Yesteday was Polling Day in Amritsar. Having spent past six weeks in Amritsar campaign in this heat, it will be time for me now to move to other states where elections are still being held. An integral and enjoyable part of the stay in Amritsar is obviously the food in this city. I have always regarded Amritsar as the Food Capital of India.

Dr. Farooq Abdullah’s statement that those voting for Narendra Modi would drown themselves into sea deserves to be condemned by all. This demonstrates Dr. Abdullah’s contempt for the majority opinion. Farooq Sahib believes and rightly so that India is secular and will not accept communal politics.

The Congress Party is at odds. It is unable to accept the harsh reality that it is going to be reduced to a two digit party. A two digit party must reconcile to this reality and plan for the future. After all there is no last day in the calendar of politics.

Narendra Modi addressed rallies in Punjab. Accompanying him were the Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and the State BJP President Kamal Sharma. Each of these rallies was extremely well attended. The enthusiasm at the rallies, coupled with large attendance, was a give way. The Modi’s visit to Punjab is a game changer.

Narendra Modi’s filing nomination at Varanasi witnessed a sea of humanity accompanying him in the road show prior to his filing the nomination.

I have spent past five weeks extensively campaigning in Amritsar. Campaigning in constituency besides developing your political relationships also brings an emotional integration between you and the constituency.  A question that frequently comes in to my mind is what will I eventually do for this constituency.
