Interesting times ahead

Our 'Clown Prince' made a bizarre claim after going to Noida to empathise with the farmers. He took pictures of a heap of ashes and claimed that 70 farmers were burned by the Police. Further, he claimed that many women were raped. He gave the pictures to the media and took it up even with the Prime Minister as a proof against Mayawati Government's atrocities. Now it appears that there were no traces of human bones or flesh in the ashes, and no women has been raped. The hugely emabarassed Clown prince has gone underground, and his apologists have been trotting out the excuse that he has been 'misled' by his team. Some farmers loose talk was taken as gospels truth by the PM in waiting and tom tomed.

The whispers have been going around for quite a while that the 'Clown' Prince is not well endowed in the portion above the neck and is frankly deficient. And the rich little poor guy, who only wanted to have a good time with his South American girl friend and never too keen on doing a days hard work is finding out that he is inadequate. His father was sincere, but naive. The son is plain dumb. I dread to think what will happen to India if he were ever to become the PM. We have suffered enough with the ineffectual MMS for the last half a decade, and we deserve better.

The signs of Congress not coming back to power in 2014 is good as of now. With  Congress likely to get a drubbing in UP and AP, and having made a mess of Karnataka, lost its base and ally in TN, in power by the narrowest of margins in Kerala, which means they will have less number of MPs in the next election, and opposition in power in most of the States, there is a good chance that they will be reduced to double digits in the next Lok Sabha. Before that they will be in serious trouble in the Rajya Sabha, where they will be in a minority.

Who will be the next PM of India? It looks more and more like one of the Regional Party head will lead the country with BJP support - most likely Nitish Kumar or even Jayalalitha, unless Narendra Modi decides to enter the National stage, which doesnt look likely at this stage. And this alliance may get the support of Mamata Banerjee or a resurgent Left (Mamata will make a mess of West Bengal as she has done with the Railways Ministry. Her track record as a minister is poor. She just do not possess the administrative skill of someone like Jayalalitha. In such a scenario, the people of West Bengal will revert back to the Left) or even Mayawati (who is sure to retain UP and become much stronger).

The next few years will see lot of realignment of forces in the country and could be quite interesting.
