BBMP decentralised into 5 corporations. Blore Police Comissionerate also likely to split into 5.
Why then should protests remain centralised and locked in freedom park ?

Where are the "only freedom park", "traffic jam", "public inconvenience" warriors now? The @PoliceBangalore and @CPBlr must make public the application for permissions and the permission letters.

Chinese troops have come in "6-7 kms" and set up tents according to govt sources quoted in Hindu.
[Remarkable that such a situation can exist for months and far from any action to evict PLA, Indians aren't even told. Xi was even hosted in the meanwhile!]

Is anyone accountable? Can't the CJI and the SC see this or are they pretending to be blind?

We stand by our claim. Did you intentionally replace 13.4 cr with 1.4 cr to make it look silly?
The claim made by @roadscholarz that elections cannot be held in UP bcos the SIR final list (1.4 cr) is much below projected adult pop (16.2 cr) is easily falsified by Table 5 from ssbhalla.substack.com/p/much… - look at low registration of 18-29 yr olds!

Gems of UP SIR :
17 people. 34 voter IDs. One booth in Bulandshahr.
15 filed just ONE Form 6 each as per available data available on UP CEO website, yet all 17 appear twice in the final roll with different voter IDs.
Hello Mr. Navdeep Rinwa @ceoup, We were told, SIR was supposed to remove duplicates. How did your process create them? Who is responsible?
Instead of trying to intimidate “Mr Fact-Checker,” do the job entrusted to you. Explain these discrepancies, fix the rolls and answer the public. Bullying those who expose failures is no substitute for accountability.
#UPSIRFiles
Hello, Mr. Navdeep Rinwa @ceoup. Stop acting like a troll by threatening citizens who point out flaws in SIR.
The SIR exercise in Uttar Pradesh was completed and the final electoral rolls were published in April 2026. Yet duplicate entries remain unresolved. Wasn’t eliminating duplicate entries one of the central objectives of this entire exercise?
Also, do you understand sarcasm? “Buy one, get one free” was precisely that.
In your own tweet, you acknowledge issuing four voter ID cards with different EPIC numbers to one person. How did four applications in the same person’s name pass scrutiny and result in four separate voter IDs?
Submitting four Form6 applications is wrong. Accepting and processing those duplicate requests exposes an even bigger failure in verification. What is the point of SIR if your system cannot detect repeated applications from the same person? If someone applies for fresh enrolment ten times, will @ECISVEEP issue ten different voter IDs?
Further, according to the Form 9 records uploaded on your own UP CEO website, Mr. Sundar submitted Form 6 on January 6 and again on January 14. We have the data for that booth. These are your own official records. This data was uploaded on your own UP CEO website. Also Please upload all Form9s on your website. Many are still missing. Instead of threatening us, Please put more efforts on fixing the failures instead of threatening citizens who expose them.
There are many such cases, Let me share a few more examples here.
Follow below thread. 🧵🔥
