1. Narendra Modi's Second Innings.
Narendra Modi's second innings as India's 14th Prime Minister begins this evening when he and
his cabinet colleagues take their oaths of office at Rashtrapathi Bhavan, this evening at 1930 hrs.
After a long and often, acrimonious electoral battle, he has made a comeback with a mammoth
majority. I'm an ardent supporter of his because he's hardworking and has done a lot of good for
the country during his previous tenure as PM. He begins his new innings with the modified slogan
of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas'. I wish him well and want him to succeed so that
India becomes prosperous, poverty is eliminated and the country makes a steady progress towards
becoming a superpower.
A few course corrections would be required and spectacular, systemic changes need to be
implemented! The rot that has plagued this country, since independence, needs to be eliminated
and swift, timely actions are the need of the hour.
The PN Panicker Foundation has a tryst with him on 19 Jun when the curtains go up on the 28th
Reading Day-Reading Month celebrations to commemorate the 28th Remembrance day of the
legendary PN Panicker.
2. Where-o-where Is the Acerbic Sidhu?
Till recently, I used to like this chap for his ready wit and well timed, appropriate 'sher shaayaris'
but was disappointed with him over his performance during electioneering. Once an ardent
supporter of Narendra Modi, he has now become his trenchant critic, joined the Congress on the
rebound and offered himself for election rallies. Here's where a sportsman like him displayed
an utter lack of sportsman like spirit in his utterances. He continued with the 'chowkidar chor
hai' slogan despite the Supreme Court admonishing and getting an apology from Rahul Gandhi
as he was twisting the court's decision on the issue. He, also, shouted from the roof tops that he'd
end his political career if Rahul Gandhi was defeated in Amethi.
Now that Smriti Irani has done it, why doesn't he stick to his promise? Instead, he has gone
underground ever since the results were out and today, I saw him offering his valuable(?) opinion
on the forthcoming Cricket World Cup. So, he's quietly exited the country, ashamed to meet the
media - which will, definitely, ask him awkward questions over his foolish bravado and shameless
utterances.
He wants to get into a political party where he would get instant power, fame and limelight!
3. Remembering Mamata Banerjee's Promise.
The West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had said, during the election campaign, that
she'd commit suicide if Narendra Modi gets back to power. Wonder what she has to say now over
that idiotic utterance in the aftermath of the election results? And she must be jolted by the exodus
of her party followers into the BJP.
Never make unnecessary statements, Didi, about which you'll have to repent later!
4. And Not to Forget Robert Vadra.
Robert Vadra used to wonder aloud as to why Modi had not been able to put him behind bars
till now, implying that he was squeaky clean. That he was on bail, followed by bail was another
matter and consequently, the law couldn't get around him. Sensing that his game is up, he now
pleads in court that he has a tumour in his intestine and therefore, be permitted to go abroad for
treatment.
Where has the bluster and the arrogance gone, Vadra?
Tailpiece.
Got up on the dot, went through the chores and were ready well in time. Annie was absent because she has landed up with a sprain on her hips and Lekha had asked her to get treated and come in only after she got rid of her discomfort! It was a quiet day. Bijeesh came by and has sorted out all the small, yet important, plumbing and electric problems.
The pre-monsoon showers have been active, during the nights, over the last three days. It's a welcome change!
My nephew, Achu, gave us news to cheer. He's picked up a job with Tata Tea, based at Munnar and will be taking it up on 01 Aug after completing his present assignment. Actually, he loved his present work but loathed Perundurai, its location!
