Biharis now have got agressive and who else could they target but the Governor instead, and during the ongoing Assembly ! Raj caught the commotion on televison and got pissted off (as usual) and dashed off a letter to the press refusing to sit quiet, yet again justifying how the state well treats its own karnataka born governor S M Krishna. Meanwhile my non -Maharashtrian friends and colleagues appear happy that Marathis will now have to bear the brunt.
Moreoever lower middle class marathis working in mantralaya and government offices are fearing for their relatives in places like bhopal, indore and even a remote asansol.
The action just refuses to die down!

Political khichdi
On Sunday prior to the Samajwadi rally, the United Front Progressive Alliance(UNPA), a group of ex-chief ministers gathered for press conference in one of the five stars hotels in Mumbai and announced to a group of already worked up journalists how they though the present coalition government in the country was a disaster and justified to the messengers how they can do a much better job.
The dias was a congregation of a group of senior citizens, Farooq Abdullah, Om Prakash Chautala, Chandrababu Naidu, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Amar Singh and Jaya Bachchan and starlet Jaya Prada---all having enjoyed power in their heydays and itching to get it back.
THE UNPA is nothing but a joke created by visionless old leaders fast on the decline in their careers. If leadership is all about leading one's ideologies to transformation of the vast majority of the deprived and underpriviledged, these men were a far cry from it. That Chandrababu Naidu, the polished and savvy politician who transformed the urban Telugu class to adapt IT into their daily lifestyle, should be sharing the dias with the likes of a Mulayam Singh Yadav or even an Abdullah, spoke volumes on how the agendas can be changed overnight.
Yet, the man should be applauded for having the guts to stands next to these uncouth leaders devoid of a national vision. What greater platform than for the lone Telugu to grab natinoal headlines in an era dominated by the policies of North Indians, Dalits and Muslims.
