Election stories.

1. Smriti Irani's Educational Qualification.

    This time, Smriti Irani has shown that she has not completed her graduation (Completed only the
    first year of her graduation) in the affidavit that she has submitted while filing her candidature in
    Amethi. Last time she'd got into a lot of trouble for having declared herself as a graduate! Wonder
    why such slip ups happen? The Congress has gone to town over it and have even come out with a
    parody on her educational qualification. Well, that's another extreme!

    These politicians fight like dogs over silly things!!

2. Maneka Gandhi's Call.

    During electioneering in her constituency, Sultanpur, Maneka Gandhi asked the Muslims to vote
    for her for the following reasons:-

        (a) We're not Mahatma Gandhi's children that we keep giving and not get anything in return.
        (b) She's all set to win and the Muslims would require her tomorrow.
        (c) I've sanctioned crores of rupees for the sake of the Muslims.

     This interaction of her's was in the Muslim-dominated Turabkhani area.

     Can someone be so blatant?

3. All About the Veterans' Letter.

    There was sudden news that over 150 military veterans had signed a letter, complaining against the
    politicisation of the armed forces, and forwarded it to the President of India. They cited political
    leaders - read, the Prime Minister - taking credit for the cross-border strikes. Well, the decision
    was his, wasn't it? It was amusing to see the entire range of opposition leaders congratulating the
    IAF for the Balakot strikes, fully well knowing that the PM was the one who had to give the go
    ahead! And the very same guys have asked for proof because they're convinced that the IAF had
    missed the target because Pakistan says so.

    Pakistan's stand does not stand scrutiny. If I were its PM, then I'd have taken the entire
    diplomatic corps, stationed within the country along with the international press to Balakot
    on 27 Feb itself, to show how the IAF had missed it completely and thereby made a laughing
    stock of India and Modi. A potent weapon in an election year!

    Coming back to the letter, ex-Army Chief SF Rodrigues and ex-Air Chief NC Suri have declared
    that they aren't party to it which has made it amply clear that it's the handiwork of the ex-Naval
    Chief Ramdas who's craving for attention. He's a compulsive liar and has proved it yet again. The
    joke is that the Rashtrapathi Bhavan has confirmed that it's yet to receive such a letter!


Tailpiece.

Got up with the alarm, went through the chores and we were ready well within time. It was a quiet day with not much of activity.
