It was one slip of tongue too many when Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee addressed an election meeting in Korba, Chhattisgarh.
The first occurred when he asked the people to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party in the two Lok Sabha seats in the state, but immediately corrected himself and said the state had 11 seats.

Vajpayee said Shukla was indeed a good worker. "See I have forgotten her name," he said and promptly went on to appeal to the people to elect her to the 'Rajya Sabha'.
However, aides came to his rescue and reminded him that the April 20 polls were for the Lok Sabha and not Rajya Sabha.
At one point of time, Vajpayee referred to the Janjgir constituency as 'Jehangir' but it went unnoticed.
