The TV studio is bustling with activity as the talk show "The Political Circus" prepares to go on air. The stage is set with a backdrop displaying the emblem of the Show.
On the stage, the Host Warrior, Speaker Koimore, Party President & MLA Rubbish Kumar, and Minister Kalachand sit in cosy chairs facing the camera.
HOST
(lively)
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!
Welcome to "The Political Circus." Today, we have three distinguished guests from the Bhishon BidhanSabha. Please welcome Speaker Koimore, Party President & MLA Rubbish Kumar, and Minister Kalachand. Thank you all for joining us today.
Let's dive right into the current issues. Speaker Koimore, the recent increase in electricity bills has caused a lot of concern. What are your thoughts on this?
SPEAKER KOIMORE
Thank you for having us. Well, the recent increase in electricity bills has put a burden on the people. To tackle this, I propose a rather unconventional solution. Why not we encourage everyone to rest under trees?
In my humble opinion, it's quite simple. People should refrain from using fans and lights. Instead, they should seek solace under the shelter of trees. Nature will provide the cool breeze and natural light. It's cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
Not only will this save electricity, but it will also provide them with a refreshing natural breeze. Trees are nature's air conditioners, you know!
HOST
(laughs)
Resting under trees, an interesting take indeed. Now, Party President Rubbish Kumar, the rising prices of food items have left people concerned. What do you propose to address this issue?
PARTY PRESIDENT RUBBISH KUMAR
Well, it's quite simple, if people eat less, the demand for food will decrease, and so will the prices. We need to be mindful of our consumption. If everyone could just stop eating more, we'd have food at affordable prices. It's a win-win situation!
HOST
(slightly puzzled)
Eating less to bring down prices, a unique perspective. Minister Kalachand, poverty is a significant concern in our country. How does the government plan to tackle this issue?
MINISTER KALACHAND
(smugly)
Poverty is merely the result of one's karma from previous births. It's a cosmic cycle that one must endure. Those who are poor must have done something in their past lives to deserve their current situation. They must patiently bear the burden until their karma is cleansed. The government cannot interfere with such matters.
HOST
(astonished)
Karma from previous births as the cause of poverty! Quite an intriguing belief, Minister Kalachand.
SPEAKER KOIMORE
(interjecting)
If I may add, I think the poor could find solace under the trees too. After all, nature's generosity extends to all, regardless of their karmic standings.
PARTY PRESIDENT RUBBISH KUMAR
(laughs)
Yes, and if they eat less, their karmic balance might improve, bringing them closer to liberation from poverty.
MINISTER KALACHAND
(smiling)
Ah, the mysteries of karma and poverty. It's a divine design that we must respect.
HOST
Well, there you have it, viewers! Some truly unique and thought-provoking perspectives from our esteemed guests. Join us for more intriguing discussions on "The Political Circus" after a short commercial break.
TALKSHOW HOST
(laughs)
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen! Today, we have with us three esteemed representatives from the Bhishon Bidhan Sabha. Let's dive right into the discussion.
HOST
(raising an eyebrow)
Resting under trees? We have already discussed. That's certainly an interesting idea, Speaker Koimore. But won't it pose some challenges during monsoon season or at night?
SPEAKER KOIMORE
(grinning)
Ah, well, you see, during the monsoons, we could provide umbrellas to shield the people from the rain. And as for the night, we could distribute glow-in-the-dark sticks to guide them safely. Think of it as an adventurous experience, connecting with nature!
HOST
(turning to Party President Rubbish Kumar)
And what are your thoughts on Speaker Koimore's suggestion, Party President Kumar?
PARTY PRESIDENT RUBBISH KUMAR
(with a solemn expression)
Well, I must say that the speaker's proposal is just the tip of the iceberg. If people continue to eat more, the prices of essential commodities will skyrocket. It's a simple equation: less eating, lower prices. We need to promote frugality in our society.
TALKSHOW HOST
(raising an eyebrow)
So, you're suggesting that we impose restrictions on people's eating habits to curb inflation?
PARTY PRESIDENT RUBBISH KUMAR
(defiantly)
Absolutely! We need to encourage our citizens to embrace the Spartan lifestyle. If everyone eats like a sparrow, the cost of living will be as light as a feather.
HOST
(smiling)
Well, that's quite the perspective, Party President Kumar. Now, let's hear from Minister Kalachand. What's your take on the current socio-economic challenges faced by the people?
MINISTER KALACHAND
(sighing deeply)
It is my firm belief that being poor is merely the karmic consequence of one's previous births. It's not something to be resolved through practical measures or economic policies. Poverty is a spiritual journey, a result of past-life actions that one must endure and transcend.
HOST
(taken aback)
Minister Kalachand, are you suggesting that poverty is predetermined and beyond the reach of government intervention?
MINISTER KALACHAND
(nodding solemnly)
Indeed. It is the cosmic order at play. As representatives of the people, we must embrace the concept of karma and guide our constituents toward spiritual enlightenment, not just financial prosperity.
HOST
(wide-eyed)
Well, there you have it, viewers. Three unique perspectives on the challenges facing our society today. Thank you, Speaker Koimore, Party President Kumar, and Minister Kalachand, for sharing your unconventional yet thought-provoking views. Thank you viewers for your courage & patience for bearing us.
The camera fades out as the host and the representatives continue their conversations backstage.
