It seems YSR govt tried to shut down Gopi's Badminton academy:
Government Ruins Gopichand's Academy Dream
India's badminton scene has become mired in politics after former All England champion Pullela Gopichand's hopes of starting an academy was foiled by a state leader.
Gopichand, India's last All England men's singles winner was moving ahead with building his academy on land given as a gift by the government.
However, according to media reports, YSR Reddy, the chief minister of Indian state Andhra Pradesh, has ordered that the land be returned.
The Pullela Gopichand Badminton Academy was meant to be one of the best in India, to complement that of another Indian All England champion, Prakash Padukone, who runs a school in Bangalore.
The land was a gift from former state leader Chandrababbu Naidu. However, his successor, Reddy, wants the land to be given to the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh instead.
The government's decision is based on the fact that the academy will have a swimming pool and tennis court in order to help with the overall development of badminton players.
The government is adamant that these facilities will be of no use to badminton players. According to Indian media, the government order read as follows:
"The plan submitted shows that in the remaining area what is proposed are Children Play Area, Tennis court, and Swimming pool which are neither critical to Badminton Academy nor constructed upon."
Gopichand, not surprisingly, was devastated by the decision. He was quoted as saying: "I have read this news in the newspapers. But clearly the government has alloted this land to build a sports and badminton academy and not badminton courts alone.
"If you want an academy, across training and sport is a very important thing. We need other sports also to be played because otherwise you are using the same set of muscles over and over again."
Apart from the heartbreak of seeing his dream academy destroyed, Gopichand may also face financial difficulties because of a hefty loan he took out to build the complex.
He said: "I think personally there is a lot of effort put in. Not only the money part of it, but the amount of effort gone on to build this is tremendous. That's something which we can't even measure."
Could also see a few other media hit jobs against him....the problems people have to go through.
Lets hope Gopichand at least gets the funds necessary now to build his dream academy....
Classic example of how a lot of news/attacks/"famous pictures" are manufactured:

Then...Evil aggressive Bajrang Dal worker:
How this photograph happened:
Now With Qutub Udin Ansari, talks about "Dalit Muslim unity"

IN AP & TN, most people ignored the SC rulings on jallikattu & bull-cart racing. But the larger & more popular/well known events had to be cancelled.
Indian bureaucrats & judiciary have the mentality of -"If it's not regulated, it is illegal & wrong." Or "Unless it is allowed by us, it should not be allowed to happen". This is not liberalism.(or classical liberalism as I call it)
Such stuff is typical of those who support Big government & left wing views
They know she is one of them & is doing this for minority votes. They will still support her.
Try @realitycheckind on twitter too to understand how the left-liberal group works in courts & the judiciary & the dangers of leftist big govt. legislation.
For economic RWers & libertarians, do try @ScrewedbyState
Does anyone know what happened to @SighBaboo, used to be a very useful handle, especially when combined with Reality Check India, you could literally see money transfer, propaganda and legislation from source to the end point of the Media-NGO-court nexus. Really miss that guy. His handle was deleted when I last checked, hope he is safe.

So 30 seats for AAP is no fluke.
Hence, Goa belongs to AAP.
Most Goans are for AAP, they are disillusioned by BJP style of functioning.
Down the road, it will be Modi vs kejriwal on national level. It would be uncivilized to think otherwise.
Very soon, when the rubber meets the road, Kejriwal will pocket 2 more states in his pocket, and this is when these PDF right wingers are whining and losing their sleep in the process.
Haryana & Gujarat with sizable votes.
Good progress on national level.
Compared with this, Mamta, Jaya & NIKU with only one state.
Who would be a PM davedar in this respect then?
Shri Kejriwal. The most honest politician of India.
Indians do not want a PM who follows Ruffians on social media.
But they (youngsters) are not fools either. If a person like ABV can be thrown out with just a single term, Modi kis khet ki muli hai dada?
Modi, you reap what you sow.
2019, you WILL NOT have 282.
Enough said!
While Kejriwal is followed by apx 9 million people on Twitter, Amit Shah does not have even 1/3rd followers.
ROFOL...What a (ruling party) BJP President!
Do you happen to enjoy scotch per chance?
No. I do not drink. And anyway I am living with my parents for time being.
