SHOES TO BE BANNED IN ALL COUNTRIES
A New Security Program Will Be Initiated For All Senior Leaders
In purview of the recent events we (all senior leaders of the different A-Z countries) have decided to bring in a law where by wearing of shoes will be banned. This will be done to deter the new breed of terrorists that have cropped up, we need to disarm them, ‘We MUST DISARM’ them.

List of Victims –
George W Bush
Wen Jiabao
Palaniappan Chidambaram

Therefore all journalists will go around bare foot from hence forth. This will also be the new identification method, any one without a shoe shall be considered as a journalist and a maximum security must be made when they are present.

India - Because of the yesterday’s event and breach of HM security and impending elections, for safety reasons all people who will be allowed to meet the leaders or aspiring leaders will have to remove their shoes and leave it with the security experts.

Some parties have shown concern on the issue of 'stinking socks' but those will come under the scanner of the UN as chemical weapons. And as per the UN charter they will be covered under the WMD rules. For now we shall request that journalists should stay away from using such chemical weapons as they will not only harm the leader but common people as well. The fourth pillar of democracy must ensure the safety of its citizens.

Any journalist found carrying out sting operations by wearing shoes and slippers will be tried under the NSA acts.

Also all party meeting has been called so that they can approach the election commission on this issue. And all political parties accept these as standard norms due to the unusual circumstances caused by the financial meltdown.

p.s. – some one needs to be blamed why not use this as an opportunity to blame the bankers just as every one else is blaming them.

Obama style!!

Here starts one of the biggest dramas in the Indian politics, its General Election. And trust me there is nothing general about it. It’s unique in its scale because 1/5th of the world population participate in this circus of democracy.

It is supposed to be one even where huge amount of money is involved in very short span of time. Where in US it takes full two years for the election to happen and humongous amount of money is spent. In India nearly an amount on similar scale is spent in less than three months.

Then the division lines are just as clear here as any place else I guess. Political Parties always make promises and then they for get it when in power. Also a common feature is paying cash for votes through out the verticals. The wannabe member of parliament (MP) will pay cash to general people to vote boot him in the Lok Sabha. Then the party or person who wants to make the govt. will pay any MP ready to vote on a floor test so as to ensure that the govt. survives or gets power.

Well all of these are fairly old tricks for the old as well as the new dogs...

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

In this current general elections what the Dark and the Light Horses are trying are a new phenomenon. Though i am sure they all will fail because they haven’t understood something very vital. This is not USofA and they are not Obama.

Let me make it more clear for simple understanding.

BJP is going all out on the usage of the internet. They have made a website, paid google on words like congress, sonia, rahul etc so that every time some one searches for this he/she will find that on the right side or on the top of the regular results there were be a sponsored result that would take you to LK Advani's website. Now in response even congress has bought those words too. SO you will get two sponsored links.

Now some of these strategies were used by Obama too. And here lies the problem; Obama was not half as famous 3 years before becoming the president. So he had to employee such tactics. Since 1990s Advani has been a key leader for the BJP. For many people he has been the defacto boss.

Now congress has bought the rights of Jai Ho song from slum dog and CPI will be making their own album the way Obama did! Well every one knows that CPI has some influence in only pockets and though there logics are quite strong but they lack the practical part and most importantly they two states they rule are just as famous for corruption as any other.

Lets check out the under/over dogs who have suddenly got into lime light and they have started envisioning themselves as Obama - Mayawati? The political pundits claim so!

Well she has achieved a feat by forming her own govt. in a state but national politics is extremely different ball game. Some how she is not able to justify to that so far. Besides every one know that when she comes to power, she shuts all other criminal because she doesn’t share the plunder openly. NCP too wants to become the PM and then it seems that Gowda is dreaming of a third front where he can claim the throne for himself.

One thing they all are forgetting is that Obama always talked of unifying the country irrespective of the colour, creed, believe, historic background etc. So is there any one who is looking to unify the country that has been divided by the rulers or wannabe rulers on any and every account possible? So far none has emerged on this particular yardstick.

These are the volatile moments, only time will tell who has got the right style or maybe none have it – in case there is hung parliament.
