Quatrain XVIII -- THE BANIAS GO BACK TO PEOPLE*

The gloss is long gone

‘India Shining’, was BJP’s greatest con

Once doggy-bag bearers to the Ambanis and peer

Rajnath now returns to the ‘poor’, lost beneath the slick veneer

* Mr. Singh spelt out four priorities; keeping the party's image clean, expanding its base, strengthening the National Democratic Alliance and "struggling" on the streets to expose the "anti-people policies of the United Progressive Alliance." He wanted the party "to always honour Mother India, the people, the farmers who give us our daily food and the ordinary party worker who helps to take the party forward." (THE HINDU)
