1. The Time Magazine.
The Time Magazine has featured on the cover of its international edition of 20 May '19 - the
Europe, West Asia and Africa, Asia and the South Pacific - a portrait of India's Prime Minister
Narendra Modi while the US edition has a cover story on Democrat Elizabeth Warren who is
running for the White House in 2020. The main headline reads "India's Divider in Chief" while a
secondary one reads "Modi the Reformer".
The article is written by Aatish Taseer, son of India's journalist, Tavleen Singh and late Pakistani
politician and businessman, Salman Taseer. It also says that the opposition Congress party has little
to offer other than the dynastic principle. The article blames Modi for spreading 'religious
nationalism' but mind you, its author is a Pakistani. And "Modi the Reformer" is authored by Ian Bremmer, President and founder Eurasia Group, a global risk research and consulting firm.
Modi has his followers and critics in equal measure!
2. Pitroda Says Sorry.
Under pressure from the Congress leadership, Sam Pitroda has apologised for his statement on
the '84 Sikh massacre egged on by a few of his party leaders.
What pressure tactics, what a change of tack by the grand old party!
3. Desperate Efforts!
Chandrababu Naidu has become desperate these days. He's looking for support for a post poll
alliance from the other members of the opposition to keep Modi and the BJP out. He has met
Mamata Banerjee in this regard but K Chandrasekhar Rao, strongly opposes this move because
of his pathological hatred of Naidu! Has Naidu realised that he and his party has no chance in the
Andhra Pradesh Assembly and come behind Jagan Mohan Reddy at the hustings?
Good to see the scurrying of the rats!
4. The Penultimate Phase.
The sixth and the penultimate phase of voting in the General Elections will take place tomorrow.
59 constituencies, spread across Bihar, Delhi, Haryana, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, UP and
West Bengal, will vote.
The juggernaut of the general elections is rolling towards its destination, slowly but surely!
5. Gautam Gambhir vs. Atishi Marlena.
While Atishi and her party have sought the court's intervention over her opponent's nasty and
personal degrading moves against her, Gambhir has said that he'll publicly commit suicide if
any of the charges framed against him proved true.
Well, the East Delhi constituency will see a lot of drama before the dust settles down!
Tailpiece.
Had got up at our usual time, gone through the chores and were ready well in time. It was unbearably hot throughout the day. The entire lattice work had been put in place by the end of the day. Now, it's a question of getting the JSW roofing sheets in situ before they are laid and screwed on to the lattice work! Tomorrow, they've a break being a Sunday.
