Mamata’s Nano..!

Not many know of Mamata Banerjee’s master plan to beat the Tata’s at their own game: “We don’t need no Nano because Mamata has her own Nano for the people!” chanted a party worker of the firebrand leader. “Come let me show you the Mamata Nano!”

                             I drove with the party worker out of Kolkata “Our engineers burned the midnight oil to produce this model,” he said proudly as he showed me into a small shed somewhere near Singur.

“And like the Nano this will just cost a lakh?” I asked.

“You think only a Tata can do that? You don’t know our Mamata! There it is!”

“Its beautiful!” I cried.

“The paint we’ve used is the latest in gobhar gas technology,” said the party worker proudly. “The gloss will retain its shine for a whole day.”

“Incredible!” I whispered in disbelief.

“Safety belts made of pajama strings!” exclaimed the worker.

“Superb!” I said.

“Bucket seats out of real buckets!”

“Unbelievable!”

“Iron bumpers from old ploughshares that will rip open another car in an accident!”

“You’ve even got a small vanity box inside!” I said.

“That’s for our rosogullas! Look at the headlights, good ole kerosene lamps!”

“Brilliant!”

“Mosquito nets instead of glasses all round!”

“Awesome!” I cried incredulously.

                     The party worker looked at me with unconcealed pride. “Mamata will bring back Bengal’s lost pride. Our party will come to power once this car hits the road,” he said. “This will surely catapult her to the PM’s chair!”

“She will send Sonia packing to Italy!” I mused

 “And Manmohan back to his books!” guffawed the party worker, “for too long have we had to hear about liberalization and nuclear deals when desi ideas where available right here. Mamata knew we didn’t have to borrow from western technology!”

“Yes,” I shouted gleefully, “you might even export this car to Japan.”

“Ha, ha, ha!” laughed the worker, “I can see you are becoming a Mamata fan! What about a cup of tea before we return?”

 “Let’s take it out for a spin first,” I said eagerly.

“A what?” asked the puzzled worker.

“A drive,” I explained, “I’d like to see her on the road!”

“You’ll have to install an engine for that.”
“It doesn’t have an engine?” I asked astonished.

“What do you expect for a lakh? But if you insist, Mamata has even thought about that: Come with me,” said the worker as he led me to a field where farmers stood next to their bulls, “For a lakh more these farmers will hitch a pair to the front of the car!”

“This is just the leader we need!” I whispered in awe, “Not only has she built an automobile industry in the state but has helped the farmer too..!”
