“Why don’t you step down Mr. Akhilesh Yadav?”

‘Papa Kehte hai bada naam karega- Beta humara aisa kaam karega!’ And the beta says, “What Else Can I do?”

“Why don’t you step down and let the central government decide, if you do not know what to do- how to control the burgeoning crime, Mr. Akhilesh Yadav?” The public demands.

“I have done my best to control crime. People are just not seeing what is happening in other states and are after my life. They are maligning my state,” The Chief Minister of the State, with largest number of Lok Sabha seats, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal laments and wails like a three year old.

Any deaf or dumb can see and feel what is happening in Uttar Pradesh but the 40 year C.M. is comfortable in his skin and tightly glued to his chair. The Samajwadi Party’s chairman and his father, Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav, however, has a different story to tell. “Ladko se jawani mei galti ho jaati hai jee.” The father’s intellect who has been thrice the C.M. of the Pradesh is commendable and doubly superior to his son. Bhai after all he’s the father! His brain has to be better! Oh! I see he means to say, ‘Men will be men!’ So, Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav seems to be watching either the T.V. advertisements too much or indulging in ‘Seagrams’! On a second thought, I wonder, how many galtis has he done in his jawani days that he understands this phenomenon so well? Any answers?

The Badaun case has moved the heart of all- literate or illiterate, but Mr Akhilesh Yadav seems to perceive it as nothing but a case being politicized by his opposition. After Badaun, Etah comes in news, then Moradabad and after that Aligarh and Gonda. What for? For teenage girls and women being raped and hanged by a tree or thrown on the roads. My heart cries and seeks an answer. How can the criminals get so very powerful and fearless? Look at their audacity- their himmat! They rape, they kill and then they hang the bodies from a tree! What is the psyche behind this cruel deed? This that the Government can’t chain them? And Mr, Minister asks us, after all what can he do? He is helpless; he is a chota bachha– Papa’s bachha and the opposition and the public is uselessly making a game out of it. Tch! Tch!

Further Mr. Akhilesh Yadav is supported by ministers who have brains even superior than Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav’s! One such is Mr. Naresh Agarwal. He says that even animals can’t be dragged away to any place without consent then how could anyone drag these girls and rape! So? What does he mean? Oh! That his woman folks are animals? No? Okay, why not? He has made a general comment and he must be having a woman at home? Or he is prasad of Sun God or any other Gods like the Pandava? No. This doesn’t sound well. He has compared the women to animals then he should be compared to Kauravas and not Pandavas. And the character of Kauravas is not hidden from anyone. They gambled, they cheated, they indulged in rapes and always blamed it on the ladies- that they attracted them!

My soul bleeds and is in a conflict with my mind- how insensitive these politicians are and how callously they make indecent remarks on the victims. Two girls are raped, murdered and hanged from a tree. And these leaders suggest the heinous incident to be consensual! They say punishment will be given only after finding who exactly the culprit was! Now what should we do- are we left with any option than bang our heads on wall and let it bleed…! I wonder what will happen to these netas who have ‘beastly mindset.’

I remember long back on Facebook, there was a comment posted against Mulayam Singh when he had opened his uncompassionate mouth callously, ‘what if the boys of the State do jawani’s galti to your bahu (who is incidentally elected for the Lok Sabha from Kannauj)? Will you opine in the same way Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav as you opine in the other cases of rape?’ I waited for a reply from their side which never came. People’s anger was erupting but the politicians were busy in their indulgences.

The most hilarious situation is this that Akhilesh Yadav starts wailing, cribbing and crying if someone points out to him about the law and order situation of his state. ‘It happens everywhere. What is so new? Why you people are always after my State?’ Looks as if a small boy is fighting with his neighbours over some lost issue!

I have stayed eight long years in Uttar Pradesh. The law and order situation was always a fearful issue but had not been like what it is today! Today it is calamitous! More so the Uttar Pradesh’s Samajwadi Party leaders have become heartless! They were always illiterate (with degrees) this I knew but they are extremely callous, heartless and insensitive, this I have come to know after the recent happenings. Whenever they open their mouths, they

let us know about their diseased mentality. I would advise Mr. Yadav to crib on a topic, ‘Oh Media! Why are you always interviewing me? Interview others!’

And Media please do some reham on us- don’t ask any sensitive questions to these ‘beastly mindset’ politicians as whenever they’ll open their mouths, they’ll only bark or bite! They are diseased and they stink!
