Neta Ji - Fallen in Bad Times

Reflecting upon the developments shaping up since past few days, our irrepressible Neta brethren have seems to run  into some trouble. Especially those,  who have graduated into politics from the world of crime. When they are into crime , police is behind - trying catching them, while in politics they are both behind and front - saluting. But lately, there is a twist in the tale.

- A Criminal Court has issued arrest warrant  in a case of mass murder against Sibu Soren, Cabinet Minister Coal , Union of India.
Jharkhand police has sought a request  to the Speaker for arresting him.

- Mayawati, ex-Chief Minister, Uttar Pradesh is fearing eminent arrest in Taj corridor case. She is in the process of declaring her successor in case she is jailed.

- Supreme Court and Patna High court has ordered police to re-send  Pappu Yadav, gangster cum Lok Janshakti Party MP and Mohammed Shahabuddin , gangster cum RJD MP from Siwan into jail. These not-so-gentlemen had been roaming free on the pretext of illness. SurajBhan, another dreaded gangster cum MP who was out on same pretext  is absconding. Court has ordered police to re-arrest him.

They all are supposed to be in hospital, if not in jail. However, some of them are attending Lok Sabha.  Pappu Yadav gives the example of Biscuit King, Rajan Pillai who died in the custody due to liver cirrhosis soon after the court had ordered his arrest. Supreme Court observed that Pappu Yadav will be more fit in jail as he will lose his obesity with jail ka khana and work. I have my doubts.

Today, jails are not like those bad old jails.  They are next only to 3 Star hotels. One can play badminton and tennis over there. Mobiles, coolers, beds - almost all the luxuries are provided. Food is imported from outside. One can throw birthday parties. What to say more, Rajan Tiwari, a MLA from Bihar sired a son when he was in jail. Can you believe it? You have no better choice.

Our Rail Mantri, Laloo, once, had shifted to a hospital,  turned the hospital campus into a jail and stayed there for three months. "Kyunki jail mein bahut khatmalwa hain."

Neta Log has been seeing all this as a big conspiracy. But they had been with all this many a times before. Seasoned as they are, they are also aware that such times don't last long.  I am ending  the post with these fitting lines on them.

Satya,  Ahinsa aur  Dharm se,   Khoob Humara Nata Hai
Diwaron per Likh  Detey Hain, Diwali per Put Jata Hai!
