"The political options that people have been in search of that door has been opened because of the Bengal elections. We expected it in Tamil Nadu, Kerala - but in Bengal..." | @svaradarajan talks about what today's #ElectionResults mean.
@svaradarajan "...For Bengal to stand its ground, and voters to decide that they would not let themselves, their society to be divided by religion... to not just save its government but to bring a magnificent win.
This is by itself a message on a national scale."
@svaradarajan .@svaradarajan recalls that when Mamata Banerjee put out a message calling for the opposition to unite against the BJP on a national level, Modi responded to say that Mamata has realised she's lost the Bengal elections....
Time may have passed, but our leaders’ understanding of how this virus spreads and what measures need to be taken to curb it does not seem to be benefitting from science, the experiences before them or even common sense. thewire.in/politics/bjp-l…
As reports of scarcity for oxygen supply pour in, Union minister Piyush Goyal thinks state governments are to blame as they aren’t “controlling” demand enough.
His remarks were widely criticised and #TooMuchOxygen began to trend on Twitter.

Petrol and diesel prices have surged in India over the last six weeks, largely tracking a rise in global prices, with Brent crude oil crossing $63 a barrel two days ago and gaining nearly over 50% since October 2020 so far.
According to Indian Oil, the retail selling price of petrol on February 16 was Rs 89.29. Out of this, a whopping Rs 53.51 is because of VAT (value-added tax) and excise duty.
Nearly 60% of the price that you paid at a Delhi petrol pump yesterday was due to taxes that your local government and central government chose to levy on you.
