You need Congress to expose the many BIF groups in India and for plain entertainment. Losing Pappu in the helm of affairs will be very sad. :rotfl:

RG is tired of being accused of cong defeats. So he needs new scapegoat he can sacrifice after future defeats. He definitely can't continue to be accountable in public eyes. He is following pak army doctrine.

Some of the recent op-eds also gave the game away. One Suhas Palshikar responding to YY in IE, claimed that Congress was needed for the "fringe, radical elements" to "mainstream" themselves and their ideas.

https://indianexpress.com/article/opini ... p-5741245/
Yet, this Congress would have its uses in times of crisis of democracy. The Yogendra Yadavs, Prakash Rajs, Kamal Haasans and Kanhaiya Kumars, despite the goodwill they enjoy, need larger social acceptability beyond their immediate circles in order to be operational.

India’s democracy does not easily admit a liberal fringe or a radical liberal extravaganza. Nor is there enough space for an autonomous but healthy politics of “alternatives”. The politics of alternatives seeks to mainstream itself by changing society in the first place. Until society changes for the better, such politics has to piggy-back on political forces that occupy the mainstream. So, in seeking an end to the Congress, Yadav is probably undermining the feasibility of his own politics. This may sound an instrumentalist argument, but the politics of change also needs political support, a political vehicle, a sympathetic political mass. But beyond this instrumental logic, are there other reasons to plead for the survival of the Congress?
So it's very clear, the infiltration of the self-styled "goodwill enjoying" elements into INC will continue as they try and "mainstream" their "politics, alternatives and ideas".

Like Kulkarni, they will not confine themselves to Congress alone.

One may add regulating real estate and education. Ridiculous prices for both. Not worth the money as well. All the money ends up in some or the other politician.

The new education policy is set to be announced, hopefully it will tackle some of these concerns.

Real estate will require tweaking of many laws, FAR regulations etc.

Folks, having done a google search when it comes to Modi News, the Western media is completely ape with the same old story of Hindu nationalism and the next five years offering the usual insecurities to minorities. Off my head I tried to see if I could take on some of these arguments and bring a different sense of perspective to the Same ol Same ol..... Templated response of the Western media.

So here goes, tried to get it done rather quickly today.

Why the West has got it all wrong about Modi.

https://www.india-aware.com/featured/wh ... bout-modi/
For decades now India has been a victim or state-sponsored terrorism across the border with international countries who themselves have launched preemptive strikes lecturing India exactly the opposite. India has been on the global terrorism index top 10 for at least the last seven years since it first came out with thousands dying directly or indirectly. After the gruesome terrorist attacks involving the Army, Modi finally took the call to preemptively strike at terror camps across the border. Unfortunately, this act of self-defense has been labeled as Hindu nationalism, because as far as the Western media can remember India has been better placed to lie down and die in a Gandhian way.
In a country of over a billion people, it seems that they will inevitably be unfortunate people in the crossfire. However, it seems that the media when it comes to minorities is extremely selective. While it is unfortunate that such events do occur, we should try to remain logical in knowing that such events involving racism occur the world over. Such selective journalists the world over will often hide or just not be aware all gruesome killings involving Hindus, with the recent example of Dhruv Tyagi massacred with the butcher knife, being the latest example. Tens of Hindus have died over the last month especially secondary to religious violence in the states of minority dominated areas in West Bengal and even Kerala. The list sometimes seems to be exhaustive, but none of this is barely ever reported, yet the converse to smear Modi often is.
Modi may be a great Orator, and he may speak to Hindus with nationalistic spirit. Five years ago, He came with one of the largest mandates that democratic India has ever seen. Five years on he has broken his own record, not by negative intentions of creating disharmony but on the back of his own will to see that the disenfranchised, downtrodden and poverty stricken have something greater to look forward to.

Fortunately, the Indian voter has been able to see the distinction. He is not colored by the smear of “Hindu Nationalism”

We must not allow this to become a Prithviraj-Ghauri magnanimity moment. Family need to be ousted from the helm of affairs of the party. Even a 0.0001% chance of pappu being the PM some day is not at all acceptable.

Saar here is the fact of the matter:
Tejaswi Surya won his election by 3.3 lakh votes

Kanhaiyya "Tukde Tukde" Kumar lost his election by more than 4 lakh votes.

So who bulldozed whom ultimately?

SuSwa also looks and sounds aged, not very spontaneous, somewhat misspeaking such as calling triple talaq progress etc as "dividing the minorities". Overall, I think it is time for him to retire and especially stop talking on behalf of BJP. At best he can be a Governor for a NE state or a safe BJP-ruled state like GJ.

This is pretty much the same everywhere I believe. It was the same while I grew up in Gujarat where handful of muslims would easily kill and terrorize hundreds of Hindus. This was decades ago and now is lot worse. They could because even though they were handful, in matter of hours they can enlist others from various other towns and cities which something Hindus are incapable of. Even in those days, muslims could easily gather weapons and all Hindus would have was sticks. Police wouldn't do anything even with knowledge of how the script would play out step by step. If anything, I have seen police help muslims out by picking up aggressive Hindus but never muslims. With no aggressive Hindus, it was simply arrive kill Hindus and leave with no fear of even a scratch. For example, it wasn't that hard to stop incoming muslims from nearby towns. Mind you this was decades ago with handful muslims and now things are lot worse. My family since before the independence have been involved in helping families with children relocate out of the buffer zones so lot of it has been seen closely way too often. These sort of events has made me pro guns to level the playing field. When you know that you're going to die then at least you want the ability to take few with you.

Sorry there is no point in analyzing Al Jazeera here , and I for one won’t give them a click. Sabka vishwas has nothing to do with Muslims - the term vishwas and bharosa has been repeatedly stated by voters and he is simply affirming that he has heard them . The commonest theme of the election was that voters stated they had trust in Modi .

Aljazeera is nothing but a mouthpiece of the MB, Hezbollah, Houthis and the likes. Nobody in the Gelf even sees their channel. Post the blockade, their transmission has been blocked across the GCC.
