Bharat Judai Party stacking wood for the funeral pyre (satire)


Once touted as the Bharat Jodo Party, it is now busy scripting a recipe for destruction and might be renamed the Bharat Judai Party. There is a saying of putting nails in the coffin – here it seems to be an attempts to pile wood on to the funeral pyre!
The leaders feel they can get away with blue murder and some of them keep trying out new concepts of how to stir the hornet’s nest and watch it disturb a well set combination. They make atrocious comments just to see the effect it has on the masses and, within no time, retracts it saying that they were misquoted.
Poor Moody was a frustrated leader and in a dilemma.
His lieutenants are creating problems and he has to keep mending fences not just with outsiders but also within his own party seniors. He knows that he is always at a disadvantage and tries to make up for it by his oratory powers. Dhokla and lime juice are fine at times but not always – there must be variety.
‘Why don’t we get on with our agenda?’ he asked the minsters sitting in front of him.
‘I have not lost track of my agenda,’ Uma-ji, the Ganga Madam replied. ‘The banks of the river in Varanasi are regularly being cleaned. I am also keeping a check on the depth of water – it has not increased but had not reduced either. That is a good sign – we certainly can introduce trips across the Ganges soon.’
‘How soon?’ Moody asked.
‘Well – once the other localities do their cleaning part. The clean-up mission is a joint effort.’
Moody now looked at his minister of education.
‘And – what about our plans to modify the syllabus to include you know what.’
Ranee-ji gave her well known smile.
‘Don’t worry – things are under control. We have yet to complete two years – what we have achieved within this short time is unparalleled in history. Did you not see how those students in FTII finally surrendered?’
Moody now looked from Gadcurry to Jet Lee, Sue Sharma, Vicky Singh, Hash Budden and Baba Someday. They were the pillars on which Moody’s success depended.
‘Since all of us are here, I want to know why some of our people make statements that do more harm to us than good.’ ‘Actually – they want to get noticed.’
‘Today they say something and tomorrow they say they were misquoted. Do they not know that the novelty wears off and the cutting edge gets blunt if any weapon is used too often?’
‘They are novices, new to this job. It is the learning curve. Give them some time and they will become our assets.’ ‘Anyway,’ Moody sighed. ‘Our seniors are unhappy with the latest election results.’
‘It is actually the generation gap that is showing up,’ Sue Sharma looked at Jet Lee for confirmation.
