The country will “resoundingly cure” the nation’s “political sickness” by showing the door to the BJP, the author-politician said, referencing the khichdi , a dal-rice-vegetable mix viewed as a recipe to counter all kinds of ailments that has become an oft-used metaphor in political discourse.
He said there would be a new coalition government at the Centre with the Congress as its fulcrum come May 23 when the Lok Sabha poll results will be out.
