How can Rafale be a scam,

Unless Vinod Rai says so first?

And public money in private hands

Is always in the national interest.

 

That was a time of paralysis,

Now decisions are made mid-air;

When gratis comes from the top

It can never be less than fair.

 

Cabinet, Parliament, Committees–

They gridlock development;

If we would compete with Twitter -Trump,

These must be packing sent.

 

Corruption is not in our DNA

We are the NDA;

The media have implicit faith

In what our spokesmen say.

 

Next we must streamline  so

Our democratic arrangements

That oppositions are by law deterred

From hassling governments.

 

Only lesser mortals need account

For this, that, and the other;

World-historical individuals

Must be above such bother.
