1. Lekha's Father's Third Remembrance Day.
Today is Lekha's father's third remembrance day as per the Malayalam calendar. A thila homam
was carried out in his memory at the Perunthatta Siva kshetram.
2. Fake News on the Eve of Elections.
There was a news item in the ToI that Modi had said that he was willing to tie up with the fiercest
of his political opponents, post polls, to form a government at the centre. Seeing the screaming
headlines, its hollowness hit me because he has neither toed such a line during electioneering nor
has he said so in his interviews. Realised that it could be yet another prank from the opposition,
rattled by the surveys that give him and his party an edge.
3. Rafael Deal Kept Afloat.
A government-to-government agreement has been brought under the scanner to have some handle
against Modi during the elections. Lawyer Prashant Bhushan, the disgruntled Yashwant Sinha and
Arun Shourie had filed the review petition against the clean chit given, earlier, by the Supreme
Court. And the Hindu had yet another article published about the subject today - a subtle
influencing of the Court or to bring it alive on the eve of the first phase of elections?
4. The Election Commission's Right Decisions.
By stalling the biopic on Narendra Modi and the order against the broadcasting of the NaMo
television channel, the Election Commission has taken the right decision to ensure the conduct of
the elections on a level playing field. The biopic will be released post-elections and the airing of
the NaMo channel will also resume then. To attribute this decision of the EC as a triple blow to
Modi - along with the Rafael deal judgement - as the media was going ga ga over today only
as to how Modi is being bashed from all around.
And if a philosopher were to be believed, "If people gang up against one individual in a political
process, then that individual should be the one that should be supported to the hilt".
Tailpiece.
Got up with the alarm, went through our chores and we were ready well in time. Went about our work systematically and watered the plants in the evening, that has become mandatory in this heat.
