    Disenchantment does not fully explain the disruptive assembly poll results yesterday. There was also a strange enchantment. Unseen, unexpected, unacknowledged. My column: #ElectionResults2026 #TN2026 #BengalResults #TMCvsBJP #ActorVijay #LDFDefeat

    #AAP goes down censorship route. Photojournalists from @NewIndianXpress / @TheMornStandard disallowed from Kejriwal-Bhagwat Mann presser. Why throw out photogs, @ArvindKejriwal @BhagwantMann @AAPDelhi ? Is the extra hospitality bcoz of our Liquorgate and Hawalagate reports?

    Excellent @BDUTT ! It's the much vilified 'liberals' who signed the petition for his release!! Not the likes of that "alleged filmmaker" and the obnoxious troll army!

    Most appraisals will read #sitaramyechuri in terms of his trajectory as a Communist frontman. Few realise what a talent India has been deprived of—in universalist terms. The loss is India’s as much as the Left’s. My tribute:

    Before @NewIndianXpress broke the first story in any media that all is not well with the #DelhiExcisePolicy, there were a few things to take care of. Though @Shahid_Faridi_ had worked on the story for over three weeks, a response from #AAP was critical... bit.ly/3ChIy3G

    No answer yet on why @NewIndianXpress @TheMornStandard and @ThePrintIndia photographers were made to stay out of the #AAP presser. @ArvindKejriwal @BhagwantMann @ShekharGupta

    The same treatment was meted out to the photographer from a prominent news website. For reasons best known to #AAP @PraveenJain2622

    Yes, so true and so appropriately gooey and campy...we laughed, cried, got angry and got entertained, won and lost, dreamt big and small, and, most importantly, stayed vulnerable with @iamsrk. So yes, @MehboobaMufti it's not just one name, he's finally an Indian parent. He's us.
