By S. P. Udayakumar<\/b><\/p>\n
P<\/b>rime Minister, Prime Minister, why did you keep coal
\nWhen none of your predecessors ever had this foal?<\/p>\n
Did you sell non-players and new ones all the Black Gold
\nSo thermal power goes down and nuclear becomes bold?
\n
\nHow much did nuke barons, promoters, brokers pay your fold
\nFor bringing our country under Russians\u2019 and Americans\u2019 hold?<\/p>\n
You\u2019re indeed an eminent economist for the whole wide world
\nFor you strike a bunch of mangoes for every stone hurled!<\/p>\n
Crime Minister, Crime Minister, why didn\u2019t you ever goad
\nAll your ministers to work for India rather than have it sold?<\/p>\n
