Well...❗️😳❓️
This video of @narendramodi is before he becoming PM. It's even more relevant today.

There is a memory I carry with me from my years as a civil servant. It has never left me.... Back then, I had just been transferred as Collector to Mangalore, a city then shadowed by communal violence and a menacing sand mafia. Before I left, word came that the Chief Minister wished to see me personally. It was unusual. Collectors don't typically get called in. I walked into his chamber with a knot in my stomach. He looked at me, that familiar, unreadable face. Steady. Unhurried. "Banri…" he said. (Come in.) "Nimage ondhe kelasa… alli ennum communal aaga baradhu." (You have only one job there. No communal incident should happen.) That was it. No preamble. No politics. No performance. Just a Chief Minister, alone with a young IAS officer, telling him exactly what mattered. In that single sentence lived an entire philosophy of governance. one rooted not in optics, but in the protection of ordinary people from extraordinary hatred. Fifteen days later, Mangalore erupted. Two communal murders, two communities, one city on edge. He called me again. Just as directly. "DC... Do what is required. Take anyone into custody, even our party people. Don't bother. But stop this within a day." To a young collector, those words were everything. They were permission. They were protection. They were political will at its most honest. I have known the contrast too. Under a different dispensation, in a similar crisis, the instruction from the top was the opposite. Do nothing strongly. Let things fester. …That silence said everything about who governs for whom. Siddaramaiah Ji was never that kind of leader. He carried government finances in his fingertips and social justice in his spine. He refused to tour places that reeked of feudalism. He spoke plainly, governed sharply, and stood on the side of the last person in the room. If there was one political figure I have genuinely admired, from the stage and up close, it has been him. His legacy is not in the schemes he launched or the budgets he read. It is in the kind of Chief Minister he chose to be when no one was watching. . On that quiet phone call. In the way he asked a nervous young officer to go out and keep the peace. And now, as he steps back with the same quiet dignity with which he always led, I find myself moved. He has handled this transition with the grace of someone who always knew that principles outlast positions. Siddaramaiah Ji....long life, good health, and please keep guiding us. The Congress, and this country, still needs the kind of moral clarity only you carry so naturally.

Do read the statements of @ceo_karnataka . Absolutely leaving the door open for the arbitrary 'logical discrepancy' to happen in Karnataka too. Dangerous times ahead for Kannadigas.
Whether SIR in Karnataka will trigger “logical discrepancies” will be known only after the draft electoral rolls are published, Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer V. Anbu Kumar said @the_hindu Read the full interview here: thehindu.com/news/national/k…

🚨 BIG BREAKING 🚨 Rahul spoke to Stalin today. Stalin and Rahul are on the same page. Stalin is OK with Congress giving support and forming alliance with TVK to keep BJP & AIADMK away from Tamil Nadu. Stalin said "Saving democracy is foremost. We will stay in INDIA alliance."

Rashtriya Surrender Sangh. Farzi nationalism in Nagpur. Pure servility in USA. Ram Madhav has only revealed Sangh’s true nature.

राम माधव उवाच: जो हुकुम सरकारी वही बने तरकारी। अमेरिका ने जो हुक्म दिया हमने वही किया। हमने ईरान से तेल लेना बंद किया 🔸रूस से तेल लेना बंद किया। 🔸50% टैरिफ पर कुछ नहीं कहा 🔸 18% टैरिफ के लिए राजी हुए, जो एवरेज टैरिफ से बहुत ज्यादा है 🔸हमें विपक्ष की आलोचना झेलनी पड़ी, लेकिन भारत सरकार ने कहां कमी रखी? _____ इस आयोजन से बाहर निकलते समय राम माधव को एक अमेरिकी पत्रकार ने सवालों के घेरे में ले लिया था। जवाब देने के बजाय राम माधव भाग खड़े हुए। लिंक youtu.be/4z8AJDd4DYM?si=CD1-…

A woman is allegedly seen losing her cool on Maharashtra cabinet minister Girish Mahajan, over the traffic snarl caused by the BJP morcha in Mumbai on Tuesday evening. This was during a protest march on the issue of the Women's Reservation Bill. She was heard asking the minister to protest on a ground, and not hold up the traffic by marching on the streets. The opposition hit out at the BJP while appreciating the woman. - @vinivdvc reports Video: Special Arrangement

Indira Gandhi was disqualified by Allahabad High Court on June 12, 1975, in State of Uttar Pradesh v. Raj Narain. Court invalidated her 1971 Rae Bareli LS win for using govt resources in her campaign. DD and AIR are govt resources.
PM Modi's speech today was a gross violation of the Model Code of Conduct. Will @ECISVEEP take action?

Post poll retaliation has begun in Assam. Late night FIR against a candidate @KunkiCofficial whose emergence as voice of Assamese youth rattled Himanta Biswa Sarma. Mid night detention of her social media colleagues. All on frivolous charges.
An FIR has been filed against me and our social media team. Consequently, the police detained our colleagues in the middle of the night. I am currently waiting at the police station to record my statement, as according to the law, the police do not record a woman's statement

Respected sir maybe there was a communication issue but the way I remmeber the last 3 questions of my cross examination this evening - Do you feel remorse - No Are you sorry about what you said- No If you tender an unconditional apology this matter will be looked at differently - No I can’t as the apology would not be sincere. Also it would set a terrible precedent for other artists & their freedom.
Mumbai, Maharashtra: On Comedian Kunal Kamra appeared before the Vidhan Bhavan Privileges Committee over remarks against Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, BJP MLC Prasad Lad says, "Today was Kunal Kamra's 3rd or 4th hearing. Today we had to record his testimony. In this matter, Pravin Darekar had filed a complaint against him. Today was the time to cross-question him. Kunal Kamra and Pravin Darekar were cross-questioned. 24 questions were asked to Kunal Kamra. In which he tried to explain his mistakes. He tried to ask about the rights of the constitution. He tried to ask about the rights of the privilege committee..''

#India: We regret fast passage of Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026, without adequate stakeholder consultation. The amendments risk setting back hard-won rights of transgender people, replacing self-identification with mandatory medical verification processes. India has been a pioneer for rights of transgender & gender-diverse people. This Bill will have far-reaching impacts on right to privacy & risk marginalisation of transgender people.
