Rahul Gandhi is going back to the US on August 22, back to his ailing mother. Priyanka Gandhi will be back in India on August 23. Which means that from now on, one or the other Gandhi will be present in Delhi. It is being hoped that Sonia is better and that she will be back in India by August 30.

Totu Bose is a big businessman in Kolkata and is among those considered to be close to Mamata didi. It was Mamata who got him into the Rajya Sabha. This time, she has obliged Totu’s son, who will become a Rajya Sabha member on the 20th. During the last Parliament session, Totu approached the speaker and said that since his son was twice his size, a bigger seat should be allotted to him. A surprised speaker had to tell Totu that all the seats in the house were of the same house, and even if we wants, he can’t allot two seats to his son. The middle path was arrived at by Parliamentary State Minister Rajiv Shukla who assured the father that the nearby seat will be allotted to a slim minister. Only then did it look like the matter was solved.

Differing from the party line, the stand saffron leader Varun Gandhi is taking on Anna is making him all the more popular among the youth. His tweets on Twitter are also getting a big response and his party is also being forced to give stance more strength. It is worth mentioning that Varun had offered Anna his own residence to observe the fast, and later even attempted to place the Lokpal bill in the Parliament in his personal capacity. He even went to Rajghat to support Anna. Political speculation is rife that it is time to anoint Rahul Gandhi as the next prime minister and at such a time, the purpose of Varun’s political activity can be easily understood.

Arun Jaitely is going through a stroke of good luck nowadays. His speech in the Rajya Sabha became the talk of the media, and it looks like an old desire of his might just be met with. Jaitely has always believed that to appoint judges, India should have a National Judicial Commission. This work is currently done by Collegiums of Judges. Now the government looks ready to have a Judicial Commission.

After Manish Tiwari, are Sanjay Nirupam and Rashid Alvi next? Both of them also speak more than they should, at times. And let’s not even get started on their English. So Sanjay Nirupam, without blinking, said to a TV channel, “Anna was a zero, Anna is a hero.” The anchor promptly asked if that was the view most Congress people had to Anna and Nirupam was seen sitting there, not knowing what to say.

On one hand, Ahmed Patel is like the de factor president of the Congress and is giving instructions to the government, but since he’s is on rozas these days – and Patel is one who does the namaz five times a day – most of his time is being spent on praying to Khuda. As a result, only the time that is leftover is being given to the government and the party. Most of the times his mobile is on switch off mode and he doesn’t even reply to incoming text messages.

Manish Tiwari was briefed by Janardan Dwivedi and Digvijay Singh and gave reference to Justice Sawant’s report that there were questions being raised on Anna’s integrity. But in his excitement, Tiwari was quoted as saying Anna was corrupt from head to foot. From thereon started the fall of the Congress.

Now this lawyer trio is putting all the blame on the Delhi Commissioner of Police. They are of the opinion that the gullible DCP V K Gupta bought what Arvind Kejriwal said. It is worth mentioning that it was on Kejriwal’s behest that Gupta agreed to go to J P Park. But even Delhi Police hadn’t prepared itself of the kind of crowd that was gathering at the ground since August 15 itself.

Differences in the Congress have cropped up on the Anna issue. Leave a few lawyer Congressmen aside, otherwise most Congressmen are of the opinion that the governance mechanism has made a mistake with the Anna issue. The CCPA (this five-member committee includes the prime minister, Pranab Mukherjee, Chidambaram, Kapil Sibal and Salman Khurshid) overruled the common sentiment of the Congressmen and put Anna in jail, which fanned the fire among the public. Other party members were of the view that Anna should either be kept at a guest house or sent back to his village Ralegerh by air. But Chidambaram, Khurshid and Sibal were in favour of strict action and the silence of the prime minister and Pranab Mukherjee made them do what they wanted to. The lawyer lobby of the party won and the Congress lost.

The moral strength and awesome willpower of a 74-year old man has brought back memories of Bapu. He has placed the blazing sun on the side of the Indians who have been sleeping unmindful of everything through the black night. This sun has lit up the entire nation with a new light and all lighted paths are shining for the angel. This is the time when every grain of earth is throbbing like a mother’s heart. Salam to this new-found Anna-isation of a whole new India. The ruling parties are stunned into silence, since the then-silent India has found a new voice. At such a time, an editor of a big English daily in Delhi tells why he isn’t Anna. This editor believes that “This is just a protest against something, it isn’t a revolution. This just reeks of middle-class hypocrisy.” But it has only angered the owners a little more, since they have been given the special treatment by the government and the Congress and they have free access to the Rajya Sabha. Apart from the newspaper owners, there are several businessmen, too. For instance, one of them owns a big chemical factory, which produces a special chemical to refine opium. This chemical is controlled by the government. So, the moment chemical-laden trucks leave the factories, they frequently meet with accidents and the chemical can be sold openly in the market, but not the public’s feelings. Don’t let anyone influence you. Every Indian has an Anna living within her and you should let him breathe so that our democracy survives, too.
