I think the CWC members wouldn't want that because it would mean the end of their cushy-comfy situations, by forcing them to make way for leaders with grassroots appeal.
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.
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.
Guys let's worry about them in second half of 2023. Let's look forward to what radical changes government can bring in such as GST, demo, surgical strikes etc.
News18 just cited cctv footage of that Gurugram skull cap incident confirming it was a fake propaganda. Apparently they have released news in their hindi version, no word in English.

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.
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.

Here is the link and clearly it was a minor altercation with no religious angel. Not to mention the eskimo was lying as usual.

Swarajya has a few suggestions in their latest writeup
Shoring Liquidity and Credit Uptake - PSB Recapitalisation
Tiding The Crisis of Confidence in Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs)
Cost Of Capital
Agriculture, SME/MSME and Real Estate Support
Labour Reforms
Make-in-India Opportunity
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.

He needs to learn more.. he is strong in content and attitude, but less exposure to handling urban naxals.
I saw a debate between him and kanhaiya after he was announced as candidate from BLR south.. frankly he was bulldozed by kanhaiya.
But neverthless.. i agree he is lambi race ka ghoda.. he can learn.
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.
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.
kudos to ritika bhattacharya of swaniti for projecting a positive image of indian women and modi sarkaar initiatives which led them to vote in large numbers
srinivas t also had positive message on economy banks npa demo gst etc
georgetown lady came up with outright lie that initiatives like toilets had not scaled amidst other usual fud

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.

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.
RG should go. If the family is no longer in control, the ecosystem will not be so keen to defend them anymore and they can be sent to prison. Congress party itself will break into a thousand pieces if family is not in control.

Land Acquisition Bill can finally be amended after 2020 I guess if NDA gets majority. Hopefully this year itself with support from others.
This Lassi shop is next to my paternal home. The sad part is all nearby shops are owned by Hindus but no one dared to interfere and pounce on attackers. There were women in the mob too.
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.
TN will say we central govt robs us of our tax, for each tax rupee collected, TN gets 40 paise only. TN memes gang is very cunning, whatever reason you present they'll twist it and play victim.
Any chanakian explanation of Modi's outreach to Muslims? What do we interpret from Sabka Vishwas (quite subjective)
quoting Al Jazeera cos this is how Gulf , London looks at Modi
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/05/ ... 36257.html
After landslide victory India's PM reaches out to Muslims, who fear they will continue to be target of Hindu hardliners.
usual suspects quoted in a Hinduphobic article
May be he has to do for some quarters. What explains giving MP ticket to Sadhvi Pragya? But I do hope he does something on things that matter, FCRA, amending discriminatory articles etc.
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.
Government invites BIMSTEC leaders for swearing-in ceremony on May 30
BIMSTEC includes countries of the Bay of Bengal region and seeks to act as a bridge between South and Southeast Asia.
Her facial expression is a sight to behold as people are shouting Jai Sriram to her.
I don't know if bjp was directly up to this, but if they were, kudos to them. It directly feeds into her paranoia and would lead to her making more mistakes.
Fake video Saar! It's an old video from February when she was talking to reporters. The expression worth watching will be when she shows up for the swearing in.
