With the general elections coming up in 2014, the think-tank of Rahul Gandhi's team has come up with an innovative idea to garner vote from North India state - to make Tandoori Chicken as India's national bird. The news was met with mixed reaction from across the country. The dhaba-wallas from Punjab were obviously delighted to hear the news. Says Rangith Singh - "We will now get subsidized chicken through the food security bill as it will also cover our national bird".
Many political analysts believe that this will ensure strong foot-hole for the congress party in the Northern State. We caught up with Ramchandra Guha and he was quoted saying "This shows that the Rahul is not a chicken anymore."
At the other end of the spectrum, the Iyer/Iyengar community were up in arms with this decision. The so-called "learned" community of India tried to burn the effigy of a chicken to protest, but it was called off as it signified a "tandoored" chicken. A more erudite approach was then adopted of holding a candle light vigil. "They are only holding the candle as there is no electricity for the past few hours" said Ram Singh who works at a Punjabi joint - Pait Pooja,
Meanwhile to cash on the controversy, the makers of the sleeper hit movie "Luv Shuv De Chicken Khurana" have announced a sequel to the movie, tentatively titled - "Luv Shuv De Chicken Gandhi"...
