Let me be brutally honest.
@RahulGandhi
would have been 10 million times a better PM. I have no doubt about it anymore. His biggest asset is what we thought was his biggest weakness - HE HAS NO GREED AND HUNGER FOR POWER.
Feel sad and also ashamed to read this. India can offer such a marvellous and diverse experience to foreign tourists but there's little I can counter in this observation made by a tourist. Our centuries old culture of hospitality, being respectful towards guests has decayed.
Just respond with answer to one question- did you lose any friends or stopped talking to them or anyone your family during 10 years of UPA
@INCIndia
Govt from 2004-2014?
I am not an atheist but in last few years I have become allergic to overtly religious people and those who choose religion as their main identity. Completely turns me off. In fact staying away from such people & religious extremists is how I protect my faith and spirituality.
When I lost some of my friends to hate spewing RW, I asked, are they okay to loose friends? Their answer often was - it is okay, we are doing it for the betterment, development, progress & Hindu pride. I knew then that they have been radicalised, manipulated by lies, deceit 1/
The thing is
@RahulGandhi
, much like his father & unlike most politicians, is too decent, humble, polite, accessible & respectful. If he was rude, abrasive, inaccessible, flamboyant, insensitive, egoistical, bigoted & destructive, he would be hailed as a 'great strong leader'!
This broke my heart. Grew up in 80’s Delhi. Everyone celebrated every festival peacefully, exchanged food, sweets with friends, neighbours of every faith. Yummy food on Diwali & Eid. There was love, peace, harmony & brotherhood. India, the world was proud of. All lost now 😏

The Congress’ five proposed guarantees in Karnataka may cost the exchequer over Rs 50,000 crore. Unless there is an increase in revenue receipts, these 5 guarantees may push the state’s fiscal deficit to 4.9% of GSDP from the 2.6% budgeted earlier.

Not one election in last 7 years has been fought on development, jobs, economy, education or any public interest issue. Every election has most irrelevant narratives of religion, caste, regional identities, fake, propped up incidents which have no benefits for the common public/1
History is one of the most interesting subjects in academics but unfortunately my school teachers were anal about dates and made it sound like math. I tuned off. History is actually a collection of amazing dramatic stories and conflicts with awesome well fleshed out characters.

This is the next big challenge in front of all of us, irrespective of our political ideologies, social, cultural, religious differences. If we don’t protect our nature, our environment, we might as well put Earth on fire. No development can be at the cost of nature & wildlife.
Read this. Remember this. Always. Irrespective of who is in power, It is the duty of citizens and media to hold individuals in power, accountable, not be their cheerleaders.

Rahul Gandhi’s speech in the Lok Sabha today in which he yet again invoked his family reminds us that he has learned nothing. It is this sense of entitlement and birthright that continues to make Modi our most credible leader.

You can abuse Gandhi, father of our nation. The man whose face is on our currency. You can recreate his assassination. Abuse first PM of India. None of these acts by adults attract sedition but God forbid if a teenager makes a wrong statement then it’s war against the child.
Despite hate, ridicule, maligning, fake news, abuses
@RahulGandhi
has endured, he has still kept serving people with kindness, decency & humility. It is the Media that has to respect him instead of glorifying vindictive, hateful, divisive, megalomaniac politicians! Do your job!
Many ppl, me included, have criticised
@RahulGandhi
for not getting into the rough and tumble of opposition politics. Today marked a change. Dissent and protest are the hallmark of a healthy democracy, a fact that is lost on the UP govt. But RG needs to stay the course
Better Governed states like TN, Kerala, Maharashtra, etc contribute hugely & get back little from centre. Funds are used for populist schemes in badly performing North states to win elections. Centre on 24/7 election mode with zero focus on economic policies or governance.
Sri Lanka's food & economic crisis is due to whimsical policies, reckless populism & fiscal profligacy. It is a cautionary tale for all poor nations. Many states in India are indulging in reckless short-term freebies for electoral gain, ignoring growth & core functions.1/2
Politics aside, this is absolutely brilliant advertising. In fact, probably one of the best ad campaigns seen in a long while. Concept, script, execution, everything is bang on. Compliments to the ad agency, ad filmmakers and communications team at

No. Complacency & this kind of false bravado is what got us here. No one will win or be defeated without a sound strategy & work on the ground. Issues on their own do not bring down regimes or get someone elected. You work hard to own an issue for it to replace regimes with you.

You won’t believe this but even RepublicTV is allowing anti fascist voices to air. Many stalwarts have gone missing from the social media. Rats have started deserting the ship, leaving anon trolls & foot soldiers to face the music. Historically, any unjust rule never ends well.
SHOCKING: Modi Sarkar says why voters bothered who funds political parties. So what if criminals/foreign powers are funding political parties? Why doesn't BJP want us to know this? Can such ppl run a clean transparent anti corruption Govt that works for India?

They had refused to see RW lies then & many still do not but ask yourself this what have you gained in last 7 years? My conservative guess is Zero, Zilch. What have you lost? Friends, respect, love, relations but more importantly, what the nation has lost is irreplaceable. 2/
You are either an atheist or you believe in God. If you believe in the concept of God, you can't love one manifestation of that concept while hating on the other. God is not a brand or a TV show. True believers respect all manifestations of God, even if they worship only one. 1/

Every time they will sense they are losing ground electorally, politically or public perception, they will remind their supporters that hate & violence is their main agenda and everything else is just a facade. Not one of their supporters voted for anything else. Not one.
How has our nation become better when gloriously diverse yet united India has been divided in just 7 years for the first time post independence on the lines of religion, caste, region, language and even food habits and clothes they wear. Is this what you'll call betterment? 3/

. Political, religious gatherings not crucial to survival.
#FarmersProtests
are. Onus on Govt to address concerns & resolve it. Would you say it to anyone seeking justice to suffer silently since no one cares to resolve your issue? Or Just to poor farmers?
Protests by Farmers during this calamity are just as irresponsible as Kumbh Mela or election rallies were. Opposition parties backing them playing with lives. Anything that encourages mass gatherings at this time is an affront to health workers and those who have lost loved ones
I love the way RaGa just refuses to fall into any typical politician stereotype. While his over the top opponent keeps fretting over his next fancy dress, the dude just swags around in blue jeans and tee. He is quite wicked 😁🥳
Why not one rate GST? Say it is 18%. So on a pack of glucose biscuits of Rs 10, it would be Rs 1.80 (Sale price: ₹11.80) and on Mercedes costing 1 Cr it would be 18 lakhs (Sale Price: 1.18 cr). So what’s the problem? How is it unfair? There’s no end to BJP’s economic lunacy
Congress Manifesto promises Single Rate GST. This effectively means that luxury items, Aam Aadmi commodities, and food items, all should be taxed at the same rate. Rahul Gandhi got this wisdom from Singapore which has no poverty. So, the Manifesto does not care about the poor.

Apologists for incompetency have come out of the woodwork. Not for people who are suffering. Not for those who have lost their near & dear ones. Not for the frontline workers. Not to help anyone. They have come out to defend their King. Shameful self serving hunger for power.
Lastly and above all, what good will it achieve by winning elections or power if you can't win hearts and minds of those you wish to Govern, lead? A nation is not just it's land. It is also and more so, its people but today, their hearts, lives, dreams are broken. Introspect /End
Met Jharkhand villager, a bjp supporter. Asked him what he thinks of tribals from his state. He said, all adivasis are thieves & naxals. This is their modus operandi: rampantly spread false propaganda, hate, divisiveness, pit Indians against each other for electoral gains.
This Govt is hellbent on destroying whatever is left of the economy. Almost 2 lakh tourists have cancelled their trip to India in last two weeks and now this: Indian telecom companies are losing 2.4 cr of revenue every hour that internet is shut down.
In America, when one of their most notorious serial killers, Ted Bundy’s trial for killing more than 30 women was going on, there were some teenage girls who were gushing about his good looks. That lunacy which was fringe has now become mainstream & warped societies & cultures.
After long struggle, our economy had reached on top of global pyramid. 3rd largest during UPA, few years away from being top economic superpower. Today, our economy lies in tatters & that was prior to Covid. Presently, even a much smaller nation Bangladesh has over taken us. 4/
