Kitne Aadmi bache? Bas ek, Sardar

Kitne Aadmi the? Teen, Sardar. Par ab ek hi bacha hai. Breaking News on TV says S. Jaipal Reddy is gone. Natwar went last week. Shivraj Patil is lonely now, the one from my list of three still holding on to the job.
Reddy, a member of the former socialist brigade who swam up floating on anti-Congress planks, hopped on to the Congress boat and beat old Congressis in the game of kissing the ground their leader didn't even walk on. And S. Jaipal Ever-Ready was made a minister for information and broadcasting. The information industry is one of the fastest growing sectors and is called the industry of the future. But with Jaipal at the helm, ahem, its wheels got stuck.
We hope Priya Ranjan Das Munshi, the new man in, manages to catch up on the lost time.
