she's lusting after TRPs and craves peer recognition.

To be frank no person generally wants to go any where near a police station or court. Especially Hindu middle class. This person may also have limited social network, and thus may not have connects with pro-Hindu advocates etc. In many other places I have seen very pro-Hindu advocates who have made the state police (and the seculars) run for cover.SinghS wrote:This is the problem of Hindus.

. I must admit the commie quality on doing propaganda. Goebells, Pravda all will appreciate this skill of KL commies. In the recent times the Hindi v/s other languages issues are always highlighted by non-Hindi speaking states. The central government has not made any major changes regarding Hindi and other official languages. Nothing is added new, nothing is removed. But certain South Indian states (mainly TN) is now trying to make a non-existent issue to some thing big, and then hope to hit at Central Govt under the BJP. In 1950s the push to spread Hindi far & wide was there and it was mainly done by Bandit-ji and Congress party.shravanp wrote:Barkha dutt stoking language flame.

. Looks like another political experiment is now started in Punjab. I feel that central government would just allow this to play out in full extent, and perhaps only step in when things go 'international'. Keep the borders strongly guarded, but then allow AAP to stew in its own juices. AAP may encourage Khalistanis, and like a Frankenstein monster they will turn back against the AAP. Mean while BJP can focus on other states, get in the farm laws in another ways and hit back at the farmer broker gang.RSatchi wrote:Was just wondering this would start with the Paapi Gobermint

The campaigning in Gujarat has begun. It has to be seen what doles Kejri maharaj will promise there. The primary template for the opposition parties in 2024 will be to once again weaponize the leftists' favorite section of the society , i.e. minorities, women, workers, students and farmers + announce bigger and bigger freebie program. The mobilization of the first flank will be through hartals and riots, the second flank will be to bankrupt the states they currently hold and blame it on the center.
The announcement, one of a number of the party’s poll promises, was made in a video message by chief minister Bhagwant Mann on April 16, marking the completion of one month of the Arvind Kejriwal-led party’s new government in the state.
Mann also said that backward caste and below poverty line (BPL) households, as well as those of freedom fighters, would also get the 300 free units. Until now, these categories get free electricity up to 200 units.
The scheme mirrors the one in Delhi where the AAP government provides free power up to 200 units to domestic consumers and a Rs 800 rebate to those consuming between 201 and 400 units per month. CM Mann had met his Delhi counterpart and party chief Kejriwal on April 12 to discuss the scheme.
On June 29, Kejriwal had announced in Chandigarh that the AAP government would provide free electricity up to 300 units, waive all pending bills and ensure 24-hour electricity in Punjab if it were to come to power in the state.
“Punjab produces electricity but the tariffs are most expensive here. We do not produce electricity in Delhi and yet the electricity rates are cheapest. This is because there is a nexus of the Punjab government with the discoms (power distribution companies). We have to break this nexus like we did in Delhi to ensure we have the cheapest electricity rates here as well,” Kejriwal had said then.
Some nine months later, AAP swept the Punjab elections bagging 92 of 117 assembly seats.
Punjab has a two-month billing cycle for electricity supply. This means 600 free units of power will be distributed over a two-month billing cycle beginning July 1 for general consumers. But if the consumption exceeds 600 units in two months, a consumer from a general category has to pay for the total power consumption.
For households under the scheduled castes, backward castes, BPL and freedom fighters’ categories, if the consumption is more than 600 units in two months, they will be charged only for the units exceeding 600.
The benefits
Punjab has about 73.8 lakh domestic power consumers, according to the Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd (PSPCL). Of these about 62.25 lakh consume up to 300 units of electricity per month. The remaining 11.55 lakh households consume more than 300 units a month and hence will be out of the ambit of the scheme. This means AAP’s free power scheme is expected to benefit about 84 per cent of Punjab’s domestic consumers who will not be paying any electricity bills, if the fixed charges are also waived.
The cost
The power subsidy bill for 2020-21 was about Rs 10,668 crore, according to government officials. Of this Rs 7,180 crore was spent as subsidy to farmers. The new government is considering a proposal to exclude the state’s big farmers from its electricity subsidy scheme, according to reports.
The free electricity scheme will mean the state exchequer will have to bear a total annual subsidy to domestic consumers of Rs 5,500 crore, including existing subsidies. At present the state bears an annual subsidy bill of Rs 3,998 crore for domestic consumers. This includes Rs 1,657 crore for 200 free units to 21 lakh scheduled caste, BPL and backward caste households and Rs 2,341 crores for electricity charged at Rs 3 per unit less than the normal rates for various slabs covering about 64 lakh households with a load of up to 7 KW. The free electricity up to 300 units scheme is expected to add around Rs 1,502 crore to the subsidy bill.
The impact
The scheme will reportedly alter power consumption in Punjab where it varies based on season. Consumers who until now consume less than 300 units will not worry about expenses up to that limit, and hence increase consumption. Some households that consume more electricity will try to limit their consumption to avail the benefits up to 300 units a month and thus lead to a decrease in consumption.
What remains to be seen how the government will manage the additional subsidy burden. The government already owes PSPCL about Rs 7,000 crore, according to a recent report. Also, the corporation has been raising loans against its assets to meet its needs. At present the corporation has outstanding loans of Rs 17,500 crore
The Delhi model
In Delhi, the Kejriwal-led government is likely to spend about Rs 3,250 crore in 2022-23 on subsidies to households that consume 400 units of electricity every month. This goes to subsidise power consumption of over 43 lakh households in two categories, those consuming up to 200 units a month and those consuming 201-400 units.
While around 27.7 lakh households that consume up to 200 units pay nothing, another 15.5 lakh households that consume between 201 and 400 units pay 50 percent of the bill with a subsidy amount cap of Rs 800 per month

Good point and esp true when it comes to the Modi-shah Nagpur model camp-followers (like whatshisname in GJ, khattar in HR etc).When did BJP not use the H-tva word whenever they are in opposition? We all know what happens once they win elections, don't we?

Will this still be the option of Nitishwa as PM with Congi support from outside( all and sundry supporting from within)
If he gets Nitishwa as PM then he can be the real power behind the throne
You would be surprised. Some colleagues of mine have relatives and extended families in these states. Even though they themselves claim they would not vote AAP in mumbai they admit their families/relatives have voted for them with reasons like a) freebies b) teach the incumbents a lesson c) others are doing it anyway d) so long as the center is safe let's vote for whoever gives freebies locally....chetak wrote:...

You are thinking too much sir. The guy has been trying his luck in politics unsuccessfully for a while. He is back at it again as he has ambitions and has earned money. Unlike Kejriwal who spent a lot of his time in grass root level work especially in slums and unauthorized colonies of Delhi before he came to limelight, this guy has done nothing. He also has no real and big movement like IAC giving him a ride.chetak wrote:who is this guy and more importantly, who are the guys behind the curtain...Rsatchi wrote:https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/prashan ... v_bigstory
