They join the Congress, and next they are calling Sonia Gandhi the Mother of India.

How would you react if the known womanizers of the film industry start discovering motherhood in the person of the Congress president?

They are not content to term her as their new mother. They wish to foist her on all of us. They seem to prefer an Italian bosom over Deshi  ones for their nice smelling motherly cuddles.

'Sab Ki Maa Soniaji' is what the rolly poly Bhappi Lahiri had to say after joining the Congress bandwagon. He was following into the footsteps of Shakti Kapoor who had openly declared Sonia as 'Mother India'. Very soon we will have Govinda terming Sonia as his mother. He had already done it while campaigning for the Congress earlier.

The original ( & filmi) Mother India killed her son to save the honour and tradition of her village. The present Mother India of Shakti Kapoor and Bhappi Lahiri and Govinda is busy preparing the grounds to launch the career of her son Rahul Gandhi*. Priyanka may be the darling of the Congressmen, but the mother prefers the son to take over the party. In the intervening years she has simply been keeping the seat warm for him. She did not allow Narsimha Rao to continue as she feared that the Nehru legacy may get extinct if non-Nehrus continued to rule the roost in the party. This Mother India of Congressmen cares more for her son than the rest of the sons and daughters of India. She did not take over the reigns of the Congress to save it. She did it for her family and to impose her non-descript womanish son on the party.

In spite of everything the BJP characters have done to prop up an inept Vajpayee as their mascot, they have not called him the father of the nation.

Why the Congressmen are like this? Why do they have to disown their actual parentage to be  loyal soldiers of the Nehru-Sonia Congress. They also have to jettison their intelligence and self respect in the Nehru Durbar. That is the most important key to success in the Congress set up.

Kumar Sanu also sang a song for Vajpayee after joining the BJP. He did not call Vajpayee his father. Vajpayee will certainly be embarrassed if someone termed him like this. None of the stars that joined the BJP bandwagon recently tried to strike a fatherly relationship with Vajpayee.

None in the Congress party were embarrassed when Shakti Kapoor, Bhappi Lahiri, and Govinda expressed their love for mother Sonia. It goes to show how demented and sycophantic Congressmen are? It is a matter of shame that such people continue to survive in Indian politics.
