A Sedition mukht Blog meant as a LOL


                                                            A Sedition mukht Blog meant as a  LOL
 The ink on my forefinger is still on though its spread is getting leaner and leaner. It is déjà vu for Modi and his party- better known as Modi –Shah party(MSP) and not as BJP or its distant cousin NDA. India re-experienced the euphoria of downing Congress and  swimming with Modi as it did in 2014 and the present jubilation is over the re-coronation of a Supremo whose self confidence continues to blaze through his slogan ‘Modi hai to Mumkin hai’.  The vociferous chant “All hail, Namo, hail to thee” has currently been overtaken by ‘Jai Sri Ram’ echoing from the Parliamentary hall. It is one way of strengthening their pious resolve  to model themselves on the MaryadaPurush to re-establish Ramrajya in Bharat.  I do not know if Sri Ram would have endorsed this holy cry of Modi Bhakts now turned into Ram Bhakts. How many of our honourable  MPs remember Gandhiji’s concept of Ramrajya which he wrote in 1929. Gandhiji said:  By Ramrajya I do not mean Hindu Raj. I mean by Ramarajya, Divine Raj, the Kingdom of God. For me Rama and Rahim are one and the same deity. I acknowledge no other God but the one God of truth and righteousness. Whether Rama of my imagination ever lived or not on this earth, the ancient ideal of Ramarajya is undoubtedly one of true democracy in which the meanest citizen could be sure of swift justice without an elaborate and costly procedure. Even a dog had received justice under Ramarajya”
               The oath taking ceremony of the freshly minted members has been on over the last two days There has been no interruption during this oath taking exercise except for the silence  now and then shattered by loud thumping of the desks for some special members like Sadhvi Pragya and Smriti Irani.  Smriti Irani was loudly cheered as the ‘giant killer’ of this election. What an irony! She had defeated Rahul Gandhi who was for all the modi acolytes a ‘pappu’. How did ‘pappu’ become a giant and Smriti become a giant killer ? Her victory was akin to  wielding a sledge hammer to swat a fly. When the ‘bhakts’ go euphoric, they tend to have short memories!
Victory is victory. It does not matter how it happens. EVMs have lived upto their reputation and displayed Every Vote Modi. Model Code of Conduct was scrupulously followed. Afterall what is in an acronym”? MCC is also Modi Code of Conduct. How does it matter if unemployment data was kept hidden and released only after the elections when it showed the huge all time low of employment figures? Again why fault the Modi sarkar when the elections have proved without doubt that people vote for promises made and not promises fulfilled. Who is bothered about the cacophony about unemployment, agrarian distress, faulty GST implementation, demonetization disaster, failure of intelligence that brought the Pulwama genocide, daily martyrdom of jawans and army majors  etc. etc., when the ruling party not even once referred to those contentious issues during the election speeches?  They were non issues for them and the silence of the ruling party made voters forget those issues. Master Strategy. The only goal was to win elections.  What a paradox! In spite of overwhelming allegiance to Lord Ram, revered as  dharmovigravan (virtue incarnate) the Modi party followed only Lord Krishna who said where victory is concerned, means should not matter..Gandhi differed and insisted on means  and not the ends. That is why Sadhvi Pragya praised Godse for getting rid of Gandhi, the anti Krishna.  Well our epics are handy and our Gita is a veritable treasure of quotable quotes for every occasion. Modi party has a magnificent IT cell that can uncork the heady brew of politics and spiritualism and assist its leaders to inebriate people with populist promises of a Ram Mandir and a Ravana vadham where Ravana is in the West. The muscularity of promises has a greater sway than the realistic emaciation of prosperity.
              The PM was at its magnanimous best when he delivered his first speech post election win. The heat of the elections was over and he offered cold comfort to the opposition asking them to let bygones be bygones which included the vitriolic attacks and blatant accusations made against ex PMs now in heaven( who knows , say Modi bhakts- may be in hell if not in water parched India.) Well, the victorious boxer after felling down the opponents with punches below the belt, in keeping with the tradition of sportsmanship offers his hand to the opponent to rise from the floor and embraces him. Modi bhakts clapped their hands in admiration and saluted their  leader for his magnanimity.
              PM had greeted 2014 win with an announcement of Swacch Bharat. He wielded the broomstick to clean the road that unfortunately did not have filth and dirt. Anyhow gestures and photo ops  are equal to a thousand words of oratory. If 2014 win started on a cleaning spree, 2019 win has begun with water that was absent in keeping the toilets clean. To make amends for aswachh bharat, the PM has promised piped water to all rural households. With water emergency currently in almost all the states and with women queuing for water with empty buckets, PM’s announcement sounds like the Biblical announcement “Let there be water and there was water.”  The thirsty populace virtually quenched their thirst over PM’s promise of water largesse. The earlier promise of chule mukht Bharat  was when PM gifted gas cylinders to poor women which was well captured in the huge hoardings in all gas stations. What if the second cylinder could not be bought? The PMs promise did hold at least for twenty days. So the 2019 promise  will certainly be a pipe dream. God bless our PM  for his watery promises.
                2019 new session has coincided with infant mortality in Bihar. There has been a stony stoic silence from the PM and his political ally, the Bihar CM and his  Deputy CM. What can they say when the villain is the humble lychee , the AAF(aam admi fruit). Maybe our urban fatsos need lychees to bring down their spiraling blood sugar level, but the urban man’s ambroisa is the rural child’s poison. What can PM or CM and all their men do, if lychee misbehaves!. Silence is the answer in such a situation, an art so well practiced by our PM for five years and presently emulated by his allies.
                PM is a man in a hurry. He should not be likened to Nero who was fiddling when Rome was burning. So when children are dying, when our soldiers are getting blasted and martyred, when water has become a vanishing commodity, his  ISRO team with its Chandrayaan project is going to explore the southern part of the moon in search of water. Dream big and that will be a comfort is the lesson to be learnt.
               Hence the PM dreams of one Nation, one poll. This is priority for the Parliament as it will bring in an enormous saving for the exchequer since the PM  and his ace deputy need not fly to make their Bharat Darshan all through the years. Only once, and that should be enough to seal the poll. Good strategic thinking. But the stupid emasculated opposition makes an inaudible protest as this would mean federalism mukht bharat. But PM has his last laugh. Does it matter if we have one more mukht? After all Hinduism preaches us that only body mukht souls can dare dream of ascending to Heaven.
               Hey, Modi bhakts, this is sedition mukht blog and don’t seek my incarceration in Tis hazari barracks.
