Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

ABC has spoken !



 Arrogant  Brahmin  of  Congress  ( ABC ) says,


"  You cannot be a PM

   Tea Vendor of India !



   You are destined to die a tea vendor

   And breed some more tea vendors

   Live in slums,

   You

   Who are a mere tea vendor

   Vegetable vendor

   Newspaper vendor

   Delivery boy

   Roadside cobbler

   Sweeper of the street

   Maid servant to my wife

   Ayah of my children ,



   You cannot be a PM  !



   You must continue to live

   In abject poverty

   And learn to survive

  On Rs 27 per day ( what we have fixed fairly ! )

  Drink 2 cups of tea

  And eat 2 slices of bread,

  Till you die of starvation

  Or choose to commit suicide

  (  Choice is yours  !  )



   But you cannot be a PM  !



   You may continue to die of dengue

   Or of malaria or TB

   Or a disease of your choice

   You,

   Who are a mere

   Dalit

   Backward Class

   Scheduled caste

   Manual Scavenger

   Harijan  ,  Bhangi

   Searcher of food in piles of garbage :


 
   Go jump into gutters

   Or in polluted rivers

   Stop dreaming of clean air

   Or a glass of clean water

   Inhale the acrid smell of chemicals

   Till your lungs corrode  !

   Don't sleep if you cannot

   On our freezing footpaths,



   But do not dream

   Of becoming a PM  !



   You stupid fool ,

   Learn well your

   Gita , Bible , Koran

   And when we slap you

   with an insult ( " You cannot be a PM " )

   Turn your other cheek  !


   And silently wait

   For rest of this Century

   ( a mere 86 years  ! )

   As you have waited

   For the past 66 years



  Till then

  Keep toiling

  In the dark dungeons called Dharavi

  ( we have one in every city )

  Or under the scorching sun

  Of our parched fields



  And if you won't vote for us

  Who cares  ?


  You

  Who are a mere 400 million ,

  Who cares for you  !



  How dare you dream

  To be our PM  ?


  A post that

  We

  The sycophants

  Have reserved for our exalted leader

  For eternity to come  !
 

  Didn't you hear our leader say ,

  Congress is idea

  Not an institution,

  And poverty is a state of mind  ?



  So , stop imagining the unimaginable


  You cannot be our PM - ever  "




  The  ABC  has spoken

  At the AICC session ,

  Now it is your turn to speak


  Vendors of India  !
