New Delhi: On Twitter today, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi blames the Modi government for lockdown failure, actor Priyanka Chopra shares her ‘first date’ selfie with husband Nick Jonas and US President Donald Trump is very (not) busy.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi does not beat around the bush with this direct question to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his latest Zoom session.
दो महीने पहले लॉक्डाउन लागू करते समय PM ने कहा था कि 21 दिनों में Corona के ख़िलाफ़ जंग जीतेंगे।आज 60 से ज़्यादा दिन बीत चुके हैं और रोज़ मरीज़ों की संख्या ज़बरदस्त तेज़ी से बढ़ रही है।लॉक्डाउन इस वाइरस को हरा नहीं पाया है।मेरा सरकार से सीधा सवाल है- अब आगे क्या योजना है? pic.twitter.com/NULQsX92Pj

Congress’ Digvijaya Singh appreciates imprisoned RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav’s ‘atma nirbhar‘ (self-reliant) dig at the chaos surrounding train services in the country.
इस भटकाव पर सबसे अच्छी प्रतिक्रिया लालू जी की थी। उन्होंने कहा “अब मोदी जी के राज्य में ट्रेनें भी आत्म निर्भर हो गई हैं!!” https://t.co/qLTbAxIhR2

Unsurprisingly, BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy uses impenetrable logic to try and decipher the state of Hindutva politics in India. Is he trying to pat Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S.R. Jagan Mohan Reddy on the back?
If a Christian CM can be responsive to Hindus’ vociferous demand on Tirupati land auction but a Hindu CM takes over all the temples in the State and appoints himself as Chairman, has Hindutva gone off the rails?

The US is the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, but President Donald Trump is… er, playing games.
Some stories about the fact that in order to get outside and perhaps, even a little exercise, I played golf over the weekend. The Fake & Totally Corrupt News makes it sound like a mortal sin – I knew this would happen! What they don’t say is that it was my first golf in almost…
