Yeda Ghoda - Bumbling Son of a Farmer !!!!!

Well politicians just don't improve do they.

Talking of politicians, just a week after my post, Pakya bhai made an emotional outburst against American imperialism and Chinese idealism. On the brighter side, the news is that there's been some progress on the nuclear deal. The communists have given a green flicker to the deal, perhaps to let the Congress take the heat off their atrocities at Nandigram.

Another politician who has taken over the role of staying in the news for the wrong reasons in the past few months is the power hungry, Kursi obsessed, greedy to the hilt, nepotism personified, back stabbing, ex-Indian PM Mr. Yeda Gowda.

His chief claim to fame has been his brief stint as the compromise candidate for the post of Prime Minister, a period in history that would always remain a major embarrassment to the rest of his countrymen. He was often found napping at important Parliamentary sessions or meetings and had a farmer's foot-in-mouth disease a lot worse than the one troubling Prez Bush.

Since his fall from grace, Yeda Gowda has been busy dabbling in state politics and has managed to mismanage the state of Karnataka with the help of his family. Relegating him to his regional fiefdom has been India's gain, Karnataka's loss. Yeda claims to be the humble son of a farmer but there has been nothing humble about his life as a politician. "Kursi grabbing" and "Backstabbing" are an art form that comes naturally to the jobless ex-PM. I guess politicians just cannot retire. As an ex-PM, he has already achieved the pinnacle of his profession, what more does he want? He should retire peacefully to a farmhouse in his village in Karnataka.

Anyways to the uninitiated, here's a recap of the events, Yeda Gowda got the least amount of votes in the last state election, & decided to align with Congress to form the government. 2 years later he pulled the rug from under their feet and made a devil's pact with the BJP. The understanding was that his son (Kum Kum Swamy - nepotism and family reign supreme) would be the CM for a 1.5 yrs followed by BJP rule for the rest of the term. But when the time came to transfer power to the BJP, Yeda changed his mind, glued his son to the CM's Kursi and imposed a million pre-conditions. Later, when BJP came to power, in a bizarre flip flop, within 7 days he audaciously withdrew his support. Now that elections are inevitable, this greedy bumbling wily son of a farmer is in Delhi begging the Congress to help him form a government.

I am sure he believes in the adage, if there is a back to be stabbed; stab it, twist the knife, sit back and enjoy the show. He reminds me of one of those scheming villains from a bygone era in Bollywood, somewhat like the characters played by Jeevan or Prem Chopra.

I suggest we all contribute a paisa each and send the greedy PM and his power crazy sons to an ice berg in frigid Antartica. They can rule the land for as long as it exists. Of course with the level of global warming currently, hopefully that wont be too long. :p
