Hindutva development boys will never accept it, but this is why we won’t achieve grand dreams like becoming a superpower, beating China or even developing a half decent R&D ecosystem
Useless fellows hogging good uni positions and tech resources

I'm hearing Amit Shah and Suvendu asked dancers to perform for them in the rain in Calcutta, barely 45 mins after a stampede killed 19 (official count) in Calcutta? That too just a few kilometres from the pandal. Can anyone confirm?

Important:
This information is factually incorrect. Peace bond is not the issue before the court today. Please do not amplify fake news. Hearing is yet to happen.
#Breaking: @AshutoshRanka, @SauravDassss likely to refuse to sign a peace bond before SEM Court
Their counsels likely to tell SEM Court that they'll challenge Delhi Police's notice before Delhi High Court

Thinking of @SauravDassss today. Always meets with a smile- has a cosy life in Delhi; could've been out doing pandal-hopping like the rest of us but is in jail today for putting skin the game. Don't care about the details of his politics at this point, he's braver than most here.

Why is there such deafening silence around @SauravDassss’s arrest?
Saurav has been so much more than just the leader of CJP. He has contributed immensely to journalism, too.
Why isn’t the journalistic fraternity actively standing up for him?
The silence is baffling!

You don’t say, JD
Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen.
I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn.
And I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country.

“Lawrence Bishnoi Sahab”
The respect Delhi Police has for gangsters…
Wish they showed even 10% of this courtesy to students and activists who are doing nothing but protest.

“A young kid”
Abdul continues to hide who he is as he beats up a young kid.
His faith isn’t the issue. His ideas are.
He wrote an oped urging Americans to support the Muslim Brotherhood if they took over Egypt. After they took over, he publicly called for the MB to purge the police and the media of those who oppose the MB. That’s right - purge.
He calls Israel “bloodthirsty”. Who talks like that?
When a Hezbollah inspired terrorist in tried to blow up a synagogue in Michigan, Abdul justified it by explaining, “hurt people hurt people.” The terrorist’s brother was a Hezbollah commander in Lebanon who had been killed by Israel.
Abdul’s mother was a MB member, his sister supported the 10/7 Hamas massacre of Jews and the Obama Administration put Abdul’s sister in law on the terrorist watch list.
Alone among American candidates, the Muslim Brotherhood issued a statement celebrating Abdul’s win in the D primary.
I don’t know what Abdul is. But I know he’s a risk America can’t afford.

Well I, for one, am shocked.
Democrats for Mike Rogers, a group that has spent millions of dollars to defeat Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, is funded by Republican-aligned organizations, campaign finance records show. truthout.org/articles/democr…

Monday morning questions: How does the Lawrence Bishnoi gang operate with such impunity, in India and abroad, when its BOSS is lodged in the high-security Sabarmati jail? Who is running the network, how is it being funded, and why has the state been unable to dismantle it? A gangster behind bars should not mean a gang beyond the law, no?

FYI, this guy was a Republican plant sent to try and make a viral moment. He is LITERALLY a paid operative

Projects irundha dhane borrowing eh. Cancelled whatever little infra projects we had in pipeline and now proudly claiming this...🤦♂️🤦♂️
📉 Tamil Nadu Cuts SGS Borrowings by 21% in H1 FY27
No major infrastructure projects, so even if it is reduced, all these borrowings are for freebies. 🙃🙏
📉 #TamilNadu was among the most cautious large-state borrowers, cutting its State Government Securities borrowings by 21% year-on-year in the first half of FY27 (April–September 2026).
💰 The state raised ₹405 billion through SGS in H1FY27, shifting Tamil Nadu from second to fifth place in the H1 rankings behind #Maharashtra (₹609 bn), Andhra Pradesh (₹488 bn), #Telangana (₹464 bn), and #Rajasthan (₹407 bn).
