Happy New Year Mitron!

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to address the nation this evening, and according to reports, is expected to spell out the post-demonetisation roadmap.

This will be his second address to the nation since his announcement to scrap 1,000 and 500 rupees notes on November 8.

While announcing the landmark decision, he had asked the people to give 50 days for demonetisation and getting accustomed to a cashless economy. @pgurus

Angry Bird leaves the Nest.

The ruling Samajwadi Party seemed to hurtle towards a split just before assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh after Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav defiantly released a list of candidates for seats already allotted by his father and party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav to others on Thursday night. His list of 235 candidates includes several party leaders who are close to Akhilesh and who did not make it to the party's official list announced a day before by Mulayam Singh Yadav. The rebels said they have been asked by the chief minister to go back to their constituencies and prepare to contest the elections. @pgurus

Is there a reservation quota for corruption?

The BSP chief had insulted Dalits,  BJP's Ravi Shankar Prasad in a swift counter-attack. "Will your corruption be hidden in the name of Dalits?" said, also asking whether the huge amount of money deposited in her party's bank account was a "money conversion exercise."

Sources in the Enforcement Directorate have said that around 104 crores were deposited in a Union Bank account belonging to the BSP in the seven weeks since PM Modi banned 500 and 1,000-rupee notes to combat corruption and black money. At the same bank, 1.43 crores were reportedly deposited in the account of Ms Mayawati's brother, Anand Kumar, sources said. @pgurus

Only Dr Swamy can teach this kid a lesson...

The Metropolitan Magistrate on Monday dismissed BJP leader Subramanian Swamy’s petition to seek documents from government departments and the Congress in the National Herald case. 

However, the Court asked Swamy to file the list of witnesses and gave him opportunity to file “appropriate” petition for summoning documents again during the trial, while terming his dismissed petition as “fishing inquiry” and trying to widen the scope of the case. @PGurus 

How to get TRP

Rahul Gandhi is apparently copying Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal’s political style. A month after Kejriwal made sensational bribe allegations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi Assembly, Rahul made the same allegation today in Mehsana, Gujarat. Rahul claimed that PM Modi received Rs 40 crore as bribe from the Sahara group over a period of six months.

Rahul’s allegation against Modi looks more like a political gimmick as he has not tried to approach any court on the issue for action against the PM. @PGurus 

Jallikattu In Tripura

The Tripura Assembly on Monday witnessed a bizarre scene during the house proceedings as a TMC legislator ran away with the Speaker's mace, stalling legislative business.

The incident occurred while the members were debating heatedly about the alleged "womanising" issue involving ruling CPI-M leaders.

The Congress and Trinamool Congress legislators had approached the Speaker's podium and started sloganeering against Forests Minister Naresh Jamatia.

All of a sudden, TMC MLA Sudip Roy Barman seized the Speaker's mace and ran away with it outside the house abruptly putting a halt to the proceedings.

Coming Soon... Nautanki in UP...
