Arrow back in quiver
After a whirlwind campaign that received a mix response, TV serial’s ‘Rama‘, BJP candidate from Meerut, Arun Govil posted a cryptic tweet on ‘X’ on Sunday before deleting it and announcing that he is back in Mumbai on “party’s directions” to carry out responsibilities there. Govil’s deleted tweet in Hindi said: “When somebody’s dual face is revealed, one gets more angry at oneself than him as to how did one trust that person blindly.” The tweet set political corridors abuzz.
Savouring Aroma
BJP leaders in Belagavi district were thrilled when they learnt that the PM will stay in the city on Saturday before resuming his Sunday’s campaign tour. So, they made sure that the hotel where he stayed had 36 varieties of popular dishes, including north and coastal Karnataka delicacies. A few North Indian ones were also there. But the PM, who arrived at the hotel around 10.30 pm, had none of it. Insiders say he had a glass of tender coconut water and went to sleep.
Mission Namesake
