Just take a look at the first line on the post. So, it is Facebookwalas not jholawalas who are joking thus - or do the two amount to the same in your eyes? At least one must give it to the Facebookwalas that they have not (at least not all of them) lost the capacity to laugh and joke at themselves (which includes the likes of me, even though I am technically not a Facebookwala. Many others seem to have even lost the capacity for humour! Shamanta, you do realize that these are jokes doing the rounds on Facebook, don’t you? Just take a look at the first line on the post.

It's called lobbying and every rupee counts. No politician was dealing with relevant issues anyway. Still too many cars on the road, too many slums not being demolished in the name of human rights.
