Feb 11 2015 : The Economic Times (Mumbai) Secret Diary - Sobering Effect Likely on Modi Government Saubhik Chakrabarti of Narendra Modi... Strange day today... Woke up as usual very early and got that suit out...that very special suit...that suit is just so me...because I am on that suit On the basis of Amit Bhai's and Jaitley-ji's reports I had prepared a detailed plan for today... After all bazaru polls had been proved wrong and what's her name became Delhi CM, I had planned to go to Ramlila Maidan in that suit and give a speech...telling Delhi's citizens that under me, one day everyone can get a suit like that...with my name written on everyone's suit But that plan had to be cancelled... I called Amit-Bhai and Jaitley-ji...all of us agreed that the Delhi BJP unit must explain what happened today...obviously , it's not got nothing to do with us... Amit Bhai also told me I should ask for a committee to be set up and that committee should prepare a report that can be leaked to the media...that report will show we had nothing to do with the Delhi result...NehruGandhis do this very well in Congress, Jaitley-ji told me and we should learn from them...I was very pleased, as usual my two closest advisors have come up with very smart ideas... What about my suit...I asked both of them...strangely , they were a little hesitant...So, I asked my core PMO team...Modi-ji, why don't you order some mufflers, they told me...I was aghast...can I meet Barack in mufflers, I asked them...would I have got a standing ovation in Madison Square Garden in a muffler...or in Sydney...but they insisted... So, I called Jade Blue personally and told them to stitch some stylish mufflers...with imported cloth and may be stylishly monogrammed... But my core team...don't know what's happened to them...advised against it...Prime Minister, your mufflers must be from an ordinary shop, they said... Do you want me to give a speech wearing an ordinary muffler...do you want me to go to Parliament in a silly muffler...or go to China...or Britain...I am a world leader, I told them...world leaders don't wear ordinary mufflers...they wear stylish suits...and there's no suit more stylish than my suit, which has me on it...I told them... I thought I had convinced them...but no! At a second meeting...but wait, before that, something strange happened...I called all the secretaries of all major departments and asked them whether they were in office...but none of them was...extraordinary! Then Ajit Doval told me his Intelligence people had told him several secretaries had gone straight to golf courses...there were also reports that some of my ministers hadn't come to office till quite late...and that included the home minister and the foreign minister...what's happening?! But as I told Doval to conduct a thorough probe...especially on where Rajnath-ji and Sushma-ji had gone instead to coming to office...my core team asked for another meeting... O my god! My core team showed me 20 different mufflers and said they have picked them for different occasions...and that they will send me a Powerpoint presentation on this soon...they also said they have commissioned a hologram of me wearing a muffler and that they will start using that in Bihar soon...even in UP, one core team member said...and Bengal, said another...definitely Bengal, everyone said...Bengalis have thing for mufflers...so do Dilliwallahs, another said... I was going to tell my core team exactly what I thought of this muffler business when Doval called and said he had top secret information... I called him in and asked the core team to leave...and take the mufflers with them... Mr PM, Doval said, I know where Rajnath-ji and Sushma-ji have gone...where, I asked...to Advani-ji's house...Advani-ji's house!!! I was stunned...and Joshi-ji is also there, Doval told me... They are all wearing mufflers and chatting and laughing, Doval told me...but why , I asked...Doval said his Intelligence people haven't been able to figure that out as yet... Find out, I told him, and then I took out my suit again...that suit, that very special suit...that suit is just so me...because I am on that suit...

TOI picks some of the funniest Well, at least the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is a success Kamal ke phool pe jhadhu chal gaya aur 10 lakh ke suit pe muffler bhaari padh gaya (the broom swept away the lotus and the muffler trounced the 10 lakh suit) Kejriwal to take oath on Feb 14 -will Hindu Mahasabha get him married to CM's chair?

Why? No seats Two days after watching Baby, Kejriwal delivers Congress is happy. Last time it had 23 seats less than BJP, this time it's only 3 less. III. ***Indicating the mood, an Opposition leader told ET, "India has a history of a single by-election result changing the fortune of an entire Opposition looking battered and governments that appeared invincible. It happened when Sharad Yadav won a by-election from Jabalpur as a prelude to the formation of Janata Party against Indira Gandhi. Similarly , when an ousted Indira Gandhi won the Chikmagalur bypoll, it marked the beginning of her come-back and problems for the Janata Party . VP Singh's bypoll victory from Allahabad cemented Opposition unity against Rajiv Gandhi which led to his ouster soon.BJP decimation in Delhi within eight months after Modi regime took charge could similarly mark the turning point in national politics."** [Emphasis added.] An emboldened Opposition will try to counter the Modi-regime in the upcoming budget session, especial ly by blocking in the Rajya Sabha bills to replace the ordinances on land acquisition and FDI in insurance sector. Opposition parties plan to block the government's reform drive and take the sheen of the Modi regime away, and trigger debate within Sangh Parivar, while rein forcing Opposition unity in the com ing electoral battles against BJP .AFP Sensing the Opposition mood, sen ior ministers have hinted that the government was mulling a joint ses sion of Parliament for replacing the ordinances. The bill to amend the Right to Fair Compensation and f Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 -commonly known as the Land Acquisition Act -is the most contro versial and does not seem destined to see the light of the day in the near fu ture. Since the UPA government had passed the bill, Congress has opposed amendments to it on the grounds that it would make it antifarmer. Left parties too have been against it from the beginning saying it would favour industrialists. Dissenting voices within government, which were muted till now, are ikely to be heard in future. Three Union ministers have expressed reservations about the land acquisition bill and the issuance of so many ordinances. The government may also think twice before calling a joint session of Parliament in the wake of this electoral defeat as it would not like to be seen as riding rough shod to get its bills through. "Only four joint sessions of Parliament have been called since 1952. Moreover, not all pending bills can be pushed through in a joint session," a Rajya Sabha MP said, pre erring anonymity . Making matters worse for BJP are sections with the party and the Sangh Parivar who espouse the Hindutva agenda or have been generally opposed to the top-down approach of Modi and party chief Amit Shah.
