I came across this caricature below. I was thinking of drafting some thoughtful comments to accompany it. However, this extract from Paul Lismore’s article “WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR RAMGOOLAM TO UNDERSTAND THAT HE SIMPLY CANNOT GO ON LIKE THIS?” perfectly fits the bill and sends the right message.

“Trust you to even attempt to justify the immoral purchase with OUR money a Rs 30 million armoured limousine.Tell me, when was the last time any PM's limousine, any minister's limousine was attacked by anyone? I am told that chiens errants, even the crazy ones, refuse to run after your limousines and bark needlessly..

.

And you arrogantly ask, eski mo bizin voyaz par saret bef? No PM. Between a saret bef and that Rs 30 million monstrosity, there are numerous other choices that a PM really concerned about the state of our economy would have chosen: 𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝒄𝒂𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝑴𝒂𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒔, 𝒆𝒙𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒊𝒈 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔, 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆...unlike your limousines which you say break down.”
