"Rajeev Gandhi Face Yojna" as solution to all economic problems

Dedicated to the pointless full page ads with the much dead Rajeev Gandhi's face. Satire.
 
Speaking from outside the Parliament, the Finance Minister P. Chidambaram revealed that the UPA government had adopted the strategy of releasing more Rajeev Gandhi ads to solve the self confidence issue plaguing the Indian economy, Rupee, fiscal deficit, current account deficit, inflation numbers, industrial production, etc. “Mr. Rajeev Gandhi’s face is so bright and full of happiness,” Chidambaram said smiling merrily like a man whose bills are paid for by the Indian taxpayer and to whom inflation is just a number. “How can such a nice smile not solve all the problems of the common man?” he added.

Pointing to the day’s newspaper he said, “This has Mr. Rajeev Gandhi’s smiling face five times. Each smile is meant for each problem facing the economy- namely slow growth, inflation, current account deficit and two more which I cannot remember at the moment because I am so bedazzled by his smile. Our message to the Indian people is basically- don’t worry about your finances because clearly all of us here are smiling and absolutely not worried at all.”

“I do not know what wastefulness you are talking of,” he said reacting to a question on wasteful media expenditure from this Faking News reporter. “This smile shall remind people that they can get cheap food under the Food Security Bill and give them the self confidence skills to claim it.” When questioned about India’s large middle class who had no access to the cheaper foodgrains or other similar government generosities, the minister reacted sharply, “Inflation has been 10% in India for my entire reign. All middle class has to be poor now; if not I would be really worried and we would have changed Rajeev Gandhi’s smile to a frown in the ads.”
