Let’s take a look at the one and only thing what’s likely to happen, if some of them occupied the PM’s chair:
***
Carpenter: Charge salary on hourly basis and screw the cabinet.
Doctor: Hold the pulse of the nation, shake head and recommend a series of illegible tests.
Cab driver: Paint Lok Sabha yellow and black and run it like crazy.
Plumber: Plug the drains in RBI and wait for the currency to dry.
Intellectual: Argue each point and blame the politicians of previous government.
Circus trainer: Pitch his tent inside Parliament and tame the animals.
Traffic cop: Use only one hand for all transactions.
Movie star: Convert nation into a set and run country on reel life
TV newsreader: Do a sting operation on opposition and break news every hour
Cricketer: Charge channels per appearance on TV
IT professional: Convert free land into call centres and talk in code.
Postman: Deliver promises after a year as dead letter
Shepherd: Skin sheep (people) and fleece the nation
Editor: Give lengthy sermons to cabinet and reverse it next day
Churumuri: Look at everything negatively, wait for comments from far and wide, and watch the fun

How would other professionals fare as PM? Tell us.

what would a full time politician do then????
ERR why are you so much obsessed with ‘sting’ operation?
Trying a bit of ‘reverse psychology’, what could our politicians be doing if they were not building bridges where there’s no water (aka ruining our lives) ? Some suggestions :
Given their affinity to khurchi, lancha, nidde(a la Siddarama & Gowda) & sarkari kacheri – Chaprasi — chappar for short …
Beli hola meyyuva variety – Store keeper
Jeevana paryanta rRail bitta anubhava – Railway Engine Driver
Holasu priyaraddarinda – Jalagaara
