Advani versus Modi…

· To his fans Modi is an idea whose time has come.
To his detractors he is a 4-letter word.
To his detractors, Advani was around when someone said, “In the beginning was the word”.
To his fans… errr… does he have any left?

· Advani is History.
Modi’s 2014 impact is a Mystery.

· In cricket analogy, Narendra Modi is the captain and LK Advani is now the 12th man who thinks he’s the non-playing captain.

· If everyone does an Advani, then Narayan Murthy will be Infosys chief till 2035, Sonia will complete 40 years as Congress President and Sachin will play 300 Tests.

· At times I think that Robert Vadra has a greater chance of being Prime Minister than Narendra Modi.

· Advani spin #23…
I am just a 25-year-old sathiya gaya hua aadmi!

· There will be 3 major waves in 2014: Anti-Congress, Pro-Modi and Anti-Modi.
The sum of these 3 waves will decide the next government.

The Modi-Advani show…

· If Modi loses badly in 2014, then Advani will make a comeback and position himself for 2019.

· BJP: The old order (Advani) changeth to yield place to the new (Modi).
Congress: The old order (Gandhi) changeth to yield place to the new (Gandhi).
(Where Gandhi=Mahatma/Indira/Rajiv/Sonia/Rahul…)

· LK Advani has had 6 Rath Yatras from 1990-2011.
Time for No. 7, NaMo Yatra?
(Where NaMo = Na (to) Modi)

· Only Indian TV news channels can convert a “Modi crowned King, gets Advani out of the way” to “Setback for Modi as Advani quits”.

Yet more Modi Advani Goa musings…

· Modi does his first miracle after coming to “power” in the BJP.
He gets Advani to retire!

· Advani’s PM dreams are Goa-ing, Goa-ing, gone…

· Godwin’s law: Given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably makes a comparison to Hitler or the Nazis.
Godwin’s India law: While discussing Modi, a comparison to Hitler or the Nazis will be made in no time at all.

· Jo bhi Goa jaata hai, mast ho kar laut-ta hai.
Ab Modi bhai sahab ko dekh leejiye na!
Only losers miss a chance to go to Goa.

Advani’s Sound of Music for Modi…

Please sing to the tune of Sixteen Going on Seventeen from The Sound of Music

(Advani sings to Modi…)

You wait little boy,
On an empty stage,
For fate to turn the light on,
Your life little boy,
Is an empty PM’s chair,
That politicians will want to trample on,
You are 62 going on 63,
Baby it’s time to think,
Better beware,
Be canny and careful,
Baby you’re on the brink,
You are 62 going on 63,
Fellows will fall in line,
Eager young Tweeple,
And TV hosts and analysts,
Will offer you PM dreams,
Totally unprepared are you,
To face the world of Delhi,
Timid and shy and scared are you,
Of things beyond your ken,
You need someone,
Older and wiser,
Telling you what to do,
I am 85 going on 86,
I’ll take care of the PM’s chair…

This Spoof by Sunil Rajguru

(Original Song: Sixteen Going on Seventeen.
Film: The Sound of Music.
Year: 1959.)

More Modi Advani Goa musings…

· Modi ke liye Dilli door hai.
Advani ke liye Goa door hai.
Rahul ke liye India hi door hai.

· Congress thinks Rahul is the cure for Namonia.
They don’t realize that their cure is worse than their disease.

· 2004: Vajpayee lost.
2009: Advani lost.
2014: BJP itself is trying to make Modi lose.

· Vajpayee was the original hardliner.
He was moderate in front of Advani.
Advani is moderate in front of Modi.
Hard. Harder. Hardest.

· Political ages…
Sweet Sixties: Chidu (67), Sonia (66), Modi (62).
Super Seventies: Pranabda (77), Swamy (73), Pawar (72).
Energetic Eighties: Karunanidhi (89), Advani (85), Manmohan (80).

Modi Advani Goa musings…

· Dear Congress,
Now that you have declared it a Namonitis virus, know that it strikes the old in the BJP and everyone in the Congress, Media and Civil Society.
That’s a win-win situation for the BJP.

· Advani boycotting Goa…
This is like the Principal reporting in sick in fear of the School Captain.

· Whether he’s too old for politics is moot, but Advani is definitely too old to enjoy Goa.

· Ek Modi anaar sau bimaar.

· Indian Politics…
Age of consent: 30.
Adulthood: 40. (Rahul)
Get really noticed: 60. (Modi)
Second round of jawani: 80. (Advani, Manmohan)
Retirement: 100.

· The amount of promotions Rahul and Modi have received is not funny…
…and they are still so far from the PM’s chair.

· Advani to abhi bachcha hai jee.
Karunanidhi is older than Advani.
Older still is Lee Kuan Yew who held an official ministerial post for 50+ straight years from the age of 35 to 87.
