Win some,lose some

Poor Jaswant Singh obviously had no idea what all was in store for him when he first donned a Gurkha cap and descended on Darjeeling to contest the recent Lok Sabha elections. He won,but lost the perquisites of the Leader of Opposition in the Upper House in the process. Used to all the pampering and facilities that come with the job,the BJP leader from Jasol seems to be delaying a parting with them. He has told his successor Arun Jaitley that he would retain his room till the end of the session. Two,his staff would be working for Jaitley only on paper but would actually continue to be with him. Singh’s wish-list includes the retention of a South Avenue flat as guest accommodation.
