@swapan55 @SuvenduWB A white paper on the state of the economy as inherited would perhaps be in order ?

@Pawankhera @ECISVEEP File an election petition and find out

[Gautam Sircar @gsircar]

@nitishpandey6 @jgopikrishnan70 @Law1Leo Because the objection was lodged by opposing candidate. You are asking the right question but to the wrong person. Question to ask is who from Telangana gave the information to BJP.

[Gautam Sircar @gsircar]

@anusharavi10 With this the SC has reiterated the well established legal position as well as earlier judgements on the matter.

[Gautam Sircar @gsircar]

@tehseenp Your last line says it all. Then why blame others ?

[J Gopikrishnan @jgopikrishnan70]

Supreme Court dismisses Meenakshi Natarajan’s petition challenging Returning Officer rejection Election affidavit. Now it is time for Congress to form a Committee to find who from the party sabotaged her candidature to Rajya Sabha by filing wrong affidavit and leaking summons of Telangana Court to BJP in Madhya Pradesh ..: Will Congress for a Committee to probe the internal sabotage 😎

[Gautam Sircar @gsircar]

@nistula A question I wish you had asked @SankhadipTweets - if elections were to be held again today what would be his guess of TMC's vote % now ?

[Gautam Sircar @gsircar]

@Kamru_Choudhury What was the expose ?

[Gautam Sircar @gsircar]

@reporter_mohua Have some shame....do you have any idea of what this fellow did in Bidhannagar ?

The Great Trinamool Treasure Hunt

When Trinamool's mighty reign was done,
The raiding teams had so much fun.
They opened cupboards, trunks and sacks,
And found more surprises than railway tracks!

Bundles of cash in beds and walls,
Cash in kitchens, cash in halls.
Cash in pillows, cash in shoes,
Enough to make accountants blow a fuse!

Then came condoms by the score,
Boxes stacked from floor to floor.
The officers scratched their heads and said,
"Was this a party office or a chemist instead?"

Next appeared the bottles tall,
Hidden behind portraits on the wall.
Whisky, rum and spirits rare,
Enough to keep a wedding merry for a year.

But wait! The story grew more strange,
As arms emerged from every range.
The raiders sighed, "We came for files,
Not an army surplus storehouse pile!"

Meanwhile, crowds lined every street,
To watch the accused retreat.
No roses flew, no cheers were begged,
The public's weapon was simply eggs!

An egg on the forehead, an egg on the nose,
An egg in the hair wherever it goes.
The people's verdict, sunny-side-up,
Served in a rather embarrassing cup.

Now every leader fears a knock,
Not from rivals, but from livestock.
For cash may vanish and power may flee,
But egg on the face lives eternally!

So ends the tale of the great raid season,
A comedy beyond all political reason.
Where cash, condoms, bottles and arms all met,
And the final auditor was a flying omelette.

@payalmehta100 @CNNnews18 Must say you have been spot on all the WB developments.

[Kushan Mitra @kushanmitra]

What happened in Madhya Pradesh is rank insubordination by TWO state units. If things start to unravel for the GOP, it will not be pretty.

[Gautam Sircar @gsircar]

Couldn’t agree more. Possibly because most of the analysis is originating from NCR who had been fed on superficial insights like over 30% Muslims will never vote BJP or Didi’s Lokkhir Bhandar is a silver bullet and so on. What they never saw or experienced was the flip side - corruption, tolabaji, TMC mafia’s all pervasive presence, voter suppression, crime against women in rural areas etc etc.

[Gautam Sircar @gsircar]

@ShekharGupta And put some trap-shooters as crew !!

[J Gopikrishnan @jgopikrishnan70]

Meenakshi Natarajan's nomination rejection - Question is how come BJP's Madhya Pradesh Unit came to know few months back, Telegana Court summons to her. The court summons was based on a pvt complaint filed by a Mahila Congress leader .... How BJP came to know this case and got copy of summons and how came to know she did not mention in the affidavit, who from Congress filled her affidavit? - This was a clear inside job from Congress to sabotage her nomination 😎

[Gautam Sircar @gsircar]

@sumanthraman Read it. How come losing candidate did not challenge the result with ECI ? There is a legal recourse yet not one candidate challenges ? Even now there are a few days to go for 45 days....let's see.

[Gautam Sircar @gsircar]

Go challenge the results by filling up the right forms and submitting to ECI. 45 days are yet to expire, the cctv recordings are still available. Whining here doesn’t help. Also how come not a single candidate has challenged the results? Only tattus like you are jumping up and down. @free_thinker

[Gautam Sircar @gsircar]

@sumanthraman Wasn’t it ?
