New Delhi: Vijay Chauthaiwale, BJP’s foreign department in-charge, zooms into preparations for the ‘Howdy Modi!’ event in Texas Sunday. We hope the event doesn’t get ‘blown away’ by the storm looming over Texas.

And please welcome Jairam Ramesh, the latest pun-artist of the Congress for his tweet on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Trump card’. Read on…
Timing of FM announcement dictated by #HowdyModi event. PM can now say, "I have come to Texas promising lower Taxes".
Is this his 'trump card'?

Meanwhile, another Congressman, Shashi Tharoor has turned flag-bearer for PM Modi…
As an Opposition MP i have the right to criticise @narendramodi’s policies, statements, actions & inaction, & expose his failures. But when he goes abroad, he is @PMOIndia & he carries my flag. I want him to be received & treated w/ the respect due to my country’s PrimeMinister. https://t.co/cHPB4acmBd

Delhi’s deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia smells something fishy in Goa at the GST Council meet. And it’s not the sea food…
Why media is being kept away from the GST Council meeting venue today in Goa. This is first time in GST Council history.
Media is being asked not to meet state FMs also. Why? What's cooking up!

In a surprise tweet, singer Lata Mangeshkar recalled her family’s relationship with Veer Savarkar which earned her an immediate history lesson from academic Subir Sinha.
Dear @mangeshkarlata ji, have you read any of Savarkar's evil political books, and what he would like to do to fellow citizens? Once you go over them, then we can discuss fascism's deep imprint on Maharashtra's 'cultural scene', not only Savarkar but also Bal Thakre. https://t.co/52jg06TQg3

Piyush Goyal, Union Minister of Railways, turns to rhyme to express his views on single-use plastic. Note the odd egg-shaped character ‘Plastic Hatela’ in the Western Railways campaign video.

Author Devdutt Pattnaik has a novel idea on how Bollywood stars who support the ‘Save Aaarey movement’ can really make a difference.
