Did you even read my post ?

> China is a "proper liberal democracy" as per you?

The exact line you quoted, literally ends with an "if at all" in brackets right after.

> Source please?

That Rahul Gandhi is the 6th generation heir ?

Motilal -> Jawaharlal -> Indira -> Rajiv -> Sonia -> Rahul. What's disputable here ?

That he is incompetent ? I mean, even the most ardent congress fan won't deny that Rahul Gandhi is incompetent at best and a BJP plant at worst. He oversaw the downfall of the freest of wins in world politics anywhere.

Sonia is not the child of Rajiv, it's his spouse.

You added a generation there. Sonia was Rajiv's wife - not his daughter.

BJP under Modi-Shah lost 8 states, 218 by-elections in last two years [1]

Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh are the two states where the BJP has lost to Congress in the last six months. The BJP lost deposits in 38.4% of the seats it contested in Southern Karnataka. [2] [3]

Modi was the face of election campaign and spent whole centre government money and machinery to campaign. Modi speaks a script written by someone else by using a teleprompter and has never given an open & live unscripted press conference in last 8 years ([4] [5] [6]). By your logic, are you trying to say Modi is also incompetent?

Got it. So you are hoping some day China will transition to democracy AFTER industrialization had been achieved, and you think India might need to convert to an authoritarian state in order to successfully escaped poverty? Is my understanding correct?

Also, you haven's still answered my 2 questions:

1. How is "The ban on crop burning (main cause of Delhi's pollution) was central to the farm bill."?

2. What do you mean about this: "We do not vote for Presidents in India. The president was selected by the ruling party"?
