AAP vs BJP in posters (Express Photo)

A day after raining blows on one another on the ground of the MCD House, the AAP and BJP discovered themselves within the midst of a notion brawl — by Bollywood-inspired posters. On Saturday morning, the posters, ostensibly supposed to impress one another, had been posted by every occasion on their social media handles. These sported pictures of leaders from the opposing camp photoshopped onto them.

While the BJP’s weapon of selection was 1993 Jeetendra and Jaya Prada-starrer Khalnayika, the AAP was fast to retaliate with its rendition of 1974 Shashi Kapoor and Mumtaz starrer Chor Machaye Shor.

In 2021, a 12 months earlier than she received the Nobel Prize for Literature, the hearsay mills had been on overdrive about Annie Ernaux’s odds of being conferred literature’s prime prize. Ernaux, who had lately turned 81, was stuffed with disquiet concerning the hypothesis. “I thought they are going to take away my old age from me now,” says the author, with slightly snicker.

A 12 months later, when she turned the primary French lady to obtain the prize, nothing modified and but all the things did. For one, it afforded her much less time to spend along with her writing — “In a few months, I think I will try and forget that I got the Nobel Prize”.

The boundary partitions and ceilings of a temple and a mosque located at Central Delhi’s ITO had been demolished by the Delhi government’s Public Works Department as a part of an anti-encroachment drive Saturday. The growth got here after a single choose bench of the Delhi High Court comprising Justice Prathiba Singh directed the PWD to hold out building to make a pedestrian pathway at Jheel Ka Piao at Mathura Road and ITO.
