2/2 Its capitulation points to the pervasive atmosphere of fear & intimidation that some have unleashed in the country. India has changed unrecognizably for the worse from the country I grew up in. Never thought i'd see the day when purveying communal hatred is the new normal! — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 This is a sad ending to the @TanishqJewelry ad controversy: https://t.co/TxXVZEZzOL Strange that a brand whose advertising is intended to show it's bold&different, in order to attract people away from their traditional conservative family jewellers, should cave in so quickly. — PolitiTweet.org

It seems we need two letterheads for our present governors. Should a Governor express contempt for the Constitutional value of secularism on the letter-paper of a constitutional authority, complete with Ashoka Pillar & SatyamevaJayate, or does he need Party stationery instead?! — PolitiTweet.org

If we can provide 24/7 electricity & high-speed broadband in our rural areas as President Kalam had suggested, why can't we work "virtually" from villages under WFH, instead of crowding into congested urban agglomerations? https://t.co/KZqFVEqDUq — PolitiTweet.org

@bharatjoshi2911 @nitin_gadkari On the contrary, his spirit is uncommon in our politics, so it's the right word. Nothing ungracious in declaring what a rare politician he is in today's partisan environment. — PolitiTweet.org

Uncommonly gracious of @nitin_gadkari ji to acknowledge me by name twice & thank me for my role in making this NH bypass a reality. Such decency across party lines is sadly rare in our polarised politics. I salute this Minister for his efficiency & focus on results. Jai Hind. — PolitiTweet.org

Thereafter we found a responsive &action-oriented Minister in @nitin_gadkari ji, &worked closely w/ @NHAI_Official on the ground to resolve over a hundred issues w/the communities of areas where the highway ran. It is now a collective triumph for development. But more to be done! — PolitiTweet.org

Attending the inauguration of the Thiruvananthapuram-Mukkola stretch of NationalHighway 66, one of my proudest projects.

So the feedback I'm getting so far is that despite the far-from-discreet questions from Karan Thapar, this interview was worth doing. Do you all agree? Or should I too join the don't-ask-me-I'll-tell-you style of media management exemplified by our PM? https://t.co/GD3FWbBniJ — PolitiTweet.org
