Manmohan Singh and state of the nation musings 5…

Congress is like Internet Explorer.
Nobody wants it, but since it’s the default setting and many people are too lazy to change it or download something else, it still has 30-40% market share.

Jaane kahan mera file gaya jee.
Jaane kahan mera PM gaya jee.
Janne kahan mera Government gaya jee.
Jaane kahan mera desh ja raha hai jee.

Generations to come will scarce believe that a Prime Minister ruled India from 2004-14.

Dear Economy,
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
If NREGA don’t get you, Food Bill must.

Old: If you love her, give her diamonds.
New: If you love her, take her on a long drive in your petrol car and make Chicken/Paneer Do Pyaza just for her.

Manmohan Singh and state of the nation musings 4…

Singh = Sinking.
Sonianomics = Destructonomics.
Politics = Poli tricks.
Governance = Governone.
NREGA = India ka lega.
Food Bill = Final Kill.

The Gayab Sarkar…
Any ghotala: Files are missing.
Prime Minister on key issues: Words are missing.
Pappu during a crisis: His presence is missing.

There is a rumour that Paul McCartney was replaced with a look-alike in 1966.
The same thing may have happened to Manmohan Singh in 2009.

Q1: What do you think of Western civilization?
Mahatma Gandhi: I think it would be a good idea.
Q2: What do you think of Indian Economy?
Manmohan Singh: I think it would be a good idea.

American: Day by day we can buy lesser and lesser stuff with $1.
Pappu: Wow! We are doing much better! In India, day by day you can buy more stuff with $1!

Sonia is totally pro-poor. She doesn’t want the poor to cry.
Proof: Onions have been taken totally out of the reach of poor.
They don’t have to cry while cutting them anymore.

It should be called IBR because…

The Rupee comforts Indians…
Don’t worry.
I have a very long life.
I can go till 115-120 like some old people.
I am just 65 now.

CoalGate = Rs 2 lakh crore ghotala.
FoodBillGate = Rs 3 lakh crore ghotala potential?

Manmohan Singh and state of the nation musings 3…

His multiple choices …
a) First Manmohan Singh became Economist.
b) Second he became Bureaucrat.
c) Third he became Politician.
d) Finally he became “None of the Above”.

Q: What do you think of the Economy Problem?
Manmohan: Eco-No-My Problem!

The Great Depression has begun in India.
(It’s not just the economy stupid.
Every citizen is greatly depressed with Congress rule.)

In 2011, Congress entered quicksand.
Had they gracefully stayed still, they could have been saved.
But they have been pushing, screaming and kicking to go totally down under.

Citizen 1: There’s no evidence that he’s a politician.
Citizen 2: There’s no evidence that he’s an economist.
Citizen 3: There’s no evidence that he’s the Prime Minister!

Ship India is leaking and instead of plugging the holes, they are trying to plug the mouths of those pointing at the holes.

The 3 Ps of Sonia’s life are Party, Puppet and Pappu.

Like colleges have guest lecturers, India has a guest Prime Ministerial candidate.

The new Panchsheel of RTI…
1. Stall.
2. Refuse point blank.
3. Kill RTI activist.
4. Declare files missing.
5. Dilute with Amendment.

Manmohan Singh: The Father of Polinomics.
Half (Politicize economics)
+ Half (Economize politics)
= Zero.

Manmohan Singh and state of the nation musings 2…

The current crisis is much worse than 1991 because this time there’s no Narasimha Rao to bail us out.

Rupee. Petrol. Economy. Inflation. Corruption. Naxalism. Pak. China. 2G. Coalgate. Missing files. Opposition. Dissent. Parliament logjam…
Too many problems: Men freeze and do nothing.
‪#‎MMS‬

When the Rupee, Onion and Petrol all touch Rs 80, petrol pumps ($1=1 litre) and vegetable vendors ($1=1 kg) will be told to accept $1 bills to solve the change problem.

Bhaag Files Bhaag.
Koyala kaala hai,
Badmasho ne paala,
Andar kaala, baahar kaala,
Sab ghotala hai saala…
‪#‎Coalgate‬

The Father of Reforms: Narasimha Rao.
The Father of Deforms: Manmohan Singh.

Since 2004, Osama has been nabbed, Prabhakaran been killed, Mubarak has fallen, an African American has become US President…
Bas Manmohan nahin sudhrega.

The Coalgate files are not missing.
Their RTI access has been revoked for the common citizen.

Every morning MMS gets up hoping to make India a better place.
Every night he sleeps knowing he has failed.
Don’t worry. Just a few hundred days more.

These versions by Sunil Rajguru

Manmohan Singh and state of the nation musings…

Files go missing.
Goods go missing.
Grains go missing.
Money goes missing.
Rs 1.76L crore goes missing.
Prime Minister MSingh as good as missing.

Dear Prime Minister,
Tumhaare hazaron scams ke jawabon se damning hai ek scam ki files ki khaamoshi.
#MissingCoalgateFiles

Sign in restaurant…
Please settle all your bills before you leave.
Sign in Indian Parliament…
Please settle all your Bills before you leave.

Mega film Coalgate =
Golmaal + Gayab + Kala Patthar + Koyla + Kaalia + Hera Pheri + How Green Was My Valley + Gunday.

Pluto downgraded. (Planet to Dwarf Planet)
Onion upgraded. (Food Crop to Cash Crop)

Agar koi Snowden-Assange type character Indian politics ke dealings expose kare to poora Encyclopaedia India-na bhar jaayega.

Food Security Bill = Economy Insecurity Bill.

Will the Kasab Biryani Fund now sponsor Abdul Tunda or will we have a new Tunde Kabab Fund?

The IAS should rename itself to the IPS…
Indian Politicians’ Servants.

The Full Circle Man…
When Manmohan entered politics, economy had crashed, now that he’s going it’s crashing again.
When Manmohan entered PM’s chair, Sensex tanked, now he’s going it’s tanking again.

A cat has 9 lives.
Congress has had 10.
(It has won 10 General Elections).
If they win in 2014, then it’ll be the BJP that’ll be dead.

Sholay 2014…
Loha (Congress) garam hai (reeling from scams/economy), maar do hathoda (Modi).

Manmohan: No going back to 1991.
What he meant: We have already passed it and gone into the 1980s.
Now 1970s beckon. (Garibi Hatao, Emergency, Opposition/People backlash, Anti-Congressism…)

Independence Day Battle of Speeches: Modi vs MMS

Modi doesn’t know what he’s saying before a speech.
(Because it’s extempore.)
Manmohan also doesn’t know what he’s saying before a speech.
(Because someone else has written it and he’s given it at the last moment.)

Modi has earned the right to be called Shadow Prime Minister.
Today the Prime Minister was in Modi’s Shadow.

Ask not what the country can do for you, ask not what you can do for the country, ask nothing, say nothing.
—Manmohan Singh
‪#‎TheekHai‬

Congressman: Sigh! No Independence from Modi even on Independence Day!

Q: Sir what did you think of India’s Independence Day speech.
Manmohan Singh: Theek tha, but he shouldn’t have attacked me so much!
‪#‎TheekHai‬

The problem with watching Manmohan Singh’s speech is that I funnily get the feeling that any time now he’s going to burst into tears.

This is the first time in our history that Prime Minister’s Independence Day Speech was overshadowed in hours.
People even listened to Deve Gowda’s Hindi speech with attention.

Remember the good ole school debating days.
First candidate comes, speaks diffidently, second takes his content and rips it apart.

Why is this being touted as Manmohan’s last I-Day speech?
What if he emerges as a consensus candidate in a badly hung Parliament in 2014?
