Politics ~ Comedy (That's all that matters)

Looking at the prevailing political scenario, i am emotionally compelled to form an analogy. And since it's my analogy, i strongly and sincerely hope it fails its ground soon. But for the moment, it stands true. All you need is an eye to look. I am known of Indian National Congress being 128 years old party, founded December 28,1885.
