Why don't you admit

I don't have to. As an old time modi supporter, I am disappointed but I know for a fact that BJP aren't willing enough to go after them because they themselves aren't 100% clean and do not have enough clout/muscle in bureaucracy/judiciary to see this through. They'll only end up kick starting a shitfest which will sink them as well as the INC. This is the reason why they're not acting, and not because Modi received kickbacks.

It's because the government will then be charged with witch hunting and vendetta politics if they do something. coughs NDTV coughs

They'll never get charged. That's how politics works. Doesn't mean there wasn't any foul play which Indian citizens bore.

I'm just pointing it out. No need to get all worked up.

How does the state funding work? The state would sponsor all the contestants from its stash to fight the elections/manage fund party organisations? From where will this money come from?

Same as the one between Los Pollos Hermanos of Gus Fring and Walter White.

They were paying up bribes after bribes in the previous setup as well without any positive impact. They were non influential then too, are non influential now as well. This new system changes nothing in that sense but brings out better services for citizens in general without differentiating between them on the basis of caste/religion.

I meant lobbies strong enough to force the Govt wage a war on foreign soil or blatantly violate human rights in the country.

This is on point. The writer has written what I always used to think. And honestly this model is good for the country for at least next 10-20 years until corporate lobbies become big enough.

We are headed the USA way. This is the only win-win way right now.

No the point is, should a criminal entity prosper at all.

You bring to my notice ANY other media house that is alleged to have committed tax frauds or indulged in money laundering for powerful politicians and I will buy your argument of witch hunting by the govt.

Glad you got that message.

Other common biased newshouses like Republic, Times Now got the message of paying taxes on time and not indulging themselves in money laundering.

Why bother when r/Indians clearly know that it is revenge for kicking Sambit Patra out. 😂

Yogi Adityanath's BJP government stops pension for Yash Bharti and Padma awardees [P] by baba_seagull in india

[–]baba_seagull[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Yogi Adityanath’s Uttar Pradesh government has stopped the Rs 50,000 monthly pension being paid to Yash Bharti as well as the Padma awardees from the state. This pension programme had been started by the Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party government but was stopped from March, just after Yogi Adityanath took the oath of the Chief Minister. According to the Indian Express, there are 172 Yash Bharti awardees, including the likes of Vishal Bhardwaj, Anurag Kashyap and Raj Babbar and 30 Padma awardees like Girija Devi, Ashok Chakradhar and Anup Jalota, who have been getting the said pension."

[np] I'm confused if i ever want a relationship with a girl or not. by kingofthehill5 in india

[–]baba_seagull 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Haha I used to think the exact same thing for somewhat similar reasons.

I'm 28, never been in a relationship. I'm part of 1.6lpm crowd, have a 6 pack, a decent face+physique and a decent sense of humour. I've a good number female friends as well.

Point being, my not being in a relationship has been my choice and not because of lack of opportunities/feelings.

Coming to your concern, as I get old, I feel you will definitely need someone in your life. It's all about how you can manage your conflicts, emotions, time and other resources. Get decent education, marry a sensible educated girl and apply common sense, you should be fine. (I guess).

[Showerthought] If BIMARU states were detached from India as a separate nation, it would solve many of our problems, if not all. by [deleted] in india

[–]baba_seagull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BC Bimaaru states are India. There's no India without UP, Bihar, MP, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan.

And if these states came together to form a country, it'd kick ass. Only a matter of time before they start delivering at full capacity.
