After it appeared Mr Chidambaram rang me and said it’s an important article but it will be lost in the din of elections.
It was.

As India goes to the polls I would like to remind voters what a congress government did. It tackled a major crisis . Could the Modi government have done this ? Please read my article https://t.co/pc5Bya8twi

@ShumaRaha @waglenikhil Madam, don’t you know? This is what the Fascidts in itsly and Germany did. Read history. Typical storm trooper tactics

@sumanthraman Very very dangerous, not sad.

@INCTharoorian @PChidambaram_IN Dear Mr Tharoor,
I beg to differ. The real visionary was Narasimha Rao. Dr Manmohan Singh certainly played a part in reforming the economy but the impetus came from Rao. Ask any of those involved, privately

Kerala Governor Arif M Khan has described the latest SFI protests against him as the start of the collapse of the state’s constitutional machinery. So is he trying to engineer President’s rule in Kerala? That would be foolish—and only help the LDF to sweep the next polls

M Moitra will be back in Parliament after the 2024 elections, attacking the stupid party. What will it do then? Try and cook up more charges against her? All power to her elbow, we say

@SCK_840 @PChidambaram_IN The real Pappus are tgovt and the BJP. The people have woken up to this. Which is why the BJP’s worried

@GorwayGlobal Good heavens. Unbelievable! What world do they live in?

@MKumaramangalam Paranjoy is a friend of mine. I don’t always agree with his views and he does tend to make mountains out of molehills on corruption. But he is on the side of angels; his honesty is unquestionable.

[Palakunnathu G Mathai @mathai_p]

@ajay43 I don’t. Who wants to listen to propaganda? He

@Enraged_Indian True. Look at Piyush Goyal. His parents were BJP big wigs. Or several other BJP people.
The BJP is the real Pappu party

@RahulGandhi @chipskamath I’m sure this is true but PB has not always been well informed. When I met him. he had no clue about the background to the P J Thomas matter, viz, Kerala’s palmolein scam. Thomas was to become CVC and the BJP and PB had incorrectly alleged that he was corrupt.
