Bye Bye Byta...oops Buta

Scene 1: (November 2004)
Buta Singh is handed over the reins of the post of 'Governor of Bihar'

Scene 2: (May 2005)
A close finish in the Bihar state assembly elections, with the JD(U) + BJP comination garnering more seats and managing to woo MLAs from other parties. There are shouts of horse-trading and Buta dissolves the house.

Scene 3: (July 2005)
Buta puportedly writes to the Union Railway Minister requesting favors for two senior railway officers

Scene 4: (August 2005)
Buta decides to transfer 17 IPS officers. The NDA is agitated (as usual). Bihar Chief Secretary too protests against the Guv's decision

Scene 5: (November 2005)
Re-elections in Bihar. JD(U) and allies' clear sweep. Buta is silent.

Scene 6: (January 2006)
- SC indicts Buta for his decision to disslove the Bihar house.
- Among rumours that he is looking for a respectful way out, the Governor takes the Republic Day salute.
- Just hours after taking the salute, Buta faxes his resignation to Prez.

NDA now says that they are not satisfied with Buta Singh's resignation and they want the PM to resign too ......

Way to go people!! Finally you've got some work to do now & a 'valid' reason to disrupt the proceedings of the Parliament (yet again)

PS: In this bland and factual representation of the turnout of events, I forgot to mention that
- Buta Singh has been an eight time lok sabha member,
- He was infamous for his inaction after Indira Gandhi's assassination in 1984,
- He was sidelined in the Congress party after his name surfaced in the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha bribery case,
- He switched sides and became a minister in the Atal Bihari regime, but was dropped thanks to the bribery case
- He returned to Congress only to loose an election and be awarded the post of Governor

Sorry for my mistake

Buta singh has just been made a 'bakra' by the congress in their game of power. They used him to prevent BJP from forming the govt earlier and now sacrificed him to save their a**!
Typical of Congress!
