It was a Freudian slip. Our netas consider people as cattle – the milich cow to be milked during polls and slaughtered thereafter. A fast learner, Shashi Tharoor understood the game right at the outset. Gandhi cap and Gandhian austerity is not his cup of tea. Champaign and sherry, whiskey and vodka keep the spirit of a diplomat high. And a politician can tighten anybody’s belt but his own. After all, the diplomat-turned-politician has fought and won the election with a convincing majority. It would be an irony if the nation has to spend a fortune to keep Shashi Tharoor poor.
If you're looking for trouble, then politics is the right place. As Shashi Tharoor has seen these past few days, his sense of humour is not in the same level as that of the country or of his party. In politics, absurdity is not a handicap. Absurdity gets a new meaning when certain politicians spend crores of rupees on statues of themselves and elephants. India is a land of faulty subsidies and useless politicians who extend sops and rice for One rupee a kilo, That's governmental economics. It's unfortunate that people like Narayanamoorthy, Amartya Sen and Madhavan Nair are not MPs. Presumably because of the axiom, I think, therefore I am not a MP.
A TONGUE OF THE SLIP!
