Third Eye: Sultanpur slip, proof is in the pudding and dropping a hint on UP CM

Sultanpur Slip
Uttar Pradesh minister and Nishad Party leader Sanjay Nishad was recently addressing a public meeting in Sultanpur for BJP candidate Maneka Gandhi. Throughout his speech he praised Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, with Maneka on the stage. At the end of his speech, a BJP MLA got up and pointed out the political blunder to Nishad, who corrected himself instantly.

Dropping a Hint on UP CM?
During a public meeting in favour of his son Karan Bhushan Singh, BJP candidate from Kaisarganj, Brijbhushan Sharan Singh addressed Uttar Pradesh minister AK Sharma, who was also on the stage, as ‘yashashwi mukhya mantri’ (chief minister of the state). The crowd was naturally shocked. But this has now become the talk of the town: “Has Singh dropped a hint about a possible change?”


Proof is in the Pudding
Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde faced an embarrassing moment during a road show in Thane for Shiv Sena candidate Naresh Mhaske. One of the party supporters near his vehicle kept shouting that ‘they are with Uddhav saheb’. Whether the sloganeering was amistake or whether it was a ploy by the Uddhav Thackeray faction is not known. However, Shinde and Mhaske quickly realised what was happening and put an end to it. The footage went viral, with the Thackeray faction claiming that this was a proof that Shinde’s own people in Thane are not with him.
