[Thanks to MGD for prodding me to think about this connection.]

 

 

 

Prime Minister, Prime Minister, why did you keep coal

 

When none of your predecessors ever had this foal?

 

Did you sell non-players and new ones all the Black Gold

 

So thermal power goes down and nuclear becomes bold?

 

How much did nuke barons, promoters, brokers pay your fold

 

For bringing our country under Russians’ and Americans’ hold?

 

You’re indeed an eminent economist for the whole wide world

 

For you strike a bunch of mangoes for every stone hurled!

 

Crime Minister, Crime Minister, why didn’t you ever goad

 

All your ministers to work for India rather than have it sold?
