All the PM’s family men

So, the cabinet has been sworn in. Great. Let’s hope they can get some real work done now. (And in Mumbai we should be happy Vilasrao will now exercise his famed inertia in Dilli). My only grouse is this: a vast number of sods who will rule us for the next five years are some or the other mantri’s beta or beti. Or nephew or niece. Which means despite Congress’s massive win, despite all the promises, merit has once again gone to the dogs. Dynasty continues to rule, and outsiders can keep waiting exactly there: outside.
Guess some things never change. Wish my dad was a neta. I would have been made for generations to come, instead of blogging for free. Humph!
