Election Commission thinks Narendra Modi is trying to
bribe the voters
By offering to voters , a FREE cup of tea at Namo Chai Stalls
Obviously , a serious breach of Model Code of Conduct !
So , EC has asked BJP to stop this " Unfair "
practice , right away
But the Geek Brigade of NaMo knows clever ways of
bypassing EC strictures by pseudo-compliance with the code !
By charging Re 1 / - for the first cup
Then offering unlimited free Re-Fills !
Just bring the original polystyrene cup with NaMo face
printed on it !
No more breaking Code of Conduct !
After all , aren't BJP " hiring " a Falcon
Jet plane from a leading business house at just Rs 1,000 per hour , whereas ,
going market rate is Rs 3 lakh per hour !
What with this EC guys asking " hisaab " for
every little thing !
I never knew that the 814 million Indian Voters are so
deeply mired in poverty that they can be easily " bribed " with a
single cup of tea !
May be it is high time our Planning Commission revised
downward , its definition of poverty from Rs 27 per day ( Urban ) and Rs 16 per
day ( Rural )
EC could have done better by insisting that NaMo Chai
Stalls use earthen tea cups instead of polystyrene cups
That will save our environment and provide jobs to the
community engaged in making earthen pots and pans
Unless , of course , someone's son put up a factory to
make millions of polystyrene cups , in anticipation of the forthcoming
elections !
