Gusse waali Didi..

Didi is now Kejri gone volatile!!
Volatility is actually her trademark style!!
The arrest of her MP made he go wild!
And when I say wild I'm being mild!!
Her minions went into pillaging mode!!
And on the streets violence flowed!!
And what a stupid statement to make!!
'Buss Bandopadyay ne 2 lacs kiye take'!
Or is it ...what she says is right!!
Then Demonitisation why did she need to fight!
Should have gone on a 'white' declaring spree!!
In Bengal set all Black Money free!!
Because as per Didi only her law should prevail in Bengal!!
The 2 lac excuse shows her gaul!!
She's going to get worse day by day!!
Her temper and ego are uncontrollable they say!!
Some Poll Surveys are out!!
All have 1 common prediction ...Congress is down and out!
In Punjab AD+BJP are ahead!!
Then Congress and AAP is in the red!!
On UP BJP is ahead and Congress is all but dead!
Maya's core Votebank BJP has bled!!
But SP feels it's got an ace up its sleeve!
Their animosity suddenly Father and son will leave!!
All will become one with Akhilesh the face!!
For an unexpected turn Amar karre apne app ko brace!!
If they have done their job for 5 years!!
Why should Budget give Opposition fears!!
Like if SP has delivered in UP and in UK Congress!!
Budget wouldl not give them any stress!
The stress is because they've indulged in last minute drama sops!!
And via Budget BJP could come out tops!!
How many Projects did Akhilesh unveil in a day!!
Unfair ...did BJP say!!
Fact is Opposition is doing its very best!!
To stop this Government from passing 'deliverance test'!!
Apne aap kuch nahi kiya so BJP kyon kuch karre!!
Humaari tarah mazze leh aur jebbe bharre! !
And freezing Governance every now and then is wrong!!
This discontinuation has been going on for too long!!
How can there be level playing field!!
If it's work for 5 years a Party can wield!!
All others are handicapped!!!
Seems this analogy EC has not tapped!!
In Patna Sahib Modi looked dapper in a Pagh!!
I sure this was loved by Sikhs all over the Jugh!!!
Confucius says ... Sikhs don't feel he's a Sikh by wearing a Pagh!!
The Fez Cap was to show Islam karr liya Modi ne hug.

Comments make no sense

The comments of tyrani did not make sense to me. What does he imply! Where he got this figure of 10% and 90%? About Sunil, I don't understand his logic. He is perhaps unaware that law is same for all services, allied services and all India services. If an accused says anything to keep himself relevant, how does it become the attitude of IAS! Has the IAS association given any statement! Let us not dwell only on perceptions! Let us be analytical and contribute what we can in nation's interest. Not self or service rivalries!
