Sujjo Kanto and Ritu Bruto on free LPG connections (satire)

It was a closed door meeting of the new kids on the block. They were excited because they could feel the wind blowing in their favor. It was getting clear from the way Didi was ranting and pacing the dais of her meeting with the masses. There was anger in her pose and voice.
The venue was jam-packed with women and children but, from the expression on their faces, it looked as if they were not much interested in the figures that Didi was belting out.
‘I think we need to draw up some strategies that will pay rich dividends,’ Sujjo Kanto said.

‘Yes,’ Audi Choudy agreed. ‘Our ideas must be to generate employment for the masses. And, invite industries to return.’
‘We could consider going solar,’ Ritu Bruto said. ‘That is the latest craze. The e-boats launched in Varanasi is the best example. They are pollution free, safe and clean. And – the new generation of boatmen can remain connected to their smart phones and tabs.’
Momad Sulley smiled.
‘That Moody character is real smart,’ he said. ‘He is winning over the people who matter. His free LPG to the poor women is another beauty. He has handed out cardboard replicas and the real stuff will follow.’
‘I agree with you,’ Sujjo Kanto said. ‘But – many of these poor women do not have any roof over their heads. They do not have any permanent address. How will the gas company maintain records?’
‘They will develop the skills via Skill India programs,’ Ritu Bruto said.
‘These women usually toil throughout the day and engage in menial jobs to earn money and augment the family income,’ Sujjo Kanto went on. ‘They are used to fuels like dry sticks, wood and cow dung cakes. Now, they will cook their meals on LPG stoves.’
‘Yes, these are the forerunners of Achhe Din,’ Momad Sulley added. ‘Where there is a will, there is a way. We must not under estimate the women who would get the free LPG connection. They will have to cultivate the habit of protecting the gas stove from rains. They will have to ensure that rats do not gnaw way the rubber tube.’
‘I heard that Moody’s boys are organizing special classes to train the new entrants into the world of cooking on gas,’ Audi Choudy sad. ‘His minister Ranee-ji has taken the task on her shoulders. And – she plans to reach out to all new users through weekly radio programs.’ (to be continued …)
