Feeling jealous

The photograph of an influential leader with the Prime Minister has figured in political natters. His photograph with a smiling face, coming out in public after a meeting, has evoked a political stir, but many politicians have failed to take it on board. Everyone is trying to know how this meeting took place. On a previous occasion, this leader had already had a direct interaction with the PM at a meeting. It was because of the leader’s request that the PM virtually took part in a meeting held in the leader’s constituency. The name of the leader is discussed across the country because of the development in his area. Besides, because of his simplicity and hard work, he is popular among the masses in his area. Once efforts were made to sideline him, but he returned to the mainstream very fast. He has gradually become close to the senior leaders of the party in Delhi.

Barat ke Fufa (Cartoon-02)

A few ministers are unhappy with the big event to be organised in the state. These ministers are angry, for they are not getting any importance in it.  They want due attention in the event. Some ministers have decided to go to their constituencies after the main event of the big function. The minister of the department associated with the programme is reportedly very annoyed, for the department that functions under him is not getting any weight. But his department is making efforts to collect a crowd for the programme. An officer has made an oblique comment on the anger of these ministers: he said, “A wedding is incomplete if Fufas (husbands of father’s sisters and Jijas (brothers-in-law, sisters’ husbands) are not angry.” Similarly, the ministers who are angry are considered Fufas of a wedding ceremony.

Real respect

About the head of the state, it is said that he has reached the top position with the support of a senior functionary of the RSS. At a function in the state capital, a fine tuning between them was apparent. The discussions between them and their laughter have become part of the political chinwags in the state capital. Another important aspect of the event was that the head of the state cut down his speech in the presence of the RSS functionary. What happened at the function made it clear that the head of the state avoids delivering speeches in the presence of this senior functionary of the RSS who also referred to the flutters in politics with a smiling face. All the senior functionaries of the RSS across the country highly respect this functionary. The politicians who have his blessings always get important responsibilities. So, every leader of the ruling party wants to get closer to this RSS office-holder.

Straight talk

A senior leader of the Congress knows how to hog media headlines. The leader, a former chief minister, has recently made such comments that have evoked discussions in political circles across the state. The former chief minister said that pitching in tents and garlanding senior leaders at party meetings should be immediately stopped, and the money spent on completing such formalities should be deposited in the party’s accounts. Now, some politicians in the Congress are trying to find the meaning of this statement. These leaders want such propaganda to stop.  They also say that the former chief minister made a comment on the poor financial condition of the state Congress. About this former chief minister, it is said that he is not happy with the present leadership of the party. He has no complaints against the PCC president, but he is angry with the PCC team. This is the reason why he says something or the other that stirs up a hornet’s nest. But nobody in the party knows what will be his next move.

What’s the reason?

Some people are trying to find the reasons behind a Congress leader’s criticism of a few BJP politicians and a few officers. The leader has opened a front against a former minister. Everyone in the state is acquainted with the fact that the person, on whose residential premises the probe agencies carried out raids, had barely any relationship with the former minister. The person is related more with a present minister than he was with his previous cabinet colleague. So, it is said that there is some political game behind opening a front against the former minister. Nevertheless, the Congress leader has not uttered a single word against the minister. On some previous occasions, whenever he took any politicians to task by his statements, there were some reasons behind it. The ruling party is collecting info about this leader. The Congress is also not lagging behind. The party is gathering information about the political designs according to which the leader is taking such steps.

Probe shocks!

Two BJP leaders, a former legislator and a sitting MLA, are in a tight spot, because investigating agencies are targeting them. I-T Department sleuths carried out raids on the residential premises of the former legislator whose father had a lot of influence in the government. So, the raids came as a surprise to him. Moreover, since the raids have been carried out during the rule of his own party in the state as well as in Delhi, he is trying to understand the reasons for such action. The sitting legislator is a business tycoon, and EOW has filed a case against him in connection with land deals. Although the legislator, too, is very influential in the ruling party, he does not know the reasons for action by the probe agency.
