Rahul Gandhi, Please Shut Up!

Come on now, Shut Up!

Now that, my dear friend and an All Padded Up co-blogger, Sushil has gotten into his rantings on politics, I thought it was the right time for me to get back to my politically screwed opinions.

And my heartfelt opinion is that Rahul Gandhi should shut up. In response to Shiv Sena's verbal attack on north Indians, Rahul Gandhi went on record saying that it was the North Indians, as a part of NSG, which saved Mumbai during the 26/11 Mumbai siege.

Now, Mr. Gandhi, I don't think you have lived much in India, let alone Mumbai to be commenting on what North of India, or South of India, or any damn part of India has done or does. So, please shut up.

Even, the Senas of Mumbai know that Armed forces and NSG's should be kept out of regionalism and chauvinism of this kind. Hell, even I understand and know that. It is a shame that you, coming from a political dynasty, can not understand this. Keep the armed forces out of this sham of regionalism, or the country will suffer. And as a part of this great country called India and beautiful city of Mumbai, I do not wish to suffer because of a "Youth Leader from Congress" who can not understand such simple facts.

Well, that is really my point actually. If you can not understand than why speak. Simply shut up! I know I am putting this up on the day of your visit to Mumbai, and you are right now some few buildings away from where I am posting this. I wish I could say it to you on your face, but then the security concerns!

Cabinet Whispers!

Alright, this may go on in a series of posts, depending on what may get reported when!

As reported earlier, the Congress+ have emerged as leaders in the elections for the 15th Lok Sabha, and it is time for Dr. Manmohan Singh to form the new Cabinet!

One of the major issues with Coalition Politics, as you may know, is the fact that Cabinet Ministerial positions are up for leverage. The higher the percentage of your party MLA's in the coalition, the higher and better are the portfolios for your party. This goes without saying!

INC, by far is the strongest party of the coalition this time, so it is obvious, it will have the maximum say.

And saying it is!

Dr. Manmohan Singh, it has been rumored, wants Montek Singh Ahluwaalia heading the Finance Portfolio in the Cabinet this time. It should be considered that Dr. Singh's faith in Montek Singh goes back a long way!

Young Congress Leaders like Sachin Pilot, Priya Dutt may get to be a part of the cabinet and get portfolios as well, it has been rumored. May be the work of their respective fathers have been good enough for them and their party!

On the other hand, Trinamool Congress chief, Mamta Banerjee has shunned the Railway Portfolio and has demanded the Rural Agriculture one! Seems like Singur and Nandigram haven't been enough!

Also, it has been rumored, that Rahul Gandhi will be a part of the Cabinet, without a portfolio! Is this a way to shirk responsibility or just another way to walk in mama's footsteps?!

Dr. Singh has his task cut out and so do we, of keep an eagle's eye on his Cabinet!
