Wake up Shivam Vij.

Achchhe Din Aayenge slogan utterings is out of even Ruling party’s chest thumping speeches.
Mr. Sashi has done his part. If Mr. Shivam or his party wishes to counter they should express in black&white, not cynical notes of this kind. Writing this, inadvertently he is only promoting Sashi!
One thing for sure, if Congress was to adopt the utopian liberal ideals Shivam Vij ascribes to, it will lose the remaining few seats it wins now! Unfortunately for Vij the real world does not work like that. That said Congress does not to evolve strategies to deal with problems which is ailing it but they are going to be very different from what Mr. Vij have in mind.

Don’t worry. The party which would be losing 2019 elections would be BJP. Shashi Tharoor would write, you will just have to wait.
If anybody is less relevant than Taroor, it is the author of this article.
Very.excelent article.
You have read Shashi Tharoor’s books but evidently haven’t been able to read him. Know him first then write.

First, Shivam Vij should decide what his position is on the issues that he writes about. Shashi knows what he is doing. This writer does not.
This article is based on the premise that Congress will lose 2019. Not sure if that premise is correct .
I have been watching Shivam Vij in TV and in print.I just could not comprehend what he means.should I conclude he is cynic
