Dancer-activist Mallika Sarabhai, daughter of the space scientist Vikram Sarabhai and dancer Mrinalini Sarabhai, and an MBA from IIM-Ahmedabad, poses a few more questions for her worthy opponent from the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency, Lalchand Kishinchand Advani.
# Since when has ‘Mahammad Ghazni’ become a term of endearment in the lexicon of Sangh Parivar?
# By what method of accounting are you and the Congress able to conceal election expenditure?
# Is it true that Gandhinagar has suddenly become an unsafe seat for you and that you will contest from Jaipur as well?
# Did the money accepted by your party’s then President Bangaru Laxman come from a Swiss Bank account, or was it swadeshi black money and hence less tainted?
# If redistributed, the promised sops to Tata’s Nano project would amount to Rs.30,000 for each family living below the poverty line in the state to start a micro-enterprise. Will the project ever create that level of employment and prosperity for the people of Gujarat?

Thanks for reminding the election date.
I bet soon after polling, the candidate will miraculously forget all these issues and will remember only that she lost(if she loses, most probably she will) due to rigging and vote-buying tactics of BJP.
Name one big media source which cornered BJP and Congress(both support Salwa Judum and that idiotic law) about detention of Dr Binayak Sen!?
All they seem to care about is their freedom to make merry which does not matter if their merry(aka noise) making avenues are in residential areas or “sleepy” villages(village bums who don’t even pay income tax!).

mallika sarabhai has the advantage of the underdog — she has never held a position of public authority to be quizzed about. it is hard for lal krishna advani to debate with an unequal opponent of sketchy credentials. simultaneously, ms. sarabhai has little to lose by coming up with all sorts of questions.
nevertheless, it behooves mr. advani to address her questions promptly and in great detail. a test of leadership is how one treats the underdog. besides, after five years india is hungry for a good communicator, a verbally reassuring leader. so far in this campaign, mr. advani — still my choice for prime minister — has failed to impress.

dont you think this is a stupid thing ???
we are a democratic state not a communist state. If we go on thinking like that we can give thousand of lakhs to each one. The essence is not giving money to the people. We should make them earn money on their self. Never give a man a fish to satisfy his hunger, teach him to do fishing, he will lead a respectable life. Thats what all the people want and not the direct sympathy cash from the government ……..

I wonder what you see in these questions that they are deemed worthy of being published.
2. In any constituency one can pick up a dozen names of the poor and question the sitting MP.Does that make any sense ? Is any MP capable of removing poverty in his\her constituency ? Will Ms Sarabhai do that if she is elected?
3.Where did the sangh parivar use ” Mohammed Ghazni” as a term of endearment ?What is the background of this question ?
4.”By what method of accounting are you and the Congress able to conceal election expenditure?” No method of accounting is used by anyone to conceal expenditure. You just don’t include the expenditure in the books. One wonders what IIM A taught the good lady.
5.”Did the money accepted by your party’s then President Bangaru Laxman come from a Swiss Bank account, or was it swadeshi black money and hence less tainted?”… The question should go to Tehelka who paid the money.Who else can answer this ?
6.”If redistributed, the promised sops to Tata’s Nano project would amount to Rs.30,000 for each family living below the poverty line in the state to start a micro-enterprise.” What is the basis of this calculation? If the candidate wanted to challenge the project,wouldn’t it be better to bring out the full facts and start a debate rather than hide a statement in a question.Isn’t the resort to innuendo a sign of lack of confidence in facts? And if we handed over Rs 30,000 to every BPL family,can we seriously believe that they would all start micro enterprises and those enterprises would all flourish and grow ?
These questions will, rightly, remain unanswered.What they reveal about the calibre and character of the person putting the question is most depressing.
