May 18th Pandorathon prompt and my attempts that did not come out so well with me being in an uninspired mood

 A Rapscallion's sermon. May 18th TSL Pandorathon with Santosh Bakaya's prompt

Bhaiyon aur behenon,
mitron
mere pyaare deshvaasiyon:
Spring is the mischief in me
so I give this sermon
though it is becoming summer
Today we have gathered
in this year of the Lord 7 Modi
to announce a certain sea change
into something rich and strange
in our policies
We will roll back demonetization
GST
and remove the eyesores that are statues
of unity
in the land
No more bullet trains
No more Central Vistas
NRC, CAA. riots, mobs, lynchings, banning of beef
No more Ram mandirs
Farmer bills to be rolled back
No more victimizing Muslims
Instead, free vaccines
No more monkey baths
instead tan ki shakti man ki shakti
No more arrests
for pasting posters
instead defense expenditure cutting and
spending money given to temples
for hospitals and education
for creating jobs and industries
businesses
For elections
no more EVMs
and a new EEC
as well as transparency
No more drinking cow urine
You may say
I'm a dreamer
But one can
always wish
rapping on
being a rascal
like me
and a rapscallion
chortling aloud in glee


Rapscallion's sermon -2
Friends, Indians and country men, lend me your ears. I have come to praise Modi, not to razz him. Modi is an honourable man, so are they all, all honourable men. Modi, Amit, Amit, Modi, Adani, Ambani, Ambani, Adani, Tejasvi, HIV, HIV, Tejasvi, Coronil, Ramdev, Ramdev, Coronil, Yogi, Bhogi, not Yogi, not Bhogi.
When Modi sold tea was that ambition on his part? Never. When Amit campaigned in WB did he know it is not World Bank? Never.
When poor workers pasted posters asking why vaccines they should have got had been sent abroad and got arrested, did they all know anything about it. No, they were fast asleep.
Adieu, adieu, adieu, for the time being, lest you think these are wild and whirling words.
