Fascist who... 1. Rolled back farm laws, hit and run law seeing all protests 2. Let fort be captured by rioters but didn't open fire on them 3. Who let Delhi get hijacked by Shahin bagh freeloaders 4. Let his party lose crushingly in UP, MH What a pathetic fascist indeed!!

The Supreme Court has reiterated a basic constitutional principle: the open category is not a GC quota it is a merit pool open to all. What policy has done instead is quietly flip the logic: merit is treated as a disadvantage, open seats are compressed, and GC candidates are made the permanent shock absorbers of every social experiment. Affirmative action was meant to fix exclusion. Turning merit into a penalty creates a new one. No society progresses by systematically taxing competence and calling it justice.

Forget about challan or confiscating. @CPPuneCity @PuneCityTraffic @PuneCityPolice pl tell us how will u track this vehicle if it's carrying explosives and used in a terror attack? Or if it's carrying a kidnapped kid for ransom?

I recently created a python program that uses Google's Air Quality API to get daywise AQI. Comparing Vanaz (still green) and Tathwade where I live. The result is clear. Vanaz's avg aqi is below 150. Tathwade is above 250! #AirPollution

Reason, illegal RMC plants, no trees left all cut for favour of commercial establishments, no playgrounds, no gardens, just concrete jungle

#Hinjawadi ITpark or #Tragicpark ? Another accident kills two school kids today in Hinjawadi . Company bus with driver fully drunk on such busy area during peak hours . Its tragedy that @CMOMaharashtra has no time to visit ITpark to fix issues . After so many deaths he should visit and understand things on his own along with DCM. @PCcityPolice we still have encroachment in this area and no footpath to walk while @OfficialPMRDA & @midc_india is not taking any actions.

Decathlon junction, Wakad, Pune. If lanes are painted and just a few trees planted. Even if municipality performs its most basic task our cities will end up looking hundred times better #Pune

AQI in Tathawade, Wakad, Hinjewadi is above 310. The 24×7 RMC plant is creating severe dust and pollution — residents are struggling to breathe. Requesting urgent action to protect public health.

Marathas-The rulers of largest kingdom till British, are now classified as "backward". We should now demand that entire population of India, under their rule once, should also be declared "backward"! If rulers are "backward", their subjects should be "backward" too, isn't it?😂

This man, who is seen traveling in a private helicopter here, is currently sitting on a hunger strike to get a backward category certificate. Classic mockery of the very idea of social justice!

Just read this- someone shared his story in a comment: > Secured rank 1 > Applied to 6 colleges > Didn't get a seat, thanks to Reservations That was 23 years ago. Nothing has changed. Imagine denying a seat to Rank 1 and then wondering why we are still a “developing nation."

This is EXACTLY what we should expect on Law College rd and SB road once the 265 cr Balbharati road is built - bottleneck designs at Symbiosis and NCC grounds due to the flyover and underpass and at Paud phata due to the Metro station will cause chaos! Not only will PMC have wasted 100s of crores of taxpayer money on a useless road, the consequences of damaging shallow aquifers on the hill and cutting 3k trees will have a devastating, long term impact on Deccan and surrounding areas. #SaveVetalTekdi I'm shocked that some people still consider this 'development' @VTBKS_Pune

कावड यात्रा आयोजीत केली, पण मतदार संघात चांगले रुग्णालय बांधायचे राहून गेले. तुमच्याकडे पैसा आहे म्हणून विमानाची सोय करू शकलात. सामान्य लोकांच काय?
माझ्या आईला तीन ब्लॉकेजेस निघाले.. तातडीने पुढील उपचारासाठी मुंबईला जाण्यासाठी राज्याचे उपमुख्यमंत्री @mieknathshinde यांनी #air_ambulance पाठवली.. स्वतः विमानतळावर येऊन आईच्या तब्येतीची विचारपूस करून धीर दिला.. मनापासून धन्यवाद साहेब.

When I speak about Reservation, I’m not against anyone I’m against vote bank politics - the laziest & cheapest politics in history. I hope this video reaches every SC, ST, OBC, and GC. It’s time for tough and real politics!

This is what Renault India has responded to customer query on Ethanol blending: 1. Car has not been tested for E20 compatibility 2. E20 fuel is not advisable So, while government is forcing ethanol on us, automobile companies are advising against it. What a joke is going on!

@DGPMaharashtra @CMOMaharashtra @mieknathshinde MLA Vilas Bhumre. No #HSRP installed. Whereas he can get it done in 2 days using his POWER. Hope he will install it before the deadline of 15 Aug 2025. @nachiket1982 @DefenceBrat @VahanScore @drivesafehere

I’m a dog parent and love dogs. My golden retriever Duke is family. ❤️ But I fully support the Supreme Court’s decision to remove stray dogs from Delhi-NCR’s streets, in fact it should be implemented in Maharashtra too. Stray dogs in India aren’t just an “inconvenience”, they’re a menace. We’ve normalised dog-bite cases, rabies deaths, and aggressive packs chasing kids, cyclists, and delivery guys. You don’t see this in any other country. Go to Singapore, Japan, Europe, US where dogs are pets and not free-roaming hazards. Don't get me wrong, I love dogs but I also love seeing kids play in the park without fear, delivery agents ride without being chased, and pedestrians walk without dodging packs. This decision will anger many. But it might finally make Indian cities safer for humans and for the dogs themselves.
