The lead cartoon of the day is by Irfan and takes a jibe at Anna Hazare losing 3.5 kilos in three days due to his second indefinite hunger strike in New Delhi. Hazare’s doctor jokes that he had losing weight in 2013 itself – the year Arvind Kejriwal ‘betrayed’ Hazare and came to power with the Aam Aadmi Party.
Bhuvanan in his cartoon shows how crony capitalism has emerged after the state and capitalism merged. ‘Corporatism’ does not see welfare or people, but only ‘development’.
Manjul in Firstpost pokes fun at Amit Shah’s faux pas in Karnataka. Shah had called Karnataka’s former chief minister Yedyurappa the “most corrupt” recently. Manjul shows his statements outrunning Shah in the election race.
Keshav in The Hindu draws the aftermath of the alleged digital manipulation of elections by companies like Cambridge Analytica. Soon parties will promise their voters ‘organic polls.’
Sunil Agarwal and Ajit Ninan in Times of India shows the calorie-conscious individual, who only orders food based on calories rather than what they want to eat.
