The election cacophonics.

1. PM Narendra Modi's Reaction.

    In his last interview during elections '19, given to the Republic Bharath media group, he has said
    that he'd never be able to forgive Sadhvi Pragya for her statement on Nathuram Godse. A good
    political statement without bothering about the repercussions by taking on the hardliner and also
    against the party line.

    It will go a long way for the future political leaders to articulate their positions during tough
    situations!

2. Electioneering Finally Ends.

    The election campaign for 59 Lok Sabha seats, spread across Bihar, Chandigarh, Himachal
    Pradesh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal ended today. Polling will
    take place on Sunday.

    It brings an end to the bitterly contested election that lasted over 45 days! 23 May will bring out
    the election results!!

3. The TRS and the YSRC Have Second Thoughts!

    After all the bluster and brouhaha over the last few days over the support that they would offer
    it to a non-BJP, non-Congress front, K Chandrasekhar Rao and Jagan Reddy that they would
    not be attending the post poll alliance meet called for by the Congress on 23 May and would,
    instead, wait for a clear picture to emerge.

    All the talk about a combined opposition unity has begun to fizzle out?


Tailpiece.

Had got up a trifle early, gone through the chores and were ready well in time. Vipin and his team had come in by a quarter to 11 and commenced their work of repairing the false ceiling, which they finished by a half past 1. Thus, by lunch time today, all work that were taken on have been completed. Phew!

Omanakkuttan, the hard working farmhand that dad and mom were fond of, had fetched up as I was looking forward to my siesta. He'd brought in his 18 year old son, Nikhil who has just completed his vocational higher secondary education in automobile engineering. Spoke to the youngster and have assured him that I'd help him in his preparations for the entry exams.

The evening rain gave us an idea as to how rains would be in the days to come, thanks to the truss work in place. Briefed Vijayan, the caretaker, about a few things to be done before our next visit.

Raj Nivas was slowly wound up as we would be kicking off for Kochi by early morning tomorrow.
