Punjab di assliyat. ...
My Uncle who is a Farmer is visiting me ....he has his Farm near Amritsar. We sit in the lawn in the sun and over Kanji (Black Carrot and Beetroot drink) ...Salad ...and Moomfalla (L size moomfalli) and Gajjak we get chatting.
Me: So Thaiya ji ( Dad's elder brother) who is ahead in Punjab...
Uncle: There was an AAP wave but it's waning ..though in Malwa they are still a force ..
M: What is your take on Sisodia telling the electorate to vote as if Kejri is going to be the CM..
U: A non Punjabi ...non Farmer CM ...outsider ...no way ...its only going to make the wave wane faster….and then he is a Baniya... see its not that we hate Baniyas....but most Artiyas...Shopkeepers are Baniyas... no Punjabi Farmer would want someone from the Artiya community to decide their fates ...and that too an outsider....its a profession issue not a Caste issue ...
M: Is Amrinder a Farmer. ..
U: He has Orchards in HP ...he has cleverly got for himself a Farmer tag ...though if you ask me Farmers are born and as they grow up they imbibe Farming from their Granddads and Dads...Farming terminology is used at home too...in fact the humor too has Farming terminology in it ..Kejri would be zero in this….
M: So Kejri's speechwriter can easily pepper his speech with Farming terminology ...
U: Bit Kejri will fail miserably if he has to interact with Punjabi Farmers…. if they say 'Padri' (levelled land) he'll make a nose and say 'why are you addressing me in the female gender and asking me to Fart'…. or Jeeri (unshelled rice) …he will guess this as Jeera that is ground finely….
M: Its said AD+BJP have done a lot of work in Punjab ...be it roads...electrification ...sops for the poor... on the religious fronts ... I don't know why Punjabi Farmers feel their issues have not been addressed……
U: Remember the Farmer is very shortsighted ...because his 'Box Office' is with the harvesting of every Crop... this is what is playing out... had post the Demonetization Modi announced direct benefits for the Farmers there would have been a pro AD+BJP wave in Punjab ......indirect sops take time to get factored in ....what will work now is 'injection' and not Homeopathic Medicine ...samjheya ...and on Kejri .. again….he knows ill-kukkad (totally at sea) about farming ...Mann is a Comedian and has some personal issues… Phoolka too is 0 where Farming is concerned ….. that is why Sisodia tried to give the CM candidate a convenient spin….and its going to backfire badly…
M: I'd love to view a Debate between Sukhbir.. Amrinder and Kejri…..they will not be having their Degrees with them when they go to Debate… so Kejri will make their Degrees an issue … so he would have agreed to Debate and slunk out too!!!
U: I think he will follow Rahul's way ...only speeches ...no questions and answers ..and I don't understand why is Sidhu being given so much importance ...he's a Bhaand (Stand up Comedian )...if Farmers approach him for say for Crop damage he will say ....O Guru Sarkaar kyaa karre.... Badlaa noo koun fadde... (who can control the clouds)..
M: I hear the big Farmers are worried that Modi will now attack Benami holdings….
U: Yes it's an issue… I think he will do it post the UP and Punjab elections…. many big Farmers hold way beyond the Land Ceiling…. so they would have to do some Jugaad…. like in a Family of say Father and two sons…. all three on Paper will divorce their wives… so that each of them could then hold 28 acres….
M: Chalo Thaiya ji lets go inside ….take your nap as we have to go for a Tea Party at 5 pm…. but first Thaiya ji …ik Joke in Punjabi…
U: Oye Khote tuh mainoo Sidhu , Mann ya Ghugi samjhaya hai.....Punjab deh ik Pind wich…. Bacheya noo kissi Buzurg de guzaran teh chutti milli. Doh students Sukhi teh Mukhi ghar ja rahe honnde hann judo raaste wich dekhde hann doh Buzurg manjeya teh lette khang rahe honde han.. Sukhi Mukhi noo kehenda hai… oh dekh Mukhi sadhi doh chutiya ….. ( In a village kids are given a holiday on the passing of a Village Elder. Sukhi and Mukhi are returning home when they spot two Elders lying on Cots coughing. Sukhi tells Mukhi .. Mukhi see there our two holidays).

DEBATE

How do you see the two most powerful leaders of the World - Donald Trump and Narendra Modi ?

Some people see Donald Trump as Narendra Modi of the USA. Like Modi in 2014, they say, Trump touched the raw nerve of the US citizens in 2016 to win a decisive victory.

If Modi, with his magnetic electoral campaign, won an absolute majority for his party for the first time in 2014, Trump also staged a spectacular campaign to win the top job for himself.

How do you (surfers of whispersinthecorridors.com) see the two most powerful leaders of the World ?

Wah America !

The Federal Anti-nepotism Law and the Federal Ethics Laws and even the Office of Government Ethics in the USA are worth immediate emulation in India. The American President has someone as The Chief Ethics Counselor. In our country a hoax anti-corruption call can change the fortunes of many burning political ambitions.

Redeem our prestige

Nehru's foolish policy resulted in the handing over in a platter Tibet to China. We withdrew our Army Battalion posted in Lhasa and signed a foolish treaty with China which they with impunity threw into the waste basket. Nehru woke up only when China over ran NEFA and Ladakh, but shamelessly hung on to the PM's post putting all the blame on Krishna Menon and the Army. With handing over our rights in Tibet, we lost our leverage with China. They are now troubling us everywhere, whether it is our UNSC membership (US once wanted India to take the place of Kuomintang China instead of Communist China which Nehru arrogantly refused to accept), or NSG membership and helping Pakistan with nuclear and missile technology. It is time for us to revisit our policy on Tibet. We should openly admit Nehru's fault and recognize Tibet as an independent country. We should also recognize Nationalist Government in Taiwan. On the economic side we should not allow the huge FE deficit with China by restricting Chinese imports. We also should share our nuclear and missile know how with Vietnamese. Chinese understands only strength and we should show them. With a strong PM like Modi at the helm this is the time for us to redeem our prestige and position in the world.
