Lok Sabha elections 2014: Poll Buzz of the day

There are so many Election Commission strictures, that by the end of the elections there will be more complaints than actual votes cast. The complaints that are pouring in are mostly trivial, some sheer nuisance. For instance the TMC on Saturday filed a complaint against Rahul Gandhi since there were school children present in his election meeting. Surely, Rahul Gandhi did not invite them. The implications are that they were shipped to the venue. Many candidates are complaining that they are scared of putting up posters since these are all photographed and compiled. In other votes elections are losing its colour and cacophony.

Shashi Tharoor, Bennett Abraham exchange barbs in Kerala

Many candidates do not remember all the cases they are involved in. But as soon as they become candidates the police is quick to bring out old files. This happened in the case of Left Front candidate Bennet Abraham who is taking on Shashi Tharoor in Trivandrum. An old case was raked up and Abraham went to court to get relief. The court said he should not be arrested till investigation is complete. The Left Front is demanding that instead an FIR should be registered against Tharoor for the mysterious death of Sunanda Tharoor.
