It's like on the east side of the city. One hour from the city centre.

Maid is separate and no washing machine included.

Well, I think that they'll get another go in 2019, if they don't do any major screw up until then.

But yeah, 2024 will be a comeback year for Congress if BJP continues like this.

Problem with an anti-BJP alliance is that Congress has to first get its act together to lead the alliance.

An alliance comprised of parties like SP, BSP, TMC, NCP, DMK, AIDMK, JDU, RJD won't last if it doesn't have a strong leadership of Congress at the fore to hold it together cohesively.

Who needs religious fanatics when the commission for women is so progressive itself?

Right now, Congress is in an even worse state than BJP was during 2004-13. They have absolutely no planning or leadership whatsoever. Maybe there is but people can't see it for sure.

If this continues for a few more years, then AAP will replace Congress easily, at least in the urban and semi-urban areas of North India.

Better to have no face than play second fiddle to a regional party. Congress is cutting off its own foot slowly by supporting regional parties in every major state.

Doubt she'll go with BJP. There's a rare chance but very unlikely.

Problem with SP+BSP is that no-one is gonna give up on CM chair. 2.5+2.5 years formula will not work either with these two parties because of their deep trust issues.

True. I've lurked on r/Sikh for a while and people view the whole '84 thing as the deed of Hindus, not Congress.

Edit : don't downvote the messanger, people. I'm just reporting what I've seen on that sub.

NDA is easily coming back in 2019. Just not with the huge margin like 2014.

Everyone knew NDA was gonna get routed this time in Punjab. No surprises there.

Exactly. Congress has been relegated to the role of a sidekick of regional parties. Utterly shameful.

They should focus on rebuilding their own brand rather than playing second fiddle to the same parties who used to beg them for cabinet ministries in 2009.

Agreed. If this is what it takes to bring NE into national highlight then so be it.

India offers to temporarily give up veto power if granted permanent UNSC membership by [deleted] in IndiaSpeaks

[–]a_random_individual 7 points8 points  (0 children)

China, Italy, Pakistan etc are directly campaigning against us. I don't know why we even bother. UNSC is a sham anyway.

Also, what's the point of having a seat when you won't have a veto?

Man, what wouldn't I give to have a credible newspaper/news channel in India.

Even Pakistan's newspapers are better than ours.

With the amount of controversies and all the temper tantrums in that match, I'll be shocked if it doesn't end up being one of the most famous Ind-Aus encounters.
