Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Sunday said he was a loyal Congress worker and anyone questioning his dedication to the party and the Gandhi family is in illusion. He also asserted that the party will come back to power in the 2028 Assembly polls. Shivakumar was reacting to speculation about his recent meeting with party central leaders in Delhi, and talks about in political circles, especially in the ruling party, about the chief minister change, later this year, under a «rotational chief minister» or «power-sharing» formula. «I have not put any condition on any one and there is no need to put any condition. I'm a Karyakarta, I work according to what the party tells me. Putting conditions or blackmailing is not in my blood.

Delhi and Udaipur. This being part of the ‘Golden Triangle’, the plane usually had a fair number of tourists, many from France. Seated somewhere near on the plane, I would hear them catalog the ways in which “this could be such a great place if only…”. In French, of course, oblivious to the possibility that anyone around would understand. While I seethed, my nationalist instincts primed. I wanted to ask them how much they paid for their room in a haveli near the lake, and three square meals among the bougainvilleas? Where else could they buy so much beauty so cheap? All that came back to me with the recent stories in the Economist and Le Monde on why India does so badly on tourism: India gets about 10 million foreign tourists a year, while France, a tenth in area and less than a twentieth in population, gets 100 million.
