Mishra Swoons

Who would have thought a week of near-constant press attention coupled with a hunger strike could be bad for your health? Kapil Mishra, who appears determined to pin every crime in India on Arvind Kejriwal, fainted before the assembled press. Some online suggested Mishra might have done better to watch videos of people fainting before attempting his own amateur effort. To be fair, Mishra did look peaky as he stood up after yet another passionate condemnation of Kejriwal. Brandishing a copy of a cheque, having accused AAP of failing to disclose funds and threatening to drag Kejriwal to jail by his neck, Mishra could barely raise a wan smile for photographers before swaying and crumpling gently into the arms of those around him like a swooning princess. A little dehydrated, said a phlegmatic doctor. He should be fit soon enough to resume his Twitter spat with Kejriwal’s wife.
