We had our elections in quite a few states recently. But the Brits were doing another kind of poll altogether. It did have something to do with their elected reps

Now that the new Chief Ministers have settled down to brandishing the misdeeds of their predecessors and are concentrating on creating their own snafus, it is time that India had its own sexy poll of the people who rule us.
The "I-look-so-much-better-than-my-cutout" Award for the Sexiest Chief Minister: This is such a tough, tough one. In the fray were hunks like Deadly Yeddy with his silver locks and impeccable safari suits and Narendra Modiu00a0 who sports fiery speeches and yoga lingerie. But the award finally, and after much deliberation, was a tie.
Going to the two svelte damsels who oversee the fortunes of Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh. One gets it for her fashionista style of swirling capes and matching rhetoric. The other one wins it hand down for her unique accessory of multi-crore garlands, worn with as much aplomb as maharaja-ical Cartier sets. Leading designers at the last Milan Fashion Week were overheard being rather distraught that they had not thought up something so simple, yet so fashionable. The award consists of a complete make-over by top Bollywood artiste Master Shambhu. As it's a tie, separate caravans will be provided.
The "I'm-too-sexy-for-my-portfolio" Trophy for the Coolest Central Minister:u00a0 Toothy Sachin Pilot and Cute Agatha Sangma move over! You guys have been swept off your feet by a guy who dapperly and silently amassed immense dazzling wealth and Caribbean hideouts. It's all about style, babies. And you've been pipped to the post by a Raja who coolly creamed the milk and made off into the distance with his tracks carefully covered. So what if he isn't a Minister no more? He can buy the entire Lok Sabha and Janpath, while he's at it!
The "Shimmer & Shake Sinuous Star Performer" of the Year: Has to, just simply has to go to Ms Swaraj of the Opposition who very vehemently came out in media in support of her (Dravidian) sons when the going was good ufffd and has now backed out of all relationship with them when the going isn't so good. Unfortunately photographs of her with her hands placed in a maternal blessing on their heads have already done the round.
The Climax is still being worked out for the Heroine.
Post Script: Most winners refused to accept their awards. And have asked instead for the proceeds to go to their favourite Charities: their secret Swiss accounts.
