Background check

It's been barely a week since V Balakrishnan, former chief financial officer of Infosys, joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). So when the March 11 edition of a daily had photographs of him with his family and the facade of the information technology giant's Mysore campus in the background, several people wondered whether the objective was to remind potential voters of his background in the IT industry. Balakrishnan is contesting the Lok Sabha elections on an AAP ticket from the Bangalore Central constituency.
