1/ #PoliticallySpeaking

The demolition of Kangana's illegal office premises couldnt have happened at a better time for Shiv Sena.

Shiv Sena and their Chief Uddhav Thackrey have been on a backfoot since the time they hugged and cuddled with the MVA twosome of NCP and
2/ Congress.

Over the period of Uddhav Thackrey becoming the CM till now, UT has been relegated as the "Puppet of Pawar" and Aditya has been shoved around being called the "Pappu of Shiv Sena".

So much that on ground, the murmurs in the Sainik groups gave an evident
3/ inclinations of them thinking their boss being spineless and a "no match to Balasaheb".

There was a growing resentment in the Sainiks of the swing of the Sena leadership away from the confrontational and aggressive politics that Sena has been known for and have garnered
4/ a vote bank from.

Meanwhile, the #JusticeForSSR was losing momentum and its credibility as 3 top investigaton agencies could find nothing more than gossip and 59 gms of ganja.

Enter Kangana with her rabid vitriol and the Fadanvis camp of BJP wholeheartedly backing her.
5/ "Muhfatt hai, benefit le lete hai" was the obvious strategy being used by BJP as they happily placed their guns on Kangana's shoulders and fired away at the CM putting him in a corner.

But Kangana is Kangana and you never ever fire your gun from the shoulders of a crazy
6/ person coz you never know which way that person would turn.

Kangana's comments comparing Mumbai with Pakistan and Mumbai Police with "Babur's Army" did not go down well with the staunch "Jai Bhavani Jai Shivaji" supporters.

She single handedly shifted whatever support
7/ BJP enjoyed in Maharashtra (from the non Bhakts) away from the BJP.

BJP leaders have been trapped and are visibly at discomfort trying to distance themselves from her comments against the pride of "Marathi Manoos" while still trying to clutch at straws and see if this
8/ can be used to attack the Sena-NCP-Congress Govt.

The demolition of Kangana's office does not appear to be a knee jerk reaction at all.

It was a well planned move which brought the Sena back into action, in its original form, and yet did not have to get on the streets,
9/ blacken someone's face and parade him/her on a donkey.

The move by BMC itself can be debated.

Is it one made out of vengeance ... hell yeah !!!

Is it politically motivated .... Absolutely.

Is the timing suspect ..... suspect?? its a confirmation.

And yet, all
10/ they did was demolish an illegal structure and were perfectly within their rights to do so.

Those people who are going around shouting, "So why not they demolished other illegal structures" are just the offshoots of "What about Malda?".

There is no written word which
11/ says that all criminals of one crime should be rounded up before one criminal can be taken action against. Such a demand is just plain stupid.

So while the actions of BMC can be faulted for being politically motivated, what you cannot fault them for is doing what is a
12/ legal thing to do. Which makes taking sides very tricky.

The Sena used legal means to extract vengeance against a rabid hatemonger...... this is the most you can fault them for, any way you put it.

All in all this move works in the advantage of the Sena putting them
13/ right back on the driver's seat of the Maharashtra Politics.

The move sends a clear message to the Sainiks .... "Tiger Zinda Hai".

He is just a smarter and probably a softer tiger.

The spirit of Lalbaug Paral and Dadar Sainiks is one of jubiliation as they watch
14/ their leaders come back with the same aggression that they were used to.

With this episode Shiv Sena has scored a big one with their vote bank.

As for those who are talking about the "Right" and the "Wrong", remember your votes and my vote doesnt count much.

Would
15/ Sena like our votes? Sure...

Would Sena like our votes at the cost of their own votebank? Hell no....

As for Kangana .... she will do what she does till she can do it till the patronage of BJP lasts for her.

That she would get a BJP ticket would only happen if BJP is
16/ stupid enough to let loose a raving ranting knucklehead in their own camp.

That she will become the "face of BJP" against MVA is a concluson which is laughable at the best and immature at the worst.

As far as Maharashtra is concerned, "Mumbai is Pakistan Occupied
17/ Kashmir" has just put her in a severe disfavor with anyone who does not belong to the Kangana camp.

Disclaimer: Those who are giving advice to Shiv Sena on how they should be doing politics, remember, the MVA was formed and the BJP was totally outfoxed and outwitted
18/ because of the strategy of Sharad Pawar and the compliance shown by Shiv Sena and Congress ... not because of your "well meaning" advice.

#MedicalStudent #UkraineRussie @GastroOneIndia
As the government of India is with the 20,000 students who have come back from Ukraine or are in the process of coming back, I will believe what Scindia said on board the air craft that brought them back that Government of
India is with them in every step if;

Government of India ensures that these 20,000 students get immediate admission in MBBS Course in India.

Government of India waves their fees for MBBS Course.

Government of India brings back students from all over the world who
are out doing MBBS Course and gives them admission in India at the same fees that they were paying abroad.

Government of India allows them to continue from the same stage in their studies in India without subjecting them to any entrance examination or

#MedicalStudent #UkraineCrisis
One student has been killed in shelling in Ukraine. He is from Karnataka.

BJP IT-Cell and its Twitter Army is blaming the student for being outside and not following advisories issued by Modi Sarkar. They are blaming him for getting killed.
They want to protect the image of Modi Sarkar at all cost. Even if they sound completely ridiculous in doing so.

They are almost saying that this student went and stood outside in the open and then ran under a falling shell and decided to kill himself while Modi G was trying to
save him.

And why call the rescue operation from Ukraine as Operation Ganga? What an asshole. Why not call it Operation Narmada or Operation Satluj? Everything that happens will be used to garner votes. Even deaths will be used to garner votes. Remember Pulwama? 42 Soldiers

#UkraineRussiaWar
Before the help pleas started to appear on social media, our PM did not even know that so many students from India are studying abroad. And his response is so typical, instead of working to bring them back, he questions why they are in Ukraine in
the first place?

Idiot, they don't get admissions here in India for medicine seats because you have been busy building world tallest statutes, grand temples, central vista, a new parliament, new house for yourself with an underground tunnel to
the parliament and air crafts worth 8000 Crores!

This is just like he did not know that stray cows, bulls and other cattle were creating mayhem in UP, Bihar and other states of the country.

#DefendUkraine #NoWarWithRussia
WHO WILL BE UKRAINE'S PAKISTAN?
Afghans inside and outside the country fought the Russians as ferociously as they later fought the Americans. They had bases in Pakistan, and western arms and Saudi money were funneled through it. It took a good bit
for itself too. But by helping them Pakistan also destroyed itself. Who will be Ukraine's Pakistan? Bruce Riedel, a former CIA grandee examines the issues involved. Meanwhile Russia has gone on a nuclear alert.

The Soviets never sent enough soldiers to defeat the insurgents and
could not recruit enough Afghans to fight with them. The Pakistanis were not intimidated by the Russians. The Afghan people fought for their independence.

The Afghan analogy offers important questions for the new war in Ukraine. Which state or states will be the frontline sponso

7th November 2020.

The rural minds find this fascinating.

Here is a man, who has dropped out of school. They know that he is just 9th Pass. Yet, he is the son of one time CM of Bihar, Lalu Prasad Yadav. He was the Deputy CM before Nitish Kumar's Antar
Atma decided to act up. Overnight he was thrown out and betrayed and Nitish Kumar formed a government with BJP, a party that it fought elections against in 2015.

This man now heads the RJD. His father is in jail. He travels by a helicopter. He
sits with the likes of Rahul Gandhi and is fact a larger partner in the Grand Alliance.

This man promises 1 Million Jobs at the first cabinet meeting because so many vacancies exist in the system. He speaks only on this subject. They know that he might not deliver the whole pie

IT AIN'T OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS

In 1991, soon after the coup attempt that confined Mikhail Gorbachev to a villa in Sochi, India's MEA still very Soviet influenced, got PM PV Narasimha Rao to make a comment to the extent that Gorbachev was paying the price for
rushing in the "reforms" much too fast. The dominant influences in the MEA refused to consider the possibility of the USSR demising.

The circumstances in the USA are entirely different but still not dissimilar. Trump is being swept out of office
(despite Modi campaigning for him) but he is not going to go easily. According to the US Constitution and convention he should go by Jan 20. But it is quite likely he might squat in the White House for longer. Modi should lie low and India should at best issue an anodyne
