Well he has a point.
After 60 years, the clothes we people are wearing, was it Modi's hardwork? The air we are breathing.... is it due to Suit boot wali sarkar?
Look around you.... the big peepal tree in your village is not 1 year old. It is atleast 50 years since the seed was sown. Thanks to Congress and its visionary leaders, we are what we are. The water, food, air all are thanks to Congress.
To hell with Mudi!

Kolkata food fest to serve unity broth with beef, pork and veg
The programme on November 6 is seen as a response to criticism from the right-wing camp that wanted to know why the beef festival in Kolkata’s Esplanade last Friday did not feature pork —indirectly mocking at the organisers of being pro-Muslim. (Arijit Sen/HT photo)

The menu has beef, pork, fish and vegetarian dishes too — an eclectic choice of culinary spread representing the nation’s food diversity.
It’s not a restaurant but a food festival at College Square in north Kolkata on Friday where one can sit down to taste all these and more in a show of unity and protest rising incidents of intolerance in the country.
A group of Left-leaning students and youth will organise the event and it is already campaigning through social media, although the programme is being organised under no specific banner. While some are associated with Left student organisations, many are into independent filmmaking, poetry and other creative endeavours.
The event comes at a time of rising polarisation over people’s choice of food, especially Hindu radicals aggressively pushing for a nationwide ban on cow slaughter and beef while Muslim hardliners demanding similar curbs on pork.

The Esplanade programme saw CPI(M) face and former Kolkata mayor Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharyya and pro-Trinamool poet Subodh Sarkar offering beef to each another.
“The primary reason for organising this festival is to protest beef ban in different parts of the country and incidents like the Dadri lynching (where a Muslim man was killed by a mob on the suspicion of cow slaughter). But it is not just about beef. We want to say people should be free to consume any food of their choice, be it beef, pork, fish or vegetarian,” said Jul Mukherjee, an organiser.
Co-organiser Raktim Ghosh promised that paneer would be served to those who stay away from non-veg items. “Let’s not fight in the kitchen.”
Entry is free and no food coupon is required or will be offered. The organisers will bring cooked food to the fair and hope to meet the demand they said people could bring their share and contribute to the cause.
“We’ll protest even if there is a ban on pork. A large number of tribals living in different parts of the country consume pork,” Mukherjee said.

Good. Thats the way it should be. No ban on food. BTW there is no ban on either beef or, pork in Kolkata. Both freely available. This food festival however will have no impact on the situation in cowbelt.
Is the Doval guy over rated? I mean with all this revolutions going around to topple Modi, what's stopping him from using state apparatus to get ahead of the enemy

After phase-IV, NDA favourite among punters; not more than 110 seats for Grand Alliance
By Raghav Ohri, ET Bureau | 3 Nov, 2015, 06.20AM IST
NEW DELHI: The National Democratic Alliance (NDA), according to punters, has edged past the Grand Alliance after the fourth phase of polling. Before the fifth and final phase of polling in Bihar on November 5, the punters hold that NDA, as of now, is likely to secure a maximum of 126 seats, with BJP scoring 96. The satta market may do a final assessment after the last lap.
The Grand Alliance is expected to bag not more than 110 seats, with Nitish's Janata Dal (United) securing a maximum of 55 seats and Lalu Prasad's RJD 44. The Congress may finally touch the double-digit mark as the satta market, which had so far reduced the party to a difficultto-achieve seven seats, now holds that it (Congress) might end up achieving around 11 seats.
It might be mentioned here that immediately after the voting for the fourth phase concluded, the NDA's stock rose significantly, as the market expected it to get 136 seats but by Monday evening the number came down to 126. On the other hand, the Grand Alliance that, as per the punters after the third phase, had marginally gone past the NDA, is now lagging behind in the satta market.
The NDA was a clear favourite in the satta market before the start of the elections as it was believed to bag a comfortable 150-plus seats. With the last lap remaining, the punters are keeping a close watch.

That would be a massive burnol moment...
This is what eh wrote few days back
Bihar polls: Grand Alliance displaces NDA in 'satta race'; punters give Nitish-Lalu 127-129 seats, NDA 110 - The Economic Times
This guy has no clue what he is talking about and is most probably talking out of his rear end. lol, first he predicted MGB getting 140 seats. Satta market trends given here are wrong. Most Satta is right now predicting 150+ in the end of phase 3. Phase 4 has been very good for NDA. Satta markets don't make 180 degree U-turns in days. The amount of short selling required to reverse these odds in 3-4 days would be impossible...

This fellow have now dragged down to a new level. Till he was criticizing the policy, it was OK. Now he is commenting on personality of Modi to show him inferior. Not good mr Shourie.
