SHOCKING: Even after giving a letter of support to @TVKVijayHQ , they called me & said that I would be made the Chief Minister. They also asked me to withdraw my support & asked me not to meet the press and media 🤯🙄 — @thirumaofficial

India stands out as one of the biggest losers as the artificial intelligence trade reshapes global investment flows. ebx.sh/v5mtrN

Narendra Modi and his supporters didn’t just fail the country, they hollowed it out while selling nationalism as a replacement for governance. Institutions weakened, media compromised, economy running on optics, public discourse reduced to propaganda and chest-thumping. By the time he leaves, rebuilding India won’t be a reform, it’ll be a disaster recovery. The scary part? Even he has started admitting it indirectly in recent speeches. The confidence is fading, the excuses are getting louder and the cracks are now too big to hide behind event management and camera angles. We’re not just cooked, the entire kitchen is burning.

TRAVELLERS REPORT FUEL SHORTAGES AT SOME PETROL PUMPS ACROSS MAHARASHTRA, GUJARAT & RAJASTHAN

Crisis worse than Covid seems to be coming. In the upcoming weeks and months, TN people will rue their decision and @TVKVijayHQ their own phyric victory.

How worrying is the global Ebola emergency? bbc.in/49R9lDW

At a time of acute climate crisis, India has chopped down nearly 3 million trees. 3 million! And in just 5 years.

The quiet grief of adult friendship: One of the most beautiful articles I've read in a while. Hits hard timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/civil-ir…

This Ebola outbreak could get bad Really bad And what's worse - US leadership for building testing capacity, training ,clinical trials, and assisting with efforts to control these outbreaks is now pretty much gone since RFK Jr destroyed it.

The scuffle broke out at fuel station at Wasim, Akola in Maharashtra. Farmers are struggling to get the fuel for their tractors for tilling & farm related work. There is severe shortage of fuel. People have to wait for uncertain period to get the fuel at many fuel stations.

Russia is willing to provide us fuel and gas. Iran too. We were temporarily allowed by US to import oil from Russia. That deadline expired last night. US has not renewed the permission so far. Trump went all the way to China and said he has no problem in China importing oil from Iran. China has not been waiting for his permission and is already doing it. Not only that China is actively helping Iran in it's war against America. Why America should decide who we should buy energy from and by how much? Why India's energy security need to be dictated by America? Now America, Israel and UAE are functioning like a block. Why we should limit our oil dealings only with this block? Be it Russia, Iran or Venezuela- who we buy oil from is based on our requirement. Who is America to decide that?

NEET 2024: पेपर लीक हुआ। परीक्षा रद्द नहीं हुई। मंत्री ने इस्तीफ़ा नहीं दिया। CBI ने जांच बिठाई। एक कमेटी बनी। NEET 2026: पेपर लीक हुआ। परीक्षा रद्द हुई। मंत्री ने फिर इस्तीफ़ा नहीं दिया। CBI फिर जाँच कर रही है। एक और कमेटी बनेगी। मोदी जी, देश आपसे कुछ सवाल पूछ रहा है - जवाब दो! बार-बार पेपर लीक क्यों हो रहे हैं? बार-बार इस "परीक्षा पे चर्चा" पर आप चुप क्यों हैं? बार-बार फेल हो रहे शिक्षा मंत्री को आप बर्खास्त क्यों नहीं कर रहे हैं? #SackPradhan

First the NEET paper leak affecting 22 lakh students. Then CBSE Class 12 students receiving unexpectedly low marks from a broken OSM system - many losing their college eligibility. Now lakhs of CBSE Class 9 students suddenly asked to learn a new language from July 1, with no teachers, no textbooks, and Class 6 books being handed to 14-year-olds as a “transitional” fix. Three exams. Three age groups. One Minister. Dharmendra Pradhan ji has not failed once. He has failed every single age group of India’s students at once. Every announcement plunges children deeper into uncertainty. Every failure goes unpunished. The Education Ministry has become a department of disasters. Prime Minister Modi ji - can you at least apologise to the lakhs of children whose futures you and your Minister have destroyed? #SackPradhan

If this fuel crisis will not stop soon, all the govt targets of 2047 will get postpone to 2147.

#WATCH | Bhopal, MP | State Congress President Jitu Patwari led a protest march along with other Congress leaders against the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case. He says, "... PM Modi should apologise to the country and his Education Minister should resign..."

INDIA's ECONOMIC CRISIS The Iran War pulled away the lid from a simmering economic crisis in India, forcing the PM to accept the crisis, though blaming it entirely on the Iran war's aftermath, which is wrong. From 'sab changa si' to 'crisis of the decade'. So, what crisis was simmering since 2016? 1) Demonetisation 2016 killed a large per cent of MSMEs that employed millions 2) Hasty patchy GST rollout 2017 destroyed MSMEs even more, concentrating power in large enterprises 3) Corporate tax cuts 2019 added massive profits to large enterprise balance sheets, and they didn't invest more, but discharged debts and bought back shares 4) Covid 2020-21 birthed a huge K-shape recovery in Indian economy and society, widening the haves vs. have-nots gap to colonial levels 5) Lack of employment intensive manufacturing 2014-2026 (but pushing subsidy and capital-intensive PLIS) didn't generate the crores of formal jobs desperately needed 6) India failed to build its AI play completely (2015-2026), with large IT firms focused on comfortable Dhandho outsourcing instead, and now facing a massive restructuring due to AI 7) R&D by private sector remained pathetically low, leading to poor innovation and productization 8) Imports from China rose and rose, leading to a $100 billion merchandise trade deficit annually 9) Foreign investors slowly lost interest in the Indian Story, pulling out their FPI moneys and not bringing in FDI money (thereby now created a BoP crisis) (the arrogance of FM didn't help at all) 10) Real wages did not grow across sectors to match the real lived inflation reality, leading to many social pressures on quality of life. 11) India's own crude oil production dropped significantly from 2015-2025, and import dependence kept rising steadily. The Iran War blew the lid off of this simmering basket of troubles. Blaming everything on the 70-day old war won't be technically or morally or factually sound at all. Time to make amends on a war footing, instead of speaking vaguely and spreading more concern back home.

धर्मेंद्र प्रधान जी ने 22 लाख NEET बच्चों के साथ धोखा किया है। साथ ही, संसद का भी अपमान किया है - संसदीय समिति की रिपोर्ट को सिर्फ़ इसलिए ख़ारिज कर दिया क्योंकि उसमें विपक्ष के सांसद हैं। जो संसद पर ही भरोसा नहीं करते, वो NEET सुधार पर क्या भरोसा करेंगे? प्रधान जी को अभी हटाइए।

no accountability, no resignation. Jo ujit he woh karo!

Bengaluru: BSWML has launched 'DClutter' mobile app for doorstep collection of bulky waste such as old furniture, mattresses, cupboards, sanitary fittings & discarded clothes in Bengaluru. Such waste was often dumped on roadsides as it was not covered under regular collection. During a pilot drive, BSWML collected nearly 6,000 tonnes of bulky waste. Citizens can use the Android & iOS app to register, select items & schedule pickups for scientific recycling & disposal @BSWML_GBA
