EXCLUSIVE | VIDEO: “For 10 years, I was not given an opportunity to meet Sonia Gandhi one-on-one. I was not given an opportunity, except once, of spending any meaningful time with Rahul Gandhi. And I have not spent time with Priyanka except on one occasion, no, two occasions. She comes on the phone to me, so I’m in touch with them. So, the irony of my life is that my political career was made by the Gandhis and unmade by the Gandhis. And I take it that this is what happens… I have got used to being out of the party. I am still a member of the party. I’ll never shift, and I will certainly not go to the BJP,” senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar told PTI in an exclusive conversation, as he recalled an instance when he had to call Priyanka Gandhi to wish Rahul Gandhi on his behalf. EXCLUSIVE | VIDEO: “…As I was walking out, I said Ma’am, Merry Christmas. And she says, ‘I’m not a Christian.’ Naturally, I was completely taken aback. But I think she does not see herself as a Christian. Like I don’t see myself as belonging to any particular religion. I am a non-believer, and I’m quite ready to say that. But, being a non-believer doesn’t mean I disrespect religions. What it means is that I respect all religions equally,” senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar tells PTI while recalling an instance when he wished Sonia Gandhi on Christmas and how she replied.

VIDEO | Here’s what author Ruskin Bond, who turned 90 on Sunday, said on people perceiving him to be a foreigner.

“They charge extra from foreigners for entering Konark (Sun Temple in Odisha). I said, 'I am not a foreigner, I am an Indian', but then to avoid an argument I paid extra. And behind me came a sardar ji, he had a British passport but they let him in. He wasn't charged extra because he didn't look like a foreigner.”

"When I was in London, I did have a very close relationship with a Vietnamese girl. It didn't come to anything. Time passed by and I never really felt that I could, in those days at least, have a family life. I was very much a lone ranger on my own until my present family became part of my life. Now, I am a family man without getting married."

VIDEO | @ 𝟒 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭: "They (BJP) will significantly add number of seats in eastern and southern India, and we would also see a huge jump in their vote share which is more important in states like Tamil Nadu. I had said this a year back that for the first time I see the BJP in double digits in Tamil Nadu in terms of vote share. They (BJP) will either be first or second party in Telangana which is a big thing. They will be number one in Odisha for sure. You would be surprised as, in all likelihood, to my mind, the BJP is going to be the number one party in West Bengal," political strategist Prashant Kishor (@PrashantKishor) tells @PTI_News.
