Paanch Saal Kejriwal musings…

AAP’s internal survey says that Arvind Kejriwal is already Chief Minister of New Delhi, though he may resign again on February 10.

Key to opinion polls…
Overestimate BJP and Modi bashing begins after results.
Underestimate BJP and Modi bashing done before results.
Either way Modi haters win.

Mr Natwarlal was released in 1979 and had a good run.
Mr Kejriwal was released in 2013 and is still running in 2015.

Delhi Assembly elections spoilt for choice…
Vote for…
a) A weak Delhi BJP.
b) A non-existent Congress.
c) A joke called AAP.
d) An impotent NOTA button.

Changing one at a time…
2011: India Against Corruption.
2013: Politics Against Corruption.
2015: Politics For Corruption.

Old Lakhan…
Dus ko main dus lakh karke dikhaa du…
New Lakhan…
Paanch ko main paanch million karke dikhaa du…

Years back an aam aadmi saw Laloo, Mulayam, Maya, Mamata, BSY etc and said…
Even I can emulate them!
And emulate them he did.
‪#‎PaanchSaalNautanki‬

Guess who?
My words are not worth even 0.5 aana.
Beggar gave me 5 Rupees.
I lasted (almost) 50 days.
My party may last 500 days.
Every day I lose 5000 supporters.
Anna gave me 5 lakh followers.
Crooks gave me 50 lakh Rupees.

Kejri’s Believe It Or Not!
Someone who worked in the Indian Revenue Service and campaigned nationally against black money is pretending that he is clueless about black money reaching the accounts he manages.

Even the Congress comes with a 5-year guarantee card.
The AAP one is valid for 49 days.

(Where Nehru was bad to begin with!)

My great great grandfather became Congress President in 1919.
Mahatma Gandhi wanted Congress disbanded after 1947.
I am on track to meet that target by 2019.

Saare Congress leaders ek taraf.

Fir bhi Pappu bhaari hai.

Nehru wanted sycophants.
Indira wanted sycophants.

P.S. I was sycophant but got tired of it.

When McDonald’s opened in Noida in the 1990s, I remember getting down from the cycle rickshaw and the rickshaw-wallah asking me to see his rickshaw for a minute. He ran inside McDonald’s and came out with an ice cream softie. He smiled sheepishly and said “Bahut sasta hai!” It was some low offer price by the restaurant.
I guess India has come a long way since then!

2015: De Villiers hits century off 31 balls, half of that.

(January 19)

Censor board says MSG banned as it depicts some things “which are not substantiated by logic”.
But by that yardstick you’d have to ban Bollywood itself no?

Kejriwal: The Delhi fight will be bipolar.
BJP: Is he referring to the actual fight or his own politics?

Goa Minister to Gays: I can cure you!
Gays to Minister: Please get well soon! The health of Goa depends on it.

Australian batsman at the end of the day: Is it stumps?

When Jayanthi Natarajan quit the Congress…

Jayanthi Natarajan…
I admire Nehru.
I admire Nehru’s daughter.
I admire Nehru’s grandson.
I accept Nehru’s granddaughter-in-law.
Sonia…
Then why can’t you admire and accept Nehru’s great grandson?

Irony…
The granddaughter of a CM complains to the granddaughter-in-law of a PM about the great grandson of the same PM invoking the legacy of the daughter and grandson of the very same PM.

Ajay Maken: He tore up the ordinance!
Jayanthi Natarajan: He tore up my career!
Congress worker: Sigh! He tore up the party.

If you signed the file that cleared a wrongdoing, you are guilty.
It doesn’t matter who told you to do it.
‪#‎JayanthiNatarajan‬ ‪#‎ManmohanSingh‬

Past Congressi eras…
Mera Nehru Mahaan.
Meri Indira Mahaan.
Mera Rajiv Mahaan.
Current…

Jayanthi Natarajan: Will India listen to my Press Conference?
Advisor: Well that depends on whether India will hit out in the slog overs or get out.
