Third Eye: Amritsari kulche, matters of the tilak, and battles within the BJP

Amritsari kulche
Amritsar Lok Sabha MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla recently got special Chhole Kulche delivered from Amritsar by Shatabdi Express and invited MPs for lunch in Parliament complex. Several parliamentarians from different parties were seen rushing to relish the taste of the special dish.

Charcha begins with ‘tilak’ and continues
Khagaria Lok Sabha MP Rajesh Verma recently met SP’s Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan in MPs’ canteen in Parliament complex. They broke into conversation when Bachchan asked him about the ‘tilak’ on his forehead. Verma said he does it because of his religious belief. Bachchan then asked about his constituency and he spoke about Khagaria. Verma is an MP from LJP (Ram Vilas). His party leader and Union minister Chirag Paswan also wears a similar ‘tilak’.


Some BJP MPs are miffed
Several veteran BJP MPs want to discuss in Lok Sabha demand for grants of ministries and some of them are miffed with the party’s chief whip, Sanjay Jaiswal, for not giving them enough opportunity. As a result, some members are simply putting their speech on the table of the House to get it recorded.
