Aaj Ki Aawaz

Buta says no Government is in sight,
However Laloo and Paswan say that Buta is not right!!!

Paswan and Laloo have given the Sarkaar lollipop to their flocks…..to pre-empt straying,
But to back their boasts both do not have the numbers…… empty braying!!!

Buta says Bihar is in for prolonged President's Rule….people should be happy,
But politicians in Bihar will sure be crappy!!!

Buta says that he will popularise President's Rule…..but President's rule is only stop gap arrangement!!!!
Politicians cutting across Party lines say that this statement shows Buta's derangement!!!

CMs post is the main point of disagreement,
This is ninety percent of the agreement!!!

NDA's boycott continues……… one day respite for Finance Bill,
For the Finance Bill Opposition benches they did fill!!!!

Congress's compulsions are understandable but Congress has to understand that NDA does have a point,
Continuance of Laloo in UPA Sarkaar sure does disappoint!!!

Majority of Surveys done show that Indians want Laloo to resign on account of charge sheet,
Continuing in Cabinet they consider as an immoral feat!!!

Congress has to find a formula…….keep Laloo in the Cabinet and also boot him out!!!
Make him Minister without portfolio….this would take care of this lout!!!

Time Congress called his bluff……..he cannot afford to withdraw support,
Even though withdrawal he may purport!!!

Laloo is an untouchable…….a liability,
Has simply no credibility!!!

His best bet is to stay in the UPA……..now survival ki hai baat,
He is dependent in more than one way on the haat (hand)!!!!

Who wants PC out of the Finance Ministry…….your guess is as good as mine???
Both DMK and Commies feel PC has crossed their drawn line!!!

DMK amongst other things wanted PC to gun for Jaya……..go hammer and tongs,
DMK feels his not doing this is one of his biggest wrongs!!!!

Commies have always been against PC …….. have said he is the wrong choice,
And against his appointment they had raised their voice!!!

If PC becomes HM then where will Shivraj go…….Ministry of Defence????
To this Pranab would take offence!!!

Pranab would be placated by being made Deputy Prime Minister,
Because Manmohan's galloping popularity is being considered as something sinister!!!

If not this then Pranab could be made MEA……but what will they do with Natwar aka Nut,
Well he is dispensable and may be told 'Hutt' (move/go)!!!!

From day one Nut has been an embarrassment for Manmohan …….always got his foot in his gob,
And the man is most undiplomatic….not suited for this job!!!

Seems Nut's bro in law Amrinder is getting all his pending cases settled one by one,
Badal says that this is simply not done!!!

Amrinder says Media is being unfair to him,
Why……because they do not dance and prance to the Raja's whim!!!

He calls the Intranet scam a pack of lies,
But after he appointed a friendly Commission to investigate Intranet matter Amrinder's statements nobody buys!!!

Proof of innocence is in the way you agree to be investigated,
The way Amrinder went about the Intranet matter shows his son's complicity….. doubts he himself has created!!!

Now the Liquor Lobby in Punjab has started policing …….Ponty's clout,
When questioned on their bullying ways Amrinder's name they tout!!!

So now PP means Ponty's Police and not Punjab Police…..new cops in Punjab,
Ponty now runs this Sarkaar…..haalath is indeed very kharaab!!!

Power situation in Maharashtra is bad……..gone out of hand,
Supply has been far outstripped by demand!!!

Shortfall is of about 4000 MW…….. India's Shanghai will be in andhera at night,
Sad because Shanghai is lit up at night such that night is like day…..so bright!!!

Is Enron the cause of this shortfall……for Enron who should we blame???
But then now what is the use of blame game????

Enron says that in India there is no continuance of Sarkaar……and then circumstances conspired,
Government changed and this is what actually mired!!!!
