This is History (836)

I am a man of action. Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy.

Raja Bhoj vs Gangu teli

My friend who works for a Political Think Tank meets me for a bite at a  restaurant in CP....over sumptuous

Cheese Cutlets and Coffees we get chatting.

Friend: One fact has been missed... to Renuka's cackle Modi gave a befitting reply in 15 seconds... not only befitting but 'politically correct' as without even naming Suphnakha the message went as he intended..so tactfully was it worded...

Me: And everyone in the Treasury Benches  broke out into laughter.... for the first time saw Amit Shah laugh with sheer gay abandon...

F: Okay now if RaGa had to respond....first his Think Tank of 13 Members would conjure the response...in Parliament one of the LS Aides would carry a paper with the advise to Sonia... she'd read it and hand it to Scindia... who would read it and explain it to RaGa... RaGa would then give his reply to such a cackle... time lag 1 hour 45 minutes!! By that time the House would have moved on..

M: RaGa is off to Singapore....first... US ...then Bahrain ...now Singapore..

F: He gets a travel itch every month.... but why is he visiting  Tax Havens only... as per latest reports US is now itself the biggest Tax Haven..Singapore and Bahrain known Tax Havens...

M: Maybe on his own he's looking for Black Money!!!

F: Wonder does this adage fit .....Chiraag ke neeche andhera....

M: He feels he can draw political mileage from the Raffale issue...

F: Arre is it possible the Chinese Ambassador in the spirit of Congress - China friendship has asked for help... one to find out the modifications...and two to stop further purchases... Chinese are pretty besharam and can make such demands in the name of friendship...RaGa's Great Grandpa faced their besharmi.

M: Ha ha.... Kalyug hai ...kuch bhi ho saktha hai!!

F: But seriously I feel he is deeply  anguished at such a huge deal being signed without any ghoos!!!

M: Maybe he feels Modi Government is setting a wrong example..precedence...

F: Arre even RaGa's ardent supporters say ....on the condition of anonymity....no scam in Rafalle ...maybe some controversy!!!

M: And I hear many of his ardent supporters agreeing on the  condition  of anonymity...that he's not PM material...and hoping if BJP does not get the majority numbers in 2019 then maybe someone like Rajnath could be the PM in a Band Aid Government... or resecucitate Advani..

F: Rajnath should take this as an insult...Advani .... he will take it lije a compliment...

M: I was just wondering... Jaitley has filed a 10 cr Defamation case against Kejri...whereas a Journo is in the process of filing a 100 cr Defamation case against a Lawyer...

F: Shouldn't the amount commiserate with the person's stature...after all it is damage to one's  reputation.... how do you quantify in monetary  terms ..someone's reputation...

M: In this case its that old adage..... kahaa Raja Bhoj aur kahaa Gangu Telli...

We have a good laugh..pay the tab and move out.
