Commotion and Emotion with some Cleaning

Dear Nitish Babu,

I offer to you my humble salutations and greetings . Here I am , getting down from Patna railway junction and seeing much commotion and emotion due to thousands of Bihari brothers returning to homeland to participate in great yearly bathing festival  on banks of Mother Ganges.

However I am hearing my father-in-law  who is staunch supporter of your 'Jay Dee You' party is now  expressing solidarity with seventies’ disco group Boney M, which is very unusual for dhoti wearing, gamcha- toting mustachioed Maithili village headman. 

He is singing, “Sometimes , I feel like a motherless child, a long way from House.” I am asking what this means, and he is telling me, “If election comes tomorrow our party may lose all seats in House, so this Deepawali how to party?”

Father-in-law’s younger brother is astrologer who moonlights as railway crossing attendant.  Old and rusty signalling system is so much unreliable and train timings so unpredictable in Bihar that Divisional Manager of Railways has declared that only astrologers and soothsayers can become railway crossing attendants.

Nitish babu, I am getting flash of inspiration which hit me like bhoot jhalokia in vodka! 

The root of all this complication has to do with your O C D- obsessive cleaning disorder that has been flying around like ebola virus. 

First you start clean up drive against corrupt babus and such, then  you  are wanting  to take Narendra Modi to the cleaners, and when you are being cleaned out at Lok Sabha hustings, you are wanting to maintain clean image by committing hara-kiri like that Chinese girl in ‘Enter the Dragon’. Only Jiten Bhai is not Bruce Lee to avenge your disgrace. Poor man, he has bad case of potty mouth and your party members are so  busy wiping smelly stuff off the fan whenever Jiten Bhai is speaking to Bihari republic.

Now even Namo has snatched away broom from Kejriwal Bhaiya and is busy trying to make New Delhi resemble Patna during Chhat festival. 

Everybody is talking about Modi-fication of Central Park and Gandhi-fication of Modi with all his Swach Bharat turning into Swatch Bharat. Nitish Bhaiya, all politicians forget that Gandhiji did not use new broom to sweep already clean streets. 

I am reading that Gandhiji carried shit and cleaned  foul smelling open latrines.

This reminds me.

Nowadays us people in Bihar are getting whiff of stench which air freshener is not able to mask. Please try to use engineering skills to fix the plumbing soon. Little bird is telling me that people of Bihar ain’t gonna take shit for much longer.

With  much wishes for lighting lamps of truth and bathing in clean Ganga water,

yours truly,
