What impression did you form of Mr. Dhesi?

He’s a Labour politician, so he needed to score a few points off the Tory PM. It so happens that the Tory PM has been describing niqab wearing Muslim ladies as resembling bank robbers and postboxes. BoJo’s ex wife is of course half-Sikh and he has just appointed three Hindu cabinet members.

The only electoral hope for both the Tories and Labour is the 8% peaceful population. Both will pander to this section as ardently as possible. Rudra-ji, situation is a bit more nuanced than that.

Bhaskar_T: ask yourself a question? If you have 75 F-16s (assume all fire AMRAAM), would you take on a force of 250 Su-30 MKI, 50 Mirage 2000, 60 MiG-29, etc. The border is 3,000 km + long and you have to fight 24/7. How long can you keep it up? Sooner or later you are keema nan, right?

Vote shares will not transfer perfectly. What I was trying to show was that between 2014 and 2017, the BJP lost popularity in UP. Some of that might have to do with demonetisation.

No. The FBI inquiry was opposed by GOP, but they reluctantly agreed, as Flake would have killed the nomination in the committee itself. Sen. Murkowski will also vote against BK. BK is toast, just like he said so himself yesterday.
