@_amitbehere Hyper religiosity & Muslim lynchings on suspicion of carrying beef followed by shameless justifications of the same by AndhBhakts, including some in my friends' circle, in SM made me realize these monsters for what they were.
By the end of 2016, I became totally anti BJP.
@SuryahSG State's VAT is applied as a % of Base price + excise & cess charged by the Union govt.
So, ask the Union govt to reduce the excise & cess. State's share of taxes will automatically come down.
@aravind Read in a reddit post today that it was a DS ploy, though not specific if it was the old school one or the newly invented GLISCO one, to tear down DT's reputation in a foreign soil, implying Sidhant is a DS stooge.
What a weird world. Asking questions makes one a DS agent.
@labstamil If you believe this man gives a damn about the culture and history of this great civilizational state called Bharat, much less Tamil Nadu’s, then I have an “economically vibrant Vishwaguru” fantasy to sell you.
Or perhaps you’re just extraordinarily committed to sarcasm.
@MrsGandhi@latha_venkatesh@narendramodi@CNBCTV18News What internal fiscal stress in 2012 are you talking about?
Brent crude prices stayed consistently above 100 USDs/Barrel all thru the UPA 2 period, one of the toughest spots to be in to manage inflation and to clock stellar GDP growth simultaneously.
MMS did it with no fuss.
@theskindoctor13 So sweet Doc.
Replace TVK with BJP in your laborious post, apply it in your 'politically incorrect politics' references you made in the least politically irrelevant context in the last 24 hours pan India, and it all sounds the same. Isn't it?
Practice what you preach Doc.
@labstamil BY all means, what Periyar said makes sense.
குல dheivams of our hinterland or கலாப dheivams of fatherland bootlickers, Periyar viewed at them in contempt with equal fervor. He's not a hypocrite.
@tirumuru_87@VinodhiniUnoffl Great. Then what stops all the states from overreporting their GDP figures by a few % points to score some brownie points against their opponents?
Or is it that only TN does that to salvage their sinking ship? Implying other states are patron saints of reporting data as it is..
@tirumuru_87@VinodhiniUnoffl Also, one must live in a La La Land to believe that TN, a non-BJP ruled state, would be allowed by BJP administered central agencies like MoSPI & NSO to get away with fudging GSDP numbers and get away with it for 2 years straight.
@tirumuru_87@VinodhiniUnoffl Neither do I think nor do I assume.
If GSDP data is fudged, it has to be corroborated from all the fronts. Power consumption isn't the only litmus test.
