POLITICAL   TWENTY  -  20

Recently I read an article, “Bull’s Eye”, written by Rajinder Puri in Outlook, May 6 – 12 issue. It was thoughtful and worth giving a trial. The author inspired me to post this blog.

The IPL Twenty – 20 is in full swing. Shah Ruk Khan, Vijay Malliya, Pretty Zinta, Anil Ambani and host of others have sponsored cricketers for their teams by spending crores of  Rupees. It would be much wiser in case they could build eight teams of politicians. Each team has twenty members. The huge sponsorship money will look after their personal needs. They won’t have to depend on percentage cut from development projects. As a result they will devote their full energy for development of nation.

The format of the game will be similar. It will be played in different venues in all parts of India on a league basis so that every team confronts every other. Each team will be given twenty minutes to explain their policy and practice. Entertainment element replete with Cheer Landers, Item Girls, Bands, Bugles, Radio and TV coverage, Advertisement are welcome…………..more the merrier. The result will be decided by the spectators by electronic ballot voting.

Each team (political party) will have the opportunity to face their adversary as well the spectators (voters) directly. They can plan their strategies carefully. The team with the most popular mandate can only win. The suggested name of eight premier teams are as under:

MulayMam Singh’s  : Bicle Bully

Mayawati’s               : Tough Tuskers

Bal Thackeray’s        : Mumbai Mailer

Karunanidhi’s          : Chennai Cheetahs

Laloo Yadav’s          : Bihari Bulls

Prakash Karat’s             : Pink Panthers

Adwani’s                   : Temple Towers

Manmohan Singh’s  : Delhi Delight

P.S.    The last two names are coined by me.

HEY  FRIENDS………………….LET’S CHEER FOR THE LEAST CORRUPT TWENTY.
