From tea-stalls to drawing rooms, politics reigns supreme

New Delhi: Be it a Metro train or a tea stall, drawing rooms to restaurants, market gossip to office banter, politics has undoubtedly become the main topic of social conversation in a politically conscious India.With

"My mother had recently held a kitty party at our house. I seized that opportunity to convince some of her friends to vote for AAP. At one point, I had a heated discussion with my mother. But politics is like that..But I am sure I was able to persuade some her friends to vote for AAP," Tripathi told IANS.

Sanjay, a tea-stall owner at Palam in southwest Delhi, said with Modi's campaign called 'chai pai charcha' or discussion over tea, the humble outlets have become a hotspot to discuss politics.

"A tea-stall is one place where politics is one discussion that always happen. But it has become the symbol with Modi's campaign.

A tea-stall is also a place where one can judge the mood of the people. I can say at least in Delhi, many people will vote for AAP. I can't say who will become India's prime minister. But I am told that there is a Modi wave. I don't know..there could be. At least that is what the television channels are saying," Sanjay contended.

Architect Sandeep Rao said he lives in a joint family and his house these days matches the mood of the nation.
