The Aap Jokery- New Trends In Indian Politics Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

The Aap Jokery- New Trends In Indian Politics



He had not to be a leader,
Now calls he himself a common man
In the election fray
From the Common Man Party.

Had no quality,
Now calling himself a foil to a bigwig,
A political heavyweight
With his dramaturgy.

His dramatics
People know it not,
Wearing the white topi
With the bill or the grafitti,
A common doing uncommon politics
Of coming into power.

The AAP jokers are but a foil
To the bigwigs and heavyweights,
An anti-establishment drive
Of underestimating those
Who forgetting the ground roots
Overestimate themselves.

To do cheaper politics,
To push and rub, jostle and make them stumble
And fall upon,
To pose and show
The tactics of the AAP men.

For to be popular,
They may others to throw ink,
Drag by collar
As for not keeping up promises,
Which is but all dramatics.

Just for to be famous,
They sit and mingle woth common public
As they too are so,
A motley of nameless people and identities,
The unknown faces.

None but they themselves arrange for the drama,
Askign the supporter to work as a catalyst
By throwing ink on the leader,
Catching by and throwing the cap,
Tearing the shirt
And he getting photographed
By the chilly and spiced story-searching
Indian media men.

Oh, the strategy of coming to light,
The media limelight,
The story of getting fame,
Doing the politics of becoming famous and known,
None but their men are doing it!
