The manner in which the BJP is celebrating and engaging in self-promotion across the country over Prime Minister Narendra Modi surpassing former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's tenure by a single day appears to be nothing more than an attempt to divert public attention from the pressing issues facing the nation today. Ordinary citizens are grappling with soaring prices, unemployment, the distress of farmers, the crisis facing small and medium enterprises, the depreciation of the Indian Rupee, and the uncertain future confronting the country's youth. Millions of young Indians are being compelled to seek better education, employment opportunities, and prospects abroad. Yet, instead of focusing on addressing these critical challenges, the BJP government seems more preoccupied with self-promotion and divisive political narratives. The number of days a Prime Minister remains in office is not, by itself, a measure of success in the pages of history. What truly matters is the contribution made towards the welfare of the people, the institutions built and strengthened, and the role played in shaping the nation's future. It is these factors that history ultimately judges. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru laid the foundations of modern India and provided the country with a clear vision for the future. That is why history remembers him not for the length of his tenure, but for his work, his vision, and his enduring contributions to nation-building. — Shri @ripunbora Former President , Assam Pradesh Congress Committee

12 वर्षों की गरीब-विरोधी आर्थिक नीतियों और compromised विदेश नीति ने आज देश को ऐसे हालात में ला खड़ा कर दिया है जहाँ लाखों गरीब परिवारों और महिलाओं को लकड़ी के ज़हरीले धुएं की तरफ धकेल दिया गया है। उज्ज्वला योजना में सब्सिडी वाले सिलेंडरों की संख्या 9 से घटाकर 4 कर दिया गया। उसपर पिछले 3 महीनों में घरेलू LPG सिलेंडर के दाम ₹89 बढ़ा दिया गया - मतलब, पहले दाम बढ़ाओ, फिर सब्सिडी घटाओ, गरीबों का चूल्हा बुझाओ। प्रवासी मजदूरों की जीवनरेखा, 5 किलो का सिलेंडर भी ₹323 महंगा कर दिया - वो कमाएगा क्या, खाएगा क्या, और बचाएगा क्या? अरबपति मित्रों को लाखों करोड़ों की कर्ज़माफ़ी दिलाना और गरीबों को अपनी नाकामियों का बिल थमाना - ये लूट का मोदी मॉडल है। मोदी जी, क्या आपकी नाकामियों का बोझ सिर्फ गरीब उठाएंगे? क्या आपकी बनाई इस चरमराती अर्थव्यवस्था की कीमत मजदूर, किसान, महिलाएं और मध्यम वर्ग ही चुकाएंगे?

The cancellation of Meenakshi Natarajan's Rajya Sabha nomination raises serious questions about the fairness and transparency of the electoral process. When constitutional institutions appear to bend under political pressure, democracy itself is weakened. The BJP's relentless attempt to manipulate every institution, coupled with the Election Commission's silence, is eroding public trust. India deserves independent institutions, not instruments of the ruling party. #DemocracyUnderAttack #MeenakshiNatarajan

Democracy cannot survive when constitutional institutions are reduced to instruments of political convenience. The rejection of Congress Rajya Sabha candidate Meenakshi Natarajan ji's nomination from Madhya Pradesh raises serious questions about the fairness of our democratic institutions. When a Congress delegation approached the Election Commission to challenge this decision, officials refused to even meet them, forcing the delegation to stage a sit-in outside its office. The country is watching. Every such action raises serious questions about the independence of institutions and the health of our democracy. Democracy belongs to the people, not to those who seek to undermine it. PM Modi and the Election Commission want to silence every democratic voice that challenges the government. But our fight to protect the Constitution and democratic values will continue. 🇮🇳

Deeply saddened by the passing of Suraj Hegde ji, former AICC Secretary and former In-charge of the Indian Youth Congress. His dedication to organizational work, commitment to democratic values and efforts in nurturing young leadership earned him immense respect across the Congress family. His contributions will continue to inspire generations of party workers. My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and colleagues in this moment of grief. May his soul rest in peace. Om Shanti.

PM @narendramodi जी, INS Baaz, UPA सरकार में स्थापित किया गया नौसैनिक अड्डा, पिछले पाँच साल से विस्तार की माँग कर रहा है। मगर, सरकार ने नौसेना की बात अनसुनी कर दी। अगर आप Great Nicobar project को देश की सुरक्षा से जोड़ते हैं तो आज ही INS Baaz का विस्तार कीजिए। मैं पूरी तरह समर्थन में हूं और पूरा विपक्ष आपके साथ है। INS Baaz तट पर है - इसके लिए न 1.5 करोड़ पेड़ काटने की ज़रूरत है, न जनजातियों को विस्थापित करने की। पर सच्चाई यह है - यह project देश की सुरक्षा के लिए नहीं है। यह project है हमारे देश की सबसे अनमोल ज़मीन को एक व्यापारी के हाथों सौंपने के लिए। और हमेशा की तरह इसके लिए भी सेना के नाम का सहारा लिया जा रहा है। @narendramodi जी - देश की रक्षा सेना करती है। होटल और casino नहीं। youtu.be/dpYuGZx_ogo?si=D8YD…

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।

Strongly condemn the attack on MP @abhishekaitc. Violence and intimidation have no place in a democracy. When political opponents are targeted instead of being challenged through ideas and public debate, it raises serious questions about the state of democratic values in the country. The BJP must stop fostering a culture of hatred, fear and political vendetta. India's democracy is strengthened by dissent, not by attacks on opposition leaders. We stand in solidarity with Abhishek Banerjee and demand strict action against those responsible.

सांसद अभिषेक बनर्जी जी पर सोनारपुर में हुआ हमला बेहद निंदनीय है। एक सांसद पर हमला सिर्फ़ एक व्यक्ति पर हमला नहीं - यह उस जनता पर है जिसने उन्हें चुना, और उस लोकतंत्र पर है जो हम सबकी साझी विरासत है। यह BJP की बदले की राजनीति का घिनौना रूप है। राजनीतिक मतभेद कभी हिंसा का कारण नहीं बन सकते। केंद्र और पश्चिम बंगाल सरकार - दोनों दोषियों पर तत्काल कार्रवाई करें, और यह सुनिश्चित करें कि कोई भी जन-प्रतिनिधि, किसी भी दल का हो, अपनी सुरक्षा को लेकर चिंतित न रहे। अभिषेक जी, मेरी संवेदनाएँ आपके और आपके परिवार के साथ हैं। आप जल्द स्वस्थ हों।

NEET। CBSE। SSC। और आज CUET। चार परीक्षाएँ। एक करोड़ बच्चे। एक भी ईमानदारी से नहीं हो पाई। दावे "विश्वगुरु" के, मगर देश में एक परीक्षा नहीं करवा सकते - मोदी जी ने पूरी शिक्षा व्यवस्था तबाह कर दी है। जिस पीढ़ी का भविष्य आप बर्बाद कर रहे हैं - वही पीढ़ी आपका हिसाब करेगी।

For 12 years, the BJP has ruled the country by spreading fear in the name of religion and claiming that Hindus are under threat in a Hindu-majority nation. If Hindus were truly unsafe, then what has the BJP government done in these 12 years to ensure their security and harmony? The truth is, BJP thrives on fear and division instead of focusing on real issues like unemployment, inflation, education, and development.

Dharmendra Pradhan ji, you can attack me all you want but it won’t absolve you of your crimes. Nor will it stop me from demanding answers for 18.5 lakh children. Why was the CBSE OSM contract handed to COEMPT - a company already mired in controversy under its old name, Globarena? On whose orders was it done? Why were no background checks done? What is the connection between COEMPT’s management and the Modi government? Either you ran a background check and went ahead anyway - or you didn’t run one at all. Either way, you are complicit. As for responsibility - if the PM cared, he should have sacked you long ago for ruining the futures of lakhs of students.
VIDEO | Delhi: Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on LoP Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi's remark over alleged in discrepancies in CBSE exams, says, "Yesterday CBSE gave its response regarding this matter. It is in accordance with the procurement policy of the Government of India. I want to assure everyone that if any irregularities are found, no one will be spared. But as far as Rahul Gandhi is concerned, he seems to have reached a different state of mind. Due to continuous electoral defeats, he appears frustrated. He opposed SIR, he used to oppose EVMs, and he opposed Digital India. He does not seem to stand with India’s scientific progress. As far as this issue is concerned, I myself take responsibility on behalf of the government for any inconvenience, and I request everyone that this is not the time for politics. I have said this earlier as well. Politics can be done later. Right now, the most important thing is that the mental stress of these students and examinees should not increase further. We appeal to everyone that no one’s words or behavior should add to their stress." (Full video available on PTI Videos - ptivideos.com)

महंगाई मानव मोदी का फिर से हमला। पेट्रोल-डीज़ल के दाम किश्तों में बढ़ाते हैं - ताकि चुपके-चुपके आपकी जेब कटती रहे। मैं महीनों से आर्थिक तूफान आने की बात कह रहा था। पर मोदी जी तब हमेशा की तरह चुनाव में व्यस्त थे - और चुनाव खत्म होते ही पेट्रोल-डीजल ₹8 महंगा कर दिया। और, ये बढ़त होती ही जाएगी। महंगाई मानव मोदी का एक ही काम है - चुनाव में वादे, और बाक़ी समय जनता की जेब पर वार।
