Rahul Gandhi As VP – Beating Around The Bush
On a fine winter morning a Jolly good city bus driver
whistled his way inside the bus depot and got behind the wheels of his
designated vehicle to start his day. He was accompanied by the conductor of the
bus and both of them prayed to their respective Gods for a joyful day ahead before
going past the gates of the depot to the thinly crowded city streets. At the
first stop few guys boarded the bus and the conductor got busy with his ticketing
session. At the second stop few more boarded while few others got down. It was going
as normal as any other day until on the fourth stop a Pathan got in. Built like
a WWE wrestler standing at a height around 7 and half and not an ounce below
150 Kg. Thumping his way inside he announced in an intimidating tone ‘Pathan
won’t buy tickets’ and sat on the last row. Poor conductor barely crossing the
height of 5 and half couldn’t just muster enough courage to ask the beast for
tickets. After three stops the Pathan got down as nonchalantly as he boarded,
leaving the conductor and driver in disarray.
The routine followed the next day with Pathan entering the
cabin and announcing ‘Pathan won’t buy tickets’ and going to the back of the
bus for his free ride. This naked display of massive physic continued for some
time with both the conductor and driver chickening out each time Pathan denied
to buy any tickets. Not sure of the conductor but the driver started losing his
sleep thinking about this daily humiliation. He was feeling dejected for not
questioning such unacceptable behavior of the Pathan just because he is
physically more massive than him and his conductor friend put together. He
finally decided to take this on his own and joined martial art classes that
winter. He learned Karate, Kung Fu, Judo and many such dreaded physical
attributes to set the Pathan straight. By the end of fall he not only was
master in many martial art forms but was also feeling good about him for being physically
fitter than he was six months back.
The next day, the driver decided to take the Pathan head on.
As expected Pathan boarded at the fourth stop and announced ‘Pathan won’t buy
tickets’ and started to walk towards the back of the bus as usual. The driver with
his newfound energy slammed the breaks and got up from his seat and intercepted
the Pathan. He gave that look of a seasoned trouble shooter while rolling
up his sleeves he shouted back ‘And why exactly the Pathan won’t buy tickets?’
Now a bewildered Pathan looked questionably at the driver and then at all
directions possible. After gathering his composure he looked at the driver
again and said, still with that bewildered look on his face ‘Because Pathan has
a monthly bus pass’.
Now the moral of the story – first figure out the real
problem before you jump in and start working to fix it.
I see a lot of bus drivers among Congress ranks after the
Chintan Sivir. Though there is absolutely nothing writing worthy coming out of
the Sivir, I would still give it to Congress and their perpetual sycophants for
proving yet again; there isn’t much difference between democracy and dynasty
when it comes to India. Not at least for a party full with buffoons who just
can’t visualize their existence without someone from the Gandhi-Nehru family
routinely whipping their rears. Do you see any difference between these
Congress stooges and the bus driver? Yes, the bus driver was honest but that’s not
the topic we are discussing. Without knowing the real problem of a declining
Congress, the clowns yet again decided to lean upon the Gandhi family to rescue
a sinking or even a half drown ship. Just like the driver these jokers have
made a lot of noise for Rahul Gandhi and elected him as the vice president of
the party thinking the problem is with lack of leadership alone which Rahul Baba
will fix at once by his magic wand.
But is it the real problem that the party is facing? Even if
it is, is Rahul Gandhi the answer for that leadership vacuum? Not sure of the
first question but for sure the answer is a ‘NO’ for the second one; at least after
listening the Gandhi scion’s inaugural speech as the vice president of the
party. Terrible I would say. Each line seemed as if picked straight from an
Ekta Kapoor script with a hell lot of drama and no substance. Again, we are not
discussing about Rahul Gandhi’s speech writers or their IQ or the absence of it
either.
For a long, long time the grand old party is out of sync
with many things. Be it the youth of the nation or the middle class which bore
a permanent constipated look because of the prolonged double digit inflation;
it is Congress which looked out of shots to deal with their pain and day-to-day
struggle. The discontent among the middle class is justifiable to the last
molecule. A lot of people agitated alongside Anna Hazare for a corruption free
society. They were somewhat successful also when the government was forced to its
knees to agree upon the legitimate demand of a more stringent anti-corruption
law. But did that materialized? If not then why? A descent effort by the
government for enforcing the Lokpal would have gone a long way in satisfying
the middle class urge but alas the hawks in Congress seldom care for the middle
class’s plight. Conveniently a bunch in Congress plotted a plan to hoodwink the
nation with their blatant lies and in the process proved Dr. Manmohan Singh a liar
since he is the one who promised the nation of a stringent law to curb
corruption. Do you think Rahul Gandhi as the vice president can bridge that
discontent? Wasn't he one of those who tried to shift the goal post during the
parliamentary discussion on a strong Lokpal by proposing a constitutional
stature for the legislation? Do the dynasty worshipers think the middle class
to be shudders to forget such cunning display of a surname so easily?
Can they even forget the miscarriage of democracy in the
hands of a handful arrogant good for nothing types of Congress at Ramlila
ground? In a nation where a person is never heard of talking on pertinent and
important issues but gets himself full time busy with gimmicks only and then
expecting him to do a Feviquick act in gelling with the middle class is as
absurd as Rajiv Shukla in an ill fitted suite. Least talked about the impact of
Rahul Gandhi as the vice president of Congress on the populace is better since
Dunken Fletcher might have better impact on team India than him.
Before he became the vice president he was a youth icon. At
an age of 44 he is still called a youth, defying the definitions of the best of
dictionaries but we are not discussing on that either. Though how and when Rahul
Gandhi transformed himself to a youth icon from an average useless hack with a solid
surname is still a point to ponder, the Congress chaps have left no stones
unturned in making him one with their tireless howling on every platform they
got. That is commendable since it is only their effort that has put an absolute
nondeserving entity on the list of youth icons, next only to Sachin Tendulkar.
Hang on; or is it the other way round?
The so called youth icon seem to have lost that marginally
existing connect that he shared with the youth few years back. While the youth
was getting laathi charged and water cannoned for demanding a safer city for
the women, the youth icon was seen nowhere in the vicinity to listen to them.
What kind of youth icon one can be when he has got all the power of the world
to help the youth but just doesn’t care to have a talk with them? In that case
my ass can’t be that bad a youth icon for all that one cares. Do the clowns in
the party believe the youth would forget the pain Rahul Gandhi took to pillion ride
to Bhatta Parsaul to meet the agitating farmers for his political gains since
the UP elections were round the corner but never cared to drive in with his caravan
of Limos and BMWs to meet them at Jantar Mantar or India Gate? Not even once.
Is that how a touted youth icon gels with the youth? Hell, the rapport that
Rahul enjoys with the youth of India now is more precarious than what Pakistan
enjoys on international platforms.
But
the drivers in Congress not only misread the real problem but also the effect
it might bear during 2014 general elections if it is not taken care on
priority. Even if they could be forgiven for lacking the foresight and sense of
judgment but running around like a hoard of clueless sheeps and thinking Rahul
Gandhi is the answer to clean up the mess is criminal. This is plain and simple
sycophancy which is such an unspeakable act the Congress guys are so fond of
doing again-and again since the days of Jawaharlal Nehru. Barring the golden
days of Lalbahadur Shastri or Narashimha Rao, it is all but Gandhi surname that
so strangely has kept the crooks flock together. They might have succeeded at
times by playing their emotional card but can they be able to do it again with Rahul Gandhi when
the world looks like a small little village in the present scenario of
technology and networking? And yes, let’s not strike out our paid and sold out
media though.
Perfect and To-the-point summery of current situation and peoples in Congress. Hell, I wish Rahul Gandhi never gets married since that's the only chance for us to have a non Gandhi leader leading the bunch of old faggots in Congress.
ReplyDeleteNo man, we are not that lucky! Priyanka has two children...
ReplyDeleteAll chanchas of congs is doing this for their own interest. If you had a weak leader they are free to run their business!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuperbly well written article. Until Cong has conductors like Diggi, Mani Aiyar, Khurshid, KNath, Sibal...the bus can only go downhill.
ReplyDeleteas long as there is Congress, the country is doomed.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post! All said and done. We only talk. What happened to Anna movement, Kejriwal's revelations, Swamy's 2G. Everything fizzled out with time. So will people's memory. The educated don't vote and keep barking for all the problems. If we can spend hours eating pani puri, watching fun movie, partying, why can't we give 10 mins our time to weed out the current scumbags in politics. Can you!!? The attitude of nothing will change should change!. Change won't happen instantly, it might take months or decades. But we need to start. If we need to see an ethical and moral society our leaders should be one. We should pick them and not let them pick themselves. There's a saying' Yatha raja thatha praja". Congress is coming with an excellent game plan and ramping up their organizational skills with their money power. Unless the youth wake up and arise, there's no light, no future. Yuvraj and WTE ( Waitress turned Empress) are bound to destroy every value and ethics Be prepared for '3rd round of radicalization' I hope you remember the first two ( Clue - Moguhals / British)
ReplyDelete100% compulsory voting is the only solution.
ReplyDeleteNow only 50% of the people's opinion is reflected in the lok sabha rajya sabha and other elected bodies of the state and municipalities.
When every citizen is force to cast his vote the Lok Sabha Rajya Sabha and other elected bodies will reflect the true opinion of the people.
Some people might argue that candidates are not good. But once this system kickstarts automatically good candidates will come forward to stand for election.
Our crooked political leaders have a vested interest in maintaining this low voter turn out.
Also those who want to vote via internet should be given this facility. When nearly everything is bought and sold on the internet today why not voting. Some may argue that this can lead to fraud. But even EVMs can be misused isnt it? It has been proved!
Note. Polliticians will oppose this idea just as they opposed lokpal. It is for us to fight and get this done just like we got RTI done.
It is 3 days since this Jaipur blooper..however IBNLIVE news prefer this as a headlines in their website even today "Can Rahul GAndhi's emotional pitch for change turn the tide for the Congress"?
ReplyDeleteNothing is ever going to change in India at least in my lifetime. People thought after Mayawati came to power in UP there wud b some improvement, what happened?? Ditto Didi in WB. Now already ppl in UP know what is in store for them after bringing back SP. Whoz goin to save our country and whoz the alternative. Every govt is beating the record of corruption of previous govt. WHERE IS THE ALTERNATIVE? NDA also failed as an alternative to UPA. What will voters do in 2014. There are no clear favorites. No party or coalition has a vision for the country. Dont expect anything good will happen in this country in near future. Kalam's 2020 is nearing. Where do we stand? We are living in HOPELESS times. Nobody can save us.
