'Sunday, July 22, 2018': New Delhi, July 22: Former Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram on Sunday said that the decision to slash GST rates on 100 mass-use items was taken keeping upcoming assembly elections in mind. "When elections are around the corner, government cuts rates. I suppose that makes a good case for frequent elections in different state!" he said on Twitter. Terming the decision "belated wisdom", he questioned why it was not taken earlier. "GST Council cuts rates on 100 items, approves quarterly returns. Belated wisdom. Why did Government not follow our advice in July 2017?" he said. Assembly elections are due in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram later this year.

Mumbai, July 21: Congress President Rahul Gandhi's 'jaadu ki jhappi' moment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the parliament drew mixed reactions from the Indian film fraternity, who found the "theatrics" worth a comment or two. Filmmaker Ananth Mahadevan tweeted: "No wonder Indian theatre audience is diminishing. We are no match for Parliament performances." Gandhi on Friday surprised the Lok Sabha when after bitterly criticising the BJP-led government during the no-confidence motion, he walked across and hugged an unwilling Modi. To top that, he also winked at Modi -- reminding the Twitter world of actress Priya Prakash Warrier who became a 'national trend' with her mischievous smile and wink in a song from Malayalam film "Oru Adaar Love".
