Before social media, depiction of violence on news was the exception—graphic visuals were either not shown on TV or in newspapers or the images were blurred. This is no longer the case.
Neither state govts nor companies earn large profits from lotteries. However, a look at the system shows there’s ample evidence of murky dealings and financial irregularities.
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
All four comments are enough to conclude that Kumar Ketkar is a vassal of Gandhi family, a la Mani Shankar Aiyar. The latter was cultivated by NDTV for writing trash, and Ketkar is The Print’s discovery. Well, a bit of trashy writing in an otherwise reasonably decent journalism is tolerable. Or is it?
Socialists always tend to forget the economic reason as one among many for those who support bjp. For free market capitalists, bjp is less socialist than others, hence they support bjp.
I was contemplating NOTA. Kumar ketkar & his ilk are forcing BJP-turned-NOTA supporters vote BJP. Watching the anti-hindu vitriol peddled, I will now vote BJP
” Congress member of Rajya Sabha” – that says it all! What was the point of this characterisation of the traditional voter of BJP?

Very poor analysis by the author. BJP polled 17.16 crore votes in 2014. The categories as described by the author is way lower (44 lakh people of Indian descent in USA and they don’t vote in Indian elections). The most representative group as described by author is the Indian IT worker which only numbers 30 lakh. These numbers are minuscule compared to BJP’s votes.
