Didi plans to punish her naughty boys (satire)

Didi was furious. She exhibited her fury and rage in open meetings – that was to impress her followers and for the benefit of the electronic media. She, like any other leader, knew that these media persons have to earn their living and they need to be pampered once in a while.
Like the time when she shared a packet of jhaal moori with a member of a different party. Jhaal-moori is a favorite fast food of Bengalis and the media went to town on it - she and her jhaal-moori companion enjoyed the episode. The media blew it out of proportion and it kept the rumor mongers busy dreaming up future scenarios.

But – this time Didi was really furious because of continuous infighting among her followers.
‘Why don’t you control your men?’ she asked Patro Chatto, her right hand man. ‘We had thrown out that Arrah Bull character and have brought him back. Then that Money Rule and Anu Mandel – they keep talking their mouths off. Why can’t you keep them in check?’
‘They are worried about their future,’ Moo Cool said in a soft voice. Actually, he had lost his voice totally but had managed to get it back – thanks to Didi’s kindness. He had realized which side of his bread was buttered by whom.
‘They know that their syndicate raaj is sitting on a bed of quicksand that can swallow them any moment,’ Omit Misra explained. ‘All of them want to eat the pie.’
‘That is fine,’Didi sad. ‘I understand – they also have to survive. But – they need not make a hue and cry over it. They can resolve their differences quietly. Anyway, I will punish those naughty boys.’
Moo Cool and Patro Chatto exchanged glances with Omit Misra. Didi had branded those ‘boys’ as naughty boys long ago but she cannot do without them. What punishment can she mete out?
‘I want it to be a public punishment,’ she said.
‘Public?’ Moo Cool was shocked.
‘Yes,’ Didi was calm. ‘Arrange for a public meeting. Let them be there on the stage.’
Once again Moo Cool, Patro Chatto and Omit Misra exchanged glances. They knew that Didi would do justice. But – she was unpredictable. What sort of punishment did she have in mind?
‘Yes,’ she was firm. ‘I will punish them in public. I will not talk to them. I will ignore them. They will realize that I am not happy. And – let the media take note of that. Dee Wreck must do that. By the way - where is he?’
‘He is preparing the write up for loading on the social media site,’ Moo Cool replied. (to be continued …)
