We all vote for these people. These people who go on to form the so called Government. This Government runs our huge nation. We are also the ones who hate the very Government which was formed because of our votes. The Government functions in a funny manner. Then there’s this thing called the Opposition. These are people who’re supposed to object at anything the Government says or does. Then there’s this thing called the Left. They really hate anything non-Indian. They would object if they find toilet paper instead of water at the Lok Sabha loo. So when the Government decides to sign up a Nuke deal with the United States of America, the Left opposes to it. Why? They’re Anti-Americans, don’t you get it?! The Government feels it’s been taken for granted by the Left for a long time and decide to go with the deal. The Left isn’t happy with it. Obviously they choose to withdraw their support to the Government. The opposition wakes up and suddenly smells an opportunity.
So the stage is set for the Mahabharat. Mind you this isn’t anything new at the Lok Sabha. It’s rare that a day passes without one. This time the Mahabharat is fought between the UPA i.e the Government, it’s supporters and the BJP, it’s supporters along with the Left party joining forces against the UPA to topple the Government.
The Mahabharat begins….
The day begins with usual the usual drama. Suddenly BJP MPs claim they’ve been bribed to absent themselves from the vote of confidence session. They seem to have happily accepted the bribe. They then bought it to the Lok Sabha and happily showed off the moolah to the rest of the MPs, teasing them with full glory. L.K Advani felt 9 Crores, the sum offered to the MPs, was way too much. So they decide to make an issue out of it. They shout. They made a hell of noise. They got tired and sat down. They didn’t have the energy to get up or speak out for the rest of the session. Damn! One good point to bomb the day and even that didn’t work for them. Good idea Advani ji!
Meanwhile, not very far away, an MP from Phulpur claimed he went nuts trying to understand the Nuke Deal. So he decided to vote against it. This is the same thing I try to explain to the examiner each time. If I can’t understand what Fourier is, I should probably have the right to vote against it!
