Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

On another note, how come the EC hasn't declared the election dates yet? The new parliament needs to be in place by may 21st.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017

Pappu gave an interview to Arnab before GE 2014. His handlers said, whenever there is a question, answer always - WOMEN EMPOWERMENNT.

What's the latest on the disqualification of 20 AAP MLAs in Delhi? Last I heard was that EC was playing tareek pe tareek (date after date) on this.
