Rahul
Gandhi to become Gujju
Undeterred
by his failure to woo the Uttar Pradesh voters, Rahul Gandhi is now
training guns on the upcoming Assembly elections in Gujarat.
The newly-appointed General Secretary of the All India Congress
Committee is scripting new ideas to revive the Congress and his
leadership claims in Gujarat. To begin with he is planning to speak
fluent Gujarati while on the campaign trail, so as to address the voters
in their own language.
Narendra Modi had during the UP elections used derogatory images and
language to refer to Sonia Gandhi’s Italian origins and had referred to
Rahul Gandhi being a hybrid calf whom he would not even employ as his
driver. Now Rahul's crash course in Gujarati-speaking will not just help
woo voters, but will also be an apt answer to all the times Modi has
raised the 'Italian' argument.
The party is also planning a strategy to project young Gandhi as one
with family roots in the land of Sardar Patel. Rahul's grandfather
Feroze Gandhi hailed from the state and spoke fluent
Ben
Kingsley to team with Aishwarya
The Taj
Mahal has fascinated people from all over the world. The love story of
the person who had this magnificent memorial built is equally
fascinating. Time and again people have tried to capture the romance of
Shah Jehan and Mumtaz Mahal on the celluloid. However, each generation
has its own genre and own interpretation of the lovers and their love
story and hence the desire of each of them to reinterpret it. Now the
man who won Oscar for the role of Mahatma Gandhi in Richard
Attenborough’s epic Mahatma has decided to make a film on the Taj. The
66 year old actor has decided to play the role of the Shah Jehan and is
casting Aishwarya, half his age, as Mumtaz. In recent years Aishwarya
has acted in a number of movies with international cast and has become
one of the most recognizable Indian in the world.
The
knock of the mid term poll
There is
no mistaking that the mid term poll for the Lok Sabha has already
knocked once on the doors of the political parties. However, it remains
a mystery as to why the Left parties have chosen to pull the rug now on
the issue of an agreement with the USA. There were many occasions when
it could have done that but it chose to back out after making noises on
matters that were very important to the common people of this country.
Instead of choosing EPF and a host of reforms that hurt the working
class it has chosen an issue that is likely to help industry and create
more employment opportunities. Baffling is the way of the Left.
Poll
time is Ram time
Now that there is a
possibility of mid term poll, the Sethusamudaram Project has come in
handy for the BJP as it has given it the opportunity to once again
demonstrate it devotion to Lord Ram. They remember it only too well that
the last time that they hysterically remembered Ram he was so pleased
that he allowed them to ride a Rath to power. The BJP leaders are now
hopeful of walking over the Ramsetu to the corridors of the north and
the south blocks in the national capital. Not surprisingly the Congress
is worried but then it must be remembered that this party often chooses
to hunt with the wolves and run with the hares. It dis it in 1989 and
seems to be doing the same now and falling in the BJP trap.
