The forum of parliament serves as a battle-field for the ruling and the opposition parties. Some of the most controversial issues come up for discussion on the floor of each House. Sometimes, debates lead to heated exchanges and more. In such situations, wit, repartee and humour constitute potent weapons in the armoury of seasoned parliamentarians and play a salutary role in cooling down tempers.
The book presents some of the most interesting anecdotes from the parliamentary portals-about parliament and parliamentarians-alongwith cartoon illustrations. The author, Dr. Kashyap and the cartoonist, Ranga both did watch from close quarters politicians and parliamentarians perform.
The book is bound to be read with interest and provide pleasure and joy to one and all.
