I think time has come for @PMOIndia, @ianuragthakur ji to take up big structural reforms in Sports for improvement of India's performance. We need to establish National Sports University in Delhi NCR & then establish branches in every state on the lines of AIIMS, IIT & IIM. 1/8

India rolls out a clear signal to global oil majors that policy risk is off the table. For 21 blocks in OALP-XI • Explicit “no nationalisation” clause in model contract • Assured compensation at fair market value + option for foreign arbitration. After a decades of weak foreign participation, India attempts to de-risk contracts to unlock capital and revive domestic exploration.

This is great, despite a global crisis Modi govt sticks to continuation of reforms by bringing IBC 2.0. This will help further smoothen the bankruptcy framework & allow quick disposal of assets to ensure there value is preserved.

While social media discourse on Bengal focuses on Satyajit Ray and his films, a majority of us are avoiding speaking about the elephant in the room, i.e., the economic growth and the last 15 years of performance of the TMC government. Ashok Gulati(@agulati115 )and Bidisha Chanda's column in the Indian Express speaks at length about this. In 2023-24, WB’s Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) stood at just 1.2 per cent of its GDP — nearly half of India’s 2.3 per cent. The picture worsens when one looks at Net Fixed Capital Formation (NFCF) — a mere 0.4 per cent of GDP, compared to 1.1 per cent for India. This sharp drop reflects the high level of depreciation, which accounts for 64 per cent of GFCF in WB, much higher than India’s 51 per cent. Ultimately, sustained growth and employment generation depend on private investment. Freebies can temporarily cushion poverty; only industry can alleviate it. WB appears to have forgotten this lesson. WB is not short of resources. It lacks the political will to invest, modernise, and compete. indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

How Bengal's Electoral Violence Is Moving From The Booth To The Institutions After the Election Commission's surveillance rejig in poll-bound Bengal, TMC's response has been to upscale coercion — from crude bombs to impeachment motions, dharnas, and the systematic delegitimisation of the election itself. @bingaspeaks swarajyamag.com/west-bengal/ho…

@WhyTheLetter_S I really don't understand how accurate these opinion polls are wrt West Bengal, because of the deletions in SIR. Are they talking to people whose names are there in the eligible list, am not sure. Also, 10% responses are "undecided" BTW, the last opinion poll had BJP at 98-108.

The Battle for Bengal: News18 Vote Vibe Opinion Poll is OUT! ​With 148 as the magic number, the stakes couldn't be higher: ​🟦 TMC: 169–179 🟧 BJP: 113–123 ⬜ OTH: 1–3 ​The projections suggest the ruling party holds the edge, but the opposition is closing the gap significantly compared to previous years. Is Bengal heading for a status quo or a photo finish? ​What’s your take? Is this poll reflecting the ground reality? #WestBengalAssemblyElection
