Another 'migratory bird'

In February, a day before Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was to fly down to Punjab to address a series of election rallies, state Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal had said "seasonal birds" could be expected in the state as Assembly polls were round the corner. A month on, and in another end of the country, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi seems to have spotted another "seasonal bird". Last week, he described Bharatiya Janata Party's chief ministerial candidate, Sarbananda Sonowal, as a "migratory bird" for Majuli from where he is contesting the Assembly elections. At an election rally, Gogoi said: "While he is the son of Dibrugarh, Sarbananda migrated to Lakhimpur for the Lok Sabha poll. Then from there he is again migrating to Majuli. It is amusing to see his power-hungry politics."
