Telangana, anarchy and a pepper spray…

Pepper spray in Parliament condemned.
(But criminals in Parliament are fine)
Anarchy in Parliament condemned.
(But anarchy in Andhra Pradesh is fine)
Knife in Parliament condemned.
(But political backstabbing is fine)

Political Kajrare…
Aisi nazar se dekha zalim MP ne Lok Sabha ke chowk par,
Humne Telangana Bill rakh diya chaku ki nok par.
Chorus: Wah wah, kamal ho gaya, woh session fail ho gaya.

Advice to women: Use pepper spray went confronted by shady characters.
News item: MP uses pepper spray in Lok Sabha.

Before…
We will create a new State out of Andhra Pradesh.
After…
We created a new State called Anarchy Pradesh.

Congress MP pepperspraying to protest Congress Speaker tabling a Bill amidst a mess created by the Congress party = Congress (not Parliament/India) shamed.

How to un-bifurcate a State…

Advisor: We are getting wiped out in Andhra Pradesh.

Congressman: Divide and rule. AP has three divisions: Telangana, Rayalseema and Coastal Andhra. Give Telangana statehood and we’ll at least secure that.

Advisor: Done, but the trouble continues.

Congressman: OK add Rayalseema too to make it Rayal-Telangana.

Advisor: OK, but the trouble still continues.

Congressman: OK add Coastal Andhra too to make it Andhra-Rayal-Telangana!

P.S. And in all these while, governance gaya tel lene.

General political musings…

Evolution…
Thousands of years back our ancestors were only interested in survival and nothing else.
Today our politicians are only interested in survival and nothing else.

Action: Kejriwal helped remove Gadkari.
Reaction: Rajnath replaced Gadkari and crowned Modi.
So: In a way, Kejriwal helped Modi?

Great grandfather: When I was small, India had 100s of states (Pre-1947).
Boy: I’m sure the same thing will happen by the time I become old.

If there are 1 lakh Andhra Style Restaurants in India, will about 40,000 of them rename themselves as Telangani Style Restaurants?

Telangana…
Said: Change is inevitable. Change is good. You can’t fight change.
Unsaid: Change=17 Lok Sabha seats.

CBI and BCCI are the ultimate Laundromats.
Kitni bhi gandi chit pakda do, first class dhulai karke clean bana dete hai.

Schrödinger’s Encounter: Any encounter can be both fake and real at the same time.

Laloo: I will give you zero governance!
Voter: Delivered on his promise! Give him 3 terms!
Vajpayee: I will give you great governance.
Voter: It was “good”, but not “great” so let’s boot him out.

Telangana musings…

In school: 22 states, 173 countries, 18 Jupiter satellites, 9 planets.
Now: 29 States, 206 countries, 120 Jupiter satellites, 8 planets.
Bechara ek Pluto hi underachiever nikla.

Q: What about Telangana-AP’s water division?
A: Don’t worry, voter division has been done.

Telangana decision explained…
United we stand (to lose Lok Sabha seats).
Divided we fall (so low and yet pick up the new State’s seats).

Instructions to Congress top brass…
Governance gaya tel lene, jab ghar aana, Telangana hi le ki hi aana, bhale hi saare India ke statehood demands pe bhi tel lagana.

The Congress is putting a huge amount of votes in the Votebank.
But it should note that like banks, even Votebanks can crash.

States bantate chalo…

borders-2099205_640Please sing to the tune of Pyar bantate chalo from the movie Hum Sab Ustad Hain

(Reference: Andhra Pradesh to be bifurcated.)

Ho States bantate chalo, States bantate chalo,
Hey States bantate chalo, States bantate chalo,
Kya South ke, kya North ke, ye sab hain ready for katai,
States bantate chalo, States bantate chalo,
Hey, States bantate chalo, States bantate chalo.

Kaatna hai Centre kee nishanee, yeh buzurgo kaa kehana hai yaaro,
Ek hi saaj ke tar hain sab, par hamko mil jul ke rahna nahin hai yaaro,
Kaatna hai Centre kee nishanee, yeh buzurgo kaa kehana hai yaaro,
Ek hee saaj ke taar hain sab, hamko aur taare jodte rahana hai yaaro,
Hey socho kal kitne kam States the, dekho ab kitne hai,
Sabko le doobegi ye kaantne ki ladai,
States bantate chalo, States bantate chalo,
Hey States bantate chalo, States bantate chalo.

Telangana ye hai to Seemandhra tum ho, ye hai Bihar to Jharkhand tum ho,
Naam kuchh ho magar ye naa bhulo, sab se pahale to political victim tum ho,
Telangana ye hai to Seemandhra tum ho, ye hai Bihar to Jharkhand tum ho,
Naam kuchh ho magar ye naa bhulo, sab se pahale to political victim tum ho,
Hey bache hue States, kal ke liye tayyaar raho,
Tum se aur regional leaders kya kya ummeede hain lagi,
States bantate chalo, States bantate chalo…
