Recently this MP hasn't just caused a rupture in relations with our most reliable allies in the Gulf, but also called for a ban on the sale of *paracetamol* so we could lock up whoever had a fever. Well done, Bangalore, the rest of India really looks up to your choices

Stoppage of inter-state trains by Sri @BSYBJP is a bold and necessary move. It will help migrant labourers who came here with hopes of a better life to restart their dreams. Also, it will kickstart economic activities full throttle. Karnataka will emerge out of this stronger!

People, this is serious. This is an extraordinary accusation to come from a prime minister against an MP. If Modi can't or won't substantiate it the PM's office will have lost a great deal of credibility. Right now, it looks like Trump-level ranting
