We all fall down

Ring a Ring o Voters
Offer pocket full of dollars
HushHush rush rush
or we all fall down

I may not be as funny as the situation out there. We had a Members of Parliament pepper spraying and beating other; tearing up bills tabled and behaving in a totally unparliamentary manner to oppose the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh redefining the definition of anarchy for those who thought of Kejriwal as one 'cause of his many "dharnas".

Talking of AAP and Kejriwal;  the govt. they ran  in Delhi resigned (knowing it's time is up anyway); but before doing so - filed an FIR against India's most powerful businessman in India - Mr. Mukesh Ambani and a couple of Ministers from the Congress party for colluding on gas pricing. While Anil Ambani was fuming about the electricity pricing audit; the elder brother was surely not amused either. Guess Ambanis will not be contributing to AAP election campaign funds for sure. By the way, no sooner AAP gave up governing Delhi it announced its candidates for national elections. Great strategy - while Delhi will be administered under President's rule, AAP has no more external and internal worries in as far as governance is concerned - it was doing a terrible job anyway. I heard this from someone "Dogs chase and bark at moving cars - put the same dogs in the car and they will not know what to do". AAP is a great watch dog but bad driver. Will this fact eventually benefit the BJP the most?

Then we have Kejriwal word bashing Modi & BJP Co. on corruption and collusion with the rich; Modi taunting Rahul Gandhi & Congress Co. on corruption and collusion with the rich; and  Rahul Gandhi criticizing the whole world (including his own) I suppose on issues of corruption and collusion with the rich. Each of these guys can change the lyrics but the sound of it all is still the same.

Mani must be regretting calling Modi a "Chaiwalla" as I don't see a single person in the tea trade now voting for anyone but Modi; who has now made local corner tea-stalls a gathering point for BJP's discourses on how they will wave the magic wand to make India glorious once again. The interim budget made by the finance minister attempts to please any particular section of the society was an actual displeasure to all. The newspapers have become advertorials for the political parties and when you count the adverts; it seems like a completely sponsored morning rag. My message to these guys - you are wasting tax money to announce what you have done; but had you done what you had to do then there would be no need to announce. If there was so much progress why is the economy limping at sub 5% and inflation leaping above 10%?
