No one wants to turn India into a Muslim country. And India was never a Hindu nation and never will be. We fought for freedom to build a secular, liberal, democratic republic. It’s shameful that India Today has invited such a vicious Islamophobe and brought disgrace upon itself.










SPG director came to meet me in 2016. I had drones and I was playing with it and he was watching. I jokingly asked to him that isn't drones going to be a big security problem. After few days Modi govt banned drones all across India. -- Rahul Gandhi Ji exposed functioning of the Modi govt🔥








Gulf Conflict is going to screw World, especially wrt Oil. Does Bharat need to worry? Let's deep dive before CONgress starts fear mongering to run Chinese Agenda of mounting pressure on #Modi Sarkar to build pressure on #Israel to stop #Iran War. BHARAT NEED NOT WORRY AT ALL! Bharat has 6-8 weeks of crude & crude inventories. 25-30 days LPG & Crude. Even NO immediate plan to raise the prices of Petrol & Diesel. But what if War prolongs? BHARAT STILL NEED NOT WORRY. Bharat's Energy Security? Rock-Solid, Not Shaky! Here's why Bharat needn't sweat over oil supplies—even dodging the Strait of Hormuz chokepoint. Data-driven punch: Let's dive in. 👉First, diversification is our shield. Bharat's crude imports: ~5 mbpd total (Jan 2026 est.). Non-Hormuz sources dominate now—Russia at 1.16 mbpd (25% share, via Indian Ocean routes bypassing Hormuz entirely), US 0.30 mbpd (up 31% YoY from Dec 2024), West Africa (Nigeria/Libya/Egypt) surging to 5%+ combined (Nigeria alone 3.3% in Apr-Nov 2025). Latin America (Brazil/Mexico) adds 2-3%. That's ~40-45% already Hormuz-free! Gulf share down to 55% from 60%+ pre-2022. 👉Avoiding Hormuz? Easy pivot to Atlantic Basin. US/Brazil/West Africa oil sails via Cape of Good Hope—adds 20-30 days transit but zero Hormuz risk. Bharat already ramped US imports to 8.1% (Apr-Nov 2025, from 4.6% prior year). Brazil up big too. Cost? Extra freight ~$1-2/bbl, but beats disruption. Plus, Saudi/UAE bypass pipelines (East-West 5 mbpd capacity, Habshan-Fujairah 1.5 mbpd) can reroute some Gulf oil to Red Sea/Gulf of Oman—India taps that via Suez or direct. 👉Buffer power: Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) at 5.33 MMT (39M barrels, 9.5 days cover) + OMC stocks (64.5 days) = 74 days total cushion. Phase II adds 6.5 MMT (12 days more), pushing toward 90-day goal. Filled to brim in 2020 low-price window—saved ₹5,000 Cr! Short-term crunch? Drawdown + spot buys from "oil on water" tankers. No panic. 👉Long-game wins: Renewables slashing oil dependency. 44.5 GW added in 2025—solar hits 132 GW, renewables meet 51.5% peak electricity demand. Transport? EVs booming (10M+ on roads by 2026 est.), biofuels blend up to 20%. Domestic output + diplomacy (ties with Russia, US, Gulf) ensures steady flow. Bharat sources from 40+ countries now—up from 19 in 2024! 👉Bottom line: Hormuz hiccup? Bharat reroutes, reserves up, diversifies hard. Every $10 oil spike adds $13-14B to bill, but buffers absorb it. Bharat is not vulnerable—Bharat is versatile. Energy security = Bharat's superpower. Now sit back & think! Would this have been possible under Policy-Paralysed CONgress Govt? A party whose Foreign Policy is no different from Domestic Appeasement Policy? Full Marks to PM .@narendramodi Ji's Vision, EAM .@DrSJaishankar Ji's Diplomacy and Petroleum Minister .@HardeepSPuri Ji's Oil Diplomacy. We're actually blessed to have such visionary & proactive Govt in the difficult turbulence time. #AtmanirbharBharat






Though you’re behaving like a troll, u have been a guest on my show so @RatanSharda55 — - I’m surprised you don’t know that most world events have designated Protest zones. - These exist precisely so demonstrations don’t disrupt events — protest is allowed, but regulated near the venue. - At the AI Action Summit in Paris 2025- PauseAI protested at the designated space, while Action- justice- climate chose an unregulated, disruptive protest. - So yes, democratic nations do earmark protest spaces. Also - if you had seen the show instead of peddling clips forwarded on WhatsApp to you - you would have known that I thought the congress protest was in bad form and disrespected not just our international guests but indigenous talent But for that you have to rise beyond troll level intellect !
