CPI(M) Secretary General Sitaram Yechury wrote there was need to “defeat the right-wing assault” on reason. That may be so sir, but surely the Left first needs to understand what the Right is getting right – especially in the elections?
We must defeat the current Right Wing assault on Reason. Attacking Reason has been the corner-stone of their anti-Constitutional project. (Inaugurating the EMS Smrithi in Kerala) https://t.co/6xETjLzal1

Former Union minister Yashwant Sinha has decided to stay on Twitter despite intense trolling, a day after he wondered aloud whether he should quit the social media network. Developing a thick skin, sir?

As UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath continues his maun vrat on law and order situation in the state, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav has taken him to task. Akhilesh ji, perhaps you ought to concentrate on how to win the 2022 polls and then do something about safety in the state?
प्रदेश में बलात्कार, हत्याओं व राजनीतिक हमलों की वारदातें बढ़ती ही जा रही हैं. मुख्यमंत्रीजी मीटिंग पर मीटिंग ले रहे हैं लेकिन क़ानून-व्यवस्था बद-से-बदतर होती जा रही है.

In translation: The incidents of rape, murders and political attacks in the state are increasing. The Chief Minister is holding several meetings but the law and order situation is going from bad to worse. The shooting of a bar council chair in Agra has proved that now the situation is out of control.
