Reporter: The Samajwadi Party has won MLC seats in Varanasi. What do you make of it?
NDA Minister: “Ye padhe likhe logo ka vote hai, aam janta ka vote nahi hai.”
Is he calling his own voters uneducated, or implying that educated people don’t vote for the BJP? 😭😭

A HUGE congrats to all the trade unionists who organized for years to secure this win ✊🏼🇵🇸

The state is now grappling with drought, with several regions facing severe water shortages.
@Dev_Fadnavis saheb, please focus on that first. You can rant about the CJP later.

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE RICH & THE POOR, IT'S ABOUT DIGNITY OF LABOUR - 21 floors. 20 kg of cemented bricks on one head. 4 modern lifts in the building, but zero allowed for the human who actually built it !
Our system still treats the real builders of this nation like second-class citizens. Progress means nothing if humanity is left behind. Shame on this system! 💔🤬

Sankarnarayanan: just once on behalf of the citizens of the Delhi NCR, let the ban stay and let a report come from the authorities - how compliance was enforced. Just once for our lungs just allow this once that's all. And then let us take a call after it because now we have seen what happened with it

I welcome the move by pharmaceutical companies to cut the MRPs of anti-cancer medicines. Revised price lists are now being notified, with some drugs becoming cheaper by nearly 70% from November 9.
A bevacizumab 400 mg injection comes down from ₹42,000 to ₹13,136. One cycle of palbociclib drops from ₹9,787 to ₹3,147. Many patients who took loans or mortgaged their property to pay for treatment will now carry a lighter burden.
I urge every pharma company to complete this process quickly and transparently. Stockists, chemists and hospitals must pass on the full benefit to patients in need at the earliest.
Karnataka's Health Department @DHFWKA will continue to closely monitor the prices of medicines for critical illnesses such as cancer, heart and kidney diseases.
Affordable treatment is the right of every person in need, and we will keep working to make it a reality for every family.

My father stayed in comatose for 9 days in a private hospital before he finally departed,
That private hospital authorities had serious altercation with me as I bought just Albumin IV from a wholesaler, in house hospital chemist charged 6000₹ per vial, I got it from outside at less than 3000₹.
Health and education sectors must be with the government only but since sarkari hospitals and sarkari schools never could build enough trust, citizens are left vulnerable to profiteering vultures.
An information which may be very disturbing to everyone. A medical distributor of a particular injection which is used in chemotherapy, his wife was suffering from cancer. She was taking treatment in a very renowned hospital. We will not take the name of the hospital. So the dealer requested the hospital authorities, sir I am myself a dealer and to me the injection comes at Rs. 11,000 dealer price. The hospital refused to administer that injection and charged Rs. 1,30,000 for that injection. Can you show any justification for this loot, please? Why this difference? Where does the money go?

And so, when the Government changes the name of Princess Street to Babu Genu marg, it is not telling the public "henceforth, you must refer to it as Babu Genu Marg, and not Princess Street". It is saying "We (the Govt) will now refer to it as Babu Genu marg"

Given Article 19(1), the Govt cannot instruct the public to use exactly one particular name to refer to anything in every day language.
