Third Eye: Sudden change in tone & tenor, no movement despite promise & BJP members thank Rahul

There has been a sudden and sharp change in the tone and tenor of AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal's tweets addressed to Delhi L-G VK Saxena. The party's thorny relationship with Saxena is well known. This is why Kejriwal's tweet, thanking Saxena for pointing out drain overflow at New Rohtak Road and Rangpuri Pahadi's drainage issues, has surprised people. In fact, Kejriwal went a step further and requested Saxena to point out such issues more often.

It has been a month since Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu gave a statement in the assembly, assuring action in the alleged bribery charges in 7,000 MW solar power project. But the government has not initiated any inquiry. Even as his ministers like Kollu Ravindra have promised SIT probe in rice scams that came to light very recently, there has been no movement on the US indictment charges despite Opposition Congress’ repeated attacks.

After its landslide victory in Maharashtra assembly elections, BJP-led Mahayuti is now trying to rub it in. Usually, when party functionaries become MLAs or ministers, they thank their own party leaders. However, BJP members did something different this time. They put up a massive hoarding, with a photo of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, and thanked Gandhi for helping them win. Looks like BJP is trying to hint that Gandhi’s utterances are making the party win.
