Language And Executive Chief Poem by Gajanan Mishra

Language and
Executive chief;
Both are inter-related.

But I wonder, Mr Nabin
How you are performing
Your duty in a state
Without uttering or
Knowing the language
Of the people.
I salute you
So also I salute
The Odia people
For the reasons
They are giving you
Vote again and again.
Perhaps, they think,
Language is not a problem.
I am the fool, crying
And crying for the language.
Is it necessary?
I don't know, please,
Excuse me, if I have
Some selfish or
Malafide intention.
But the Constitution
Has not listed in its
8th Sch the language
You speak, Mr Nabin.
Our official language Act
Is not telling the use of
Other language besides Odia.
Think for a while
On this matter.
This is urgent, my dear.
Ours have a democratic form
Of Government and you are
The Chief Executive or
Real head of Govt and
The face of the people.
