New Delhi: Congress’s Jaiveer Shergill had a witty take on the steep fines under the New Motor Vehicles Act and the state of the economy under the Narendra Modi government. Maybe his wit is why Shergill is the spokesperson of the party?
बिना हेलमेट :- जुर्माना 1 हजार
पी कर चलाना :- जुर्माना 10 हजार
लेकिन बिना नियत और नीति के देश की अर्थव्यवस्था का बंटाधार करने पर कोई जुर्माना नहीं ? #EconomyKhatreMeinHai #GDPinICU

In 2013, BJP’s information and technology chief Amit Malviya coined a new Kamasutra position called ‘Manmohan’ (via ‘fb’): where one climbs to the top and does nothing.
Lavanya Ballal, Congress Karnataka spokesperson, read his now, six years later and called Malviya many rude names. She also suggested that BJP men had something other than politics on their minds.
A new Kama Sutra position has been discovered. It is called "Manmohan". You climb up to the top and then you don't do anything. #fb

This statement proves @amitmalviya is a,crass, crude dysfunctional human.
And that bjp men are obsessed with sex. https://t.co/IySk9tRiTe

Congress’s Sanjay Jha is part amused, part outraged about Professor Romila Thapar’s ‘CV controversy’ at Jawaharlal Nehru University. See what he had to say.
JNU wants Romila Thapar’s CV.
Amartya Sen to explain difference between micro and macro economics.
Raghuram Rajan to define fiscal deficit.
Shah Rukh Khän to demonstrate his acting chops.
Sunil Gavaskar, can you take your guard, please?We have become so burlesque.

The American media went into a frenzy after Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto curtly told US President Donald Trump where to get off.
‘First of all, Mr. President, we don’t work for you. I don’t work for you.’ — Watch this Fox News anchor slam Trump for whining about the channel airing segments that didn’t praise him pic.twitter.com/yNmz3kVZt3

A gleeful Shashi Tharoor, Congress MP, found an Indian angle to Cavuto’s tweet — freedom of expression under PM Modi. But Tharoor’s bubble was quickly burst by BJP spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, who reminded him of the time he tried to “gag” the media.
Responding to a Trump tweet, FoxNews network host Neil Cavuto: "First of all, Mr President, we don’t work for you. My job is to cover you, not fawn over you or rip you. Just report on you, call balls&strikes on you.” Am waiting for the day when an Indian journo says this to Namo!
