Shashi Tharoor commented on the latest developments in Maharashtra with another 'Word of the day' on Twitter. “#WordOfTheDay for #Maharashtra: Zugzwang. A situation in chess&other games where a player is compelled to move, forcing him into a weaker position. A player is said to be "in zugzwang" when any possible move will worsen their position. In game theory, changes a win to a loss.”

Another user, @himanshumandpe1, replied to the tweet commenting, “I play Chess for a hobby and I think its Shiv Sena too. BJP`s Zugzwang trap is over. SS` starts now. Their voter is even more hardcore right-wing than BJP`s from what I have heard. How are they going to project themselves joining NCP and Congress will be interesting to see”
