Read a thread last night about Modi's dilemma when it comes to handling the Congress Party: should he let it crumble on its own or should he expedite its annihilation

Quick Counter: It is the Congress Party that's in a dilemma whether to let their show running or wind up. 1/12

Congress knows where it's headed and it's looking for a face saving exit. They're hoping Modi to snap and make one miscalculated move: be it jailing the family, or whatever and Modi is not going to let them have the last laugh after all these years. 2/12

Studying a Gujju entrepreneur's brain is fascinating but studying a Gujju politician's brain is even more fascinating. If auditing, interrogating, striking a deal, punishing an embezzler doesn't even result in complete recovery of the amt embezzled, the Gujju will let it be. 3/12

Modi is already treading on thin ice. Let us not bang hammers behind him. Congress - once a towering skyscraper has now been reduced to a relic. Sure, it needs to be dismantled to make way for something new but this has to be done without inflicting collateral damage. 4/12

Think of it as an nuclear reactor that has outlived its utility. Neither can you blow it up with dynamite, nor can you wait for decades, sitting out the radioactivity. What do you do then? Let it dissipate, erode while you monitor it and clear the settlements in its vicinity 5/12

Make the people aware of the dangers of living near the reactor, seal the area, isolate it from the rest of society, dispose the nuclear waste safely and finally prepare yourself for the eventuality. You can delay the process but you can never prevent the outcome. 6/12

Every measure has to be taken to make sure it doesn't blow up in your face and result in a cataclysm. The fallout of INC will not only have an impact on the Indian polity but it will have a far reaching impact on global geopolitics as well. It will determine the fate of... 7/12

...our democracy. Will we be left with no national alternative to BJP for the foreseeable future? Will we see a new force emerge in the wake of INC's demise? These questions will be answered by us in due course of time. Remember nurturing a strong opposition is not BJP's job 8/12

We're responsible for what BJP does to the opposition parties because we have entrusted the reigns of India to them. Likewise we can't shift our responsibility of keeping democracy alive on BJP. We will have to make a choice: Do we want an alternative? If yes, then what will...

be the nature, shape and size of such an alternative? As far as the ‘ecosystem’ is concerned, we should be be carefree. Did any dictator's ‘ecosystem’ survive? Simply put: without the host, a parasite starves and dies a very painful death. Nature gets the best of everyone. 10/12

Chanakya once said that if maiming and locking up a colossal force of evil serves the larger interest of the kingdom and acts as a deterrent to any potential adversaries of the motherland then keep it well fed we must. We need to revisit history to chalk out our future. 11/12

Modi and BJP, no matter how great they are, they are just the means to an end that we seek to achieve. It all boils down to our ability to steer.

Helping Modi and standing firmly by him is our best or perhaps the only bet right now. Godspeed. 12/12
