'Pakoda politics' still on; impasse in Houses of Parliament continues

Neither of the two Houses of Parliament could transact any business for a third day in a row.

More on pakoda politics

Looks like pakodas are the newest symbol of pride, protest and polemics. Haryana Congress MLAs held a protest this week by selling pakodas from a rehri (cart) on a road near the state Assembly complex and tore into the Centre and Haryana government's track record in employment generation. Unperturbed, state Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar bought some pakodas from the protesting MLAs and “appreciated” the fact that people who had become unemployed, had finally found work. “If someone is getting employment by selling pakodas, that's a good thing,” he said.
