On the eve of the model code coming into effect (and with no more data until the exit polls) these numbers are the "best possible" scenario for the INDIA alliance:
Kerala 20
TN (incl Pondy) 40
Telangana 11
Karnataka 10
Andhra 0
South total - 81
.... 1/4
Now that the PM has raised the issue of resources being unfairly transferred to people having more children (he targeted the M**lim community), perhaps we should ask why resources of South India should go to the people of UP, Bihar etc who have certainly had way too many children
Why Tamils don't vote for the BJP - because RG respects sentiments by speaking in English. And our Grand Vizier doesn't. They still don't get it. Still don't.
Tamil Nadu has given us great minds like Periyar, Annadurai, Kamaraj, and Kalaignar. It has inspired the fight for social justice in India and around the world. And it will be at the forefront of this battle to save our democracy.
Every time I come here, with love and humility,…
BBC just aired a news report on how the police in UP on the pretext of searching Muslim homes for anti CAA activists deliberately broke furniture,.stole money, jewellery and told them that their houses,possessions would soon belong to Hindus.

To my knowledge the only Vande Bharat train operating out of Chennai travels on the Chennai-Bengaluru-Mysuru sector. This train is half full most of the time (can be verified in Irctc). Second it is barely faster than Shatabdi. Third I doubt any driver can afford the fare.
Koramangala residents will oppose and be forced to start an agitation against the proposed Hosur road flyover. No more flyovers in Koramangala zone including Hosur road until the existing Ejipura Kendriya Sadan stretch is complete.

Winston Churchill said of Chamberlain after Munich -"Our Prime Minister had a choice between war and dishonor. He has chosen both". Can easily paraphrase this to fit Biden's actions here.
Buzz from less privileged voters in Bangalore is a bigger Congress vote in their areas than 2013. My cook tells me ground level BJP organizers have defected to INC. interesting to see if this trend is across Bengaluru

Please don't distort documents. It's very clear that this is an allowance not paid to Gandhiji but an allowance to cover the prison costs per month of housing him in jail. Pl re-read the letter.

Appalled that this myth continues to be perpetrated again and again. Every person pays tax. And every person pays Income tax. If you buy a biscuit packet you have contributed a portion of the Income tax paid by Britannia.
Citizens of Koramangala participated in a protest this morning at the Sony World junction on 100 ft road to demand early completion of the Ejipura to Kendriya Sadan flyover & the Ejipura to Agara road.

Wrong information - the Congress is contesting more than 440 seats all India. With its coalition allies more than 520. I detect more than a whiff of desperation now. All we need to know how the first round went is to read this tweet :)
The reckoning when it comes must include a trial and purge of people at all echelons of UP Police.
@yadavakhilesh
must commit to ensuring that criminals in uniform in UP see the inside of jail cells when he is back in power.
This is exactly how Hitler's stormtroopers, first Roehm's SA and later Himmler's SS and Mueller's Gestapo went after Jewish residences, places of business etc. Many UP cops need to be behind bars. They're the reason UP is the way it is. Shame. Report being seen around the world.
@sanatanadharma1
Tamil Nadu gets back 0.29 Rs for every 1 Rupee it contributes to the exchequer. For Karnataka it's even worse. Less than 0.15 for every Rupee. These are hard facts. UP gets more than 2 Rs for every Rupee it gives. Bihar gets more than 9 Rs for every Rupee given.
The legendary singer Dr KJ Yesudas infront of Ayyappa temple in Sabarimala on his 83rd birthday. 🙏. This is India's syncretic culture. A Christian worshipping Ayappa. The culture which some are actively trying to destroy.

If you lived in Bangalore you would need to do around 500 identical tweets a year. Because power going for a half hour is a daily occurence. Some days many times..
Is it only here in Koramangala or is there a general lethargy in BJP org in Bangalore South ? First election ever where BJP workers didn't give literature, no polling slips given. Ever since I remember both Cong and BJP gave voting slips and literature. This year only INC.
This map tells you all you need to know. Modi ji thinks his voters are rank idiots. He is complaining about population to an adoring audience in a state that has one of the highest population fertility numbers in India.

Actually this is grossly unfair. All the documents for these properties are good. Why do you blame the people ? You should be blaming the Govt that allowed this land to be developed..

I am normally not a person who gets angry easily but the kind of crap being put out by the troll army to save the circus ring master is a bit much to tolerate. Idiots were suggesting that Opposition parties deliberately caused the crash. Pathetic ppl who are allegedly human.
Zero sportsmanship from the Ahmedabad crowd. Only to be expected. But seriously - it's a final. Head has made a 50. At least clap for his achievement. Boorishness - but didn't expect more from a state where jingoism and macho nationalism rule to the exclusion of everything else.

Basic doubt - what or who prevented this happening during the past 4 years ? And has corruption increased or decreased in this period in Karnataka ?
@BhavikaKapoor5
Hitler lost several elections. In fact he did not win a single election outright. The election that made him Chancellor heading a minority Govt he had 196 out of 584. Nazis had only 3 members in cabinet. The next election was rigged. Even that he didn't win.
@ARanganathan72
He did say "today". Lijjat papad started in 1959. Small difference right ? And you can't take just inflation into account. Minimum wages act would have increased wages by much higher than official inflation numbers.
The very fact that some are getting all excited about Udayanidhi commenting on "Sanatanam" shows that they still don't understand Tamil Nadu politics, what the term's connotation is in Tamil or the history of the state.

@INCIndia
A political party must stand for what it believes in no matter whether that is popular or not. Gassing the Jews was popular in Nazi era Germany, as we're Japanese incarcerations in the US. The Ku Klux Klan was also wildly popular. So was Sati, Untouchability etc
And why worry only about BBC ? Here is India Today . All can read for themselves.. UP Police harrassing women is also hapoening according to India Today . .
To send people to attack soldiers with iron rods, stones crowbars and knives . What dishonour is this China ? Can't your military even fight with honour ? Behaving like street ruffians.
@byadavbjp
I was trying hard to figure out whether this was a parody then saw your handle. So now the PM has to provide "visionary leadership" for cheetahs to give birth ? Like really, the cheetahs didn't know how to... how should I put it ? "just do it" ??
@vasudha_ET
The "display of religious sentiment is bad" approach is what led to the backlash that installed the BJP. It's perfectly OK to be religious and let people know it too. It's NOT ok to preach hatred for others who have different beliefs.
@sumanthraman
Enough clues. You have indirectly named St Isabel Hospital Chennai (anyone knowing Chennai will know the hospital location instantly). Pl also name the doctor concerned (for patients to know and avoid to save their lives in future). Shameful state of affairs.

It isn't the number. Remember today is Armistice day in London. On this day British army veterans carrying their country flag were forced to stand behind barricades & the war cenotaph barricaded while Hamas apologists marched on the streets. Britain has folded.

Names have to be taken of police personnel responsible. Today there is no fear. If such people are identified and dismissed from service then fear of losing their jobs will motivate them to behave.
"Modi ji ka EC" cleverly draws a cut off line for campaigning in Bengal giving Modi time to campaign but cutting off TMC meeting. 'Eloquence of silence !"- the joke is on us as citizens of India.
So it's great that a Kerala girl sings a Himachali song. That becomes an example of "One India. Great India". Ok. Give me one counter example. Any UP/Bihari/Himachal girl sings a Malayalam song ? Still waiting .....
