Thought for food
Jaspal Bhatti
THE
Shiv Sena is considering organising a one-day vada pav sammelan
in Mumbai. It’s a great move not only to promote the food value of
the stuff, but also to establish a deeper bond with the Marathi Manoos
whose staple diet is vada pav. Those who cannot live without vada pav
may think of casting their votes to Shiv Sena out of their love for
the food. When this news reaches Lalu Prasad he may announce a samosa
festival in Bihar. Keema samosa, alloo samosa, paneer samosa,
and of course Lalu samosa would be the highlights of the jamboree.
Navjot Sidhu won’t sit
idle in Amritsar. "Let’s organise a Makki di roti and saag
festival," he would announce with one of his couplets from his
stock of Sidhu-brand poetry.
Sarson ka saag aur makki
ki roti hogi, BJP ki sarkar aur Congress ki chutti hogi.
In Chennai, Karunanidhi
and Jayalalithaa would sue each other as to whose party has got the
right to hold idli-sambhar festival to show their love for
their state.
Some political party workers approached me and asked how would I go
about impressing the voters if they gave me the party ticket from
Patiala. "I will organise a great Patiala peg party with the
slogan ‘pio aur jio’. They looked at each other and
disappeared.
