New Delhi: Rajasthan political crisis, Bollywood’s nepotism debate, India-China tensions – it’s more of the same thing on Twitter.
Former BJP leader Yashwant Sinha is dripping sarcasm here on the Modi government’s response in Ladakh. Media reports indicate that China is ‘retreating’ but the government has continuously maintained that its troops never entered Indian territory.
The media is wrong. Chinese forces are in full retreat even in their own territory, because they never entered Indian territory, after the muscular visit of PM Modi to Laddakh. They are really scared now. India today is not the India of 1962. Bravo.

Another disaster: Congress spokesperson Nivedith Alva on the travesty that online classes are.
The current online schooling system during #COVID19 is built around the assumption that neither / one parent doesn’t work while schools are closed.
So you should be jobless to supervise kids & yet be able to pay the fees. Govt/courts silent.
Is it a nexus with pvt schools?

BJP spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi offers a glowing tribute to Home Minister Amit Shah. What’s this about?
Delhi deserves good governance & I am grateful to Hon’ble HM to stand by us during Corona crisis. Propaganda and glitzy media coverage is no replacement for governance & delivery mechanisms.

Like a dutiful brother, Baghel thanked her and wondered if she would send a rakhi to someone else…
बहन, मैं आपसे एक आग्रह और करता हूँ कि एक राखी अपने भाई नरेंद्र मोदी जी को भी भेज दें और उनसे भी वादा करवाएँ कि देशवासियों से उनके द्वारा किए गये प्रत्येक वादे को पूरा कर सकें।
मुझे उम्मीद है कि मेरी बहन में इतनी हिम्मत तो है कि वो अपनी पार्टी के नेता को एक राखी भेज सकेगी।

Each day we read or hear of new conspiracy theories regarding the ‘outside-insider’ debate in Bollywood.
नेपोटिज्म और आउटसाइडर ज़रूरी मुद्दे हैं,लेकिन धीरे-धीरे कोई और एजेंडा उद्घाटित हो रहा है।
कहीं पे निगाहें,कहीं पे निशाना।

Finally, economist Steve Hanke shares some wisdom by Kemal Ataturk, founding father of Turkey. Perhaps, President Donald Trump needs to follow Ataturk’s advice?
