People put labels on others to understand them better or categorise them but humans are too complex, in my opinion. I don’t like labels. For example I am not a #leftist, #rightist or #centrist. I support ideas from all these #ideologies but no, I don’t lean towards any. I am just me. Nita.

A positive agenda is the only way for any opposition party in the world to revive itself. You need that Unique Selling Point. Just bitter criticism and hate of the ruling govt. doesn't work. In India, the Bihar state elections have proved that voters aren't buying hate.

INDIA has a Congress-sized hole. And the fix begins with a little humility
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.

Another glaring instance of the US openly favouring Pakistan. Their reaction to a blast in Delhi and one in Pak couldn't have been more different. People are upset but I think best to shrug it off. Being good friends with a country like Pakistan will backfire on the US.
