   @tokyo_0 @mastodonindians It can all be explained by the fact that Congress has no idea what people want

     @haskman @tokyo_0 @mastodonindians That means you don't know Congress, and just repeating what every Bhakt says.

     @tokyo_0 @haskman @mastodonindians Anyone speaking on this line that "Congress doesn't know anything" is a Bhakt (a mindless Zombie), and need to be called out. If you feel it's a personal attack, feel free to block me.

     @tokyo_0 @haskman Behind the scene, every hour 2 students are doing suicide and 1 farmer and that's the truth.

     And talking about "personal law" in India, before answering I would like to know -- what do you know about it and which context you are raising this question?

     BJP talks about UCC (universal civil code), but when they do the experiment in one state -- they keep all the native community out of it and the changes only apply to Muslims. And wherever Congress is talking about this, the context is this Uttarakhand experiment.

     @tokyo_0 @haskman BJP also says the same thing when doing promotion in North East states or Jharkhand or Orissa etc.

     The hypocrisy of Bhakts is -- they won't discuss the hypocrisy of the BJP but blatantly speak against Congress for promising course corrections.

     @tokyo_0 @haskman This channel is the mouthpiece of BJP, called "Godi media" (lapdogs). They make all sorts of programmes to create a divisive society and help the BJP.

     @tokyo_0 @haskman Muslim personal laws have been in place since 1952, and BJP has made that election issue and promised to bring UCC to their core voter. Which they can't, and even if they do, it won't be UCC but another act of alienation for Muslims.

     Some Congress leaders must have promised to keep those laws intact while speaking somewhere.

     BJP is trying hard to keep the election polarised but it's not working anymore. Don't help them... it's not even ranked in the top 20 issues around this ongoing election.

     @tokyo_0 @haskman Let me ask you this:

     A party (BJP), which hasn't fielded even a single Muslim candidate for 500+ MP seats last time or this time is talking about law correction only applied to Muslims (20+ per cent) -- what do you feel about this proposal? Is it going to be fair?

     Now Congress says, we won't let them do it as they are a communal party representing hardcore Hindus -- why are we discussing this and not about the BJP threatening the minority with this promise?

     @tokyo_0 @haskman Don't consume TV media, rely on YouTube. There are channels like NewsLaundry, The News Minute, The Wire (English) The Lallantop, News 24 (Hindi) etc on a national level.

     On the state level, I consume from individuals

     @tokyo_0 @haskman The Hindu and the Indian Express are good in print media.

     About Wire or anyone, there could be 1-2 wrong reports in a while but their business model isn't around misinformation and propaganda.

     I am a paid subscriber to almost all of these, the Hindu and Express as well.

     @tokyo_0 @haskman Same applies to political choices. People need to finance their candidates themselves and then only expect them to be accountable to them and not corporate (which is the case now).

     I do that as well -- put money where my mouth is 😀

     @tokyo_0 @haskman You can research about the 'Universal civil code' in the Uttarakhand state. It has all the same exceptions like the past except Muslims. And even they are not opposing it there -- we haven't seen any public opposition.

     It's all the hypocrisy of the BJP to gain hardcore Hindu votes.

     @tokyo_0 @haskman A very common notion in India is; it doesn't matter whom we vote for, our life is unaffected.

     Rise of Modi in 2013-14 changed it a bit and vote percentage grew but again it's down this year. It shows on the ground that at least 5-10 percent of people have lost hope and don't want to vote and skipping it.
