Many Congress supporters and commentators expressed their disappointment over the BJP’s decision to drop LK Advani from Gujarat’s Gandhinagar seat for 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
The veteran politician, who turns 91 Thursday, defines an era in BJP which saw it rise from a mere two seats in Lok Sabha to 282 in just a span of two decades.
If there is bad blood between the CEC and the Opposition leaders, it will shake the people’s faith in election results. It’s the worst thing that could happen to Indian democracy.
Indian toymakers are now exploring new markets, but they want govt to negotiate a trade deal with US soon, introduce incentives and subsidies to make the industry more competitive.
The deal, believed to be paid for by a third nation, will give the Sudanese Armed Forces access to light attack aircraft, engines, armoured fighting vehicles & unmanned aerial vehicles.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
Narendra Modi is a thankless man. Advani was the one who stopped Vajpeyi from dismissing Modi’s government after the Gujarat riots. That was 2002, and Mr Modi’s FIRST term as the chief minister. If he had got dismissed then, his entire political career would have folded up conclusively. He wouldn’t have got a chance to be a CM for three terms, and 2014 wouldn’t have happened. Mont Blanc pen in the pocket, other expensive branded items, umpteen foreign jaunts with all expenses paid and no questions asked – – nothing would have happened.
Gautam Gambhir will get a lok sabha ticket, but not Mr Advani. He has been declared dead before he is dead – – thanks to thankless Narendra Modi. Will Narendra Modi get paid back in his own coin? And very soon? That’s a million coin question.

It would not require the avionics and ISEs of the Rafale to sense the “ wind of change “. An ordinary windsock would be good enough.
