Instead of talking about what the fascists and bigots are saying on the #Birdsite , can we talk about ourselves ? The way forward ? The build up of effective resistance ? The changes we want to bring ??

Believe me, it's not as difficult as it's made out. Maharashtra is an example. One man , changed the picture. Faddu is done and dusted.

So, let's talk about the way forward 🙏

@AdvManoj But, do you think in case even Shiv Sena and NC and INC can't form a government, an election will be called?
And in case the govt is formed, do you think it will end up like Karnataka, where they all squabbled and broke away?

@ashlinpmathew :- In Karnataka the allies didn't squabble. MLAs were stolen by Shah.

Maharashtra is different. It has a Pawar

@AdvManoj See, there were differences. I much as I like Siddaramiah, he also instigated trouble with the govt.
Additionally, all the MLAs were bought

You think the coalition govt, if formed, will be more stable?

@ashlinpmathew :- No guess on that one. But can firmly say that a Non BJP government in Maharashtra & keys to Mumbai riches being taken away from the Duo, is of paramount national interest.

@AdvManoj This I agree with whole-heatedly...

Though there is a cynic in me that makes me wonder if it will even last.

@ashlinpmathew @AdvManoj

IMHO, the best solution is for INC/NCP to support the SHS from outside.

Thus, it will help keep the BJP out of power, without serious ideological compromise.

The real need for INC/NCP is to win back voters from VBA/MIM : play the "wasted vote", "B-team of BJP" cards etc., and identify a CM-candidate they can go into the next election with.

In short, play the long game.

@AmitRamesan Sorry. Replacing one thug with another is hardly the solution. @ashlinpmathew @AdvManoj

What would have been be a less-unacceptable solution to the situation, Pradeep?

@AmitRamesan

I don't know Amit. I'd recommend a re-election, but I know those things are expensive.
