So the #Maharashtra governor has recommended President’s rule. There will be only one political party rejoicing over this development and that says much about how damaging the Congress’ dithering has been.

@Shudraism Agree. Denying oxygen to the toxic flames around is critical, even if it means enlisting the services of a co-arsonist. It sounds both absurd and sensible even as if I type this!
Must say I am torn on whether the Congress should have any truck with the Sena in #maharashtra. Sure, it would mean an ideological compromise (past dalliances notwithstanding) but the alternative - of not seeing an opposition government installed - possibly has graver long-term implications for sustaining the same values that the Congress reluctance is said to be upholding.
@AparnnaHajirnis Mubaraks are in order I suppose.
@Khalidfaridi To the extent that the BJP has been outsmarted, indeed humbled. Striking a winning posture has been part of their mental disintegration tactics for a while now, and the jolt was needed to give a much needed sense of opposition.
‘Chanakya’ is trumped by an old ally. The BJP will not be staking a claim to form the next government in #maharashtra.
A bilious campaign. A broken structure. Crude triumphalism. A fatiguing trial. At the end, diseased minds, broken hearts, numb consciences. Healing won’t be easy. #AYODHYAVERDICT
#WeightWatchers will get this. It took me two months to lose what I have gained in the last two days.
@jamewils The problem with atonement is that the onus is on the perpetrator to define/ concede the degree of injury inflicted and suitable reparations for it. It - atonement - can be powerful in the hands of a Gandhi but mere tokenism - and insulting - in the hands of base beings.
