    that is because the BJP government has allowed the people to consume beef without any hassles.
    But in our district because of the hindu rightwing groups, beef is not available freely, which is a healthy meat compared to kachda broiler chicken.

    These right wing groups have nothing to do with BJP. Infact many of these groups fight elections against BJP. Modi has not passed a single law regarding cow slaughter,it was the congress which passed laws against cow slaughter..and also included that in our constitution while it was written.

    Rajesh, please read my comment fully. I said broiler chicken meat. you might be knowing that antigen injections are given to these chickens as the demand is high.
    If you rear chicken at home, it would be best. But the one available in the market will decrease your immunity.

    Eager to know if he indeed talked about a ground plan concerning the expediting of long pending (delayed by more than 5 years) infrastructure -- this is primarily making commuting a living hell and if so, when? Whether there is also any plan to create jobs for the youth in the coastal region or is it just eyewash / chaltha hai chalatha hai tactics? No matter what transpired in the meeting, if there is a will, there is a way. I am doubtful, but still keeping my fingers "crossed"

    Nalin Rai has a true potential. He has done lot of good work and hence we can ignore some where he has lacked behind. Perhaps it had factors that was beyond his control. Nobody is 100% perfect. Lets give him another chace this time . Its a PM election and we have to ensure Modi rules again.
