Kolkata too has a Muslim mayor
London & New York have Muslim mayors despite not being Muslim majority cities. That’s because voters in both looked beyond religion & race & focussed on real issues. This is @BJP4India ‘s nightmare-they know they’re out the day voters focus on what really matters.

Ok Sir.
किसी भी भारतीय मूल के व्यक्ति के किसी अन्य देश में चुनाव जीतने पर उछलना बंद कीजिए। हाल का अनुभव बताता है कि ऐसे लोगों का केवल ‘मूल’ भारतीय है, ‘सूद’ उस देश के लिए ही है, जहाँ वे बस गए।

The BJP's Upper Caste base wants a BJP CM in the state. But the leadership may have different priorities. Will BJP let Nitish Kumar become CM again if the NDA comes to power? Or will the party insist on having its own CM? @AdityaMenon22 decodes. Read: https://t.co/z7jyEr2Lsx
