Matching wits!

The former strongman had a chance-meeting with senior top team member Maddu from Uwe at a recent funeral of a prominent personality. 

They were engaged in small talk for some time later found themselves discussing the upcoming big poll. 

While being on the subject, each appeared keen on knowing for sure the candidate to be fielded by the other’s party. In reply to Maddu’s question, the former strongman without naming anyone indicated that ‘Gota’ could be their candidate.  

Then it was the former strongman’s turn to put the question to Maddu: “Some of your people say that none but your leader himself will come forward. But some others maintain that the deputy will be your party candidate…Have you no idea as to who will really enter the fray?”

Maddu also avoided giving a direct reply to the question. He said: “I can tell you one thing for sure…Whoever our candidate is going to be, you can rest assured, he will be not be a candidate to your liking!”
