Crude oil is at ~$81/barrel today. Under UPA, when crude was $107/barrel, petrol was ₹72/litre in Delhi. Under Modi, with crude at $81; petrol is ₹102/litre. CHEAPER crude. COSTLIER petrol. Someone is pocketing the difference. Let’s talk about who. 🧵

Govt's own Oil Ministry: 'Ethanol-blended fuel can't be cheaper as costs now surpass petrol.' So why is E20 mandatory at the pump, with lower mileage and no price cut?

@narendramodi Lol

A Government for the middle class… It is the NDA Government’s privilege to be working towards fulfilling the aspirations of our middle class. They have contributed to nation-building in countless ways. Over the last decade, governance has increasingly focused on improving the quality of life of ordinary citizens. Our efforts are about easier access to opportunities, better infrastructure, improved public services, affordable healthcare, quality education, cleaner cities and reduced burdens in everyday life. #12YearsOfSakshamMiddleClass

A banker caring for an ailing parent is often left with a choice between family and career Parent Care Leave, childcare support, compassionate transfers & #5DaysBanking are not privileges, they are necessities Bankers deserve humane HR policies too. #ParentCareLeave @BJP4India

Looks like we are doomed! What if the cars get damaged due to E20, and the insurance doesn't support the claim? Who will bear the costs? We pay road tax, car tax, fuel tax... if the car gets damaged, should we just sell it as scrap, pay tax on the scrap income too? 🤷‍♂️

In what capacity has @nitin_gadkari signed the supposed ethanol regulations file? - Is he the Petroleum minister? - Is he the agriculture minister? - Is he the industries minister? Why is @PMOIndia ignoring this brazen conflict of interest? Either Modi ji doesn't know what's happening in his cabinet, or NiGa knows something which makes him immune to any action from the PM.

What's happening in this country, @nitin_gadkari ji? You are introducing some fancy mix of fuel every day without any ecosystem support? Why is there no buy in from insurance companies or manufacturers? Use of E20 can lead to claims rejection. I don't want to use E20. Do I have a choice at the fuel station? Why are we being taken for a ride?

SBI , India's largest bank with 2.45 lakh employees , is now grandstanding about a "major HR overhaul" to tackle employee burnout. The real hypocrisy is glaring: these same RM-ZM-GM overlords who fancy themselves as HR gurus are utterly clueless when it comes to actual people management. One day they play credit experts, next day valuation engineers or recovery advocates , but in HR? Complete zero. No specialization, just ego-driven arrogance and chamchagiri powered decisions that crush field officers. While they preach "generational shifts," "digital transformation," and "agile workplaces" from air-conditioned cabins, Branch Managers and frontline staff like us are burning out under: Arbitrary transfers treated as punishment tools Endless WhatsApp tyranny and impossible targets Single-handedly juggling marketing, recovery, insurance, ops, compliance, and customer service Zero right to disconnect or workload balance between branches and controlling offices This is not burnout from "modern challenges" it's manufactured by incompetent, hypocritical management that talks empathy but delivers harassment. Fancy jargon won't fix a toxic culture where officers are treated as disposable while top brass enjoys all perks and zero accountability. We demand real change: a specialized HR cadre with actual expertise, regulated hours, Equal PLI across scales, promotion fairness, and mental health support that isn't just another PR workshop. Enough of this hypocrisy. The ground reality must be mirrored. What’s your experience? Speak up , the silence has cost us enough. @TheOfficialSBI @DFS_India

Baat to sahi hai

The owner of this red car has a question for Mr. Nitin Gadkari. He bought the car in 2019, and the car's manual clearly says that only E5 or E10 petrol should be used. However, from April, E20 petrol has been introduced by the government. So his question is: If his car is not designed for E20 fuel, where should he get suitable petrol, and who will be responsible for any loss or damage caused by this change?

E20 was rolled out to all 90,000 petrol stations in India. No parliamentary debate. No formal notification to vehicle owners. No Lok Sabha vote. No Rajya Sabha resolution. A fuel change affecting 234 million vehicles and every Indian who fills a tank was done as a bureaucratic order. Where is Parliament in this policy?

Latur, Maharashtra Police ! Are we waiting for people to die at the hands of such Police Officers ? When are we going to say enough is enough ? The role of the traffic police is to regulate traffic, enforce road safety, and issue penalties (challans) for violations. They do not have the authority to inflict physical punishment on citizens. Any act of physical violence by an officer is a violation of the law and human rights. Right to Due Process: If a rider fails to stop, the legal recourse for the police is to note the vehicle's registration number, track the owner, and issue a challan or summon the individual to court.

"BJP will abolish income tax if voted to power." — Nitin Gadkari, 12 years ago.

An overbridge built at a cost of 26Crores in Bihar developed structural damage within 4 days of inauguration! Is it incompetence or corruption? Is it a problem of Bihar, or of BJP govts?

With all the E20 Petrol now across India, noticing some issues in not so older cars, yes cars sold in the last 2-3 years are E20 compliant, but what about older cars @volklub Is the Govt indirectly telling users not to buy Petrol cars as of now? I have moved to EVs but reality is not everyone can do that and when ppl buy cars and keep them for 10-12 years so why force E20 Petrol on cars that are not designed for that engine, won’t it degrade those vehicles.

🤔 A simple question to UFBU Before #5DaysBanking negotiations, most banks had already abolished the 30-minute official lunch break. Then why was an additional 45 minutes of working time agreed to in the settlement ? 30 minutes lunch break lost + 45 minutes extra duty = 75 minutes increase in effective working hours. So how is this being projected as only a 45 minute increase ? Can any UFBU leader explain this logic to lakhs of bank employees ? #5DaysBanking #BankersVoice #BankEmployees #PublicSectorBanks #BankingReforms #UFBU #AIBOC @DFS_India @aiboc_in

इथेनॉल मामले पर मेरा एक सीधा सा सवाल हमेशा रहता है। एथेनाल से वाहन मालिक को क्या फायदा? क्या इथेनॉल मिला पेट्रोल सस्ता मिलता है? या इथेनॉल मिश्रित पेट्रोल से चलने वाली गाड़ी का माइलेज बढ़ता है? जब दोनों में से कोई चीज होती ही नहीं तो इथेनॉल मिश्रित पेट्रोल से वाहन मालिक को क्या फायदा हुआ? और किसानों को फायदे वाली बात अलग रखो। उन्हें अलग से पैसे दे दो। पर कम से कम उन करोड़ों दो पहिया/ चौपहिया वाहन मालिकों का आर्थिक शोषण बंद करो जो मेहनत से कमा के गाड़ी लाया और चलाया करता है।

When Frank Lampard intentionally played down Cristiano Ronaldo's challenge on him to stop the Portuguese star from being shown a second yellow card. A reminder of a different era. They don't make footballers like that anymore. 👏⚽️

Our gutter gas making chaiwala has spawned many scientists as ministers & CMs. Here is our own CM Rekha Gupta with her scientific nuggets on why there is water shortage!

Bankers dont have fixed duty. No summer or winter vacations. No spare time during working days. With acute staff shortages and extended working hours, assigning bankers to non-banking duties only adds to the burden. Let bankers do banking #BankersVoice #StaffShortage
