Nothing boosts visibility more than social media buzz, but there are pitfalls too. Take the UP Congress, which recently appointed an experienced but 바카라œIT-illiterate바카라 state leader as its IT cell head. Now, the man, who apparently cannot type in Hindi or English, has to ask youngsters in his family to tweet on his behalf. When people grumbled about his ­appointment바카라”the post is highly coveted바카라”his feelings were hurt. He complained to leaders in Delhi about the ­secular edifice being under threat. He was asked to ignore  it and carry on. And if possible, to pick up some social media nuances on the job.

Minds Apart

Four months after the merger of the EPS and OPS factions of the AIADMK, differences and heartburns continue to simmer. Rajya Sabha MP V. Maithreyan ­complained on his Facebook page that there was no meeting of minds yet. Apparently, he was ­referring to the OPS faction being short­changed in the post-merger arr­angement, maybe as postings to the party바카라™s coordination ­committee have still not been made. The EPS faction had been saying the appointments would be made once the Election Commission makes its decision in the symbol case. Now that the decision has been made and the party has got the 바카라˜two leaves바카라™ back, is the AIADMK close to seeing the end of this bickering, or will it only get worse?

Me Too A Beneficiary

For the past few days, many pap­ers carried government ads marking 바카라œthree years of good governance바카라 in Maharashtra. These ads have information about government schemes and a huge picture of a poor villager. The speech bubble says: 바카라œI am a beneficiary.바카라 Not everybody bel­ieves the success stories, though. The Congress and Shiv Sena are asking how much was spent on the ads, demand­ing a white paper on the dev­elopm­ent claims. And soc­ial media geniuses are putting out jokes and memes ending with the punch line 바카라œI am a beneficiary바카라, mostly about politicians, who faced corruption charges and then joined the BJP.

Overheard A Union minister, divested of an important ministry and given a less significant one, has been spending a lot of time at Baba Ramdev바카라™s Haridwar ashram, doing meditation and yoga.
