A Muslim, Hindu, Sikh and Christian join hands and walk together in the #TirangaRally, #Hyderabad. #CAA_NRCProtests #AntiCAAProtests
If you ever wish to see citizens who don't fall for propaganda, read this post's comments section.
Absolutely 😎😎😎 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.
Encroachment in the name of God and crying foul when being removed is not done.
The Congress Govt’s anti-Hindu mindset stands exposed once again.
Removing the idol of Prabhu Shri Ram, installed by Hindu Organizations on the auspicious occasion of Dusshera near Basheerbagh Temple, Hyderabad is a direct insult to millions of devotees.
From Uttar Pradesh to Bengal, political arrogance has always been crushed by the people. Telangana will neither forgive nor stay silent.

This is what mainstream media does to a young girl like @nehafolksinger
People have immense anger against TV channels like @ABPNews
Because you shield the ones in power and demonise those who do your job - of asking questions, seeking accountability.

Where is police barbarism today?
Where are the detention vans today?
Where are the illegal arrests happening?
Where are the Delhi Police supported goons today?

THIS is what can happen when the opposition unites - last time INDIA Bloc came together for a few weeks - it destroyed BJP's super majority dreams of 2024.
THE ONLY WAY Gyanu goes - is every democracy loving / constitution respecting party - comes together.

I see many well meaning people saying Opposition should boycott elections. They have said before also. This sounds logical and effective only if you are naive enough to believe the ruling party, EC, Courts etc in current dispensation are entities with strong principles and a moral compass.
In reality, what will happen is that all Opposition will boycott elections, the Ruling Party will put multiple independent candidates in all seats, EC will say there are candidates contesting, so elections are happening and Court will say we can’t force anyone to participate in elections, you all voluntarily decided to boycott what can we do. In the end, the Ruling Party will win almost all seats, have official legitimacy and pass whatever bills they want. They can even junk the constitution.
The Opposition currently, though smaller in number, fragmented, is still numbers in the parliament. And they have put the fight and made the Government backtrack. Latest was delimitation bill. So the solution is not in opposition boycott of elections.

#AndhraPradesh Govt has written to the Centre seeking cancellation of exemption of licence for selling #ethanol based sanitizers. The drug control administration conveyed to the Centre that ethanol sanitizers are used by some people as substitute to liquor. One particular pharmacy store in Vijayawada sold over 33,500 ethanol sanitizers in 18 months.
The AP govt pointed out that the exemption from licence was given during the peak of #Covid time to ensure availablity of sanitizer in plenty but, continuation of the exemption is leading to the misuse.

#MustKnow- How our MLAs and MLC’s evade tax
Home take pay of our MLA's and MLC's
ranging from 2.5L to 3L per month, but no
MLA pays income tax for the reason that his salary is just Rs. 20,000 and balance amount is for various allowances which are tax free.
Chairman of Council gets a monthly home taking salary of Rs. 4,11,000/-but doesn't pay any income tax for the reason that his salary is just Rs.41.000 and balance amount is for various allowances which are
nontaxable. ‘
This type of arrangement is only evading I.T. Constitution of India do not provide for the post of Whip, nevertheless political parties appoint Whips to make sure the
attendance of legislators at the time of voting and for general Co-ordination.
Interestingly the ruling party appointed six Whips with salary close to Rs. 4,00.000/- again the pay is shown as Rs.
20,000/-.
Recently Government Vide G.O. No. 1064 has accorded Ministers rank to 3 Whips.
As per sub-sec. (4) of sec. 3 of payment of salaries Act 1953, the income tax payable by Chief Minister, Dy. Chief Minister and other Ministers is so far as relates to the salary allowances and perquisites shall be borne by the State Government.
This provision is against the Principal of equality before law and violates the article (14) of the Constitution of
India.
Many states in the country have scraped this provision.
Few states like Telangana is following the provision.
This is so painful to read. People don't realise the immense value that Balaji contributes to #Telangana.
No one respects anything they get for FREE.
You all deserve the useless govt weather dept employees.. whose salaries you actually PAY through taxes but never question!
Few people are saying that I earn a lot from social media and say that you just post whatever you like on social media
Just to clear
* I hardly earn 1 LPA with combined social media updates in Twitter + Instagram + whatsapp channel
* I hardly done any paid collaboration so far so that I can earn something with the followers i have
For people who are saying it's easy to give updates
Let me clear what I've gone through in last 1 week
I hardly had 4hrs of sleep in 5days due to heavy rains in Telangana and had to give dedicated hourly updates all these days, I don't even earn much with these updates, it's all about my self - satisfaction, passion towards weather and responsibility to make Telangana a weather resilient state
Also many people say that you don't give replies to the comments that we put
Well, let me be open, I don't even get enough time to share weather updates on social media, it's a free service that we are giving to people of Telangana
Few people are taking advantage of this and copying my information without giving credits and the people who are copying my information are earning a lot than me
So keeping all these in mind, I was deeply disturbed and decided to share only limited updates on social media (occasional alerts)

Along with the hubris of the Modi govt, the other thing that got buried today was the Indian mainstream media. They couldn't figure out how to divide people. Some of the channels made one last ditch attempt by trying to bring in the issue of reservation. Neither their anti-national trope worked nor their pak-chinese agent trope worked. They couldn't bring in the Hindu-Muslim angle either.
The youth of India formed their own ways of communicating and informing each other, while completely cutting out the legacy media. Individuals with cameras reporting day in and day out from Jantar Mantar became the media ecosystem. There was little tolerance for 'godi media' and its antics.
However, this govt is petty and they will strike back. They will do everything in the next few days/weeks to ensure that the next time people have to express anger, it is infinitely more difficult. I have already seen scores of people complaining about how their harmless memes have been censored by Instagram. Expect a backlash in the coming days, and be ready for it.
The fight has just started, it will be a long one.
Aapki movie bhi tweet kardo. Bas baat khatam. Release hi kyun karna hain 😡.
The students are at top priority, educationally n security-wise, so they need not worry and have their parents worried for them. The Honorable Prime Minister has tweeted, and I am sure that he will take strict action against all those people who are responsible for this leak. So students, plz go back to your parents n homes.
Sonam, it's done, bro. Don't extend this. Keep the spirit for another day if there be a need, which I doubt, n eat something. If u want, will send u food from home.

In any Developed nation, a Minister in the place of Mr. Dharmendra Pradhan would have taken the responsibility for the failure of his Ministry and stepped down long time back.
I wonder why BJP chose to escalate it to this and remained blind & deaf to the simmering unrest in students for so long
It was an absolutely peaceful demonstration until today. Easy to blame the protesters but they were trying to get heard for almost a month. Actions have reactions.
Such brutal acts by Police is wrong. Not justifying any violence or hooliganism by protesters too.
Simply saying government can't be so blind to issues masses are raising and be in a lala land saying sab changa si

That’s the knowledge that will seep into this soil on this land of bhim and phule. We are no longer a non violent people. Gandhis people are no longer non violent people. We beat up our own children. Generations will remember. In blood and in debt. It will be known.

RSS claims it doesn’t seek government funds, so it doesn’t need registration.
Our investigation reveals state-owned ONGC has poured over Rs 670 crore into 20 Sangh-linked organisations that run hospitals and schools since 2013.
Dharmendra Pradhan and Hardeep Singh Puri have been Ministers during the time.
Do read. Do share.

This is what we do to people who provide valuable service free of cost.
I'm really sad to share a news that I came across few news channels/digital media across You tube/Instagram who are exactly copying my information and weather alerts and giving credits to Meteorological department that the information is quoted by them and erasing the orginal source of information
Just imagine, working hard all the day, night in analysing the weather and posting the updates in social media for betterment of public, and then coming across few channels who completely erase the credits/original source and quote that IMD shared the information and giving credits to them instead of orginal owner
I've come across this many times since last few years, this has been increasing at an alarming rate by many channels/digital media now a days
This seriously demotivates my work to share weather alerts to the people and drives me to restrict the access of my weather alerts to common public 🙏
