If Nitish flips, NDA would still be 281 (293-12). Chandrababu’s not going anywhere because he needs huge funds from the Centre for building Andhra’s new capital city Amaravati. If Naidu won’t go, Nitish won’t either because it won’t affect 281. He knows that. At Modi’s mercy.

Total offset by Dassault in its 50:50 JV with Anil Ambani firm is Rs 850 crore. Total offsets value is Rs 30,000 crore shared by 72 vendors. And yet @RahulGandhi lies brazenly about Ambani getting Rs 30,000 crore with NO journo questioning him at presser? Journalism dumbed down

Interesting: a woman journalist Samyabrata Ray Goswami is one of two journalists travelling home from work. Their car is attacked by two men identified by Mumbai police officer escorting the journalists as @INCIndia workers. How many women journalists have condemned this assault?

Imagine: if Delhi police did to @ndtv what Mumbai police is doing to @republic . Cong-Left ecosystem would have sprung into action, called for late night hearing of SC to quash FIR, got foreign media to slam police vendetta, appealed to global human rights bodies, held dharnas.

Congress-Left cabal sees UP CM @myogiadityanath exactly as it saw Modi after 2002 — an existential political threat... the new Maut ka Saudagar. Sonia Gandhi was first to recognise the threat Modi posed to decades of entitled Cong rule & was proved right. Yogi is now Target no. 1

Modi govt has 303 seats in LS but acts like it has 30. Instead of pleading to be heard, PM Modi should have walked out during the disruption. Speaker OM Birla should have picked out the rowdiest Opposition MPs & suspended them for the Monsoon session. Zero tolerance to disrupters

Caste has been India's biggest curse. It divided Hindus, helped Muslims to invade, allowed Europeans to colonise & today lets politicians incite violence

The quality of reporting on the #HathrasCase has been abysmal. TV anchors have used a human tragedy to score political points, tutor the victim’s family, release selective audio & video recordings & fix facts to fit a pre-decided narrative. This isn’t journalism. It’s propaganda

“India will take 12 years to vaccinate entire population, reach herd immunity in 8 years”: This 6-month-old report in ⁦ @IndiaToday ⁩ hasn’t aged well

India will take 12 years to vaccinate entire population, reach herd immunity in 8 years at current...

India has administered over 13 crore vaccine doses so far after beginning the drive in January. At the current pace, it will vaccinate 70% of the population in over 8 years to reach herd immunity.

And @ndtv ’s anchors seem more agitated than even the Congress at the historic revocation of #Article370 . Need a reality check :)

If BJP’s ministers, MPs & spokespersons haven’t been able to demolish @RahulGandhi ’s falsehoods on #RafaleDeal after 4 months, there’s something terribly wrong with its messaging protocol

Dear #CJIChandrachud , congratulations for banning #ElectoralBonds , paid through taxed white donations. Thanks to #SC , this will revive the black economy. Companies will now pay political parties, as they’ve done for decades, in cash that’s untraceable & untaxed. Congratulations.

Indian Navy has stopped with immediate effect the colonial practice of carrying batons. It’s time the Wagah ceremony is ended too. It gives Pakistan a false sense of equivalence. Makes no sense to continue a meaningless pantomime.

Can’t believe it. Every channel bar @ndtv leads 3.30pm news bulletin with PM @narendramodi ’s unexpected visit & rousing speech to Indian troops in #Ladakh . That has journalistic value even if you despise Modi. For ndtv this is a new low.

D Raja messed up Cong plan yesterday by getting caught meeting #Chelameswar . Prakash Karat messes things up today by demanding only collegium judges ("the 4") should hear Ram mandir case. Game up. #Judiciary
