Well it was coming. A clown leading a party was always going to destroy the party. Although Kamal Nath leaving is hardly a loss. Actually am more surprised BJP is even considering him.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I'm even more convinced now that a non-Gandhi face would be an equal disaster. Since 2014, Himanta Biswa Sarma, Ashok Chavan, Kamal Nath, Scindia and Siddhu have left, and Sachin Pilot flirted with leaving. Probably a dozen others I don't remember. Not one person in that entire party has any ideological commitment to anything, especially the younger ones (Pilot, Scindia were supposed to be next gen
) So there's a good chance the BJP could simply poach the Congress chief directly instead of bothering with going through the party state-by-state.Patnaik back in NDA, more Cong govts broken, SP broken. There is no opposition, not even in name. Voters don't like voting for parties which have major loser stink, so NDA can break 400 or Rajiv's numbers.
Atleast there is a rahul gandhi yatra which apparently is a huge success according to rahul himself
With Modi's popularity and with the power of agencies and money, there is no leader who would be successful now. He is really bad, but nothing would work. Like United managers against PepAtleast there is a rahul gandhi yatra which apparently is a huge success according to rahul himself
Christ pardon me if this has been discussed, but this is an extreme i hadn't quite seen coming, but i dont follow Indian politics much if at all.

While I don't agree with the discriminatory nature of the bill, I am not seeing how this marginalizes the Muslim citizens of India. It is not like they were waiting for the persecuted Muslims from Pakistan or Afghanistan to become Indian citizens.

Prominent opposition politician and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has been arrested by India's financial crime agency, his party said.
The arrest is in connection with corruption allegations relating to the city's policies over alcohol sales.
Mr Kejriwal and his party, the Aadmi Party (AAP), deny any wrongdoing and say the case is politically motivated.
His arrest comes weeks before voting begins in the country's general election.

There are no depths to which BJP and Dear Leader won’t sink to. Pure scum.

Parody PM.
The upcoming elections don’t even need to happen really. They’ve butchered the entire system and I fear it’ll take decades to undo this.
I really really wish I didn't have family and friends in India and didn't have to care so much about how much of a hellhole these fascists are making out of the country.

It’s even sadder when those friends and families are complicit in the situation and lap up all the propaganda.
Exactly. The results in June will tell you that the majority of people in this country actively want these scumbags.
Of course. Hinduism needs to be saved.
Besides people approach elections like betting on horses. You want to vote for the guy who has highest probability of winning.

So I spent some time socialising among family circles this week and the honestly the more you peek into on the ground reality of the public discourse the more depressing the situation is. All the talk is about Kejriwal this, Kejriwal that with a little Raghav Chaddha sprinkled in. They live in Modi-land where he’s the superhero and everyone is a villain to he bashed and mocked, with the narrative flowing from Godi pretend journalists like Arnab.
I manage to rattle a few with talk of the collossal scope of the Electoral Bonds scam and other fun harsh truths about Dear Leader, which was nice.

Do they actually believe Kejriwal's arrest was legit???
I guess we can see how Russians can believe whatever Putin cooks up about his opponents...
Oh they’ll believe any random WhatsApp forward about the latest AAP rumour conveniently ignoring anything to do electoral bonds as it’s a mere footnote.

Dear Leader basically confirming what we all know anyway - electoral bonds were a money laundering scheme for the BJP.

No one really cares. Gone are the days when companies buying off political parties and political parties buying off MLAs and MPs was called corruption. Now the horse trading is open and they call the likes of Amit Shah as a political genius for just throwing a wad of cash and asking elected representatives to jump parties.
