I too have to say...

Let the disgruntled opposition shout from the rooftops and paranoid journos and intelligentsia rub the psyche of common men wrong way from their editorial tables and newsrooms, Aren’t we in the safe hands of some of the greatest leaders of India’s living History? For the first time in India’s full blossom Panja (Not Lotus) Democracy, we neither have power centers at 7, Race Course Road nor 10, Janpath : it has slowly trickled down to a comrade by the name of Prakash Karat. A self styled Leftist who is always right about everything, be it his whims of having a ‘Political’ President and ‘Non Political ‘ Vice President or his fancies of dangers of MNCs swamping the retail trade in India or need of Industrial Revolution in West Bengal by grabbing the lands of proletariats and farmers. There is Tsunami of such dichotomies unleashed by him and his Secular, Pre poor , Anti Imperialistic , Minority sensitive alliance assaulting every other ‘Reason’ from the other side of table. He can find fault with anything with equal authority, ask A PJ Abdul Kalam, Shivraj Patil or even his own comrade Somnath Chatterjee , they would vouch for this from their own experiences.

With big ‘No’ for all the major reforms from this Big Boss, our clean, modest, honest and self effacing PM does not have any thing to do but receiving feelers from party and partners. To the benefit of ‘We, the people of India’, the failed Glasgow Terrorist plots have brought the other side of his humble persona- He can shed tears or two for the plight of Indians (read Minority or more specifically Muslims), implicated for the first time in some global terror act. Before his tears could flood the shores of Down Under, our ‘Man’ was freed by the Australian Judicial System, a tad too early by standards of Indian Legal System. Poor PM! He lost his life time chance of showing his tears, if there are some droplets still left in his oasis of tears, he can show them for thousands of people languishing in the Indian Jails waiting for their fate to be decided by the Indian Legal system.

This saga cannot be completed without the mention of another Leader of Masses, our adorable Rail Minister has already taken the Harvard, MIT and IIM for joy ride with his success stories, this is going to become a things of past with his latest escapade. He is on the verge of getting his name written in the Ripley’s Believe it or Not by forcibly landing his Helicopter on a busy National Highway in Bihar. Very soon, Helicopters will jostle for the space with buffaloes, cows and carts in the potholed roads of Bihar. What else would make India shinning than this spectacle! Who knows India can get its first elusive Oscar by making a film called “ Land it like Lalu”…

There are other equally capable leaders working overtime to make India a Developed country as soon as possible without waiting for 2020. We all know, Soniajee continues to pick up the ‘Dreams’ of ‘Rajeevjee” and making them come true, be it Women Empowerment by making Pratibha Tai President or Youth Upliftment by bringing Rahul to don the mantle of Congress …

As long as we have leaders like them, We can have sound sleep at nights… that’s rest assured
