Victory of totalitarianism may coincide with the destruction of humanity; wherever it has ruled, it has begun to destroy the essence of man -- Hannah Arendt
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat casually says both people & Govt lowered guard. This is not mere sophistry, this is a sinister conspiracy to normalize Govt's crimes. Citizens being careless is not the same as govt being irresponsible. Modi had to plan for oxygen supply, not citizens.
So many people who don't even know me have offered condolences. I bow to them. You all give me strength & hope. This shows the society remains humane and compassionate in these challenging times. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi says PM's rally was cancelled because they arranged 70,000 chairs and only 700 people came. They were looking for excuses and hence blame state govt for security lapse.
The biggest encroachment is the posh colony of Sainik Farm which houses Delhi's elite. No one had the guts to send bulldozers there. Only the poor face state's wrath.
If a CM makes PM wait for 15 minutes, that becomes an issue. Millions of farmers are waiting for PM for over six months. Is that democracy?

Amrit Kaal: Rahul Gandhi & Sonia Gandhi grilled for days in that bogus National Herald case. ED is silent when the world is shocked at Adani's operations.
Passenger trains bring cancelled to carry coal is a powerful advertisement of governance deficit. Such lack of foresight and planning was indeed never seen in the last 70 years. Even petty shopkeepers run their businesses more efficiently.
My son would have turned 27 today. I was told earlier this year he died in a road accident in Mohali. Police did no investigation; closure report was a pack of lies. You can't expect justice from any government

The majority of people believe public sentiment has turned against Modi but are still skeptical about the result because of EVMs. Such distrust about the electoral process is a national tragedy.
Many educated BJP supporters get angry when you ask them why their children are not in Bajrang Dal. They feel their children are not meant for such lowly acts. So, the children of poor people are being used as raw material for politics of division & violence? Shameful hypocrisy.
This man's tears saddened the nation a few days ago. This vegetable vendor, whose earnings dipped because of soaring prices, got a few moments of joy, thanks to Rahul Gandhi.
One MP in Lok Sabha today demanded an apology from Rahul Gandhi for the injustice of making Jawaharlal Nehru the first PM in place of Sardar Patel. Parliament showcases astonishing intellectual bankruptcy. The level of debate sometimes dips lower than streetside nonsense.

Who decided to hold Kumbh? Who sat on oxygen shortage alert? Who allowed panchayat election in UP? Who exported vaccines? Who refused to place orders for enough vaccines? Who dismantled temporary health facilities raised last year? A blundering Govt.
Rahul Gandhi's Nyay Yatra ended today in Mumbai. Together with his 4000 km walk from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, he is probably the only politician to have crisscrossed the country to meet ordinary people. This is remarkable when most young politicians sell their soul to be in power.
Anna movement was an elite conspiracy backed by the corporate and Sangh Parivar. EVM agitation is a revolt against the entrenched forces. Media coverage is impossible.

is a an extraordinary phenomenon in Indian politics. 30-40 thousand people walking together at every stretch, lakhs of people everyday is unimaginable. This is a true democratic wonder. Any attempt to undermine this Yatra through lies & innuendoes will crash.

Rajya Sabha Chairman is saying, " India has robust and transparent mechanism of awarding contracts. Parliament cannot be used to run down India's system". I have seen Parliament for three decades but never saw the Chair stopping Opposition from making allegations of corruption.
Modi is great. Amit Shah is great. Yogi is great. Savarkar is great. Advani is great. Pranab Mukherjee is great. Charan Singh is great. Narasimha Rao is great.... But Nehru was bad.
How shameful ! The rot is, indeed, so deep !!
Congress says the ex-CJI Ranjan Gogoi's judgment on Congress defectors in Karnataka facilitated horse-trading and he was rewarded for helping Modi. Serious charge; SC must revisit that order and strengthen the anti-defection law. via

Good that PM condemned Bengal violence where 8 people died. So what Modi refused to utter a word on death of 800 protesting farmers and over 150 deaths during note-bandi.
Lalu Prasad going to court for bail in wheelchair just after kidney transplant, when infection can be fatal, shows the ugly, barbaric face of State power. This at a time when investigation is not allowed in Adani cases despite evidence of wrongdoing.
Embarrassment caused by issues like
#ElectoralBonds
doesn't affect Modi supporters. They don't support Modi for probity or ethical politics. They don't even care for prices or jobs. They are animated by bigotry. All they want is dominance of Hindutva politics.

RSS-BJP supporters don't even read their own history. One gentleman last night fought with me viciously when I told him RSS didn't accept the Tricolour for decades.
NDTV's Kamaal Khan's death makes journalism poorer. One of the few saner voices in electronic media. May his family get the strength to deal with this tragedy.
The story here is about the belief of the poor woman that
@RahulGandhi
, the leader whose family has given India three Prime Ministers, will accept the two cocumbers she brought. Not grudgingly, but with a smiling embrace. That's the real Rahul Gandhi.
#BharatJodoYatra
Rahul Gandhi dares Modi to make caste-based census data public, remove 50% reservation cap and give proportional representation.
@RahulGandhi
says he will discuss with BJP who insults OBCs after that. Radical stand taken by the Congress.
Modi said Congress manifesto bears imprints of Muslim League. What does that mean, except a brazen advertisement of intellectual bankruptcy of a Prime Minister? Sad that PM can't engage meaningfully with issues raised by opposition and indulges in low-grade nonsense.
Modi is the first leader who thinks India's destiny is linked to his being the Prime Minister. He repeatedly says India became great only after his arrival. What a sickening megalomania!
No President or Vice President ever gave a public call, appealing to people to rise against opposition. Dhankar's political outbursts are not in sync with constitutional morality. But who cares about constitutional morality in this fake Amrit Kal?
Uddhav Thackeray says his government was pulled down to give Dharavi project to Adani. Congress, too, has described the project as a huge scam. Adani angle is cropping up everywhere, both in business & politics.
Ghulam Nabi Azad is a sophisticated and decent man. His resignation letter was vulgar, probably worse than the low grade leaders who quit earlier. Difficult to believe he drafted the letter; that's not his language.
RSS leader Ram Madhav expects new Bangladesh government to create a modern, secular & democratic country. Even RSS wants secular democracy outside India while nurturing toxic bigotry in our beloved country.
Don't know Kejriwal has any links with Khalistani elements or not. But Kejriwal's inaction and silence in Delhi riots was pathetic. He destroyed his credibility as a progressive leader.
Manmohan Singh didn't block investigation into 2G, coal scam. He removed Pawan Bansal & Ashwini Kumar on flimsiest of charges. Principle of accountability was alive then. Now, it is butchered and buried. NO-investigation is the new doctrine applicable to the ruling party.
While Congress has dealt with issues like 370 & CAA without worrying about electoral fallout,
@priyankagandhi
has gone a step farther by visiting families of victims of police atrocities & compiling a report that was submitted to NHRC.

Kamal Nath is hosting Bageshwar Baba, who is openly campaigning for Hindu rashtra. This Baba is also a symbol of intellectual, moral & spiritual bankruptcy.
Has Congress central leadership stooped that low or a defiant Kamal Nath is violating ethics for electoral gains?
NDTV report suggests one daily wage earner Deepak died soon after vaccine trial in Madhya Pradesh. Even others who were given vaccines were not honestly briefed; no monitoring of complications. Criminal attitude.
This question asked by Congress should trigger a national concern:
“Is there no limit to the favouritism that the Prime Minister will bestow upon his close friends, colleagues and financiers when it comes to lucrative infrastructure contracts?”
Empty buses returning.
Emptiness is frightening for a vibrant democracy. It signifies the hollowness of the regime. It shows governments are empty frames, without any commitment or compassion.
This bulldozer doctrine is a direct assault of constitutionalism. Who has given the administration the rights to run amok? Are the BJP governments determined to end the rule of law?
Bhagwat proves they are unfit to govern. Was it citizens' duty to avoid rushing to Kumbh when PM is inviting them through assurances of safety? Is it citizens' job to strengthen health infrastructure? Did citizens ignore warning by experts, parliamentary committee?
The world respects Nehru. The educated respects Nehru. Political scientists respect Nehru. Historians respect Nehru. Serious students of political science & history respect Nehru. The sensible among the uneducated respects Nehru.
The rest abuse him.
Mamata has been unusually hostile to Rahul Gandhi. To say that Congress can't win even 40 seats betrays frustration. Rahul has demonstrated restraint honouring coalition spirit, but most regional forces have acted irresponsibly.
Not sure how many Congress leaders will appreciate Rahul Gandhi's
#HumDoHumareDo
jibe. But ordinary Congress workers are delighted. They are singing in chorus: Only
@RahulGandhi
can fight Modi. Anybody else to lead the Congress? Perish the thought!
Securalism or pluralism are not antithetical to religion. Problem arises when religion, a matter of personal faith, is used as political tool. Hindus should realise how they are being misled to subvert constitutional scheme.
Never in post-independent India, any PM demonstrated such antagonism towards political opponents & critics. Modi ji never behaved like PM of India. But I appreciate his ability to lie without any shame.
You know why Congress is in such a miserable state? Because people with such shallow understanding of politics and relationship were promoted by Rahul & Priyanka.
Modi's speech today betrayed nervousness. His speeches were always laden with cheap jibes, personal allegations & arrogant boasts, but today, he fell below Sambit Patra level. India's Prime Minister should show some dignity.
By harping on Pakistan and inventing a Muslim angle in everything, Modi is advertising his intellectual bankruptcy. He is honestly telling voters that he has nothing to offer except hate & lies.
Silent on Manipur crisis for over two months, lecturing the nation on all kinds of subjects and touring foreign countries, Modi suddenly discovers pain for
#Manipur
in his heart. India demands greater sincerity & honesty from its Prime Minister.
Why is the main question -- who was responsible for maintaining law & order in Gujarat in 2002 -- not central to the discourse? Why all -- from Sonia Gandhi to Teesta Setalwad -- are guilty but not the key protagonists of the carnage?
So, Hindus can do whatever they want; worship, dance and sing wherever they feel like. But Muslims, even a lone Muslim offering namaz at a hospital or a mall is a crime. Constitution didn't envisage such an India. Who is working to destroy the Constitution?
So the largest party from Bihar is excluded from the PM's all-party meet on Chinese intrusion. People of Bihar should take note.
Time to forge solidarities, not exclusion.

Lok Sabha Speaker has expunged almost all references to

Every Congress leader in Maharashtra knew Milind Deora's loyalty was supect. But the top leadership pampered him by giving the post of joint treasurer. But he betrays. Think of the loyal workers who serve the party without getting anything for decades.
Attack on non-veg stalls in Rajasthan & Chhattisgarh is the worst kind of thuggery. Let the BJP declare in manifesto they will ban non-veg food. This sinister design to terrorise Muslims is unconstitutional. Majority of Hindus who eat non-veg silently watch this ugly tamasha.
A judge may be clueless about what is crime, who is a criminal, what's purity, whose antecedents are bad... the entire country knows the truth of today's politics. Fascinating photographs of

Congress communications chief

has asked more than 40 questions on specific issues relating to Adani affairs, without getting any answers.
Modi Govt didn't answer a simple question -- did it buy Pegasus or not? Another question -- Did China grab our land or not?
Modi's refusal to meet delegation from Manipur waiting in Delhi for 10 days dismayed senior leaders. Former CM Okram Ibobi Singh said in frustration, "we are not beggars. Will you treat any mainland state like this?"
