Modi and other political musings…

Modi: There is no humour in Parliament.
Pappu: I protest! You are wrong as usual! What about the Congress being reduced to a joke?

Started in 2002, it still continues…
Baithe, baithe, kya karein? Karna hai kuch kaam,
Shuru karo ek cooked up story, leke Modi ka naam!

Rome wasn’t built in a day.
10 years wasn’t enough time for Sonia.
What? Modi hasn’t transformed India in 3 months?

The Congressi Ratna…
23 political party members won the Bharat Ratna.
All 23 were current/former members of the Congress party.

Nehruvian Consensus is a misnomer.
Nehru was an autocrat and half his Cabinet quit in protest.
It should be Nehruvian Diktat.

Sinking Congressi musings…

Probably the only major Congress shake-up that Sonia wants to do is to make Pappu Senior Vice President and Pappini Junior Vice President.

A: No, you should put your political ambitions in the fire!

1951.
1962.
1971.
1980.
1991.
2004.
Winning streak broken in 2014.

After 16 years as Congress President, Sonia has delivered 44 seats.
If the Congress doesn’t get its act together, after 21 years she will have 21 seats.

Congress picks dead leader in poll panel.
What else can you expect from a dead party?

2004: Pappu prevents Sonia from becoming PM.
2009: Manmohan wins 2009.
Analysis: Pappu through his foresight won 2009 in 2004.

BJP government musings…

Take out the Dynasty from the Congress.
Take out Modi from the BJP.
And you’re suddenly left with two eerily similar parties.

You can take the BJP out of the Opposition,
But you can’t take the Opposition out of the BJP.
#TVDebates

If the BJP boycotted TV debates, then their TRP ratings would go down, but the BJP wouldn’t lose any seats in Parliament.
Seems they think it’s the other way round.

Post-election loss Congressi musings…

Fact of the day…
When Rajiv Gandhi became Congress party president, he hadn’t won a single election in his life nor had he held any significant government post whatsoever.
#AmitShah

After affecting what seems like a million leaks in 10 years, the Congress moves a Privilege Motion against Sadananda Gowda alleging a leak over the Rail Budget.

Point…
You gave them 60 years; give me 60 months: Modi.
Counter-point…
We couldn’t control inflation in 10 years; you have to do so in 10 weeks: Congress.
