UPA government musings…

This is a Roti (vote-catching expensive Food Security Bill), Kapda (itna corruption hua hain ki badan pe kapde bache hi nahin hain) aur Makaan (Adarsh housing scam) government.
(Aur Bandwidth? 2G main hi atka hain abhi bhi!)

∙ UPA1: Nuke Deal.
UPA2: Nuked deals.

∙ Q: What is IT?
Kapil Sibal: Indira Technology.
Q: Matlab?
Sibal: Is desh ko Emergency ki zaroorat hai!

∙ A comes before B.
Umpteen Amendments before the actual Bill!
Wah re Lokpal!

A very “balanced” government…

A Raja: +Rs 1.76 lakh crore.
Kapil Sibal: -Rs 1.76 lakh crore.

Congress Spokespersons: Speak so much gas that they are a serious threat to global warming.
Congress High Command: Speak so less that if they actually lost their voices, then the nation wouldn’t notice for 10 odd years.

Baba Ramdev was handled with Physical Violence.
Anna Hazare was handled with Verbal Violence.

Manmohan Singh is the Picture of Sanity.
Diggy Raja is the Picture of Insanity.

Kapil Sibal as Education Minister ultimately Virtually achieved nothing.
As IT Minister, he tried to Educate the Virtual World.

Pranab Mukherjee is the No. 1 Trouble shooter.
The rest of the Cabinet are No. 1 Trouble Creators.

Rahul Gandhi is invisible in the Lok Sabha.
He’s Ultra-Visible in Uttar Pradesh.

Imaginary Horoscopes at birth…

Dear A Raja’s parents…
Your son will be very famous, will roll in wealth and always be in the news. Raja will spend a lot of time in the capital Delhi and will always be in the mind of the Prime Minister of India. His actions will lead to a revolution in India in the year 2011.

Dear Anna Hazare’s parents,
Your son will not get married, will not have a house to live in in his old age, be hungry most of the time and the Government of India will keep hurling abuses at him all the time.

Dear LK Advani’s parents,
Your son will have a very very long life, never retire and travel extensively throughout the country.

Dear Mayawati’s parents,
Your daughter will be so rich that she will have special planes to ferry her footwear.

Dear Mamata Banerjee’s parents,
Your daughter has Rajyog and will be Chief Minister of West Bengal one day. What the previous government did to the state in 34 years, your daughter will do in 34 months!

Dear Diggy Raja’s parents,
Your son will always be on TV and entertain the nation like no-one else.

Dear Narendra Modi’s parents,
Your son will be one of the most loved persons within his state and one of the most hated persons outside it.

Some Anna Hazare musings…

∙LM Singhvi: I gave birth to the Lokpal Bill.
Abhishek Manu Singhvi: That’s nothing. I killed its effectiveness.
Anna: Wait for the Second Coming.
Lokpal Terminator: I’ll be back!

∙ Sonia: Now I’m ready to fight for the Lokpal Bill!
Anna: OK, wear the boxing gloves and let’s get in the ring.
Spokesperson: No. No. No. That’s against our sanskriti. What it means is that when someone else writes a speech, she reads it out and when she writes a statement, someone else reads it out. It’s nothing more than that!

∙ Maybe it’s all a problem of numerology while naming it the Lokpal.
Some alternative names…
Latepal… Lamepal… (go jump in the) Lakepal… Mockpal… (chaaku ki) Nokepal… Roke(sako to rok lo)pal… Tokepal… (un)Luckypal… Netapal… Votepal… Waatpal… Quotapal… (zero+joke)Zokepal…
