New Delhi: Pankhuri Pathak, Congress, is incensed at Jay Shah’s BCCI appointment but delighted to point out that dynasties continue regardless of which party is in power.

And in the same vein, Iltija Mufti who continues to handle her mother Mehbooba Mufti’s twitter account, has coined this new name for the ruling party.

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar’s distasteful comment about Congress President Sonia Gandhi and a dead mouse has outraged Congress. Here’s a strong condemnation from Sanjay Jha.
Every time the BJP speaks it just gets more morbid and repulsive by the day. It is sickening. It is a disease.
The Haryana CM’s comments on the Congress President are a disgrace.
Ye kahan aa gaye hum?

Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera also gave Khattar a mouthful. The hashtag created by the party, was #MaafiMangoKhattar. Question is, will he?

Sushmita Dev, Mahila Congress head, is a real feminist if we go by this tweet on Khattar and the BJP. We wonder what the women in the BJP have to say about Dev’s statement…
This comment by @mlkhattar is shameful. It is abundantly clear that @BJP4India is a party full of rabid misogynists. https://t.co/oY8Qy35jSP

Tejashwi Yadav, RJD, periodically surfaces on Twitter – here he is taking on fellow Bihari, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad for his slowdown and movies remark.
कौन कह रहा है मंदी है? देखिए कैसे खचाखच भरे सभास्थल में हमारे कर्मठ, जूझारू और उत्साहित कार्यकर्ता जगह पाने के लिए उमड़ रहे है। ☺️
श्री @rsprasad जी आप इस पर प्रेस कॉफ़्रेंस कर सकते है? मंदी है तो इतनी भीड़ कहाँ से और किन वाहनों (ओला-ऊबर के अलावा) पर सवार होकर आयी? https://t.co/TG0IycCGuW

Sambit Patra, BJP spokesperson, is so taken with his own eloquence that he has retweeted a news report about himself.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is justly confused by author Devdutt Pattanaik’s weird tweet.

Former US president Barack Obama has found something to cheer about.
Yesterday, marathoner Eliud Kipchoge became the first ever to break two hours. Today in Chicago, Brigid Kosgei set a new women’s world record. Staggering achievements on their own, they’re also remarkable examples of humanity’s ability to endure—and keep raising the bar.

And, here’s someone who clearly looks like he is enjoying himself.
Since yesterday, many of you have been asking – what is it that I was carrying in my hands when I went plogging at a beach in Mamallapuram.
It is an acupressure roller that I often use. I have found it to be very helpful. pic.twitter.com/NdL3rR7Bna
