Indian Political League - What a Tamasha

Been meaning to start a blog from a long time. Finally I decided to share few words. Recently I was watching an IPL Match between RCB(Bangalore) & DDD(Delhi). I was very happy to see our gr8 political leaders blessing the stadium & people with their presence. Mr Bcci Chief cum Agriculture minister(Baigan Raja) was in full glare showing all this missing tooth. Madam Opposition(Bhendi Maa) leader graced this occasion with full aplomb. Mr IPL commissioner ,the new highest tax payer of India had applied fevicol I think and didnt budge from his place. The bollywood stars were present for the reasons best known to everybody -money,fame,glamour etc. etc. And thousands of people to cheer the teams. Also who can forget the cheer leaders dancing ,smiling, cheering the audience no sorry teams!!!. It was such a wonderful sight. After some overs I took a strategic break without any plan and went to buy some vegetables after a long time. I randomly picked up the vegetables and then when I saw the bill it was a shocker. The price of each and every vegetable has shot up atleast 5 times more than a couple of years back. I was disgusted to see this. I being an IT professional with a handsome salary can feel the pinch so much , just imagine the plight people slogging in day & night earning few bucks. My mood was totally off after this. I was thinking Where are we heading towards. I am in Bangalore,the silicon city of India & previously known as heaven for retired people. Do any one have guts now to tell the same, I doubt. I came back to home then started watching the match again. Again the cameras rolled on to our gr8 Indian Political Leaders. But this time I felt ,what is agriculture minister is doing here in the IPL match. Is he meant for this, to watch the game, to watch the cheer leaders, to watch the bollywood stars. Why is opposition leader so happy with the Baigan Raja. Is she not meant to be a watch dog of the goverment. The prices have shot up to the roof destroying the ceiling and countless people apetite. The 4 hours excluding the travel time to the stadium spent by the Baigan Raja in the stadium could have been better utilized had it been spent in the ministry. I as a tax payer of India deserve better things, better life. I am being sucked by union govt, state givt. day in and day out in terms of tax tax tax... where is it going , what is happening. No idea. Are farmers becoming rich because of the price increase , I dnt think so. I can just go on and on with this. But I dont have time , the luxury of the ministers to watch IPL from the front seat in full glare of cameras. I have to strive hard for my livelyhood, survival. People like Baigan Raja & Bhendi Maa are very shameless, thick skinned ,out of the world people. If they cant understand the ethics or atleast show some solidarity with the public they are not meant to be in the position they belong to. Words just fail to express my disgustness & hopelessness. I have to head towards my home now & tackle all the potholes , abandoned cows , irregulated trucks , corrupt traffic cops , traffic jams and lot of other unpleasant things. I will end the blog with this.
