Why did BJP give up on the CM position in Maharashtra?

Here is what I think: While the Shinde faction has got control of the legislative party, the political Party that is Shiv Sena is still in control of the Uddhav faction.

By making Shinde the CM, BJP has paved the way for Shinde to bid for total control of the Sena, including the party symbol.

Any common Muslim can come nonchalantly and then suddenly execute his Jihad on us Kaffirs!

This unwatchable video is of cold blooded murder of a Hindu tailor, merely for his SM post in support of Nupur Sharma The Islamic terror is now at our gates. What are we going to do about it?

Brilliant speech of the Communist MP exposing the system of Judges appointing Judges has made the Judiciary Brahmin dominated.

Shouldn't Lord Chardachud, the next Brahmin CJI be passed over? Despite being a dynast, Rahul Gandhi has to face elections and an Amethi can throw him out.

The dynasts of Judiciary, rockstars like Charachud have to face no test, no qualification, no criteria.

We have no option but to suffer the tyranny!

In the times of the food scarcity of 1960, the monoculture of wheat and paddy made sense.

Today, the MSP system has led to a situation where wheat and paddy is being grown to rot, not only at great cost to us taxpayers, but also to our environment and to farmers. Left to market forces, there is a natural feedback; if consumer demand for millet grows, the prices increase, sending a feedback to grow more of it in the next cycle, a glut in a commodity will send the price crashing and will be grown less in the next cycle.

If farmers must be respected, because they put food in the plate then why not the construction worker, who built the home that you live in?

Let's demand State subsidies and freebies for construction workers, paid by us taxpayers, just like we do for the farmers. Farmers are like any other producers and businessmen, they must be respected just like any other producer.

Today, Dubai gets much better food in its plates than Bathinda, even as UAE has no farmers.

Building food supply chain is most critical.

One reason India did not do well for so long after independence was that it had false heros. Gandhi held sway on Congress and could hold it to ransom at will. On the treat of fast unto death.

He used that power to the hilt for not letting democratically elected leaders like Bose or Patel preside.

I didnt see anyone justifying any rapes. Only some amusement being expressed as to how some heinous crimes become national headlines, while others are ignored.

What is the criteria that the Media establishment applies? Why is the conscience of the establishment for sale? A crime is a crime is a crime. We should ask for strict law enforcement, swift investigation, meticulous prosecution and speedy Justice in every case.

But who is interested in all this, when playing politics over the dead bodies is the only objective.

This deliberate misinformation is shameful!

Are FCI, Govt Procurement system, the Mandis being dismantled? No, none of that, only their monopoly is being dismantled.

Farmers will continue to have all the options they had, plus more. Let's not infantalise the farmers. This age of every farmer having a mobile with internet, we need full freedom for our farmers.

Why India's farm productivity (crop yield per acre) one third of countries like Netherlands, and lower than even Bangladesh?

Why Indian farmers' crop choices limited to few crops like wheat & sugarcane? How is that countries like Singapore, Arabia etc that don't grow much food manage stable consumer prices, with no ECA?

In Noida, transfer charges for a flat is as high as 23% of the transaction value, despite stamp duty being 5%.

Beside stamp duty to the @UPGovt, the @noida_authority charges an exorbitantly high transfer fees and now the AOAs(RWA) have started charging upto 1% for the transfer @UPGovt @noida_authority The Stamp duty and the Noida Authority transfer charges are calculated on the so called sector rate, which is currently as high as 150% of the the market value. So a 5% stamp duty anyway becomes 7.5%.

Federalism is a two way street. If the Federalism mean that the States have some autonomy and freedom, they also have to take the fiscal responsibility for it.

Union cant bankroll the States. This #ChineseVirus is a force majeure. The Union cannot compensate the States for the revenue deficit, that is caused by this black swan event.

What option a salaried taxpayer has, other than 'honestly' paying not only the taxes but all the cesses that your Govt has imposed, while non-salaried can evade all of that.

Until your Govt rationalises the direct taxes and cesses, all this seems like a cruel joke on salaried. Is this why that your Govt could not bring a new, simpler Direct Tax Code in six years and the Income Tax Act of 1961, with thousands of amendments is still applicable?

Meerut Expressway continues to get delayed because of the farmers disrupting the work for one flimsy demand or other.

Even tens of crores of compensation is not enough to satisfy the greed. And if you were wondering how that tens of crores of compensation for India's development is spent by the farmers.

Is it true that the VRV system can be four times more energy efficient that the best of the inverter split ACs?

Any expert on my TL, please advise as I'm considering for my home (total cooling tonnage needed is 10.5 ton) Image The vendors have quoted a 12hp single outdoor unit and 7 indoor units with a cost estimate of 7 lakh. The cost is more than double that of the most efficient inverter split ACs.

Is it worth it?
