Just look at this cruelty and ruthlessness of the Maino clan. Even the worst critics of her could have imagined that she can go to this extent. WOW! Raman Singh could not have even dreamt it.

Must read tweet series: Sonia Gandhi and Ajit Jogi seem to have played a masterstroke in Chhattisgarh. 1/n
This would not even be the first time that Congress/Left politicians hve used their contacts to 'employ' the Maoists 4/n
as 'hitmen' to get rid of their political rivals.It routinely happened in AP & WB in the past 5/n
Please note:1)Jogi has always been very famous 4 being an out&out SGandhi sycophant & Nehru-Maino dynasty courtier 6/n
Karma & Shukla, had been famous for having their own local support base & rebelling against the High Command.7/n
In the late 1990s, Karma had broken away from Sonia Congress & joined Madhavrao Scindia's MP Vikas Congress instead.8/n
Similarly in the late 1990s early 2000s, Shukla had broken away from Sonia Congress on d issue of her foreign origin 9/n
joined with Sharad Pawar's NCP. Both later returned to Congress for their own opportunistic political reasons.10/n
Jogi decided to fly back by copter & didnt take the road route like other colleagues after the joint rally in Sukma11/n
& his closest advisors were d only ones to do so; rest entire Cong state leadership by road thru Maoist areas.12/n
of Jogi's closest supporters & tier-2 ldrs travelng by road such as Kawasi Lakhma miraculously survived d attack 13/n
All of Jogi's enemies & rivals in the convoy got killed.14/n
ONLY his intra-party enemies got eliminated while ONLY his intra-party supporters survived.15/n
In the faction-riven Chhattisgarh Congress, Jogi is considered a controversial figure. A number of powerful leaders, including Shukla, Mahant, AICC treasurer Motilal Vora, and the now slain Karma and Patel, were seen as hostile to him.
Both Shukla and Vora, old warhorses, constantly campaigned at the Congress’s Delhi durbar to keep Jogi out. But the attack has changed the power equations drastically.
In fact, both Sonia and Jogi long nursed anger and contempt towards Karma for establishing Salwa Judum 17/n
Shukla the prime rebel responsible 4 bringing down Jogi's govt & getting BJP elected in 2003 to a region 18/n
Patel had been groomed (by Shukla-Karma faction) over d past 5 yrs as Congress' CM candidate in the upcoming elexns 20/n
and therefore he was the Jogi father-son duo's primary rival for the CM position.21/n
Although Karma is being portrayed as d first & foremost target of d raid Patel & his son Dinesh were d real targets 22/n
