Apparently the government in UP somehow is threat to democracy, because Yogiji is in power. Exactly what it is so j had not been explained but just some hand waving about Hindutva etc.

Looks like the lapdogs of Congress are concerned about Yogi. Never saw such articles during Behenjis time or Mulla Yadavs time…

[Sicanta]

Because he has shown his administrative acumen in last 20 days or so after getting out from covid quarantine. He has visited 47 districts in last 18 days. Even today, he visited lakhimpur before going to rural lucknow areas of malihabad and kakori. UP has definitely turned around a corner.

And apart from that, he ruthlessly pursues the criminals, outside and inside the political arena.

[chetak]

The cat has been set among the pigeons.

A very clear and unmistakable warning shot across the jat bows

There seem to be extreme reactions among the jats to this dalit desire, considering that dalits may well be in the majority among the electorate in punjab, and so, if push came to shove, it's off to the muslims for support.

The dalits have as many rights as any other in punjab to stand for elections to any post that they desire.

Ex Sarpanch arrested in Bathinda village for holding prayer for PM Modi, wishing for a Dalit CM


Ex-sarpanch held for holding ardas for the appointment of a Dalit as next CM of Punjab (source: Jagran)

Punjab police have arrested the pathi of a gurdwara at Bir Talab village in Bathinda district on May 20 (Thursday), after he welcomed BJP’s decision to project a Dalit as the Chief Minister candidate of Punjab in the 2022 Assembly poll. In a special Ardas (prayer) he offered in the Gurudwara, Gurmel Singh Khalsa prayed for PM Modi’s long life and backed BJP’s reported decision to project a Dalit as CM candidate in the upcoming Punjab Assembly elections.

As per a report in Jagran, the Punjab police initiated action against him after a video of him went viral where he is heard offering prayers at the Gurudwara. A lawyer named Harpal Singh Khara reportedly lodged a complaint against Gurmel Singh Khalsa accusing him of hurting religious sentiments by batting for a Dalit face as the next CM.

Gurmel Singh Khalsa is the former sarpanch of Bir Talab and the husband of Rajpal Kaur, the present sarpanch of Bir Talab village in Bathinda.

In his ardas, Khalsa said being a member of the Dalit community, he wished the next Punjab chief minister should be a scheduled caste. He lauded BJP for its decision to project a Dalit as a CM candidate in the upcoming elections. He also offered prayers for the release of jailed Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh saying he was a victim of a political conspiracy.

Khalsa hurt religious sentiments by batting for a Dalit CM, the complainant said

The complainant said Khalsa’s conduct hurt the sentiment of Sikhs and strict should be initiated against him. He also demanded action against the Bir Talab gurdwara management committee for allowing Khalsa’s address at the shrine.

Senior superintendent of police (SSP) BS Virk said a case was registered under sections 295A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) of the Indian penal code. “A team will probe the role of other persons named in the complaint,” said the SSP.

BJP writes a complaint to National Commission for Scheduled Castes condemning Punjab police’s arbitrary action

Meanwhile, BJP state secretary Sukhpal Sra condemned the arbitrary action taken against Khalsa by the Punjab police and wrote a complaint to the National Commission for Scheduled Castes that Khalsa was targeted for supporting a Dalit attaining more political power in Punjab.

Twitter has put 'media manipulated' tag on Sambit Patra's tweet regarding toolkit. As per usual, GoI has issued a notice to twitter asking them to remove the tag, saying law enforcement is investigating the case. This after a long line of hostile actions against even Gov bodies like suspending J&K lt. Gov. handle.

If they can via RBI take actions against financial service heavyweights like Visa and Mastercard, they can certainly initiate action against twitter now then wait for important elections to come up and allow twitter and likes free run.

It is a foretaste of things to come in the run up to and during the 2024 elections.

unless jack on crack is legally shot down now, both he and f(ukerberg will do this to sabotage the Indian elections just like they sabotaged trump's election.

enough of pious protestations. kick all these jokers in the nuts and tax them heavily while they are operating in India

visa and mastercard, just like jack on crack and f(ukerberg were/are trying to dictate terms and muscle in on the Indian markets on their terms.

Time to show them who's the boss, and this is best done sooner rather than later.

The congi toolkit in play

[Sicanta]

It is a foretaste of things to come in the run up to and during the 2024 elections.

Look at the coverage of toolkit incident. In electronic print media, only republic has covered it, apart from OpIndia and Swarajya and as of now latter can't be quoted as 'proof' for the neutral public. Offline, even major vernacular newspapers have not covered it properly. So in essence trying to paint it as a lone/non-issue/fake issue that BJP is raising for its own advantage. Aaj Tak had a discussion over this where sambit patra was invited. Instead of discussing the issue at hand or that Congress had atleast confirmed the veracity of Central vista toolkit, the anchor was more interested in Twitter putting up 'manipulated media' tag on sambit patra's tweet and how it questions the very essence of BJP's case as if twitter is the final arbiter of truth and false in the country.

What they are doing is blackout/sensor the real news and instead present it in a way that makes BJP's case appear weak by quoting each other as a proof. Paint those which don't play by rules as BJP's pets. And BJP is being played solidly by all of them.

The BJP did not support dornob goswami and he proved publicly that he is a combative guy who is more than willing to go out on a limb.

It tamely allowed the MVA to walk all over this guy, his staff, and his channel and even today it has not retaliated.

who do these BJP guys think is going to fight for them and die because of fighting for them.

"dharmic" people fighting in a dharmic way but not dharmic enough to keep their warriors safe.

Look at the mumtaz has fought, not caring for the press, the courts, the central govt and spitting on the constitution. Today she is swaggering around yanking Modi's chain.

who do these dharmics think is going to line up for them, come their next battle

twitter has openly taken the woke congi side.

it is best to strike when the world's attention is diverted with corona and gaza.

Pin drop silence from the dharmics.

These are the people behind middlemen covid deaths...now the count will increase unfortunately. It appears - Asymptomatic ailments dont scare people easily.

1. Politicians who can give foot massage machines, biryani and pizza for the farmers but not covid tests and vaccinations

2. Middlemen leaders who claim covid is everywhere anyway so why bother with tests and vaccinations

3. Judiciary system that can order o2 cylinders and preserve the right for protest but cannot enforce safety on testing, vaccination etc. Theatres and malls can be closed down but street theatre is important for democracy

4. Everyone supporting middlemen right to protest even if people are dying...martyrs are always needed for any cause right?

5. Pundits who discuss MH strain vs Singapore strain etc. Why bother with tests or vaccinations?

Government Asks Twitter To Drop 'Manipulated Media' Tag on Sambit Patra's Congress ‘Toolkit’ Tweet

Government Asks Twitter To Drop 'Manipulated Media' Tag on Sambit Patra's Congress ‘Toolkit’ Tweet

In language reminiscent of the Trump administration’s threats against Twitter last year, the Centre says Twitter’s legal status as an intermediary might be called into question if it does not accede to official demands

2 HOURS AGO

New Delhi: The Union government has objected to Twitter labelling as “manipulated media” a tweet containing screenshots of a purported Congress ‘toolkit’ by BJP chief spokesperson Sambit Patra, saying that the matter is pending investigation before a law enforcement agency and amounts to the company prejudging the outcome.

“The Ministry of Electronics and IT has written a strong communication to the global team of Twitter, registering its objection to the use of ‘manipulated media’ tag on certain tweets made by Indian political leaders with reference to a toolkit created to undermine, derail and demean the efforts of the government against the COVID-19 pandemic,” an unidentified ministry source was quoted by PTI as saying.

“Such a tag by Twitter appears to be pre-judged, prejudiced and a deliberate attempt to colour the investigation by local law enforcement agency”, the sources said and added that the ministry had termed such unilateral action by Twitter as an effort to influence the fair investigation process and “a clear overreach, which is totally unwarranted”.

This is the first time the government has cited due process in defence of a social media post.

In the past, Twitter has been asked to take down content and block handles, including of a reputed media platform like Caravan magazine on the basis of directives from the government. Many of those takedown requests involved matters where the police had either filed omnibus FIRs or was in the process of conducting investigations and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has never previously said that such action amounted to “prejudging” the issue.

This time, however, the ministry says that only the police’s investigation will determine the veracity of the content and not Twitter, and has asked the social media company not to interfere in the investigation process.

The ministry further communicated to Twitter that a complaint has already been made by a concerned party before the local law enforcement agency questioning the veracity of the toolkit and the same was under investigation. While the investigation is underway, Twitter has unilaterally drawn a conclusion in this matter and arbitrarily tagged it as ‘manipulated media’, the government sources said.

The unidentified sources alleged that such action not only dilutes the credibility of Twitter as a neutral and unbiased platform facilitating an exchange of views by the users but also puts a question mark on Twitter’s status as an “intermediary”. The reference to Twitter’s legal status as an intermediary is a threat that is reminiscent of action the Trump administration attempted to take when Twitter began acting against fake news promoted by Donald Trump and his supporters last year.

In its policy on designating content as manipulated media, Twitter says,“…we may label Tweets that include media (videos, audio, and images) that have been deceptively altered or fabricated. In addition, you may not share deceptively altered media on Twitter in ways that mislead or deceive people about the media’s authenticity where threats to physical safety or other serious harm may result.”

Twitter, which has previously employed similar warnings on tweets by former US President Donald Trump about voter fraud after the 2020 elections, decided to flag Patra’s tweet after the Congress complained to the social media platform that the ensemble of pages, circulated as the party’s ‘toolkit’ by top BJP leaders, was fake. Fact-checking website AltNews had also published a comprehensive report establishing that the document which the BJP’s top leadership has been circulating on social media was created on a forged Congress letterhead.

A number of BJP and RSS leaders had tweeted about the alleged toolkit with the hashtag #CongressToolKitExposed to attack the Congress party on social media. “Friends look at the #CongressToolKit in extending help to the needy during the Pandemic! More of a PR exercise with the help of “Friendly Journalists” & “Influencers” than a soulful endeavour,” the tweet by Patra said.

The document contained a range of purported social media directives for party workers to use to attack the prime minister for his disastrous handling of the current wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Congress on Thursday also wrote to Twitter asking it to permanently suspend the accounts of BJP leaders J.P. Nadda and Union minister Smriti Irani for “spreading misinformation and unrest in the society”. A day earlier, the party had lodged a police complaint seeking registration of cases against Nadda and Irani, in addition to BJP general secretary B.L. Santosh and spokesperson Sambit Patra over the alleged forgery of documents.

[KLNMurthy]

So true. So many times we see people use the word "In India this happen" or "Bharat mein ye hota hein".....as if they have checked whole world.

My apologies if this came across as India bashing. That was never my intent. I have defended India's position and its efforts in every forum I am a part of, against some extremely angry Indians. Regardless of what other nations have done - or not, the truth is that certain people in India did work actively against the national interest, and Khujliwal is one of them. That is all I was trying to say. Nothing agains the rest of the country which has worked extremely hard to fight this Chinese scourge.

I still say that for whatever reason, Khujliwal has (so far) managed to get away with all his crimes and that is another tragedy on top of everything else. Having lost so many family and friends in Delhi it is extremely upsetting.

I don’t doubt your love for India at all. And please, no apologies required. I know it was “a manner of speaking” only, and not intended as India-bashing.

But I am one who believes that 1. our common casual usages reflect a mindset and 2. The best of us—so to speak—are no less vulnerable than anyone else to a conditioning that results in a reflexive association of India with negativity and ineptitude, and other worse things.

The phrase “in any other country...” is so very common and automatic that we don’t even think about it.

I think we, here, should make it our business to think about it.

[Rudradev]

The whole spectacle of Indian entities, including the government, running to plead their case to Twitter means that Twitter gains inordinate power as an extra-constitutional arbiter of truth in public perception.

Essentially the BIFs (Congress etc) and the GOI now stand before the august court of Twitter like hapless plaintiffs, making pleas and counter-pleas regarding Twitter's decisions to certify content as "authentic" or otherwise, and implicitly acknowledging Twitter's arbitrary discretion to malign or silence the voices of users on its platform.

GOI should just ban Twitter outright. There will be halla machaoed for a couple of weeks, then the Israelis-Palestinians or Venezuelans or somebody else will do something to grab the attention of the news cycle and all will be forgotten.

Other Social Media platforms will also learn a thing or two about the limits of flouting Indian law. One thing we have is an enormous market... we should leverage it to the maximum.

[Ambar]

Better to use the Cong-I tool of dragging them to court over and over again and slapping larger and larger fines until Twitter says "we won't" and gives a justification to GoI to shut them for good. For all the terrible things China does to the world it got one thing right by never allowing foreign owned social media platforms, internet search engines, entertainment OTT platforms and messaging platforms to operate in China. It should have been clear from the late 90s when NSA/CIA seed funded Google that western governments and agencies will use these platforms to cause political and social upheaval everywhere.

While I dont disagree, the moment GoI does that, the courts will immediately reverse it. Even levying taxes on privately bought oxygen concentrators is “unconstitutional” these days.

Why BJP LOST BENGAL?

TWITTER

@Mahakal_k_bhakt

Why BJP has failed to win 2021 Vidhansabha election in WB?
I see that many RW Hindus r blaming only Bengali Hindus for not winning BJP in WB election.
I think they don't know the ground reality.
I'm a karyakarta of HJM
Let me tell u the reasons of BJP's poor performance.

1. Karyakartas with separate ideology made the ground org weak:
BJP had org at almost every booths in WB.
But many of their Karyakartas were ex-CPIM, who joined BJP only to save themselves from TMC not by accepting ideology.
They made BJP's ground org weak in many constituencies.

2. Welcoming & Promoting TMC leaders & ignoring its own dedicated Karyakartas:
BJP thought they r weakening TMC by promoting new joining TMC leaders in party.
But they didn't realize that they r cheating their own Karyakartas who fought against the same TMC leaders in LS election

3. Ignoring Hindutva for Mu$lim votes:
This point is for Those who r blaming only Bengali Hindus for not winning BJP in West Bengal..
They should know the Pre-Election Mu$lim appeasement of BJP.
I. BJP welcomed Jihadi Monirul Islam for M-votes whose family has involved in crimes

II. BJP welcomed Babu Master aka Firoz Kamal Gazi who murdered dalit BJP leader Pradip Mandal in 2019.
His wife Padma filed a complaint against Babu Master,
But inspite of that BJP gave Y class security to the murderer.
Jihadi Sheikh Yasin also felt safe after coming in BJP

III. Bengali Hindus have been suffering from Mu$lim appeasement since partition.
Mamata has brought this appeasement into next level.
But BJP president Dilip Ghosh & BJP's Bengal in charge Kailas Vijayvargiya made some disgusting statements to appease Mu$lims which backfired BJP

4. Ignoring the warning of RSS :
When BJP leaders were busy joining TMC CPIM leaders, Karyakartas in their party RSS warned BJP not to compromise with the ideology by taking all corrupt persons in party.
But BJP ignored all those warnings and continued to pollute the party.

5. Price Hike of Gas, Fuel & food items before election :
WB is a poor state with geographically 70% of villages.
In 2019 LS election BJP got massive support from villages.
But due to extreme prices Hike of Daily Necessity Goods people got angry & TMC used that anger very well.

6. No CM Face in front of Mamata :
In 2021 LS election BJP got Historic 18 seats with more than 40% vote share because of the clean & bold face of PM Modi.
But in 2021 Vidhansabha election BJP has failed to project a CM face in front of Mamata Banerjee.

7. Failed to convene Dalit & women voters :
Dalit ( ST-SC) voters play a decisive role in election in WB.
In 2019 LS election max of them voted for BJP.
BJP made Historic promises to attract SC-ST & women voters in their Manifesto.
But BJP Karyakartas have failed to convince them

8. Scam in MLA Ticket Distribution:
BJP's Ticket Distribution was not less than a scam.
I. They ignored their dedicated leaders and gave tickets to newcomers from TMC/CPIM/Congress who didn't even want to take BJP's ticket.

II. The same thing happened in North & South Bengal which was BJP's strong zone during 2019 LS Election.
Despite of the protest of BJP Karyakartas BJP's state leadership kept their arrogance behavior and did nothing to calm down the Anger of their Karyakartas.

lll. The confidence level of State BJP leaders was as much high that they ignored the advice of RSS before distributing MLA tickets..

9. Congress & CPIM surrendered themselves in front of Mamata:
Hindus are the Main enemy of Congis & commis.
They feared to see the raising of Hindutva in WB.
So, they decided to surrendered themselves to TMC to stop BJP coming in WB by this type of Campaign like "No Vote To BJP"

10. Poor Management of Pooling & Counting Agents:
TMC trained their Karyakartas before making them pooling & Counting Agents.
But BJP did nothing.
There were many places where the untainted BJP Karyakartas left counting stations before the counting stop.

https://twitter.com/Mahakal_k_Bhakt/sta ... 81155?s=19

I can attest the above points with varying degrees.
Number IV is very critical - RSS kept on warning, but the state leadership's argument was to allow the incoming flood water first, and then the purification.

[kvraghav]

One other thing is also about being very stingy when you want to implement welfare schemes. The govt is leaving the on the ground implementation to the state govt which are very corrupt. In Karnataka for example every day, there are many slots opened for the 45+ but none for 18+. Most of the people dying in this wave is are in their late 30s. Why cannot they open for atleast 35+? I think they are just allowing to private hospitals to make money from the 18+. This is the level of corruption in Karnataka.

I keep thinking of the Indian false sense of righteousness here. Nobody f*cking cares.
If you do take down twitter for a week, there will be a huge cry. If you dont, twitter and others will continue to mess with you anyway.
What is there to lose.
Whatever you do, DO NOT MAKE TWITTER THE ARBITER .

Next thing from a legal perspective : Do not identify Twitter or FB or WA as traditional media. This is the route they take for Freedom. Legislate and make them as Online Technology media and draft new laws for them. Make them subservient to Govt agencies. Ask them to
1. Keep all records and data within india
2. Explain actions of banning or throttling or any action on anybody and keep traceability to individuals within respective org
3. Make sure there is a govt panel of representatives which monitor twitter actions within FB/WA/twitter

I believe the rules are different for them even now.

Next:
Make sure to add and ensure rules of "interference on internal matters" deliberately vague for FB/WA/Twitter. This allows for arrest & search . Make bail difficult. Make sure CEO of twitter India is directly liable.

of course the courts can interfere. The courts can set them free. But if you cant control
(a) legislation
(b) execution
(c) have necessary muscle through police to do arrests
(d) prepare you AG team for courts
..then dont become a politician and dont be in government.

Not enough. Not by a large margin.
Make twitter appear before govt panel.
Make them wait for 4 hours before starting the session...tire them out psychologically before the session.
Then start. Ask them to explain and broadcast it live.
Ensure panel is overwhelmingly staffed by folks in your side. Sambit Patra and Anand Ranganathan types plus someone who is occasionally very nasty.
Interrupt them repeatedly . Throw ugly words from nasty guy in the panel against twitter...let others in the panel step in to retract the words...throw twitter out of balance and dont let them make a cohesive argument. Have a police team from cyber crime unit in the room to send a subtle message.


You only have to shoot one crow in a tree full of them. You only have to do it once for the message to get across.

Majority of GOI is sold out by now, whether it is at the level of officials or that of politicians(regardless of political party they are in). Just check how many kids of these politicians(including ministers) and bureaucrats are studying at US universities.

Plus I am reasonably sure that these social media and Big tech giants such as google, twitter, facebook etc have solid incriminating evidence of moral/financial impropriety by senior functionaries of GOI. And this evidence is now being put to good use. I have serious doubts if ministers like R.S.P and javdekar will have spine or b@lls to challenge Big Tech

Nice fantasy. I hope I am wrong but big tech has our govt by their b@lls. Nothing will happen. The inability to ban these american big tech companies in India by the current dispensation means by next year i.e mid 2022 the narrative will be firmly against Namo led BJP Govt. Good luck clawing back for 2024 elections by then.

Observing the current trends, I feel that BJP will not make it past majority mark. Most probably they will become the single largest party within 220-250 seats range.

[Sicanta]

UP election will most probably take place in Jan-Feb 2022. That will set the tone for 2024.

[darshhan]

UP election will most probably take place in Jan-Feb 2022. That will set the tone for 2024.

That is why I said mid 2022. However even if BJP does manage to do well in UP (north of 60 seats), there is no guarantee that BJP will cross majority on its own. UP is just one part of the puzzle albeit a very important part.

All this news of pliant Judiciary/Godi media/One party system in the Western Press the whole ecosystem were waiting for a opportunity.
The combination of 2nd wave + WB debacle+ perception of loosing grip of COVID in India compared even to next door shit-hole has emboldened the system to step up the attack.
Probably we will see more of this upto the 2022 UP polls and later to 2024.
What is the answer??
My feeling that 'Sabka saath' is going to give BJP a big 'Haath' !!
Should BJP go back to the time tested Hindutva banner and start the Kashi Vishwananth demand or carry on with the 'Sabka....'
If Cong+SP or Con+BSP or the trio with the LeLi woke gang in the present charged atmosphere of COVID management (even the perception of mismanagement) given the mortality rate(though not very high compared to world figures, but the images from the crematorium and floating bodies are quite emotive issues) may tilt the balance
If UP is lost then 2024 probably will be like 'Shining India' moment!!

The whole spectacle of Indian entities, including the government, running to plead their case to Twitter means that Twitter gains inordinate power as an extra-constitutional arbiter of truth in public perception.

Essentially the BIFs (Congress etc) and the GOI now stand before the august court of Twitter like hapless plaintiffs, making pleas and counter-pleas regarding Twitter's decisions to certify content as "authentic" or otherwise, and implicitly acknowledging Twitter's arbitrary discretion to malign or silence the voices of users on its platform.

GOI should just ban Twitter outright.

Many times Brihaspati jee has written that Anglo powers don't allow people like Modi nitish to rise without having something on them to blackmail and make them toe anglo line.

Seems the more usa insults more Modi bends.

Facebook is out and out leftist anti Hindu but Modi cried in front of Zuckerberg.

Now twitter pi$$ on BJP and BJP acts submissive.

Why green card holder jayant sinha whose father abuses modi day and night is a Minister while someone like Meenakshi Lekhi is not. Why hardeep puri who spends resources and time on family of vinod dua type is even a Minister?

Maybe under American pressure.

Maybe under American pressure.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has, by order dated April 23, 2021, imposed restrictions on American Express Banking Corp. and Diners Club International Ltd. from on-boarding new domestic customers onto their card networks from May 1, 2021.

the amerikis don't this happening to amazon, walmart, twitter, facebook, pfizer et al and a whole host of ameriki companies who buy and sell third world govts and make rules for themselves wherever they go without allowing any country interfering in their greedy business scams in these very countries

that is why cocky bezos and arrogant amazon regularly "warn" the govt of India. Many others do it quietly through their diplomatic and trade mission staff in India.

Toolkits have existed much before the congis so very foolishly exposed themselves.

bill gates wades in with his foundation, just like ford, rockefeller, soros, amnesty, oxfam etc push for their foundations to operate with total freedom under the guise of aid to dalits and tribals often breaking Indian laws with impunity and trampling on our constitution.

All "pillars of democracy", including the babooze are firmly under their grip and the lootyens presstitutes are a shared BIF asset as are entities like jamia, JNU, jhadavpur, ashoka, stephens and many others too numerous to name

what the amerikis are insidiously doing through their big businesses like amazon, walmart, twitter, facebook, pfizer et al is no less than what the hans are doing with their evil OBOR network, predatory lending tactics and the ever present control infrastructure to keep the natives tame, quiet and in check

Same goal, same end game but different tactics. look at what they did to countries closer home like philippines, taiwan, korea, pakistan and almost all countries in the gelf and the EU, UK and now India is a prime target.

The cat has been set among the pigeons.

A very clear and unmistakable warning shot across the jat bows

There seem to be extreme reactions among the jats to this dalit desire, considering that dalits may well be in the majority among the electorate in punjab, and so, if push came to shove, it's off to the muslims for support.

The dalits have as many rights as any other in punjab to stand for elections to any post that they desire.



Punjab: Sarpanch’s husband arrested for holding prayer in Gurudwara for PM Modi’s long life, wishing for a Dalit CM

Punjab has around 35% Dalit population of which around 60% are Sikhs & 40% are Hindus. Muslims are a measly 2%, they won't matter in more than 1-2 seats. After the arrest of Dera Sacha Sauda Chief, Dalits in Punjab are leaderless or Messiah-less. A good Dalit CM candidate can easily garner a good chunk of the vote. In a multi corner fight between BJP, Akalis, Congress & AAP, BJP has a good chance in that case to get good no of seats, maybe even majority (though very slim chances). If the Akalis, Congress & AAP do an explicit or behind the door deal on seat sharing then even going to double digits would not be possible for the BJP. Akalis are deeply corrupt & if the Central govt wants it would not be hard to squeeze their balls to play ball (no pun intended!).

Congress' eco system is on life support & is getting oxygen from Punjab & MH. This loot needs to be stopped for their funding of tool kits to stop. Name 2.0 seems to be total ABV mode of forgiveness & lack of ruthlessness. Or maybe he's too pre-occupied with Covid.
