I could not help but laugh this morning, reading how the Chief Minister (CM) of an Indian State Arunachal Pradesh defected from the Congress party with some 21 elected members to join a regional party supporting the BJP (opposition). In a way, the CM has 59 out of 60 seats in his support. This comes just 2 months after the Congress legally wrestled itself back in power with the Courts ruling in its favour. The State has seen a fair bit of political drama in the last few months, including the suicide of Mr. Pul, the person who became Chief Minister of the State for just a few days. I wonder if the drama is over?
Meanwhile, the politics in the State of Uttar Pradesh is getting fairly twisted too with Yadav senior and junior trying to assert "who is the Daddy" of the State. Will Akhilesh end up breaking away from his father's shadow and party, and align with Rahul Gandhi and his merry Congressmen in the State elections of 2017? Or, will Akhilesh's brave move motivate Rahul to do something similar? Such miracles are known to happen in politics, and for once BJP would be praying that it does not. Though, it would be praying of course that the water wars in the two southern States of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka play out in its favour.
Talking about the state of miracles, there may be a mega-miracle happening far away from our very own USI (Ununited States of India) in the nation of miracles called the USA.
The miracle of miracles that I am referring to is of course that all Trump supporters are praying for; Hillary will drop out of the Presidential race. Fighting Bernie Sanders then, will it be a cakewalk for Trump to the White House? I wouldn't advise the Trumpeters to open the bubbly as Sanders could be the one celebrating Woodstock in Washington. He has done the unexpected right thing by making friends with all Clinton supporters (by supporting her candidature of course), and there are plenty of Republicans who don't want Trump as President if Clinton is not the next best choice.
Finally, do I keep or chuck my Euros? Now, this question was posed to the Italians. The real ones, not the ones in India.
