Delhi’s much-publicised Tulip Festival, promoted by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta as a chance for Delhiites to enjoy “Kashmir-like tulips” in the capital, reportedly wilted within days after over 5 Lakhs tulip bulbs worth nearly ₹2 Crores were imported from the Netherlands. By the time many residents arrived for the much-advertised selfies, large stretches of Shanti Path were already left with dried stems and empty flower beds.
दिल्ली के बहुचर्चित ट्यूलिप महोत्सव, जिसे मुख्यमंत्री रेखा गुप्ता ने राजधानी में “कश्मीर जैसे ट्यूलिप” देखने का मौका बताकर प्रचारित किया था, कुछ ही दिनों में मुरझा गया। नीदरलैंड से करीब 5 लाख ट्यूलिप बल्ब लगभग ₹2 करोड़ की लागत से आयात किए गए थे, लेकिन जब कई दिल्लीवासी सेल्फी लेने पहुंचे, तब तक शांति पथ के बड़े हिस्सों में सिर्फ सूखी टहनियां और खाली क्यारियां ही बची थीं।
With opposition parties preparing a no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and now reportedly planning to submit a notice seeking the impeachment of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, the political temperature in Parliament appears to be rising. Supporters of the move argue it is about defending institutional neutrality, while critics see it as escalating confrontation with constitutional offices.
