THREE CHEERS OR NO CHAIR

IN ORDER TO AVOID THE EVER -VIGILANT EC AND ITS SANCTIMONIOUS MODEL CODE OF CONDUCT , THE PARTIES, EVER INNOVATIVE, ARE USING NICKNAMES FOR DIFFERENT BRANDS OF WINE. THE DISTRIBUTION OF BEER BEFORE ELECTION IS ILLEGAL SO THE POLITICAL PARTIES HAVE STARTED COUPON SYSTEM WHICH COULD BE LATER EXCHANGED FOR LIQUOR GOLD AND GROCERIES
SO SHOULD IT BE THREE CHEERS OR NO CHAIR FOR SUCH LEADER?

AKALI'S OR CONGRESS THERE 'S NO WATER OR JOB

ELECTION COMES AND GOES AND SO DO THE POLITICIANS, BUT SOME ISSUES HAVE REMAINED UNCHANGED TILL DATE
WATER CONTINUES TO REMAIN A REAR COMMODITY IN PARCHED LANDS OF KANDHI AREA
THERE ARE EVEN NO JOBS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO FEEL- THAT THE POLITICIAN COME SEEKING VOTES, AND THEN NEVER TURN UP TO GIVE THE POOR A HEARING
BUT STILL THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF TUNNEL
AS A WOMAN OF 90 YEARS FEEL THAT THEY WILL NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT GIVING VOTES
THIS IS THE ACTUAL CONDITION OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE AWAY FROM GLITZ AND GLIMPSE OF CITY LIFE

FOURTH BADAL IN CENTER?

THE WHOLE BADAL FAMILY IS INVOLVED IN POLITICS -PRAKASH BADAL,SUKHBIR,MANPREET AND EVEN HARSIMRAT KAUR
SHE IS ASKING THE PEOPLE OF BHATINDA TO VOTE FOR THE BADAL FAMILY FOR WHOM WINNING BHATINDA RURAL WILL BE A KEY TO VICTORY
IN SPITE OF HAVING THREE BADALS IN CHANDIGARH, SHE IS MUSTERING SUPPORT BY STRESSING ON NEED FOR ANOTHER ONE IN DELHI
WILL THE VILLAGE VOTE AKALI?

GURSHAN KAUR , MANMOHAN SINGH'S WIFE FELL THAT THE DESTINY WAS RESPONSIBLE IN MAKING HIS HUSBAND THE FIRST CITIZEN OF INDIA
FOR HER IT CAME OUT OF BLUE AS HER LIFE PARTNER WAS NEITHER CONTESTING THE ELECTION NOR WAS HE IN THE RACE
THOUGH EVEN NOW SHE MISS THE DAILY ROUTINE OF HER EARLIER LIFE SHE IS QUITE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT CONGRESS COMING BACK TO POWER

SALLU'S ZEAL BACKFIRED?

SALMAN KHANS GOOD INTENTION HAVE BOOMERANGED ON HIM
IRONICALLY SALMAN KHAN WAS CAMPAIGNING FOR BJP, WHICH TARGETED HIM AFTER A KRISHNA IDOL WAS DAMAGED BY CROWDS URGING TO SEE HIM
IS THIS ACT ALSO A PART OF BJP;S WITS AND TRICKS TO MUSTER SUPPORT ?
WON'T THEY LOOSE THEIR YOUTH ICON BY THIS ACT?
GIVE YOUR VIEWS SHOULD ACTORS AND ACTRESSES BE PART POLITICAL SCENARIO?

TOO MANY GANDHIS

TOO MANY GANDHIS

EMPTY VESSELS MAKING NOISE

ON SUNDAY ELECTION COMMISSION WAS FRUSTRATED ENOUGH TO STATE THAT IT WAS PAINED TO OBSERVE THAT MANY POLITICAL LEADERS WERE MAKING INTEMPERATE AND DEROGATORY REMARKS AGAINST THEIR RIVALS
ON THE TOP OF THIS TU TU MAIN MAIN CACOPHONY,THERE ARE ALSO CONSTANT COMPLAINTS OF VIOLATION OF CODE OF CONDUCT
WITH SUCH AN UNFORTUNATE DISPLAY AND WITH THE PARTIES IGNORING THE CODE OF CONDUCT THAT THEY HAVE PROMISED TO ADHERE TO, WHY WE HAVE A MODEL CODE AT ALL?

MONEY POWER

POLITICIANS GETTING RICHER THAN OTHERS IS NO SURPRISE. IN FACT OF THE TEN RICHIE RICHES ACROSS THE COUNTRY FIVE ARE POLITICIANS
THERE ASSETS RUN INTO HUNDREDS OF CRORES AND SOME HAVE THEIR WEALTH GROWING 20 TO 30 TIMES FROM LAST ELECTION
AMONG THE 314 CANDIDATES CONTESTING ELECTIONS IN 22 CONSTITUENCIES 64 ARE CROREPATIS-UP FOUR TIMES FROM 2004. AT THE TIME, THERE WERE ONLY 3 CANDIDATES IN THESE CONSTITUENCIES WITH ASSETS OF MORE THAN Rs 10 CRORE , NOW THERE ARE 18
IN SUCH A SITUATION I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND HOW POLITICAL DECISION MAKING CAN REMAIN UNALTERED BY THE EFFECT OF MONEY POWER?

ECO...NO....MY

GIVE YOUR VIEWS ON TOPIC
THAT ARE POLITICIANS USING THE CHAIR OF POWERS JUST TO FULFILL THEIR GREEDS OR ARE THEY ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING FOR IMPROVING COUNTRY'S ECONOMY?

WAR OF WORDS

The effect of the war of words between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Leader of Opposition L K Advani was evident as they came face-to-face in Parliament on Tuesday at a function to commemorate the birth anniversary of B R Ambedkar. The two leaders shook hands briefly but the warmth was clearly missing as Singh went about his business greeting others and later paying floral tributes to the portrait of Ambedkar. Singh was seen chatting with Vice President Hamid Ansari with a bemused looking Advani sitting between the two leaders. Advani has been attacking the Prime Minister calling him a "weak leader" in his campaign speeches for the Lok Sabha elections.

TODAY DALIT CONSTITUTE ABOVE 16 % OF INDIA'S POPULATION AND THE NUMBER OF SEATS RESERVED FOR SCHEDULED CASTE CANDIDATES HAS GONE UP FROM 79 TO 84

ISN'T THIS WAR OF WORDS BETWEEN THE LEADING PARTIES, SHOWING THE GROWING IMPORTANCE OF DALIT VOTES ?
