    The satirical article ‘Tau k Isteefa’ (Garh Aina 27/3/1990) by Bhishma Kukreti is based on the opportunistic acts by various Janta Party leaders as Devi Lal then the deputy prime minister of India.  Kukreti lambasts on their breaking own political party for selfish reason and deceiving other leaders as well the Indian people.

यि वी देवीलाल छन जु पैलि डाळि लगान्दन अर फिर वीं इ डाळि तै काटी दीन्दन. यि पैल बंशीलाल तैच्याला बणान्दन फिर च्याला क बान इ खाड खुददन. भग्यान चरण सिंह तै गुरु बणान्दन अर फिर ऊँ सेरुथिक बणबास चलि जान्दन . अवसरबाद मा यि अपण गुरु चरण सिंग से बि अग्वाड़ी छन

           The satire is in dialogue form between Bhishma Kukreti and Ishwari Prasad Uniyal. Kukreti also predicts the technological development in communication. Kukreti hits fiercely at  political opportunism and political opportunists as Devi Lal.
