You cannot fight against the future. Time is on our side.

Number of Members in Lok Sabha to go up ?

Presently capacity of the Lok Sabha is to accommodate 543 seats and the new Parliament building  under construction will have the capacity for 772 members. Does this mean the numbers of parliamentary constituencies will go up in the coming years?

Is Patnaik a source of inspiration for leaders like Kejriwal ?

Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik has no political ambition to join the national politics and he consolidates only in his state. Had he developed such ambition, Odisha would have gone out of his hands. His popularity can be judged from the fact that in the recent by-election to the Pipli Vidhan Sabha he did not campaign for the party but he won by a margin of over 20,000 votes. On the contrary, all the prominent leaders from the state, including the Union Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, and the national spokesperson, Sambit Patra campaigned for their party candidate.
