Let's see who's the vulture who preys over the dead. #Pulwama.
Let's put aside that he was busy shooting. The main opposition declared "no politics over tragedy".
And the vulture swooped in, asking for votes in the name of martyrs.

Not for the first time. He was there, right in front of the Taj, addressing the press, as #MumbaiAttack was unfolding behind him. There's more.
+
Flyover collapses in Calcutta. The vulture is there. Seems the tragedy was a message from God, to vote for his party.
+
#Manipur has been literally burning for a month. His HM didn't have the time till last week to "take stock of the situation". Meanwhile, his IT Cell was activated to pick a side and further aggravate an already complicated situation.
Everything about this man is vile. And evil.

Excerpts from the diary of a technocrat-politician.
Day 0.
19:25 PM. Horrific news coming in from an Eastern state. Massive accident involving an iconic train, a goods train & another train. Details still sketchy. But casualties feared to be very high. Should leave for ground

zero immediately.
19:40 PM. Instructed them to setup a situation room in the nearest junction. Will monitor the rescue operations from there.
20:07 PM. Got a call from the Big Leader's office. With instructions to not reach before midnight. And announce my arrival via social

media. (I'll never understand their ways).
23:56 PM. About to land. But can't help going back to late February when my officers had brought to my notice that something like this could happen. When I wanted to raise this in the next cabinet meeting, I recieved a WA, "Tum Abhi

2 arguments have come up from the RW ecosystem, to counter crisis. #WrestlersProtest. Put @MrsGandhi's argument in the corporate context.
Imagine, you're a bright woman. The management spots potential. Sponsors your skill development programs. You perform. You get bonus &
promotion. But the moment you accept these, you basically surrender your right to say "No" or resist advances from sexual predators.
That's what you were implying, right @MrsGandhi?
Now, let's come to the #TrainAccident. According to #MeToo accused @Suhelseth, the

Railway Minister has an outstanding CV. So it's "foolish" to demand for his registration for what's probably the worst disaster. Would your management give you a lifeline for a failure that your department is responsible for? Because you've a strong CV?
Here's #ToolKit of the RW ecosystem....on how to cause distraction and diversion from the main issue. 1. Whataboutery.
There's an accident today. In India. Let's talk about accidents in US. In India in 2004. Normally started lower down the chain.

2. Conspiracy theories. Wilder they are, the better. This is where the big ones get involved. They slip in the tried and tested "Hindu x Muslim" narrative.

3. Hindu x Muslim. The ultimate trump card. How the "others" are mocking the tragedy. This is the proverbial straw for the drowning man.

#NaakamiKe9Saal
9 years of disaster. There are so many instances, that it would be tough to pick just 9.
Here's my list. 1. #Demonetisation. That one stroke of stupidity that literally broke the nation's back.
#NaakamiKe9Saal 2. #Pulwama
Still remains a mystery, how a vehicle loaded with explosives could move around, undetected, in J&k, one of the most militarised regions in the world. What was more shameful than this was how BJP used this tragedy for electoral gains.

#NaakamiKe9Saal 3. #JammuAndKashmir
Art. 370 was abrogated. J&K stopped being a state. Was carved out into 2 UTs. With the objectives of bringing peace & development to the region. Result? We've ended with 2 UTs with seething discontent below the surface.
