There in his constituency his
chela – chapattis celebrated this great coming of their leader. In the capital
Bhaiya Jee celebrated this salutation with his senior key person, sponsors
celebrated at a large hotel in a private party; he ensured the choicest of food
was served; booze flowed and the dancers summoned by his captains did their
jobs well. Initially the dancers started with a seductive mujra but soon
graduated to striptease; nude belly dancing and dancing nude over the laps of
the guests. The entire atmosphere was extremely touching as all guests wanted
to touch the gals here and there and wanted to take the evening further, then
& there.
But as now our Bhaiya Jee was the
Education Minister so he behaved in an educated way. He kept a young teenager
to give him company and asked the rest of the guests to teach some lessons to
the gals, taking turns as teachers are supposed to do! Period after period!
Next day was Bhaiya Jee’s first
day in the office!
Bhaiya Jee was very anxious on
this day since morning. Last days hangover was still there and the gal he had
spent night with too have been taxing on his sleep. He was currently at the
circuit house as allotment of his official residence was going to take time.
The vehicle picked him up to the secretariat.
Entire way he kept on
experiencing nausea, a bit of fever and extreme palpitations! The reason as all
we can understand is that even by this ripe age and having become an Honorable
Minister he had not been to any office to attend to any formal work. Back home
he used to visit his party office; for no actual work and otherwise used to
visit the other offices of the District H Q
to get jobs done which he had taken from various resident citizens on
contract. The later needed only his capacity to abuse, bully and bribe the govt
employees.
Also he was very anxious &
eager to know where will he find opportunities to eat !
After reaching the office, he was
received by the Principal Secretary of the Education Ministry. He was an IAS
officer of some 1987 batch; had some grey hair on a balding head, wore a safari
suit and golden framed spectacles. He was known as a seasoned bureaucrat; and
had worked after his stint as Collector of certain districts and at various
levels in different ministries and board. People considered him resourceful and
said that getting a position of his own choice in any ministry wasa cake walk
for him. He himself aimed to be the Chief Secretary in two years and purchase
two more villas in Delhi in his dummy relative’s name.
Bhaiya Jee was welcomed by the
representative of the C M office, Principal Secretary, Upper Secretary, Under
Secretary, Ministers Personal Secretary and other staff of the Education
Ministry. His own people had reached directly. Formally garlanded Bhaiya Jee
took his big seat across a mammoth table with a glass sheet over it. Lots of
files over the table! He looked around; almirahs with glass doors filled with
files surrounded him. In front of him was a watch and pictures of Gandhi and
other diseased leaders around him.
When everybody left him; he
looked around there was paper everywhere; files only. Nothing worthwhile to
eat! His heart started to sink. Would he not get anything to eat here? Has his
guru the CM had deceived him? Or he would have to be satisfied being a
termite??
