As usual @BJP4India has thrown the entire might into state assembly elections. Leading from the front are PM @narendramodi and HM @AmitShah criss crossing the country from #Assam to #WestBengal to #TamilNadu to #Kerala. Did you see this frenzy in @INCIndia? That's the difference.
BJP's leaders incl party chief @JPNadda UP CM @myogiadityanath MP CM @ChouhanShivraj Tripura CM @BjpBiplab Assam CM @sarbanandsonwal campaigned in the states going to polls. Union Minister's @rajnathsingh @nsitharaman @smritiirani @PiyushGoyal @girirajsinghbjp all helped out.
Party MPs like @M_Lekhi was roped in to campaign in Pandalam and tribal areas of Kerala. BJP's election juggernaut is an awesome combination that does not end with its leaders. It filters down to the dedicated, hardworking Karyakarthas and panna pramukhs. No wonder, BJP wins.
On the other hand, @INCIndia had three dozen leaders listed as 'star campaigners'. @RahulGandhi was seen doing team building games in colleges and dancing on stage. @priyankagandhi came and left as if she was a tourist posing for photographs. One cannot be a part time politician.
BJP takes every election seriously. From 2 seats in 1980s to 300 plus seats, now, in Lok Sabha. I remember how BJP threw in everything it had into GHMC elections in Hyderabad in December. @AmitShah to @myogiadityanath everyone pitched in. BJP seats in GHMC went up from 4 to 48.

I grew up in #OsmaniaUniversity from my school level onwards. I have seen how PDSU and RSU, student union fronts for naxal groups going about brainwashing students, some of whom were brilliant engineers. #Marx & #Mao were bandied about as the best things that happened to mankind.
Many of these students were indoctrinated into what was then called CPI (ML) People's War Group led by Kondapalli Seetharamaiah. The heady romance of gun and revolution was an abyss into which these unfortunate souls were sucked into. It was a point of no return for many of them.
OU, Kakatiya University and REC Warangal were perfect recruiting grunds for naxal outfits. Many students who came from poor families had witnessed how the rich zamindars had subjected their parents to humiliation. That was the sales pitch which the naxal recruiters worked on.

@RahulGandhi 1. Cost of bare bone aircraft was Rs 526 crores. A fully loaded one including Missiles, Avionics, Navigation, Performance Guarantee all add to costs.

2. Last of 126 Aircraft would have arrived only after 10 years from now.

3. Anil Ambani is not making any Rafale in India.
@RahulGandhi Contd...

1. Quote given to UPA by Dassault was not followed up by then Govt as it had no money. Once a quote is received a multi disciplinary services team is set up to negotiate rate of fully loaded aircraft. Rs 526 crores was for an aircraft without anything. Just the shell.
@RahulGandhi If the deal was so cheap why did UPA government not close the deal for more than 5 years. Why did then Defence Minister AK Antony admit in Parliament that UPA Govt was not going ahead as it had no money. Dassault also indicated that amount quoted had 15% appreciation every year.

Finally, the noose is tightening around @vijayanpinarayi following seizure of 30 kgs of Gold in Diplomatic Baggage of UAE Consulate at Tiruvananthapuram airport. A senior official of Information Technology Dept of Kerala Govt in CM's Office, Swapna Suresh, is the main accused.
Following seizure of Gold, the first call to influence the probe went out from office of Chief Minister of Kerala, Mr Pinayrai Vijayan. Union Government should get to the bottom of this case. Swapna was removed from her job from UAE Consulate, Tiruvananthapuram, a few months ago.
Swapna had earlier worked at Tiruvananthapuram Airport as an Air India SATS employee. She was accused of illegal activities by an Air India staffer. She later made a false allegation of sexual harrasment against him by forging the signatures of 18 lady employees of Air India.
