NEW DELHI: Drivers all over the country are threatening to strike work unless they're made directors as done so 'selflessly' by BJP chief Nitin Gadkari. "Make us directors, we can make good films, just like Ram Gopal Varma," a driver told Mocktale. When told that the post was actually the director of a company he shrugged and said, "That also works."
Several drivers were seen flashing their driving licences at the BJP headquarters in the capital. A BJP spokesperson told them, "Please wait your turn. We have many ministers. I am sure there are hundreds of such jobs available." Earlier, sources said Gadkari was heard screaming at his computer when it allegedly asked him to update his driver.
The RSS, however, washed its hands of the BJP chief. "What to do? He just doesn't look good in khaki shorts," a senior RSS functionary said.
Meanwhile, Robert Vadra is said to have sent a note using his driver to Gadkari, which reportedly thanked the large BJP president for taking the heat off him.
Later, Vadra was seen beaming after getting news of a clean chit issued to him over allegations of corruption. He then used the clean chit to clean his hands as it apparently had something to do with 'hath ki safai'.
Amid all these developments, external affairs minister SM Krishna resigned. He wanted to give a farewell speech but could not find any other country's written speech lying around. Krishna later said he wanted to "give youngsters a chance". On hearing this, youth Congress leader Rahul Gandhi immediately called Pakistan's Shahid Afridi for tips on staying young.
Afridi told him: "Bite the ball. I did it once. It works." He may have meant 'bullet' but the young Congress general secretary was left puzzled nonetheless.
Meanwhile, BJP is standing behind its president. "He's big enough to shield us all," a party functionary said.
