Why Rahul Gandhi, flaws and all, remains the Opposition’s best bet https://t.co/iatps7Y9ld

[Vivek Deshpande @vivekd64]

The greatest threat today is to India’s socio-religious fabric. Among the five agendas of the new Cockroach Janata Party there is no mention of the same. So it is far from being the kind of alternative India needs. We don’t want a refurbished AAP to counter the BJP.

पत्नी को अपने रास्ते मे अडचन समझकर दूर रखनेवाले देश को महिला सन्मान का ज्ञान न दे.

Using Address to Nation on national broadcasting facility to target Opposition is not only unprecedented but absolutely reprehensible. It's a new low that can be further lowered only by Modi. What a misfortune for a great country like ours.

Dear Tharoor ji, Rahul is from dynasty, you are not. But Rahul is fighting communal and dictatorial BJP and you are often seen with BJP. So how is dynasty bad and non-dynasty good?

@amitmalviya अच्छा. तो ये भी बताईये मालवीय जी कि, आप की मध्य प्रदेश सरकार या भाजपा इकाई इस मिश्र के खिलाफ कब कारवाई कर रही है. है हिंमत तो कर के दिखाइये. सच तो ये है की आप की ही मदद से ये मिश्रा ये हिंमत दिखा रहा है.

@Adv_Anil_Mishra Ok. So Rau gave you this Constitution that believes in equality of all castes and reservations for backward castes and secularism for all religions? What kind of Sanatani was he?

When king turns a pawn

When Nakamura hurled Gukesh's king into the crowd of s spectators he didn't realise he had turned a pawn in the hands of market forces that want to make the sedate, dignified sport of chess an agitative, excitable crowd puller.

After watching FBI Director Cash Patel during hearing in Epstine files case, once can't but feel like calling him Clash Patel in English or क्लेश पटेल in Hindi.

[Vivek Deshpande @vivekd64]

क्लेश/क्लॅश पटेल

ये जो कॅश पटेल नामक FBI प्रमुख है वो किस प्रकार का व्यक्ती है ये एप्सटाईन केस मे उसकी अमेरिकी जनप्रतिनिधीयोंद्वारा जो सुनवाई हुई उस से पता चला. इसको क्लेश पटेल या क्लॅश पटेल बुलाना चाहिए.

Orissa govt has shown the sagacity to arrest BJP leader who assaulted a bureaucrat in Bhuvaneshwar.
Time for the Congress to follow the example and arrest its Minister who assaulted two engineers in Himachal Pradesh.
If it doesn't, then Rahul Gandhi should stop pontificating.
