Worrying but pertinent analysis by Shruti Vyas argues that India has entered a post-ideological era where only welfare populism matters, from Modi to Kejriwal. I can’t help feeling she is right about much of the country — but ideas are worth fighting for! https://t.co/NjJdeLjISh — PolitiTweet.org

While I am usually wary of conspiracy theories, the mounting level of concerns about irregularities in the handling of EVMs requires a serious response from the Election Commission. The official confirmation of “missing EVMs” raises the obvious question, who has them & what for? https://t.co/8lLblBXNlD — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

This is my view entirely. I have always opposed hartals &while people are suffering from government policies, they also suffer from shutdowns. You can protest but no one has the right to prevent other people doing what they need to do. Coercion is not a democratic way of protest. https://t.co/pg3ksLaXP4 — PolitiTweet.org

For instance, in ystrdy's discussion on the BankDeposit Insurance scheme, I wanted to point out that co-operative banks have no insurance provision for their deposits. This makes some of their depositors,esp farmers who may have no other account, vulnerable. #IssuesIWantedToRaise — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, let us have no doubt that tax incentives reflect the direction in which the government wants our society to go. “National integration” advocates waived entertainment tax for “Amar Akbar Anthony”, the abettors of disintegration & disharmony waive it for “Kashmir Files”. — PolitiTweet.org

In SriLanka, a shift to organic farming in 2019 caused 20% drop in rice production, import of $450 million of rice& 50% increase in its domestic price. Organic is better for consumers, but for farmers it involves higher costs & lower yields. Is GoI aware? #IssuesIWantedToRaise — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Today in theLokSabha there was much self-congratulatory talk by BJP MPs about the increase in organic farming in our country. I am all in favour of healthy organics, but shouldn’t we be aware of how SriLanka’s shift to organic farming in 2019 proved disastrous for food security? — PolitiTweet.org

With so many MPs wanting to be heard, one doesn’t always get a chance to take the floor even when one asks the Speaker for an opportunity. I will occasionally share here #IssuesIWantedToRaise. — PolitiTweet.org

I deplore that as well, all the more so since the judge was acting in his own interest (he claimed the music was disturbing him since he lived next door). Neena Prasad is one of the most famous Mohiniattam exponents and deserved better than to be so rudely interrupted by police. — PolitiTweet.org

Other faiths go out of their way to attract others to respect their religion, throwing open the doors of mosques, churches, gurudwaras& synagogues to all, but some of my fellow Hindus prefer to shut our temples to outsiders: https://t.co/BKPCiBbbZH Where's "vasudaiva kutumbakam"? — PolitiTweet.org
