Imagine Jaswant Singh as a Gurkha....hahaha...

Elections in India is always an interesting affair. It is a theatre of the absurd. So, chalk this one under that.

I believe Jaswant Singh, the former external affairs minister, who accompanied terrorists to Kandahar to release them in exchange for the hijacked Indian Airlines plane in Dec 1999, is standing for elections from the heart of Gorkhaland - Darjeeling. Yes, you got it right - a federal ministry from the largest democracy accompanied the terrorists and released them to put an end to the hijacking. That must constitute bravery. I bet the brave Gurkhas need someone as brave as Jawant Singh amidst them. Ahem...Or, maybe the BJP thinks Jaswant can develop some nerves of steel if he is amidst the Gurkhas.
