Why didn't the ministers react at a time when Donald J.Trump was visiting?

‪Still political newbies, Arvind Kejriwal Manish Sisodia Atishi & others forged a powerful campaign to win Delhi.

Can the AAP Delhi model be scaled up? And will it remain close to its ideals?

From @Saikatd
Muslims are being targeted in UP. Several state officials tell me that there is tremendous pressure from the top. Official police hierarchy is being sidelined to target protesters. But majority of police chiefs are standing up to the pressure.

What's happening in UP is terrible. A complete failure of governance. Police brutality at its worst.

India's Prime Minister Modi pulled a "Trump" at a rally on Sunday. He made incorrect claims, much like his US counterpart.

And a Parliamentary written response indicates the detention centres are close to what Concentration Camps were.
