The meltdown that was triggered by an emphatic victory for the BJP in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections seems to continue for Rana Ayyub as she carried on with her rant on Twitter. In the wake of Amit Shah being appointed as Home Minister, while many prominent journalists chose to stay mum, Rana Ayyub’s meltdown had severely compounded.

Rana Ayyub couldn’t bring herself to the terms that her nemesis Amit Shah is going to preside over the Home Ministry of the country. So profound is the meltdown that Ayyub has continued to cast smear on India’s newest Home Minister by asserting that he had been arrested for murder and extortion when he was Gujarat Home Minister.
The man who was arrested as a minister of state for Home in Gujarat for murder and extortion, declared tadipaar by Supreme Court, is now Home Minister of India.

However, in harmony with the quintessential liberal trait of having selective regards for the Indian judiciary, Rana Ayyub deceitfully obscures the fact that the courts had exonerated Amit Shah in the cases she had averred.
Ayyub’s meltdown had started when most of the Exit Polls had declared that BJP government at the centre is imminent. However, she held on to her horses until the Results Day when the early trends indicated that BJP is set to form a government at the centre with an overwhelming majority.
Even then, Rana Ayyub couldn’t digest the fact that her bete noires Modi and Shah will go on to form a stable government at the centre with a decisive majority. Lamenting on Twitter, Rana posted a series of tweets questioning the Congress incompetence against the robust BJP election machinery. She bemoaned that nothing worked for Congress in this election campaign as their numbers remained close to the 2014 digits, reflecting utter decimation for the principal opposition party.
With Shah reigning over the Home Ministry, one can expect Rana Ayyub to work overtime to fear-monger by vilifying the PMO and his cabinet ministers and painting a grim picture about the country on Twitter and other International forums.
