. INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN..233
Dr K Prabhakar Rao


(Gandhi, Nehru and patel are near Delhi air port gate and they are watching people.)

Gandhi. This is interesting to watch guys getting into air port.

Patel. Bapu. Times have changed now. In our times air travel was very difficult and ordinary people could not afford it. Now all sundry characters travel by air. Things have greatly changed.

Gandhi. I agree. Now all types of guys are in politics. There are many criminals too in politics. Many are occupying ministerial positions although they are facing court trials. Laloo Prasad is one among them,there are many like him .Recent scams reveal how these shady men have cheated people of this country posing as great patriots.

( They come across a group of white clad men and they appear to be leaders from south India.)

Gandhi. Who are these guys??. They are so many almost plane load. Where they are going?.

Patel. Bapu. There is no dearth for such guys in India. Most of the times these tricks of visiting Delhi are played. Lot of public and private money is wasted in plane travels.

( They find the leaders shouting Jai Telangana..Jai Jai Telangana)

Gandhi. Oh. These are AP leaders.

Patel. Bapu. These guys came to Delhi yesterday. I read in news papers. They came to discuss with high command about Telangana crisis. Bapu. You know many MLA and MP from AP have resigned. A great drama is being played.

Gandhi. They are meant for Tamasha only. What was the outcome Patel?

Patel. Bapu. It is a big zero. They were scrubbed off by central leaders. They said that they were not bothered about their resignations.

Gnadhi. Now what they will do?

Patel. Each one of them has a thumb. They will start sucking the thumbs. Ha, ,Haa..Hee..hee

Gandhi. These guys think that centre is scared by the resignations. They will accept these coolly and the guys will be in trouble. They will not get party tickets next time. They will be rubbed down. this is done keep watching. All these men will go to amma crawling on knees to seek pardon and fall at her feet.

Patel. Sure. Then these guys will say , we have withdrawn resignations as center has promised to start the process. They will try to save their faces some how. There are many ministers among them, They are the greatest loosers.

Gandhi. These guys have no clear idea. Ha..haa..haa

Patel. True Bapu. You said correctly. The congress ministers can not be trusted as center would use the ticket card and thee guys are very sure that they will not win elections on their own. Most of such guys are like parasites and can not live on their own.Keep looking .All these guys will back track singing Amma Bhajan and rahul Bhajan. Otherwise there is no future for them. If they join they will become laughing stock. Already they have become like that.o..hoo..hooo..hee..hee

Nehru. You guys have nothing except to go after the congress party. Have you appreciated them atleast once in your life time?

Patel.You know very well that there is nothing to appreciate. They have not done anything worthy to be appreciated. There lies the matter( sings doing jig)

Look at the rulers with clear brain
You know well that they are of no use
They were busy in covering up scams all the while
Soon they have to thrown into bin of refuse

Jawaharlal, Let me know one good deed atleast
Where I can sing their praise in full throat
Their history is full of shady deals from days of partition
Soon they are sure to sink their boats in the moat

Gandhi ( Claps) Hear, Hera.. Great Patel. Iam proud of you.

Nehru. Bapu. You alos belonged to congess party.

Gandhi. The present party is not mine .It died long ago along with Nijalingappa and Desai.

Nehru. You are unfair Bapu.

Gandhi. I was unfair to Patel in 1947. I made you PM sacrificing him. I did the greatest blunder of my life.

Patel. Thanks , Bapu, I am happy you have realized now atleast.

(In the mean time the plane takes off for Hyderabad with the leaders.)

Gandhi. Patel. Now Tamasha will start at Hyderabad after 2 hrs.

Patel. Bapu. . Politics is great Tamasha. ( sings)

Politics is a great drama indeed
Where all the nuts are the players
People are kept amused like watching monkeys
While all are mere brayers

Gandhi. Patel. That was nice and appropriate. ( sings)

Democracy has become a joke in India
Where all are doing devils dance
The nation is thoroughly screwed
While you and me are in trance

Patel. Bapu. It is time now. We have to go to Hyderabad to watch the Tamasha

Gandhi. True. Let us go.

(The trio walks away while all look curiously at them singing Ramdhun.
