I recently asked my friends’ little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up.
She said, “I want to be the PM of India”.
Both her parents, staunch Congressmen, were standing there.
So I asked her, “If you were PM, what would be the first thing you would do”?
She replied, “I’d give food and houses to all the homeless people”. Her parents beamed.
“Wow...what a worthy goal”, I told her. “But you don’t have to wait until you’re PM to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, sweep my driveway, and I’ll pay you Rs.500. Then I’ll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the Rs.500 to use for his food & house re-building.”
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, “Why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the Rs.500 directly”?
I said, “Welcome to the BJP”.
Her parents still aren’t talking to me.
