.@raihanrvadra When someone with power becomes afraid of the expression of another, he doesn’t know it, but he has already lost the very power he is trying to protect. You stand for what is true and everything beautiful will find its way to you. I am proud of you, always will be. ❤️ mama

Five hours before his show "No Idea Is Final" opened at Bikaner House, Raihan was forced to strip down the majority of his display. The reason? Photos of Delhi’s youth protests were called "objectionable," and they even demanded he remove photos of the Tiranga. He refused to take down the flag and is now looking for a new spot for the full gallery. Massive respect to him for standing his ground. Always always proud of you @raihanrvadra and in solidarity ✊🏼🇮🇳

A thousand years of wisdom teaches us one eternal law... arrogance blinds the powerful, but justice awakens the people. What is #VoteChori if not the ultimate Adharma of our era? A direct attack on the soul of our democratic faith, where the sacred power of the citizen is stolen in the shadows to serve the throne. This Dussehra, let the symbolic defeat of evil become a real world crusade to restore the absolute sanctity of every single vote. Democracy is the people’s trust, and we will defend it till truth triumphs. May truth always triumph over the darkness of deception Happy Dussehra 🙌🏻

LoP Rahul Gandhi has travelled to many countries around the world. But he never met Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender accused of trafficking underage girls, unlike BJP leaders who met him. Sources: justice.gov/epstein/files/Da… justice.gov/epstein/files/Da…

So, it is true! Hardip Puri was with Jeffrey Epstein; who procured underage girls for world leaders to be exploited upon in Epstein Island and his New York Town House. They would sacrifice children, drink blood and worship Satan. Remember the disappearing girls of Gujarat?

दिल्ली की ऐतिहासिक गांधी मैदान रामलीला में कांग्रेस महासचिव श्रीमती प्रियंका गांधी वाद्रा जी ने प्रभु श्रीराम के दर्शन किए और आशीर्वाद प्राप्त किया। रामलीला की यही सुंदरता है, जो पीढ़ियों से हमारी आस्था और संस्कृति को एक साथ जोड़ती आई है। जय सियाराम! 🙏

Idiotic Godi Media anchors, such as Shiv Aroor, and stupid psephologists with an RSS shield covering him, aka Yashwant Deshmukh, should pick up a book and read a bit of French history. I suggest two years, 1789 and 1848. These guys executed their own monarch. The images are not shocking, they’re only history repeating itself.

Chronology 🚨 The Delimitation bill is nothing more than a planted story designed to divert attention from the issue of Vote Chori. A few days ago, Journalists met with a prominent leader, where a strategy was devised to derail the issue of Vote Chori. The Government currently lacks the numbers for delimitation, nor will it have them in the future. The opposition must remain focused on the issue of Vote Chori, This matter has now begun to reach rural areas.

Exactly. This is the crux of the matter. If wider political parties are coming out and even apologising for past mistakes, it only shows the massive discomfort prevalent within the political parties. NCBN cannot be immune to this.
This doesn’t augur particularly well for the ruling party. Indicates the discomfort among the larger political class with the controversy surrounding the CEC. And the unease is to the extent that parties don’t mind admitting to bad decisions taken in tandem with the govt in order to distance themselves from it.

This Sameer Chougaonkar is the same lackey who, not many months ago, spread the news that Supriya Sule would likely join the govt. She was recently seen in anti-Gyanesh Kumar agitations. This guy is not a journalist, but an extension of BJP’s PR.
इधर राहुल गांधी विपक्ष के साथ मुख्य चुनाव आयुक्त के इस्तीफे की मांग पर धरना प्रदर्शन कर रहे थे,उधर अमित शाह और बीजेपी के रणनीतिकार संसद में दो तिहाई बहुमत हासिल करने की रणनीति पर काम कर रहे थे। दरअसल विपक्षी एकता का नेतृत्व कर रही कांग्रेस को सबसे बड़ा झटका लोकसभा सीटें बढ़ाने के लिए संविधान (131वां संशोधन) बिल,परिसीमन (संशोधन) बिल और केंद्र शासित प्रदेश कानून (संशोधन) बिल पर लगने जा रहा है। गौरतलब है कि संसद का मानसून सत्र 13 अगस्त को खत्म हुआ था,लेकिन इसका अब तक सत्रावसान नहीं किया गया है। क्या है लोकसभा का गणित  लोकसभा में 543 सांसद हैं।3 सीटें खाली हैं। इनमें से एनडीए के 318 सांसद हैं। बिल को पास कराने के लिए दो-तिहाई यानी 360 वोट चाहिए। मतलब सरकार को 42 सांसदो का समर्थन चाहिए। राज्यसभा का क्या है गणित  राज्यसभा में 245 सीटें हैं। 3 खाली हैं। इस तरह 240 में से एनडीए के 153 सांसद हैं।यहां बिल को पास कराने के लिए 162 सांसद चाहिए।यानी,यहां भी एनडीए को छोटी पार्टियों के 9 सांसदों की जरूरत पड़ेगी। कौन सरकार का साथ दे सकता है। लोकसभा में ऐसे 39 सांसद हैं जो ना एनडीए का हिस्सा हैं और ना ही इंडिया गठबंधन का हिस्सा हैं।इसमें से डीएमके के 22, अकाली दल के एक और निर्दलीय और अन्य छोटे दलों के 4 सांसद सरकार का समर्थन कर सकते हैं।नागौर से लोकसभा सांसद हनुमान बेनीवाल का सरकार के साथ जाना तय है। इंडिया गठबंधन में से सबसे दिलचस्प समर्थन नेशनल कॉन्फ़्रेंस के 2, झारखंड मुक्ति मोर्चा के 3 के साथ शरद पवार के 8 सांसदो का समर्थन मिल सकता है। खबर यह भी है कि समाजवादी पार्टी से बातचीत लगभग हो चुकी है।अखिलेश यादव ने थोड़ा समय मांगा है।अखिलेश यादव भी अंतिम समय में सरकार का समर्थन कर सकते हैं। एक क्षेत्रीय पार्टी में बड़ी टूट भी हो सकती है।कांग्रेस के कुछ सांसद भी पाला बदल सकते हैं,भले ही उन्हें फिर चुनाव में जाना पड़े। दरअसल मोदी और शाह कांग्रेस को बड़े झटके के साथ बिल पास कराना चाहते हैं।झटका कब और कितने वोल्ट का होगा यह देखना बाकी है। थोड़ा इंतिज़ार कीजिए।सरकार संसद में बिल पास कराने जा रही है।
