दिल्ली कितनी रमणीक नगरी है। इस जून के महीने में, जहाँ एक तरफ़ मालदह आम और दूसरी तरफ़ सांसद सदस्य—दोनों की बोली लग रही है। लेकिन आमों की गुणवत्ता का आकलन तो सीधा है, सांसदों का नहीं। व्यंग्य, राजनीति और लोकतंत्र पर एक छोटी सी कविता। #Delhi #Politics #Democracy #Satire #Poetry #YashovardhanAzad

MS Arora thankfully reminding us timely of another fire during Rafale controversy
Replying to @yashoazad
No big deal. A similar fire broke out and fortuitously damaged all the evidence on their computers during Rafale controversy. Two BJP stalwarts also departed hastily to their respective pyres. What did the great Indian public do? “Karwan guzar gaya, gubar dekhte rahe …”

Respected Prime Minister, I congratulate you @narendramodi for completing so many days in office. During your period you have done really well in public delivery schemes, digital connectivity, infra expansion, inflation control, Naxal free campaign, and other things. Now I urge you to focus only on - energy crisis, semi conductors, chips, AI, manufacturing sector, getting FDI back, making ease of business a reality, reviving MSME, Start ups. Economy, Education and Health sectors are not mere ministries but India's heart and soul. You need the right people to man these sectors. Please look at below too: 1. Give India leak proof exams #NEET #cbse 2. Give new ministers for Finance, Defence, Foreign, Education, Health & for core sectors 3. Restart Swacchta abhiyan, your best so far 4. Give monthly Press Conference 5. Rein in ED and CBI 6. Revive institutions like CVC, Lokpal or CIC 7. No religion to be used in speeches or governance 8. Pakistan bashing to stop on a daily basis by ministers, generals and political sundries 9. Instead quietly take out, Dawood, Hafiz & Masood 10. Please leave your old 4 bungalows for other BJP or opposition leaders to enjoy & the road for public - once you shift to Kartavya Bhavan. I wish you a very long life of public service Regards Yashovardhan

Calling Swati a fire brand straight journalist, a Chinese agent is a reprehensible act. These people don’t understand that There are some still out there who have the courage to speak truth and self made. More power to your pen Swati
I had nothing to do with @newsclickin had not even given them an IV or even a byte yet @nishikant_dubey misused Parliamentary privilege to take my name on the floor of the House calling me a “Chinese agent”. I had the tweeted that let Dubey dare say it outside & I would sue him. The coward didn’t @ombirlakota who disgraces the Office he holds first struck off my name then allowed it. Now will both Dubey & Birla apologise as the HC calls the case “gross abuse of Law” will @PMOIndia stop the vendetta & gutter politics he does to fix people he doesn’t like

One longstanding myth about women politicians was shattered. That Politicians defect and ditch parties once they lose or feel threatened by their past ghosts is not surprising. That MPs or MLAs from UBT or TMC or JDs or AAP etc defected happily after suddenly realising one day how bad their original parties were and that they all migrated for power, safety and greener pastures is also not surprising. This is the real India - its politics and character from ages. Traitors made India lose to invaders and renegades have toppled Govts. But what was shocking was the desertion by women politicians. Always thought women had better ethics, maturity, loyalty and sensitivity to stand tall in times of crisis. India is behind 90 years

Amidst the gloom of wars and price rise comes the cheer from the spectacular achievement of this young, bright motivated IAS officer Himanshu Nagpal @HimanshuN_ias working as CDO Varanasi. He has reversed the city's groundwater depletion, by implementing over 1,000 public building rainwater harvesting systems, restoring 393 ponds, and raising the water table by 1.7 metres. He launched Project Mission Muskan to rescue, rehabilitate, and reunite over 1,000 destitute and runaway children with their families and set up smart classes in hundreds of rural government schools. Congrats young man! You will become a model bureaucrat for community-centric development. Blessings! We need more like you.

Why shouldn't Judges play badminton in London? India is extremely hot and there are hardly any airconditioned courts. Besides going out in June means away from the dust, heat, pollution, noise, demonstrations, noise from TV channels to traffic on roads. London in June means same Indian friends but in salubrious surroundings. So Judges have judged India accurately on above counts. Let's not grudge the lords. Our ministers also teach their kids abroad because education system in India is acknowledged by them as not good enough. Our CEOs and families also take holidays abroad bcs there is no place to walk on the mall or top tibba. Besides group dancing is more fun in California or Estonia giving us more name and fame. From the poor labour to students, wealthy Indians to CEOs, FDIs to Rich Nirav types looking to park ill earned money, and the nouveau rich - all want to move to 'Kaneda', "Umreeka' or 'ingland'. WE are 90 years behind

It was a fierce business competition over their promotional posters, between the two coaching institutes in Patna, which led to a mob attack on Khan Sir coaching campus. Khan asked his guards to fire to scare off the intruders from Gyan Bindu. Technically it was self defence, legally too - in so far from the facts revealed. Now whole research on Khan is coming out. Why? He is popular and done a lot for students, opened cancer institute, low cost coaching. Why is one jealous if he was called on Amitabh and Kapil Sharma show. Yes he is a hero for his students. Issues for State govt - 1. How many establishments in bihar have fire safety clearance which can anyway be acquired with a little bit of ........2. Why are guns licensed from Nagaland - because of no faith in law and order and secondly you can never get a license for a genuine cause but yes with sifarish 3. Coaching institutes represent business in education and reveal that education system is in tatters 4. They make money bcs they are even teaching how to crack daroga exam 5. To continue earning they have tremendous stake in stealing the papers beforehand because mostly duffers come out of schools with our type of education 6. Try transferring out some teachers who have given out out their fields and teaching jobs on theka - govt may shake 7. Is there a right of self defence - easiest for police is to file a cross case 8. Fall out of this dispute can be to the State advantage if it resorts to corrections. Otherwise it has serious portents @samrat4bjp

Extremely interesting to watch the India Bloc meeting on various TV channels owned by the billionaires of India - to please the powers that be. The focus is not on reporting. The anchors are are pains at the very outset to give their opinion on how the bloc strength is so fragile and digging out all the differences. Most issues thrown up by anchors are not even in the minds of India bloc members. Without naming leaders quotes are being attributed to them stating how unity cannot be achieved. Very very interesting analysis - no reporting if incidents, facts and actual discussions

India’s security architecture is a failure since the nineties till now. Neither mediation, diplomacy, appeasement, talks and latest the muscle has made any dent. Pakistani terrorist attacks continue time to time. If only any one of these terrorists Dawood, Hafiz and Masood had been eliminated, we could have boasted of our anti terrorist power.

अब तो इस तालाब का पानी बदल दो ये कँवल के फूल कुम्हलाने लगे हैं ~ दुष्यंत कुमार Arvind Subramaniam also says this. We have reached a stage where promises, assurances, oaths, policy changes don’t matter. When trust becomes zero, change the narrator, not the narrative. Period!

So what should be done abt NEET and CBSE fiasco. Start afresh 1. Remove Babus from the education sector across the board - academicians are crying hoarse 2. Advertise for the posts of heads of NEET and CBSE and entertain applications from academicians who have conducted thousands of exams from IITs and reputed universities. With an academician as head, let him be supported by bureaucrats for coordination and administrative part 3. Let the head decide on CBA or paper pen type exam 4. Give him the budget and full autonomy to conduct the exam on a turn key basis. If he fails kick him out and black ball him. 5. Let the minister be irrelevant to the entire exercise and keep fetching votes

Students have no faith in Indian Exam system. NEET and CBSE expose have shattered their belief. Reasons 1. Minister does not resign - also confirms govt belief that even if he resigns, new one will not make any difference. He himself doesn't trust the education system so teaches his kids abroad. So do other ministers. Has been happening in earlier regimes too. 2. Further after @dpradhanbjp are education and health sects both IAS officers who of course have no responsibility so left untouched. 3. 2024 NEET CEO IAS Subodh Sgh transferred then, now is Secretary to CM Chattisgarh, holding 2 other depts. Current CEO is another IAS now secretary rank GOI. 4. Bihar EOW had arrested a mafia for 2024 lapse. Case progress not known 5. CBSE Chairman Rahul Singh and Secy Himanshu Gupta both IAS have been transferred - it's not punishment. The new ones are Chairman another IAS and Secy IIS. 6. The best part is now - Enquiry officer Radha Chauhan is also another IAS retd. So the entire lapse etc affecting careers of lakhs has resulted in renewed conversations between Senior IAS babus with amicable transfers and ministers of course proven irrelevant.
