AAP in Wonderland


The bunch of broom wielders with noble aspirations of cleansing the Indian polity is living in a fool’s paradise. After their electoral victory these mad-cappers inhabit the Carrollian world alongside Alice. 

Seven-hundred litres of water per person, practically free electricity, free high-quality education, free health care, ad nauseum or shoud I say ad absurdum ….. where do these freebies come from? They plan to tax the convenient whipping boy viz., the 'Middle Class'.

Wave the magic broom and voila! free 24x7 बिजली पानी. Medical Colleges, IITs and IIMs come up in सीमापुरी, शकूर बस्ती and नांगल राया. जनकपुरी gets its own international airport and INS Vikramaditya is anchored in the pristine waters of the Yamuna at Okhla. 

Wave the broom and the winter fog dissipates. Floods, tsunamis, earthquakes and hurricanes will become history - they were the consequences of corruption, you see. 

Fold your hands and Dilliwalas begin to obey traffic rules and quit blowing their horns; topiwala autorickshaw drivers become polite and could teach etiquette to Emily Post. The reprehensible Indian habit of गुटका chewing and spitting vanish overnight, before you can say वंदे मातरम्. Pollution, stray cattle, street dogs, beggars would disappear into some intergalactic black-hole (out-of-sight out-of-mind). Rapists and pederasts would become epitomes of probity. 

Of course, Pakistan would mend its ways and desist from launching terrorists attacks along the LOC. Indian now has a novel weapon of mass destruction – the omnipotent झाड़ू, more destructive than the mythical सुदर्शन चक्र.

How will AAP लोग  dislodge the well entrenched bureaucracy, anchored as it is deeply in the mire of corruption by red tape? These well meaning folk are sleeping with the enemy, and I don’t mean just figuratively – Mrs K is still with the IRS.

Diplomacy, Foreign policy, Fiscal policy, Railways, Natural Resources, Telecom, WTO (WTF?) …. Dear Mango People Party, governance is not just about बिजली पानी सड़क.

However, I wish you all the best; just being the Devil’s Advocate.
