The success of the Kerala Model in combating #COVID19 has had the political parties in power scrambling to take credit. Hima T.Sam argues that the Model is a triumph of collective modernity, not of communism: https://t.co/YbTJKWbyNh — PolitiTweet.org

This is an amazing ground report from the frontlines, where our pluralist India is gradually being transformed into the HinduRashtra of Gandhiji's nightmares. A must-read: lucidly written, compelling &moving. Shabash @hindureporter! Why can't we see journalism like this in India? — PolitiTweet.org

Former finance minister @PChidambaram_IN and @pravchak outline a few carefully-crafted, realistically cost-estimated ideas for the re-opening and revival of India’s economy. @nistharaman please pay heed. https://t.co/YQgkSqJHaK — PolitiTweet.org

I am proud to say that I used 1cr of my MPLADS funds to finance the R&D that led to this #COVID19 breakthrough at Thiruvananthapuram’s Sree Chitra Institute. Their new test kit will bring sample-to-result time below two hours but SCT didn’t have the money https://t.co/VzYxgvfXWD — PolitiTweet.org

@drharshvardhan @MoHFW_INDIA @vijayanpinarayi @CMOKerala @kgkrishnan05 Thanks for the response @drharshvardhan! You &your colleagues are doing a great job in difficult circumstances. Guess this means that it won’t be long before Thiruvananthapuram is off the hotspot list, as Kerala has categorised it in a lower tier than the most affected districts. — PolitiTweet.org

The issue is over, but this powerful, even savage, dissection of the PM, the pill, the threat & the tweet is a must-read: https://t.co/hnVzHzgBQl @kapskom is emerging as one of our most incisive voices on current politics. Keep it up young man! — PolitiTweet.org

One more batch of 1000 PPE kits, arranged through my MP funds, was delivered in Thiruvananthapuram today. That makes a total of 7100 out of the 9000 PPE kits I ordered for my constituency. We will be prepared if #COVID19 recurs! https://t.co/xMhRpC4fUF — PolitiTweet.org

A but curious as to why Thiruvananthapuram is listed as a #Covid19 hotspot when it has such a great track record!? Perhaps @MoHFW_INDIA can enlighten us? @drharshvardhan @vijayanpinarayi @CMOKerala @kgkrishnan05 — PolitiTweet.org

Testing a man based on his religion and not because he showed symptoms while the true carrier is left unchecked to infect others. Is this an effective strategy for contact tracing & #Covid19? — PolitiTweet.org

@sardesairajdeep @RahulGandhi . The question is not of BJP or @INCIndia IT cells. It’s natural that they’ll show a bias. But what about media? When was the last time a majority of media outlets appreciated any Congress leaders' suggestions&appeals for unity while supporting the government in times of crisis? — PolitiTweet.org

A year ago today I suffered a rather nasty accident in Thiruvananthapuram, lost a lot of blood & took nine stitches in my head. A year later I renew my thanks to our excellent doctors, nurses & healthcare workers who saved me then & who are saving our country today from #covid19. https://t.co/YGAkiBrXlW — PolitiTweet.org

Tune in to my 4th @unacademy lecture of the week at 4 pm today: "The Great Global Lockdown: The Economic Impact of #COVID19". We'll be a little more narrowly focused than the earlier ones! Go to https://t.co/UvRH6m97tf #LearnAtHome #Lockdown https://t.co/W03gTZfj0N — PolitiTweet.org

After I convened three Round Tables on #cleanair under the auspices of @AirQualityAsia over the last 3 yrs & found little traction, we will return to the charge when the #Lockdown is lifted to push for practical measures to make our air more breathable! Nature has shown us why! — PolitiTweet.org

An experiment @PenguinIndia talked me into during the #Lockdown: a serialised novel begun & continued by others had to be brought to a conclusion! (No hard words in this one!): https://t.co/nrgtvON60c — PolitiTweet.org

One bonus of #COVID19 #Lockdown has been cleaner air. When life returns to "normal", let’s seize this opportunity to drive our economy forward without driving air pollution up! My article today: https://t.co/6Dlmp1az5C — PolitiTweet.org

@chintanmistry4 @unacademy 1) there would be no incentive to defect since the MLAs' defection would not bring down the Govt in a presidential system. One elected, you serve your term; a President directly elected by the people does not depend on a legislative majority. 2) it's never too late. — PolitiTweet.org

My analysis of the "Kerala Model" in the fight against #COVID19: emphasis on human development, spending high %age of resources on health care & public education, promoting literacy, women’s empowerment & welfare measures, +efficient administration: https://t.co/wwNJ0w9Qku — PolitiTweet.org
