Good ad from Cong

Bloomberg journo subtweeting Andy

Nice try, jaahil Periyar-parast naqli Yahudi ... uh, I mean ... 'South Asian Muslim activist'. 🤡

Meanwhile, in the real world:

'The slaughter in Bali was probably the worst in all of Indonesia. ...

In total, at least 5% of the population of Bali was killed - 80,000 people ...…

Businessline ground report says Maran only has an 'edge' in this DMK citadel. Kudos to Vinoj for running a highly impressive campaign - he is on the verge of causing a major political earthquake. And he is only in his 30s.

Arjun thinking of himself as smart is the much bigger problem than him voting against BJP.

India’s most useless MP Dayanidhi Maran தயாநிதி மாறன்

1. Zero private member bills
2. ⁠MP funds unused
3. ⁠One among the MPs who have raised least questions

Even DMK party members should be ashamed to vote for a lazy inefficient and elitist person like Dayanidhi Maran தயாநிதி மாறன்…

25% in South vs 18% in 2019. The party is probably dropping some VS in KA (JDS alliance + Cong doing better). Some gains on TL and much bigger one in Andhra. But this figure possibly means TN figures are close to 15% for BJP alone.

Rajini himself is an amoral opportunist who exploits the dimwittery of his fan groups to mint money - folks who have nothing better to do than watch substandard movies of a 70 year old man pretending to be a middle aged man.

I believe him - I think Rahul really means it, he is not someone who is likely to say such corny stuff for the sake of it.
So the Cong-DMK alliance is a much deeper ideological and personal alliance than one would have thought. Makes it that much more tougher for admk in 2026.

None of the campaigns even remotely speaks about creating livable, safer, calmer, peaceful, people friendly cities. Disappointing 😔

If he really respects others' language, then he would have made the most basic effort to learn a little bit of Malayalam, since he is a people's representative from Kerala for 5 years.
Talk (in English) is cheap.

Of the 16 seats it has discussed so far, Cong is winning or has the edge in all of them.
For BJP, there is a big increase in VS, looks like they will get close to 20% though they are #2 or #3 in TVM/Thrissur/Pathanamthitta/Attingal - the 4 seats the party wld fancy.
