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.

Today, I embark on a unique and memorable journey from the land of Somnath to the city of Lord Vishwanath.

Priyanka Vadra claims not to be in politics. She helps her mother and brother in their constituencies which she is entitled to. Yesterday, she commented that she was pained at the personal attacks on her husband Robert Vadra, who has been in controversy over the nature of his investments. Prima facie, it is the case of investments without original capital and an unprecedented return. There is obviously something much more than meets the eye.

As the campaigning closes down for the 24th April round of polling, the campaign would be over for almost more than 2/3rd constituencies in this general elections. 24th April will witness the largest number of constituencies going on to poll.

1984 will always go down as the year of bad memories. The massacre of innocent Sikhs following the assassination of Indira Gandhi remains a black spot on Indian democracy. The fact that the innocents can be killed in thousands is terrible. What is worse is that the guilty went unpunished.

The Lok Pal appointment controversy refuses to die. The UPA government has framed rules under the Lok Pal Act. The rules prima facie run contrary to the Act. This is already a subject matter of a challenge before the Supreme Court.
