Scholarly dreams!

The name Dal Bahadur Kori might not ring a bell to many. He was — until recently — a staunch Congressman who completed his Class X in 2010 after being inspired by Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi. The 54-year politician was so enamoured by Gandhi that he had decided to finally become a graduate and join his team. However, it seems the plans to study further are not going to take shape, as the politician has switched to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in this election season. Kori had joined the Congress in 2007 from the BJP. Although he had not even completed Class X then, he was a minister in the Kalyan Singh government.
