Pranab Mukherji, Political Heavy Weight in INC ~ “Accidents will happen. No one can predict them” when asked about the umpteenth rail accident.
WHY THEN ARE THEY HAPPENING WITH PREDICTABLE REGULARITY?
Because this Government works! Works with predictable, efficient regularity! And how is that? Oh, thats simple:
Our beloved soft spoken, dignified, monotonous, spineless, clueless, mono-fixated, eminent world leader for whom Barack Obama stops to listen (since he speaks so softly), Prime Minister has a lesson for all of us lesser mortals (literally!) : Patient till death.
He wont sack corrupt ministers – the government must be “stable” and plundering
He wont sack absentee ministers – the government must be “stable” and mass killing without anyone being accountable for railway mishaps is a neat way out.
He’ll tick off ministers who actually do some thing – the government must be “stable” and action will offend too many!
He’ll unleash stone-wall ministers when embarrassed – the government must be “stable” and it’s difficult to do anything in India, so why rock the boat?
He”l not act against terrorists, whether the domestic or imported variety – the government must be “stable” and everyone has the right to do whatever they want. Isnt that democracy?
He’ll refuse permission to amend or make new tough laws by states run by opposition parties and he’ll let his own party’s governments use similar laws as were denied to other states with rare, consistent, soft spoken, impunity – the government must be “stable” and how else can his governments compete in the states?
He’ll not hang anyone just because the Supreme Court awarded the punishment. That instruction must only come from his commander at the #10 – not Downing Street but Janpath – the government must be “stable” and needs every single vote- the government must be “stable” and there can only be one captain
He doesn’t have pet dogs since he is one himself – the government must be “stable” and how can he let anyone else be a better pet
Like pet dogs, he’ll wag his tail when he sees his masters – whether the one here or in the one in the US and do their bidding faithfully as do well trained pets – the government must be “stable” and have regular supply of petting ‘Good Dog’
He’ll post the heads of his drity tricks cell (or is it platoon) as Governers so they can do the bidding of his master – the government must be “stable” and who doesn’t do dirty tricks?
And, last but not the least, send out “Spokespersons” who will switch from being spokespersons of INC to GOI and back, whenever it suits them and deny everything including that they have been briefed to stonewall. The government must be ‘stable’ for your sake
But most of all, he will make peace with Pakistan even if it means we will need another M K Gandhi to set us free again. – the government must be “stable” and a new Gandhi will invigorate the nation
How can we ask for a better Accidental Politician to lead us into the dark ages?
