Breaking News: Modi & Shah’s New Address VIP Wing, Tihar Jail

India woke up today to the kind
of headline that makes you spill your chai, choke on a biscuit, and
double-check your phone battery: “Modi and Shah in Tihar Jail.” Of
course, they’re not actually there yet, but why let pesky facts ruin a
perfectly good fantasy? In a country where the Election Commission behaves like
the BJP’s in-house event management company, this headline could age into
reality faster than your next electricity bill.
August 7 was the day Rahul Gandhi
performed the political equivalent of a citizen’s arrest. With six months of
painstaking voter data in hand, he laid out the BJP’s little “magic tricks” for
the nation: votes added, votes deleted, and my personal favorite, votes counted
twice because democracy is apparently a BOGO sale now. Rahul’s questions hit
harder than a Tihar gate slamming shut. And since then, Modi has perfected the
art of invisibility. No Parliament appearances. No dramatic speeches. Just
lurking in safe zones where journalists and Rahul’s follow-up questions can’t
reach. As I said earlier, Rahul didn’t just corner him; he mentally
incarcerated him.
In what can only be described as
a desperate rescue attempt, Anurag Thakur held a press conference to “expose”
voter fraud in six opposition-won constituencies. Unfortunately, his big reveal
went about as well as a magician who forgets to hide the rabbit. The
allegations? Weak. The evidence? Nonexistent. The takeaway? The ECI does have
electronic voting data, but will only share it if you have the BJP membership
card. So, instead of clearing Modi’s name, Anurag’s performance was a
masterclass in proving Rahul’s point: the ECI is not neutral; it’s the BJP’s
favorite cousin who only comes to weddings if there’s free whiskey.
Then came Haryana. The Supreme
Court ordered an EVM recount for a sarpanch election, and surprise the declared
BJP winner wasn’t the actual winner. The real victor had been robbed in broad
daylight by election officers. Meanwhile, in Bihar, the SC forced the ECI to
publish the names and reasons for the deletion of 65 lakh voters. Translation: “Dear
Citizens, please visit our website to see why you no longer exist in our
democracy.” And where’s the ECI in all this? Somewhere deep underground,
presumably digging a tunnel to join Modi in his “hideout,” while BJP leaders
take turns doing unpaid PR work for them.
So when Ravish Kumar says Modi
and Shah are in Tihar, it’s less breaking news and more a future
episode teaser. Picture it: Cell Block A Modi giving Mann Ki Baat to
the laundry staff, promising them “achhe din” if they iron his kurta just
right. Mess Hall Shah negotiating extra gulab jamuns for “party discipline.”
Recreation Yard, the ECI officials are explaining to other inmates that the
dice game they’re running is “totally fair” because the BJP always wins.
Visiting Hours big corporate donors are trying not to be seen on CCTV while
whispering, “Bhai, humne to sirf sponsorship diya tha!”
If this political Jenga tower
collapses and the wobble is already visible, the next season practically writes
itself. The special “Tihar Business Leaders Wing” will be ready for
industrialists who helped fund the electoral magic show. Some of them are
already on international watchlists; the rest are just waiting for the post-August
15 plot twist.
So yes, Ravish Kumar isn’t
predicting the future; he’s reading the obvious. The BJP government is coughing
up blood politically, and the writing isn’t just on the wall, it’s
spray-painted in fluorescent orange: Collapse Incoming. Until then, let’s keep
watching. Because nothing will beat the day Breaking News finally drops
without the “satire” disclaimer: “Tihar Diaries – The Modi & Shah
Edition.” And trust me, the TRPs will be historic.
