What is it about

's extended presence in Assam that makes BJP so uncomfortable? It's not just Himanta Biswa Sarma's personal animosity towards him.
It's this.
A thread🧵.

BJP-RSS आपकी संस्कृति, भाषा और इतिहास को मिटाना चाहती है।
आपके पूर्वजों द्वारा दी गई शिक्षा को खत्म करना चाहती है।
BJP-RSS के लोग असम को नागपुर से चलाना चाहते हैं, जो हम कभी नहीं होने देंगे।
असम को असम से चलाया जाएगा और आपकी संस्कृति का सम्मान किया जाएगा।

I'm yet to see a head of govt from another country coming to India and painting a sorry image of his country. Why do you need to carry your domestic politics abroad? Why do you need to badmouth your predecessors? Unless you're incapable appreciating the gravity of your chair.

Stop politicising the unfortunate Balasore tragedy because track record of Railway Ministers, under the UPA, to put it mildly, was nothing short of disaster. Ironically, these ‘worthies’ are the ones demanding resignation of the most qualified Railway Minister India has had in
The space didn't shrink Malini. You ceded space.
Forget being fair & neutral. You were biased. And rather eloquent about it. You've pushed Hindu to the point of no return.
My term as Chairperson of The Hindu Group Publishing ends. However, I have also resigned from the Board of the THGPPL as I find the space and scope for my editorial views shrinking. My entire endeavour as Chairperson and Director, Editorial Strategy was to ensure that The Hindu

And this guy is the most insensitive and inhuman person in known history.
A man on crutches is left standing while the despicable man, who incidentally happens to be the PM, is seated comfortably.
Absolutely shameful.
This guy is the most problematically dimwitted person I’ve ever seen.
Rahul Gandhi tried shaking hand with physically disabled person on the wheelchair without an arm… unbelievable!
Jamshedji Tata bought a bankrupt oil mill at Chinchpokli in 1869 & converted it into a cotton mill.

VHP had all the permissions for taking out the Ramanavami Shobha Yatra from BE College to Ramkrishnapur Ghat. They were on the approved route. Mamata Banerjee lied when she said the route had been changed. She prejudiced the investigation and law enforcement agencies. Shameful…
The image is from 30th June, 1986.
That was the day, when the historic Mizo Peace Accord was signed.
Now tell me what's odd in this photo?
The then PM Rajiv Gandhi, instrumental in pushing through this Accord, is missing from the frame. Odd? Let's go back to the 80s.
Contd.
Sonia Gandhi's mother passed away on 27th, Sat'day. And we got to know of it after 4 days. Just a simple press release. No effort to milk a personal tragedy.
Now imagine if it was the person who takes along an army of photographers to meet his mother.
Leaving this as a thought.
While the railways tumble from one disaster to the next, the Minister gets busy with election work for the Maharashtra assembly polls. And it's been what? Less than 48 hrs?
Railway Minister can’t stop rail accidents and overcrowding in trains
Education Minister can’t stop paper leaks and exam scams
Home Minister can’t stop terrorist attacks and Manipur violence

Can Rahul Gandhi afford to talk? Congress ruled for seven decades in which most prime ministers came from his family. Why were they unable to provide clean water, sanitation and other basic needs?
