Will soon reveal my side of story, says Purohit
Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit slammed Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann after the CM launched potshots in the state assembly against Purohit. While addressing a press conference at the Punjab Raj Bhawan last week he quipped that he had to talk to journalists to tell his side of story if insults are unleashed against him, “I will preserve the constitution, he may get angry at me, I do not care. If he is studying in a school, then I have retired as the headmaster of that school. It does not bother me,’’ he said and added that he will test the skills of the journalists how the copy is written as subjects have been intermingled.

Shah’s security personnel arrange for water
At the recent rally of the Union Home Minister Amit Shah at Gurdaspur on completion of nine years of the central government rule, instructions had been given to local organizers to arrange water bottles of a certain brand for him. However, these could not be arranged from Gurdaspur, the party workers in Amritsar were sent a SOS to arrange for the same and reach Gurdaspur. They, too, failed to find that brand of water bottles.  After the rally, when the senior BJP leader asked for water following his speech, the organisers couldn’t provide one. Finally, his security personnel saved the day and fetched it from the stored stock in his helicopter parked nearby.
