  1. Pappu of TN, in some sense, in his call for destruction of Hinduism indirectly made it into a call for destruction of I.N.D.I Alliance and their chances in the polls.

  2. LOL. Dude thinks he runs a Government. What kind of talks is he holding? This is hilarious.

  3. Banning Halala (The practice of forcibly remarrying a woman after 3 talaq) is Rubbish according to the Congress. Man, secularism really needs saving from the secularists.

  4. Udaynidhi Stalin is not even Atheist. He's a practising Christian and he often goes to church. He motormouths about it in his social media account.

  5. Ajay Makan has never paid taxes in his life - used to be proud about that fact just like his Uncle (who participated in '84 Anti Sikh pogrom). Of course IT Dept would freeze his bank account over non payment of dues. I guess, it sucks to be treated like a common citizen.

  6. Very unlikely this is how it will pan out. If this survey is true then Shinde Sena and Ajit Pawar NCP will bag 3 seats. That’s impossible. Shinde has a strong grip in Konkan and Sambhajinagar. Ajit still has a strong hold on Maratwada. I don’t see them getting less than 5 seats each. BJP is still extremely popular in Maharashtra because of all the infra money pouring into the state by both CG and SG. Also last election BJP in Maharashtra had a 90% strike rate in both general and assembly elections.

  7.  @Minlunchongloiyt  Meiteis have the freedom to stay and they are exercising it. You have the freedom to leave if you don't like it.

  8. Congress spent whatever revenue it had on freebies, slept on GST deadlines and now it's begging. This party is a why India stayed poor.

  9. DMK Pappu strikes again.

  10. NDA got 41 out of 48 seats in 2019. I doubt Sena will underperforms that dramatically that they’ll only end up giving 3 seats. Also Ajit Pawar still has a form grip on Maratwada, so it’s even less likely that NDA will get only 28 seats.

  11. If you listen to Devinder Sharma, India will never manufacture anything, our water table will be gone forever, Punjab will never move out of paddy and wheat. He believes agriculture will make us rich - sorry, agriculture has a price ceiling, you can be extra productive but you will never become rich selling agro product. If that was even possible, then young punjabis wouldn't be leaving for Canada in the 10,000. This guy wants India to remain rural and poor.

  12. Why do we care about UK committing to rebuilding schools?

  13.  @Minlunchongloiyt  Kuki need to be taught a serious lesson from the mainland about respecting other groups.

  14. He is walking a tight line. He could get beat up or sued for saying the wrong thing.

  15. So back in the 80s textile trade unions would protest quite a lot. Demanding 100% hikes in salaroes, free housing, pensions etc. 10 years later, the textiles industry collapse, unions lost their job and clout and textiles exports moved to Bangladesh, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. Farm Unions are adamant about heading in that direction.

  16. Why would you expect TR Baalu to treat L Murugun with any respect? It is not in DMK Thevar thug's nature to respect Dalits.

  17. Pappu of TN. May he get completely destroyed and end up like a pauper.

  18. CPIM protesting is not the same as farmers protesting

  19. Congress’ harassment of businesses has begun. They are looking for bribes to help fund their campaigns. You don’t need electoral bonds when you can harass businesses to pay in cash.

  20. Punjabi farmers killed Punjabi industry. The farmer's demand for free electricity killed the State's fiscal capacity. So while India was booming in the 2000s, Punjab was adding cess after cess on residential and industrial electricity tariffs to cover the shortfall. While China was selling boxing gloves at Rs. 30/unit (Punjab used to own that market), Punjabi manufacturers were charging around Rs. 50/unit which includes about Rs. 15 in cess owe to Punjab Govt. Today Punjab is completely de-industrialized - local industries have shifted from Punjab to Lower Himachal Pradesh. Today Himachal Pradesh manufactures more goods in a year than Punjab in the past 5 years. Lesson here is if you listen to Punjabi farmers, say goodbye to any industry and start saving for a ticket to Canada. Fun fact: 1. Punjab was charging a Gaurashak cess before BJP even came up with the concept of Gaurashak tax. 2. Jalandar used to be the Shenzen of Sports equipment manufacturing until the late 2000s.

  21. Yes that can happen when you dismantle the entire MSP system. It's just layers of monopolies. I say we should redistribute the land as well. Give it Dalits of Punjab.

  22.  @MandeepSingh-ng9sx  well, Makan didn't pay his taxes and IT dept promptly froze his account for non payment. I understand that's hard concept to internalize.

  23.  @sanj33v  toh? Tax nahi pay kiya toh IT dept account freeze nahi karega toh kya karega? The fact that Congress' was defaulting on taxes shows the terrible state of their party's culture. And the party's culture is defined by serial tax evaders like Makan.
