The election cacophonics.

1. Kejriwal Gets a Slap.

    Delhi's Chief Minister Kejriwal was slapped during a roadshow in support of the AAP candidate,
    Brijesh Goyal in the Moti Nagar constituency. The offender was immediately apprehended and
    taken away by the police. The party has alleged that it was the BJP's doing and indicted the PM
    and the party president for the incident.

    Why wasn't the Congress included in the charge because the party had tasted bitterness after the
    seat sharing formula between the two had not worked out. Probably, it's to keep the door narrowly
    open to facilitate tie up-post poll for government formation?

2. Rahul's Links with Defence Deals?

    Quoting media reports, the BJP has questioned Rahul Gandhi's role in handing over the offset
    contract in the Scorpene Submarine deal to the US national Ulrik Mcknight. The Backops Service
    Pvt Ltd, with Rahul and Priyanka as its directors, was the liaisoning company which allegedly used
    influence for cash in 2002. In '09, Rahul exits from the company and the Indian company folds its
    business in '10. Meanwhile, Ulrik continues to work in the name of other companies. During this
    period, the French Company DCNS gets the contract to manufacture six Scorpene submarines in
    India and an unknown Indian company, Flashforge, is selected for DCNS' offset entity.

    The Congress party and its president have a lot of questions to answer in this regard. Was this
    knowledge of his that came handy while explaining the handing over of the Rafael offset entity to
    Anil Ambani?

3. Campaigning Ends.

    Campaigning has ended for the fifth phase of the elections for 51 seats, spread over Rajasthan,
    West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and Jammu and Kashmir. The polling will take
    place on 06 May.

    The election juggernaut continues to roll and the virulent cacophonics continue to take place!


Tailpiece.

Lekha had got up half an hour earlier than our usual wake up time of 6. Went through our chores and we were ready well before the Rajah Medical team came to draw the blood, urine samples. I'd a post prandial draw too.

Annie had come to work after a lapse of over ten days.

The results came in by about 1500 hrs. Lekha's parameters are within limits and my liver function test results give me reasons to cheer!

Lekha had gone to the Mammiyoor Siva kshethram for her weekly tryst in the evening.
