I have always gone to Kumbh, if you want, I can share the picture, the SP president said
Defending the INDIA bloc amid rift among the alliance partners, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav, said on Sunday that it is "unbroken and stands strong".
"Keep this in your mind, the INDIA alliance is strong and will remain strong. In the state where the regional party, which is strong against BJP, should be supported," he said.
Addressing a press conference here, Akhilesh Yadav claimed that the BJP would lose in the Milkipur assembly by-election. "They (the BJP) looted to win seven assembly bypolls. The matter also reached the Supreme Court," he said, adding that the policemen repeatedly pressed the button of the EVM machine.

Awaiting the grand finale
It is interesting for me to observe how conversation topics with my friends have evolved with our age. Before we reached retirement age our discussions focused on women/relationships, travelling to exotic places, our professional activities, children's future, debates about Obama's birthplace, sports, movies etc. In more recent years, the focus has shifted to health issues, social security benefits, reminiscing about life, existence of God, financial planning in old age and so on.
