I'm a little bit more optimistic about freedom in India today. A stronger opposition and a coalition-dependent government means that hopefully the backsliding we have had in civilian, civil society, and press freedom stops, and corporates and media can be more neutral. #JaiHind
Hope has been relatively rare in these majoritarian times. Every bad/unempathetic/ignorant/inhumane argument from a public figure or with a relative further dwindled that hope. But, all the protests around the country this week - they give me hope. #FascismSeAzaadi
The @BJP4India and its members have spent around Rs. 27.4 crore, which makes up around 50% of the overall amount spent on social media political ads. The @INCIndia takes second place with an expenditure of Rs. 5.6 crore. #IndianElections2019 (2/n)
Basically @AmitShah is King Kong. And nobody knows how to organise an election in quite the same way as the BJP President. Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander. Many congratulations to the BJP. This is one heck of a performance. Path to victory in 2019 just became a lot easier.

The Supreme Leader talks little of any constructive issue anymore. Every speech is fear mongering, shamelessly equating any opposition to terrorist sympathizers. Guess what.
Nominating a person being investigated for a terrorist attack isn't about winning Bhopal. It's about sending a message to galvanize the Hindutva base. Voting for BJP anywhere is being complicit in this.
Latest addition to our scintillating list of MP contestants: a potential terrorist.. Malegaon blast accused Sadhvi Pragya.. BJP absolutely naked in its agenda of hate and divisiveness..
Hello Indian journalists, let me fix this for you. This is not a bloody Digvijay versus Pragya thakur war. This is about the ruling party fielding an alleged terrorist booked under UAPA for being the key accuded in two blasts killing close to a hundred muslims.
An INCREDIBLY shameful moment in recent history. When people ask "What is the alternative" - well, this not happening is an alternative. When you ask that rhetorical question of "what is the alternative", you are saying the status quo - such killing - is okay. You truly are.
A man in #lynched, the video of the attack goes viral. The accused boasts on camera that he has army ready to kill Muslims and protect cows. The Supreme Court has intervened w guidelines.
Yet justice remains elusive.
