Some political musings…

Superlatives
Fast. (Anna)
Faster. (Modi)
Fastest: (Vaghela)

What’s in a name?
It is no longer United. (The PM disconnected from the rest of the ministers)
It is no longer Progressive. (Suppressing free thought, an initial toothless Lokpal Bill, a communal Communal Bill, rejecting a strong Sports Bill…)
It is no longer a close Alliance. (TMC tantrums, DMK going alone in the local polls…)
The UPA is fast unraveling.
Un-united Regressive Mis-alliance anyone?

The fast and the furious…
Everyone’s either going on a fast or pulling a fast one…
The political landscape is fast changing and Modi is fast finding acceptance…
But the only thing that matters is that prices and inflation are fast increasing and the common man is plain furious.

If Tihar re-organized its management…
Head of Telephone Exchange: A Raja
Head of Tihar Annual Games: Suresh Kalmadi
Treasurer: Madhu Koda
PRO: Amar Singh
Editor, Tihar Times: Kanimozhi
Coming soon (unconfirmed) on a two-week training programme…
Kiran Bedi, Om Puri, Prashant Bhushan & Arvind Kejriwal.

These versions by Sunil Rajguru

We all follow Anna…

Anna: Is desh ko jail bharo andolan ki zaroorat hai.
Impact: MPs and former MPs start lining up in Tihar jail. All the Reddy politicians down south either get arrested or chargesheeted.

Anna: Digvijay ko mental asylum bhejo.
Maya: Ye accha idea hain! Julian Assange ko bhi mental asylum bhejo!

Anna: Ek strong bill hi corruption khatam karega.
Maken tries Annagiri immediately after the fast with a strong Sports Bill, but unfortunately falls flat.

Anna: Chahe to Parliament ka gherao karo!
Advani: Ye accha idea hai. (And for days the BJP protests outside parliament instead of inside it).

Anna: Anshan sahi raasta hai.
Government planners: To food inflation ko badne do, phir sabko majbooran anshan karna hi padega!

Anna: Main politicians ke khilaaf kuch bhi boloonga.
Poor Kiran, Om Puri, Kejriwal, Prashant Bhushan try exactly the same thing and promptly get privilege notices.
