AAPartment woes - simple living SLY thinking!!!

Will he? Won't he? That has been the question over the last few days since AAP came into power in New Delhi.

After refusing the palatial residences in Lutyen;s Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal created quite a stir. The opposition taunted this to be "crass publicity stunts" .

Kejriwal planned to move out of his Ghaziabad residence to a plush apartment (5 BHK duplex) but since Yogendra Yadav had not yet done a poll among Delhites to determine the accommodation type for Kejriwal, the plans have been kept on hold for now. 

The wily opposition, not willing to seize an opportunity has come out with its own take on living spaces for their top leaders. Each party trying to out do the other in this race. BJP fearing AAP's sudden popularity has come out with it's top leaders trying to outdo Kejriwal. 

"I have always been a vagabond, then also I was living on the move... now also I am living on the move", quoted L K Advani in a blog. 

Not the one to be out of the lime light, Narendra Modi tweeted," Gujarat's development has been faster than an express train and that's where is my preferred house (and not-preferred past fire that refuses to douse)". 

This tweet definitely aroused tempers from Modi naysayers and the media quickly anointed him as Mr. Godhra Express. BJP quickly intervened to state that Modi's tweet was just a state of mind and was blown out of context. 

Meanwhile, Congress was mulling about it's plans in this regard. The party think tank went overdrive to come up something more grandiose and more simple than BJP. Baba slept sleepless nights thinking over this...
He tried living in a hut as well but his jacuzzi could not fit into the space. Here was a golden opportunity wasted, he thought...
Not knowing what else to do, he consulted Mommy dearest. Mommy who was busy planning for the forthcoming elections to announce Rahul as the Prime Ministerial candidate, told him to consult Jija G. Baba, always the good boy, follows Mommy's instructions and discusses his fears with Robert. The Gen next of the Gandhi family put their collective cerebral capacities and decide on a grandiose plan to promote Congress' vision for it's ministers' residences. Jija G says something about a Singh who will be a partner in this vision. Baba agrees immediately. His chance to show Mommy that he is a PM material!!
He shares his plans with Diggy Uncle and here too he gets a thumbs up!!!
Now that all plans were in place, Rahul Gandhi plans a press conference to announce what could be Congress' trump card before the elections. A GRAND GALA SCHEME FOR SIMPLE HOUSING ARRANGEMENT for Congress MLAs and MPs

This is what Congress announced !!!
