I Don’t Know, Son! - 30

Query Leaves BJP MP Red-faced!
Son: The members of Parliament (MPs) are provided an annual fund of Rs5 crore to recommend development work in their constituencies, dad.
Father: True.  Go on, son.
Son: While most of the MPs use the funds promptly, there are some MPs who are so lazy to even ensure the benefit of the funds to their constituencies, dad.
Father: Disgusting! Go on, son.
Son: The BJP MP Tarun Vijay was curious to know the names of such callous MPs, dad. He raised the question in the Rajya Sabha seeking a list from the government, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: He promptly received a list of 22 such callous MPs, dad. But he was shocked to find one particular name in the list, dad!
Father: Whose name was it?  Go on, son.
Son: It was his own name, dad! He was in the illustrious company of Lalu Prasad Yadav, Anand Sharma (Commerce Minister), Vijay Mallya, H D Kumaraswamy, Ram Jethmalani and Hema Malini, dad!
Father: I don’t know, son!
The Vested Interest!
Son: The Lok Sabha was disrupted over the case in a Siberian court in Russia seeking a ban on Bhagawad Gita, dad.
Father: True. Go on, son.
Son: The two Yadav heavyweights – Lalu and Mulayam – vehemently pressed for intervention by the government, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: The external Affairs minister S M Krishna has termed the plea in court as absurd, dad. He has stated that the Indian embassy is closely monitoring the case, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: The BJP, which is always in the forefront in protecting the interest of the Hindus, is playing only a second fiddle, dad.
Father: How come? Go on, son.
Son:  The party says that the issue is fully taken care of by the ‘vested interests’, dad!
Father: Interesting. Go on, Son.
Son: While the Yadavs trace their descent from Krishna who belonged to Yaduvansh, the name of the external affairs minister is self-explanatory, dad!
Father: I don’t know, son!
Krishna Quotes Bhagawad Gita!
Son: External Affairs Minister S M Krishna’s reply that the Indian embassy is closely monitoring the case has, however, not satisfied the Yadav duo, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: They wanted to know whether mere monitoring the case will help in sorting out the issue, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: In reply Krishna has quoted Bhagawad Gita, dad!
Father: Interesting. Go on, son.
Son: He told them “Karmanyevadhikarasthe Ma Phaleshu Kadachana” (you have a right over action but not on the result), dad!
Father: Wonderful. Go on, son.
Son: The Yadav duo totally agreed with Krishna (Shri Krishna), dad!
Father: I don’t know, son!
Yeddy performs Yajna – not aimed at CM’s Chair!
Son: The former Karnataka CM Yeddyurappa (Yeddy) has performed a Yajna at Kalladka in Dakshina Kannada, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: Yeddy has clarified that the Yajna is not aimed at CM’s chair and it is only to seek divine intervention for good governance in the state through an ‘able leader’, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: Yeddy has, however, said that he was ready to take the responsibility of leading the state again if the central leadership takes a decision, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: Obviously Yeddy believes that he is the only ‘able leader’ on whose behalf he expects a divine intervention, dad!
Father: I don’t know, son!
Many BJP MLAs Want Yeddy Back!
Son: Many of the BJP MLAs say that they want Yeddy to come back as CM, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: They say that only some of the MLAs have taken the advantage of Yeddy’s de-notification spree (of BDA acquired land) previously, as the others were kept in the dark, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: They are now ready with a list of plots that they want to get de-notified by the benevolent Yeddy, as soon as he is back in the CM’s chair, dad!
Father: I don’t know, son!
