Warm-up exercise

Newto’s law— every action has an equal and opposite reaction— is taken rather seriously in politics. Before war of ballots in Punjab,Congress and Akali Dal-BJP alliance leaders are warming up with war of wits. Sample this: Punjab Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh rubbishes Deputy CM Sukhbir Badal’s poll plank,development. Sukhbir asks him to list five achievements during his tenure as chief minister. Capt releases a list of 51 and asks Sukhbir to match up. Some more? Captain ridicules new sand mining policy as an attempt to continue monopoly of the sand mafia. Local Government and Industries Minister Tikshan Sud soon diagnosed it as symptom of hallucination and panic in the Congress president. Things can only get further heated up from here. Watch this space.
