. In using caste and community blatantly to garner votes the Congress in practice is as communal as a party which is more overt in its support of a particular community. In other words, when it comes down to actual practice both the BJP and the Congress are equally communal or, if one wants to be a little kind, equally secular in a somewhat peculiar manner.
The Congress and BJP are unlikely to garner the numbers in Parliament whereby other political parties would be willing to join one or the other in forming a stable government. No doubt the Congress party is more acceptable to other political parties than BJP, which means that BJP needs at least 180 seats before it can form a government. The Congress can probably do it with 135 seats. The question is whether either party will have the requisite numbers which ensure that whichever group they lead to power, either the Congress or the BJP is the lead party. At present the so-called third front and, perhaps, the somewhat nebulous fourth front, are unstable conglomerates of people, each one of whom wants to be Prime Minister. How comfortable would the Congress be in such a coalition if the number of seats it gets is less than 135?
Perhaps the time has come for objective thinking by both BJP and Congress about their mutual relationship and at least the minimum areas of agreement in which both parties adopt a common stance and policy. If they are able to hammer out their differences perhaps the best government which India could get would be a coalition between BJP and the Congress. Can the two parties sink their differences and suppress their over inflated egos in order to come together in the national interest.
