If you had a daughter @PadmajaJoshi , you would let Jeffrey Epstein anywhere near her?!
Answer that and then talk of him having a “separate life.”
Such shamelessness

There’s a reason, @neha_aisa tells @AJEnglish, that Modi’s BJP is scared of the Left.
“How do you claim to be champions of nationalism if you don't delegitimise actual inheritors of radical legacy that got India independence?”
@yashjournals profiles Neha Bora, the firebrand student leader & face of India's Gen Z protests.

This is what IISc Prof T V Ramachandra says about Hebbal Lake & Tunnel Project - PLEASE LISTEN.
Hebbal region = WATER EXPLOITED BLOCK. Groundwater fell from <100ft to 1800ft after lakes were removed. No groundwater now.
Tunnel project alters lake integrity = Violates Wetland Rules 2010/2017. Even Central Govt says you CANNOT alter physical integrity of lake.
Tunnel won't solve traffic, but WILL deprive right to water - Art 21 violation.
When unscientific project & drainage fails, result is Brand Bengaluru failure. Save Hebbal Lake = Save Bengaluru water security.
Full expert note: Dr. T V Ramachandra, IISc

Struck off in SIR, told to swear they’re new voters: Maharashtra asks EC to fix Form 6
Proposal suggests of dropping “New Voters” from the title of Form 6 & let the deleted cite their old EPIC number. It lands as 20 states bring “left out” voters back through that very form.

.@vargheseKgeorge on why the SIR might be dead without a special announcement thehindu.com/opinion/politic…
Rishikesh Bahadur D retweeted
One interesting question that no one has really asked: how necessary was the SIR business even judged from its unstated objectives? Ajay Gudavarthy argues that it was "in excess". Tune in for the full video.
Why does the BJP feel it has to win every election? Ajay Gudavarthy argues that the party’s pursuit of electoral victories stems more from its own "psychological imperative" than from political necessity, driven by the fear of losing its larger-than-life image of invincibility.

Kolkata has always seen massive crowds during Durga Pujo. It has also always been known for some of the best crowd management.
Anyone who has witnessed Durga Pujo in Kolkata knows better than to buy into narratives that shift the blame onto people.
This is not your Kumbh!
West Bengal: Have the News Agencies/Channels started blaming the 'People' for the Stampede yet. ANI will soon get a few local eye witnesses to claim Police were doing their duty, Local Administration has done good arrangements but it was because of people this Stampede happen..

"Pushed manufacturing"? Yea right, I guess the 2014 Make in India promise of 25% share of manufacturing in GDP was achieved. No?
Yea, because it actually went down. Decade of PLI, make in India, lion logos - and share has still decreased lmao.
Also please, comparing Sanyal to Jean Dreze is like comparing a WhatsApp forward with a peer-reviewed article. Sanyal doesn't have the qualification, aptitude, or moral integrity to be compared to Dreze. At best, Sanyal is a fiction writer - AT BEST.
