#GroundReport from Booth 164 of Bengal's Rajarhat. Active CPM & ISF workers, panchayat members & their families told #AltNews they voted for Left. Result shows 1 vote to Left, 5 to TMC & 637 (97% vote share) to BJP. How's it possible? voters ask. Read: altnews.in/where-did-our-vot…

In WB's Rajarhat New Town, the result in Booth 164 has shocked voters. Several of them told @AltNews they voted for CPI(M), votes which have simply vanished. CPI(M) got only 1 vote in the booth. 88% of voters are Muslims. BJP got 97% of the votes. Thread 🧵

No more surprise moves...

Vedanta Chairman Anil Agarwal paid ₹226 crore to the BJP through electoral bonds. Today, the ED has raided Vedanta after its conflict with Adani over the Jaypee deal. Anil Agarwal has been an enabler of hate politics. He has praised Narendra Modi and compared him to God, but today he is getting a taste of the poison he nurtured. Modi has ditched almost everyone who supported him from the initial days. Now, Anil Agarwal will withdraw the case against Adani in the Jaypee deal. ED is not only an acquisition tool but also a tool for out-of-court settlements.

CBSE अध्यक्ष - ट्रांसफ़र। CBSE सचिव - ट्रांसफ़र। एक-सदस्यीय “जाँच” समिति - गठित। और असल ज़िम्मेदार, धर्मेंद्र प्रधान - सुरक्षित। अधिकारियों को हटा दिया। मंत्री को बचा लिया। यह जवाबदेही नहीं - यह cover-up है। हमारी माँग आज भी वही है: शिक्षा मंत्री को बर्ख़ास्त किया जाए और स्वतंत्र न्यायिक जाँच हो - ये मांगें कोई मोदी सरकार की एक महीने पुरानी अंदरूनी फ़ाइल नहीं जो यूं ही भुला दी जाए। अगर प्रधानमंत्री को 18.5 लाख CBSE छात्रों की परवाह होती - धर्मेंद्र प्रधान जी कब के हटाए जा चुके होते।

Read this story. Carefully. CBSE called for OSM tenders thrice. Zero bids the first time. No qualified bidder the second time. And finally, the technical bar was lowered until COEMPT could clear it. Scanning resolution cut. Robotic scanner requirement dropped. CMMI certification lowered from Level 5 to Level 3. Penalties for errors in answer sheets removed. TCS, India’s biggest IT services company, qualified in the third round too. TCS lost. COEMPT - a company with a spectacular track record of failure - won. And what are CBSE students complaining about today? Badly scanned answer sheets. Missing pages. A broken evaluation portal. Teachers had warned CBSE that the OSM system needed at least a year or two for further preparation before nationwide implementation, yet it was rushed through. So I ask again - who wanted COEMPT to win? Who lowered the bar, step by step, until this company could clear it? Pradhan ji and CBSE say “due process was followed.” That is not an answer, that is not accountability. The question is whether the contract was honestly awarded to the best company which could do the job correctly. The futures of 18.5 lakh children were handed to a company that could only qualify after the rules were bent for it. To the BJP Ministers attacking me for asking questions - I have, from day one, demanded an independent judicial probe. Expand it from CBSE to every contract awarded to COEMPT. Our youth deserve the truth. And Modi ji, your silence on the CBSE debacle and inaction against the Education Minister tells the country what you actually care about - not the futures of lakhs of students, only the survival of your own government.

Indian TV media is so compromised & pathetic that we find out about 100 deaths due to rain & storms in UP from the Russian President. In no other supposed “democracy” is the media so entirely controlled by the ruling party. It’s beyond shameful.

Chandranath Rath murder: Accused Raj Singh - associated with BJP leaders NEET paper leak: Accused Dinesh Biwal - BJP leader from Rajasthan Fatehpur (UP) gangrape case: Accused Bablu Singh - local BJP leader Hyderabad POCSO case: Accused Bandi Bhagirath - BJP leader's son Why always BJP?

Telangana Congress govt has neither taken action any against T Raja for his hate speeches nor arresting the accused in this case.

Chief Electoral Officer Manoj Aggarwal who conducted the West Bengal election for the ECI has been appointed Chief Secretary of Bengal by the new BJP Govt. BJP & ECI are now being open about stealing the election. Are the courts BLIND or COMPLICIT? This is beyond shameless.

If you choose an illiterate clown, you'll only get a circus. 🤡 Yesterday, Modi was talking about saving petrol, and today, for his own amusement, he's flying fighter jets over the Somnath Temple. #Petrol #PMModi #SomnathVirasatK75Yarsh

मोदी जी ने कल जनता से त्याग मांगे - सोना मत ख़रीदो, विदेश मत जाओ, पेट्रोल कम जलाओ, खाद और खाने का तेल कम करो, मेट्रो में चलो, घर से काम करो। ये उपदेश नहीं - ये नाकामी के सबूत हैं। 12 साल में देश को इस मुक़ाम पर ला दिया है कि जनता को बताना पड़ रहा है - क्या ख़रीदे, क्या न ख़रीदे, कहां जाए, कहां न जाए। हर बार ज़िम्मेदारी जनता पर डाल देते हैं ताकि ख़ुद जवाबदेही से बच निकलें। देश चलाना अब Compromised PM के बस की बात नहीं।

South Asia's leading Propaganda News Agency is reporting one sided News because the accused is BJP MP and Union Minister's Son. Why didn't @smitaprakash reach out to the victim of alleged sexual assault first?. Why first release a press statement of a Union Minister's Son who is an accused here?

Assam and Bengal are clear cases of the election being stolen by the BJP with the support of the EC. We agree with Mamata ji. More than 100 seats were stolen in Bengal. We have seen this playbook before: Madhya Pradesh. Haryana. Maharashtra. Lok Sabha 2024 etc चुनाव चोरी, संस्था चोरी - अब और चारा ही क्या है!

IMPORTANT: as predicted and expected, prices of 19 kg Commercial cylinder has been increased by Rs 993 from today. A 19 Kg cylinder will cost Rs 3071.50 in Delhi from today. No change in domestic cylinder prices. Elections over, exit poll drama done, reality strikes! 🙏

Every day the blanket comes off its a new pose 😂

The crook Gyanesh Kumar has issued “unofficial” instructions to arrest over 1000 TMC leaders & workers in Bengal under “preventive detention” before voting day. This list includes sitting MLAs. What’s interesting? Not a SINGLE BJP leader or worker on the list. In the last 2 weeks, ED, IT, & NIA have conducted dozens of raids in Bengal. What’s interesting? Not a SINGLE BJP leader or worker raided. Mamata Banerjee & TMC will win this election resoundingly. The question however is - can a country be called a democracy when the Election Commission becomes a slave of the ruling party at the Centre? Such elections happen in tinpot dictatorships. When there’s a complete institutional breakdown & when courts become mute spectators, how long are we going to pretend that all is ok? When lakhs of people lose their right to vote & when elections are rigged, what sort of a “mother of democracy” are we pretending to be in front of the world?

It is deeply unfortunate that the Prime Minister chose to mislead the nation rather than address it honestly. Let me put this on record. Trinamool Congress has always championed higher political representation for women. We have the highest proportion of female elected representatives in both Parliament and the State Legislature. In the Lok Sabha, 37.9% of our elected members are women. In the Rajya Sabha, we have nominated 46% women members.The question of opposing Women's Reservation does not arise and never has. What we are fundamentally opposed to is the Delimitation exercise that the Modi Government was plotting to push through by using women as a shield for its vested political agenda. What we are fundamentally opposed to is the altering of Babasaheb Ambedkar's Constitution, the division of this nation and the usurpation of power through gerrymandering, by redrawing political contours to hand greater representation to BJP-ruled states at the expense of others. This is an assault on federal democracy. And we will not watch it happen in silence. If this government was genuinely serious about this noble cause, why did it wait nearly three years after the passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill on September 28, 2023? Why rush it through when several states are in election? And why couple it with Delimitation? Trinamool Congress has stood for women for decades. We will continue to. But we will not be lectured on a subject that the ruling dispensation neither understands nor respects. And Mr. Prime Minister, the next time you address the nation, have the courage to do so from the Floor of Parliament, where you are subject to scrutiny, challenge and accountability. What you did yesterday was cowardly, hypocritical and fork-tongued. You can feel power slipping through your fingers. And you are prepared to go to any extent to hold on for just a little while longer. That is all this was.
