Ayaram Gayaram Dalbadlu
– Col. P Deogirikar
The other day I was discussing my retirement when a friend mentioned, "It is really
good to be a politician; there is no question of retirement!" And, while reading the
newspaper that day, I learnt that a major political party was conducting management
sessions for their ministers. These two things induced a chain of thoughts. 'Would
there be a management system in a political party'? 'How do they go for recruitment'?
'Are there any HR systems'? etc. And some interesting possibilities came up. For
starters, the CV of a 'typical' politician should interest you.
Name - Aya Ram Dalbadlu
Father's Name - Gaya Ram Dalbadlu
Place - I have no place-loyalty. I belong
to the place from where a parliament ticket
is available.
Objective - To ensure uninterrupted
'power' by continuously occupying
increasingly 'bigger' chairs.
Family Background - Our three
generations have been serving the nation.
Grandfather was a freedom fighter and
father a Central Minister. I am the third
generation. Those who know me well call
me a 'freedom fighter' as well, but behind
my back, I wonder why!
All my siblings are in different national
political parties. There has not been a
single day in last 30 years when one of
us has not been in power.
Achievements - I have changed parties
13 times in last 7 years and have
managed to get minister ship 11 times off
this. This percentage (85) of conversion
happens to be a national record.
86 court cases, out of which 32 are
criminal, are pending against me for a
number of years. Despite of such 'active'
career, I am yet to be convicted once.
Qualifications - I feel values and
convictions are more important than mere
qualifications. I was in the lower
kindergarten when the teacher punished
me (she made me stand in a corner)
merely because I had not done the home
work. I protested and boycotted the
classes. I have never climbed the school
stairs since then, except those numerous
occasions when I was the chief guest for
school and college functions.
I was conferred with an honorary D Lit last
year for the services rendered to the
society.
Language - Money. That is the language
best known to me. Can read, write, drink,
eat, speak, listen, dream, smell this
language 24x7.
Reference - National VPs of ABC, XYZ,
MNO, PQR parties. They would vouch
very strongly for my honesty, loyalty and
integrity.
Most of the 'bhais' in metros and other
important towns would say a good word
to support me.
Probable date of joining - With in 2 hours
of defecting from the other party.
Strengths - Can speak on a variety of
subjects of national or international
importance for hours together without
having any knowledge about it. Excellent
with 'caste' mathematics and 'voter'
chemistry. Specialty in conspiring riots
and bundhs.
A strong, very well 'trained' fan club.
Weaknesses - None. Many political
parties and media are working very hard
for so many years to find some.
Experience - 19 years hands on, in all
major political parties. Acquainted with the
cultures of all national parties.
Responsibilities - To keep chairs intact
while in power and to topple chairs while
in opposition.
Salary expected - I should be allowed
direct negotiations with property dealers,
contractors, bhais etc.
To the best of my manipulation, the above
information is correct. For any more
details required, my fan clubs are available
in all major towns.

Most challenging period of my career?
Well, for whole 23 days, I was not in any
ministry and that was the most
demanding period...
