Jaitley146;s blushes

Commerce Minister Arun Jaitley has become an icon of sorts in this part of the world what with his activism on rich vs poor and mobilising a developing countries8217; brigade. In fact he has been the centre of attention for the foreign media who have been running around to get a sound byte or an interview with the articulate Indian minister. But the cake was taken when a foreign correspondent went up to Jaitley and instead of asking him a question told him that he had conquered the WTO, Jaitley blushed and found himself completely tongue-tied.

Slogan collection

Journalists covering the WTO sessions have decided to work on a compilation of one-liners against the rich, developed countries. Over the last few days, one has heard so many slogans here like 8216;8216;US-EU corporate greed, undermining the farmers needs,8217;8217; or 8216;8216;Globalise hopes, not trade8217;8217; and the like. Maybe they could help political parties who have run out of ideas to please the masses and new slogans could help them in the forthcoming elections.
