New Delhi: Months after Pratibha Patil forgetting she is the President of India and a week after Shashi Tharoor forgetting his twitter password, UPA's Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh yesterday followed the trend. Clarifying his shocking remarks, made in Beijing, against his own government's China policy, he said: "I was not me. I seriously thought I was Digvijay Singh, yet again criticising Chidambaram. Jairam Ramesh, as a creature or concept, didn't exist in my mind then." Insiders didn't overrule minister's favorite BT-Grass as one of the reasons for such hallucinations.
The Home Ministry, alleged to be alarmist towards chinese companies by Jairam Ramesh, came out with a strong denial video in which P. Chidambaram kept shaking his head for 10-minutes. Later, an official clarification from the secretariat read: "We have recently installed China-made alarms in the Home Ministry offices. Probably that's what Mr. Jairam Ramesh meant."Though Jairam Ramesh is a high-profile minister, and the allegations are serious, the UPA top brass is not worried. "We have been ruling for just last 60-years. We are learning", said Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi.
Meanwhile, Indian T-20 team succesfully bowed out of T-20 World Cup in West Indies, giving the fans much needed time to sleep, wash and follow Sachin Tendulkar on Twitter.
