More election related stories.

1. AAP Supports LDF.

    The state convener of the AAP, Mr. CR Neelakandan, had earlier announced that his party would
    support the UDF candidates in the state because its central leadership was hoping for an electoral
    tie up with the Congress in Delhi, Haryana and Punjab. The tie up had not worked out and hence,
    the change of mind to support the LDF! To make it look like it was a slip on the part of the state
    leadership for deciding to support the UDF, Mr. Neelakandan has been given the boot.

    Kejriwal's antics continue unabated!

2. The Attingal UDF Candidate's Allegation.

    Adoor Prakash, the UDF candidate at the Attingal constituency, has levelled serious allegation
    of widespread rigging of the voter's list because 1,12, 322 voters in the constituency received more
    than one voter ID. He has asked for an immediate probe and the Election Commission is looking
    into it.

    Yet another instance of alleged rigging! Is it possible? Is it true? If affirmative, who's its author?

3. Yet Another Tharoor Gimmick!

    Tharoor has released his 'manifesto' for Thiruvananthapuram in which he promises to:-

        (a) Support legislation in Parliament that safeguards the faith, tradition and belief of the
             Sabarimala devotees if the review petition failed in the Supreme Court.
        (b) Continue active engagement and active support to the various infrastructure projects.
        (c) Work towards getting world class companies and organisations in Technopark.
        (d) Increase job opportunities and
        (e) Promote the #Move2Trivandrum Movement.

    Is the fear of failure showing?

4. Rahul Gandhi's Documents' Scrutiny Delayed.

    Based on an Independent candidate's objections, Rahul Gandhi's election affidavit submitted to
    Amethi's Returning Officer has not been scrutinised because of alleged discrepancies over his
    citizenship and educational qualification. The candidate has been given time till Monday to
    produce supporting documents.

    Caught in a vicious circle?



Tailpiece.

Got up with the alarm, went through our chores and were ready well in time. Annie had come in for work after a lapse of seven days. Phew! It was an unbearably hot day. Went across to the nearby bakery for getting money of smaller denominations.
