New Delhi: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman sure knows her religious texts – here’s an 8-tweet-long religious lesson on Vijayadashmi.
On Vijaya Dashami, a few tweets on Lalita Sahasranamam (LS) the 1000 names of Lalita. LS is a Chapter in the Brahmanda Purana (3rd Cent BCE) compiled by Vyasa. It is in a dialogue format, between Hayagriva and Agastya. The names were uttered by Rishi Vagdevis such as Vaśi.

BJP spokesperson, Sambit Patra, is not one to let go of an opportunity like this, especially when the Congress presents it to him.
So finally Congress concedes defeat even before the polling in the upcoming Assembly elections!
Khurshid agrees Rahul Gandhi has just “Waked Away” & Sonia Gandhi is just a “Stop-Gap” arrangement …meaning @INCIndia is left with no “नेता”,”नीति” or “नियत”! pic.twitter.com/gciL3bHNOM— Sambit Patra (@sambitswaraj) October 9, 2019
President Trump also provides plenty of ammunition to his opponents. Here’s Daily Show host, Trevor Noah. By the way, Trump never served in Vietnam using deferments to protect him.
Uh, Trump can't just "decline to participate." It's not the Vietnam War. https://t.co/6JQEOV0LkB

Veteran Congressman Kapil Sibal compared Mahatma Gandhi’s “experiments with truth” to Amit Shah’s and you know which one he found wanting.
Amit Shah : ..that there are no restrictions in Kashmir…only in the minds of those opposed to the Governments decision on Art. 370…
Remember:
Gandhi’s Experiments with TruthNow :
Amit Shah’s Experiments with Truth !— Kapil Sibal (@KapilSibal) October 9, 2019
Where is BJP leader Subramanian Swamy? In the last week he’s gone rogue on Twitter, mostly retweeting others’ tweets. Come back, Mr Swamy, all is forgiven.
