MULAYAM.. Uttar Pradesh's Billy Bully Goat
Ephemerally, only the sure footed can survive the Ulta Pradesh power quest. This hollow horned mammal hopes he has put his best foot forward.What inspired this caricature is this apologue.
One day, a farmer in UP noticed a funeral procession coming up the road, and behind the hearse was a politician walking
with a mean looking goat. Behind them followed about 20 people, mostly aspiring politicians.
The following day, the farmer noticed the same hearse, the same man, the same goat, and now about 75 followers walking behind the hearse. The farmers curiosity got the best of
him. So he walked up to the politician with the goat and asked, "I saw you
yesterday about the same time as today, do you mind telling me what is going on?"
The politician explained that his wife died, and the farmer said "Oh I'm so sorry! What happened?"
The politician replied that the goat had killed her.
The farmer said, "If you buried your wife yesterday, who's in the hearse
today?'' The politician with the goat replied, "My mother-in-law."
The farmer
thought a minute, gleamed and asked the politician with the goat, "Can I borrow your
goat?" and he replied, "You'll have to get in line with the rest of
these people."
