I was wondering who is Heidegger to our Hitler but then realized everyone is way too stupid to put them in the same rank as Heidegger.

Why is everyone praising Yogendra Yadav for making some basic-ass points?

BJP is leading on all seats in Madhya Pradesh ugh. But Uttar Pradesh results are kinda heartening.

The BJP is now leading on less than 240 seats. Hoping the final tally comes down to ~200 seats. #India #electionresults

Opposition may not be able to form the government but it is doing well right now as BJP (Modi's party) takes big hit in many states. #India #electionresults
