Two giants trailing

By Prasanta Baruah |

Two giants are trailing behind AAP candidates as the counting of votes for the Delhi assembly polls are in progress.

BJP’s chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi has been trailing behind AAP candidate in the Krishna Nagar area while Congress CM hopeful Ajoy Maken has no chance in Sadar Bazar area.

Bedi said that any defeat should be a reflection on her, and not on the Modi government.

After the Capital voted in assembly elections for the second time in 14 months, exit polls predicted on Saturday the AAP led by Arvind Kejriwal was set to return to power, in an outcome that is likely to have national ramifications.

Accompanied by a forest guard our seven seater jeep gradually moved inside the sanctuary. Much to our excitement, we came to spot four rhinos grazing beside a hard of wild buffalos in the...
