Using Address to Nation on national broadcasting facility to target Opposition is not only unprecedented but absolutely reprehensible. It's a new low that can be further lowered only by Modi. What a misfortune for a great country like ours.

Dear Tharoor ji, Rahul is from dynasty, you are not. But Rahul is fighting communal and dictatorial BJP and you are often seen with BJP. So how is dynasty bad and non-dynasty good?

When king turns a pawn When Nakamura hurled Gukesh's king into the crowd of s spectators he didn't realise he had turned a pawn in the hands of market forces that want to make the sedate, dignified sport of chess an agitative, excitable crowd puller.

Shah is twisting facts; Salwa Judum, not Reddy’s verdict, bolstered Maoists
