In another 24 hours , exit polls will become obsolete when election results start pouring in
And as the sun rises in the sky on 16th May , usual games will play-out on TV channels

* CLAIM GAME

In this game , the main players will be the leaders of BJP and its pre-poll allies
All of these leaders will claim personal credit for BJP’s victory – without appearing to offend the Great NaMo !
They will tell the TV anchors :
There never was any doubt that we will win
We had told you so , all along
NaMo wave was unstoppable
People were fed up of UPA’s failures
This is the beginning of the end of the Dynasty Rule
We will not be vindictive ( – except in case of RSVP ! )
We gracefully accept the mandate given to us by people to bring in Good Governance
People want Gujarat Model replicated all over India and we will do it

* BLAME GAME

This game will be played by leaders of Congress and its UPA allies
They will try to hide their faces on TV channels ( – now I understand why police cover up the faces of alleged culprits ! )
But if caught unaware by those intrepid roving journalists / cameramen , they will mumble in inaudible voices :

We humbly accept the verdict of the people
We honour their wishes ( though much against our wishes ! )
We will play the role of a responsible opposition ( – but make no mistakes , at every small opportunity , we promise to disrupt the working of the Lok Sabha , better than what BJP ever managed )
RSVP had nothing to do with our defeat
Our Working Committee / Parliamentary Board will examine the reasons why people dumped us ( – and find some scapegoats ! )
After all , we have been playing this game for over 65 years and know too well that you cannot fool all the people all the time !
You win some , you lose some
We will emerge stronger by 2019 ”

* AIM GAME

This game will be played out by the Third Front political leaders whose only ” Aim ” was to remain ” Relevant ” in the Lok Sabha !
These leaders will be saying :

As a Third ( rate ? ) Front , we have emerged stronger
So what , if we cannot form the Government ?
We cannot even agree on who is our Prime Ministerial candidate !
But can’t you see that we are M-powered ? ( Maya / Mamta / Mulayam ) – with 3 potential PMs ?
As always , we will continue to provide NaMo , our ” Issue – based ” support ( – the only issues being , withdrawal of all scam-related cases / disproportionate assts cases / CBI investigations,
etc , against our Behenji / Didiji / Netaji )
And of course , grant of ” Special Status ” to W.Bengal / Bihar / UP / Tamil Nadu / Odisha / Seemandhra etc

On 16th , switch on your TVs to witness the ” Grand Finale ” !
