Parliament Starts with a "K" :D

Frankly, I'm not a man with a keen eye on politics. The way i see it(just as the average Indian sees it), our Parliament is the second largest congregation of ugly criminals in India(Second only to "Jails":P) It further does not help that the Indian Political Structure(as they told me in 8th/9th grade) is one of the most complicated the world has seen. Full to the brim with equally complicated politicians. But when a major party of a ruling coalition withdraws support & threats of an imminent fall of the government arise, even the most flaccid and pedestrian political viewers have got to stand up and take notice!

What a dramatic couple of weeks it has been! The Parliament, I realised, is the very reason why men do not watch K-serials. Not only is the drama real and totally intense, not only are the bitching and stabs-in-the-back more grave, but the outcome of the above forces may well alter your plans and schemes for another 5 years! Watch one, just one session of the Parliament and you'll realise how pathetic and ridiculous K-serial drama really is!

So putting it in my typical carefree and insouciant way, all this political brouhaha seems to revolve around a Nuclear-Deal being proposed by the USA. Details, I do not know, but it seems that they'll give us a fair amount of sanctions for nuclear testing and use. And apparently, its been coming for a while now. It was initiated by the BJP some 5 years ago , when they were in power. But unfortunately, they fell from power and the Congress emerged victorious with a great deal of help from the Communist brigades. Commies are secular, so they don't side with "religious-fanatic-scum" like BJP and other Saffrons. Anyway, the Congress found a golden opportunity to complete this "historic" deal and bark about it for years later. And they had 5 years to. It had to happen.

Don Vito Corleone once told his son, Sonny, "Sonny, you never go against the family. Never let an outsider know about a rift in the family". Obviously the Lefties were too high-handed to accept the Don's immortal words. They put the dirty laundry in the UPA family up for all to see. It was a deal they COULD refuse. They did not want it, for anything that comes from America is cursed, vile and spam potent enough to destroy the world. While they claimed that they deal makes no sense to the poor Indian and the benefits would not trickle down as easily as Chidambaram thought, political viewers more adept than myself commented that this hullabaloo would not happen had the deal come from China.


So after playing hide-and-seek with the Politburo for around 3 years(!), PM Manmohan Singh and the Congress puffed their chests out and said they wanted the deal. Commies said, "touch the deal and we withdraw support". A comment that Congress knew had deflated their recently puffed chests.

But last month, the "Man" in Mohan finally got up and said, "support or no support, I'm taking the deal". Indeed it was a deal he couldn't refuse. India is reeling under an energy crisis which is hindering industrial productivity, which is India's Core Competence on the global stage. More energy, like Alessandra Ambrosio, was something to be grabbed with both hands. He took the deal.

It was a move that would shock even the nonagenarian leftist. The Karats, Bardhans, Basus and other babu-moshais agreed to disagree. The Capitalism-blinded Congress had to be taught a lesson. The Red Army marched and punched their Iron Fists in the Congress' guts and yodelled, "Commies not dead!". And it was "Curtains" for the coalition. The Reds chose the Saffrons instead.

The Congress didn't want no elections given the "economic slowdown" and the "high uncontrolled rates of inflation" that the BJP is rebukingly pointing out every 3 days. They ran helter and skelter, hither and tither, from pillar to post, from a jailed MP to the undertrial one. Unlike what Einstein said," whoever could be counted, counted!". Which is where i feel the Congress lost the credibility it had managed to raise with loan-waivers, n-deals and what not. In the recent Parliament session, false accusations, lies and currency notes came thick and fast. So fast that our poor aging Speaker could no longer follow what was going on. It was like me at a thriller movie. But it kinda proved what a bitch democracy can be at times. Do one good deed and 5 bad ones to atone for it.

K serials? This is the REAL set! The REAL drama!
