1. Lalu Yadav's Sons.
The RJD is fighting the elections in Bihar with two handicaps viz.:-
(a) the absence of Lalu Yadav who is in jail.
(b) the love-hate relationship between his two sons - Tej Pratap and Tejaswi.
Tej has often been perceived as being rebellious leaving the party red-faced quite often. Rabri
Devi has compared the sibling rivalry to the Mahabharat, "Mahabharat can never end. Differences
are there in all families, be it big or small."
The RJD party is a family business!
2. The Jat Quota Leader Opposes the BJP.
Yashpal Malik, the president of the 'Akhil Bharatiya Jat Arakshan Sangharsh Samiti' that led the
Jat reservation stir in Haryana will oppose the BJP in this election. Despite spearheading the
movement, he faces resistance from within the community and he terms it as attempts to divide
the Jats.
Holding the major political parties to ransom for narrow political gains!
3. 100 Year Old Lady Votes.
The 100-year-old-woman and former lieutenant with the Rani Jhansi Regiment of Netaji's Azad
Hind Fauj, Manwati Arya, braved the heat to cast her vote in Kanpur. Despite ill health, she
reached the polling station on a wheel chair.
Her fervour to vote is indeed an inspiration for everyone!
Tailpiece.
Had got up at our usual time, gone through the chores and were ready in time for breakfast. Rema, Mini, Lekha and Sanil left for Kottarakkara for sundry purchases and work in the panchayat office as well as the Village office.
Today happens to be the late Laila Samson's birthday. Remembered her and said a special prayer for her; sent a message to her daughter, Leela.
