I am deeply pained that a MP representing Bengaluru is denigrating Namma Ooru with baseless allegations. Such irresponsible statements impact people's lives & besmirch our city's reputation.
To curry favour with your Boss, don’t unleash divisive agendas that disrupt our harmony.
BJP is propagating a fake "toolkit" on “COVID-19 mismanagement” & attributing it to AICC Research Department. We are filing an FIR for forgery against

@sambitswaraj
When our country is devastated by COVID, instead of providing relief, BJP shamelessly concocts forgeries
A fitting finale to our extensive manifesto consultation process was our photoshoot with Congress President

He thanked members of the Research team who helped the Manifesto come alive.
Namaskara Bengaluru!
As your candidate to represent Bengaluru North in the Lok Sabha, I am thrilled to introduce the
@INCIndia
party’s 2024 Manifesto.
In this 🧵, I share how the Manifesto outlines a bold new vision for a thriving and sustainable Bengaluru:
1. Growing the
BJP ecosystem indulges in the worst form of cynical politics. Its dirty tricks dept extracted a colleague’s name from our genuine Central Vista document & attributed it to its FAKE ‘toolkit’ She deactivated her SM accounts after online harassment Shame!
Take me on, not my team!
As the sun sets on my 2024 Lok Sabha election campaign, I am full of gratitude to everyone who has supported me.
We have run a spirited campaign, overcoming several challenges. I am proud that we focused on a progressive agenda to make

will usher in GST 2.0, which will be easy to administer and comply with. We will:
➡️Introduce a single, moderate, standard rate of tax
➡️Exempt essential goods from GST
➡️Bring petroleum products under GST
➡️Abolish e-way bills
➡️Exempt exports from GST
Presided over Rajya Sabha for the first time as part of Panel of Vice-Chairmen, who fill in when Chairman & Deputy Chairman are not present.
A special moment for me as my late father MV Venkatappa was Chairman, Legislative Council & Speaker, Legislative Assembly in Karnataka.
An activist who stands up for farmers, fights for our planet, is arrested on flimsy grounds. Has the govt lost its balance? Will not such trumped-up charges, seeing conspiracy in regular social media mobilisation, do more damage to democracy?

Math matters,
@PiyushGoyal
!
At 5% GDP growth, India won't be a $5 trillion economy under Modi 2.0
At 2% agro-growth rate & stagnant wages, farmer incomes won't double in 5 yrs
India historically contributed to growth of math,including zero. That’s your grade for today’s gaffe!

@INCIndia
promises jobs, jobs, jobs. We will
➡️Fill 24 lakh govt vacancies
➡️Create 10 lakh seva mitra positions in every panchayat & ULB
➡️Exempt new business from laws & regulations for 3 years
➡️Launch a Mass Entrepreneurship program
➡️Reward job creating businesses
A few questions the PM must answer:
-Why was Anil Ambani chosen over HAL?
-Why was CBI Chief removed at midnight?
-Where are the 10 crore jobs?
-Why is rural India in distress?
-How did Chhota Modi and Mehul Bhai escape?
Hope PM
@narendramodi
will oblige.

Our letter to Delhi Police. They failed to file an FIR based on our complaint. We were impleaded in an FIR registered in Chhattisgarh and are pursuing the matter there. By carrying on with its investigation, Delhi Police is in violation of law & SC judgements. Satyameva Jayate!

Thank you,

Let’s be clear We made a research note on Central Vista for the party It’s genuine & fact-based. I tweeted yesterday that “COVID19 toolkit" is FORGED & is a MADE in BJP product. Patra is showing metadata/author of a real document & attributing it to a FAKE
A heartfelt thanks to all voters and Congress workers who have supported our campaign. Across India, it is clear that our progressive campaign has resonated with people. We will continue to voice their aspirations!

#ChowkidarChorHai
Prior to May 2014, corridors of North Block & Udyog Bhawan used to be flooded with businessman & industrialists, are today vacant. Because in Modi govt. files are not pushed but decided on merit & in national interest. Once at the helm these middlemen have been rendered jobless.
