No joke, Shashi Tharoor should be the Congress's leader and PM candidate. He is perhaps the most articulate and relatable politician in India.
i want India to be a Hindu theocracy just to spite them
I'd rather he stuck it out and lead an opposition party whether that be Congress (without the parasitic Gandhis) or an entirely new party (less likely- see AAP's failure to expand its presence). If the former were to happen I can only hope the Gandhis are forced to remove every link they have with politics for good, I don't want another MMS situation where they are pulling the strings behind the scenes.He is the right guy in the wrong party.High time he joins BJP

He will never become PM , too many skeletons in his closet. Unfortunately the Indian system is set up to corrupt everyone even those who want to be honest.No joke, Shashi Tharoor should be the Congress's leader and PM candidate. He is perhaps the most articulate and relatable politician in India.
So ja beta warns Judge ajayega
As it stands I find the Gandhi family intolerable and by extension the Congress party. How any self-respecting human being can bow down to a single family and worship them to the extent they do is mind-boggling.
Constructive is the most important point here. For far too long now India's opposition have cast aside national interest for petty politics and this goes for BOTH the BJP and Congress. Whatever opposition exists needs to take their job seriously- to hold the GoI accountable but not take it literally- opposing EVERYTHING the GoI does for the sake of it. How many parliament sessions in a row have we seen scuppered by these dirty antics now?Well you're not wrong we need a strong & a constrictive opposition if we ever want to be developed
wow, never realized this country has so many things which should be cleaned up... how do you fight against the judiciary itself ?
Death and threat calls to hindus is no news for secular media.
I hope they don't go down that road , not without a total political concensus cutting across all parties , else its highly risky
