Mid May election results gave the incumbent Congress led UPA a comfortable majority. Post parliamentary election results the Indian Share markets soar by more than 50 percent. But this economic rise hasn’t benefitted every section of the society. No we are not talking again about rural farmers or urban poor. The latest concern is aboutdecreasing demand for smaller party MP’s who used to earn a lot and”bite more than they can chew” because of minority central governments formed for the past two decades.

So these small party / Third front leaders decided to demonstrate outside the Parliament demanding bail-out for them. Some of them like JD(S) Deve Gowda from Karnataka and SP Amar Singh from UP were most vocal.

Deve Gowda, a senior southern politician, said, “Before election results came, Congress leaders like S.M. Krishna were in constant touch with me. They even promised mining industry ministry to us; so that we can jointly take on mighty Reddy brother’s of Bellary BJP.” Upon hearing the word “Mining”, Gowda’s son Kumaraswamy started weeping “Mine is mine, Mine is mine”. Pointing to Kumarawamy, Gowda asked reporters, “Now tell me, who will console him”.

The story in northern gangetic plains is not much different. Amar Singh, the spokesperson for Hindi heartland also complained his party was humiliated. He said, “When the last UPA government was in trouble getting support for Indo-US deal remember how much trust / cash we(Samajwadi Party) earned from ruling Congress party. We were able to extort so much cash, we can even buy handful of BJP MP’s. You remember the great scene in our parliament when some stupid BJP MP’s poured money on parliament floor. I think those golden moments of Indian democracy are gone for ever. He also added, “Now, Myself and Mulayam don’t know how much returns this investment will give us” - pointing to the 20 plus Samajwadi MP’s sitting like sheep’s at a corner.

BSP parliamentary leader, Akil Mishra also agreed with Amar Singh. Possibly this is the only issue rivals SP and BSP agrees. Akil added, “We too earned trust / cash of congress high command during election of Prathiba Pateel as president. Now see we are standing like beggars in front of parliament”. The mood of other leaders from gangetic plains like Lalu and Paswan were quite similar - humbled / humiliated, but they maintained low profile.

Again all attention turned to Gowda father / Son duo as Kumaraswamy started crying out at top of his voice, shouting “Papa, Mine is mine,Mine is mine; you told me so”. When some junior Congress MP’s from Karnataka walked down to console crying Kumaraswamy, Deve Gowda shouted at them, “You Congress people talk all about inclusive growth and priding yourselves as ‘Aam Admi Ka Sarkar(Government of common people)’. But see what your party has done to my family”.

We, reporters have witnessed so many heart-breaking scenes - Gujarat earth quake, Tsunami victims, Bihar Floods etc., but by far this is the most disturbing of all. We pray to God and appeal to PM and Finance minister to provide some relief for this MP’s in distress.

Lucknow: Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh said in a press conference that if incase Sanjay Dutt can’t contest because of legal issues and Manyata too not willing to contest, SP may field Dawood Ibrahim in Lucknow constituency.

Sanjay Dutt, the controversial Bollywood actor is from Actor-turned-Politicians family. His father Sunil Dutt, mother Nargis Dutt and sister Priya Dutt were Congress MP’s. Though hailing from a political family and bollywood fame behind him Sanjay Dutt can’t make to big politics because of his conviction in 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case in which more than 200 people died. But SP famous for fielding bollywood big names in elections decided to give him a break.

However Sanjay Dutt declined the offer as he was aware of legal issues that can can stop SP from fielding him as its candidate. Then Amar tried to announce “if Sanjay Dutt won’t contest then his wife Manyata will”. But Dutt family refused to field Manyata.

Desperately in need of a controversial star candidate, Amar Singh announced, “All we are looking for is a controversial high profile candidate with bollywood connection. So we went for Sanjay Dutt - convicted in controversial Mumbai case and a well known bollywood actor. It doesn’t work. So we have no other choice other than Dawood Ibrahim. He is better than Sanjay Dutt in all aspects. While Sanjay is just one of the accused, Dawood Ibrahim is the main accused and he has more connection to bollywood than Sanjay.” He also appealed to Congress, “Support our move or else we will withdraw our support to your union government for not taking enough actions against Pakistan post 26 th November 2008 Mumbai Massacre.”

Dawood Ibrahim, the dreaded don residing in Karachi for past 15 years as Pakistan’s state guest declined to comment on this as he was officially not in Pakistan.
