“Our sincere tributes to the concept of transparency (as is said at a funeral),” was one of the many WhatsApp jokes doing the rounds on Thursday as counting for BMC elections was underway. The joke takes off on the endless references to BJP’s agenda of transparency (prompted by demonitisation) during the campaign led by chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and endless retorts by Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on the same subject – not to forget the repeated declaration of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation being the most transparent civic body!
