@thomasJins @KuldeepSharmaMP Yes, I have very high regard for @KuldeepSharmaMP, who is smart, passionate& talented too. However since no MP can exercise executive responsibilities, he cannot substitute for the authorities whose failures i had reported in my previous tweet. MPs cannot test, vaccinate,or treat — PolitiTweet.org

Control of narrative has always mattered more to this BJP Govt than substance. "DailyGuardian" & "TheAustraliaToday" are little more than parody websites to spout BJP propaganda, disguised as international media. BJP reduced Indian media to a parody, but here the worm has turned! — PolitiTweet.org

“One of the greatest advantages of the totalitarian elites of the 1920s &1930s was to turn any statement of fact into a question of motive.” ~Hannah Arendt Of course @JPNadda wasn't born when Arendt wrote those words, but his BJP apologists resort routinely to this old technique! — PolitiTweet.org

@collectortvpm @navjotk28 In these challenging times, it is reassuring to see the district in the hands of a capable, committed & responsive officer. I wish @collectortvpm & her staff good health & safety as they manage the extraordinary challenges facing us all during this #Covid pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

@collectortvpm @navjotk28 Took the opportunity to raise concerns about severe sea inundation& coastal erosion affecting the fishing villages of Valiyathura, Pozhiyoor&Paruthiyoor. Granite boulders are urgently needed to prevent strong waves washing away the homes of poor fisherfolk. Was assured of action. — PolitiTweet.org

@collectortvpm @navjotk28 With a strict lockdown proving more effective this week, she is hopeful that cases will come down in 10-12 days. We discussed the vaccination situation & the shortage of oxygen concentrators in our local hospitals. The need to build up capacity for the long term is also evident. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Had an excellent, lengthy& detailed discussion from my sickbed with @collectortvpm @navjotk28 on the situation in Thiruvananthapuram, based on the reports i receive daily from my constituency. #Covid is still at peak levels of 4000 cases a day & over 40,000 active, 3x last year. — PolitiTweet.org

Communist leader &rebel KR Gouri, who parted from the CPM in 1994 & even joined the INC-led UDF for a decade, passed away today at 102 years of age. An iconic figure of Kerala Left politics & architect of land reform, a towering female leader has gone: https://t.co/7ccPWFgVF3 — PolitiTweet.org

An interesting idea by two young citizens, one still in Class XII, for "drive-through" vaccination facilities in metropolitan settings to avoid the risk of contagion from crowded vaccination centres: https://t.co/jpCcJjyLBH — PolitiTweet.org

During UPA, accountability was never dodged, even when fault wasn't proven: mistakes were corrected, ministries reassigned, policies altered &above all public opinion respected. Can the present govt point to a single example of any of this in the face of such cataclysmic failure? — PolitiTweet.org

PIO friends tell me that people wanting to renew their OCI cards are being charged an extra $3 — to go to the #PMCares fund. But can GOI tell us what's in this fund & what it's been spent on? #PMCaresFund_का_हिसाब_दो — PolitiTweet.org

Disturbed to receive reports of a deteriorating #COVID situation in the Andamans, stories of 4-5 deaths daily at the GB Pant Hospital, figures of cases& deaths allegedly suppressed, no testing even of symptomatic cases, only 50 ventilators for 4 lakh people. Media sadly silent. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

So the Finance Ministry says the Centre IS spending its allocated 35,000 crores on vaccines & transferring them to the states in kind. https://t.co/pi5Rye3eoX But this begs the question, if GOI is doing that, why is there a price differential for vaccines bought by the States? — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

I support the demand of the Kerala Union of Working Journalists (KUWJ) to include media persons among 'frontline warriors' in the fight against #COVID, in order to get them priority for vaccines& insurance benefits accorded to health workers. https://t.co/vM63vDTLPU — PolitiTweet.org

Unbelievably tragic, @harsh_mander. It is so sad to see our Indian democracy reduced to this state. Bail,not jail, used to be the mantra in such cases. What is happening to our human values that a daughter imprisoned for a political protest isn't allowed to meet her dying father? — PolitiTweet.org
