@MediaHarshVT Mr. Harsh Vardhan Tripathi let the younger people do the sycophancy.
Up there—in heaven or hell—it won’t be Bharatiya Janata Party waiting for you. In the end, everyone has to answer for their deeds.

@akhileshsharma1 At this age, you should start a YouTube channel. Let the younger people do the sycophancy.
Up there—in heaven or hell—it won’t be Bharatiya Janata Party or NDTV. There , everyone has to answer for their deeds.

Joy Maa Kali!
With folded hands, I bow to Maa Kali as I take leave of the "City of Joy" after more than six intense months of relentless work; & learning on the ground in Bengal.
In her divine presence, I seek strength, clarity, and blessings — for our nation.
May Maa guide us on the path of truth, justice, and progress. May her शक्ति lead Bengal towards a brighter, righteous; & just future. 🙏

India’s opposition should seriously consider boycotting elections until the playing field becomes genuinely fair.
When agencies raid rivals before polls, opposition leaders are jailed during campaigns, media space is overwhelmingly tilted, electoral bonds hid funding advantages, and institutions face constant questions — democracy becomes one-sided competition, not a level contest.
You can’t keep legitimising an unfair game by just participating in it. First restore neutrality of institutions, transparency in funding, equal media access, and free campaigning. Then ask people to vote.
Democracy needs competition, not coronation.

Ajay Pal Sharma, the encounter specialist and Singham of UP police, is deployed as police observer of South 24 Parganas. He just read the riot act to Bhaipo’s henchman Jehangir Khan’s family members. Nobody can stop this election from being the most free and fair election in 50 years and anyone who dares to act oversmart will be taught a lesson. #BhoyOutBhorshaIn

#WATCH | Mumbai: Shivsena (UBT) leaders hold a protest against Maharashtra Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha's proposed renaming of the KEM (King Edward Memorial) Hospital to Kaushalyashreshtha Ekalavya Memorial.

Historic majority” built through backdoor mergers, nominated support, and post-poll acquisitions is hardly the flex being advertised. Winning a direct public mandate and stitching numbers later are two very different things.
Rajya Sabha was designed as a Council of States, not a trophy room for engineering numbers. If after years in power a party still needs defections, nominated votes, and independents to claim “own strength,” that itself tells the real story.
Strong democracy is measured by trust and debate—not by how efficiently opposition benches are emptied.

राज्य सभा में बीजेपी अब ऐतिहासिक स्तर पर।
आप के सात सांसदों के विलय के बाद पार्टी के 113 सांसद।
अगर सात मनोनीत और दो निर्दलीयों (दिलीप रे और कार्तिकेय शर्मा) को मिला लिया जाए तो बीजेपी बिना सहयोगी दलों के ही बहुमत के आँकड़े - 123 - से केवल एक दूर।
इससे पहले आखिरी बार 1988 में कांग्रेस को राज्यसभा में अकेले अपने दम पर बहुमत था।
यानी पिछले चालीस साल में कोई भी दल अपने बूते राज्य सभा में बहुमत के नज़दीक नहीं पहुँचा।
अब बीजेपी धीरे-धीरे वहाँ तक पहुँच रही है।

If discipline and “non-abusive language” were the real criteria, then why were they elected on an Aam Aadmi Party ticket in the first place? Voters chose them under one mandate, not as transferable assets for later political convenience.
Calling defections “nation building” insults democracy. Real nation building means respecting public mandate, ideology, and accountability—not celebrating opportunistic migrations for power. #RajyaSabha #Democracy

Honb'le Chairman Rajya Sabha Shri C.P. Radhakrishnan Ji has accepted the merger of 7 AAP MPs with BJP. Now, Raghav Chadha ji, Sandeep Pathak ji, Ashok Mittal ji, Harbhajan Singh ji, Swati Maliwal ji, Rajinder Gupta ji & Vikramjit Singh Sahney ji are Members of BJP Parliamentary Party. For a long time I've observed that these 7 Honb'le MPs have not resorted to abusive languages and never created any indiscipline and Un-Parliamentary conducts.
Welcome to nation building NDA under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister @narendramodi ji and good bye to Tukde-Tukde INDI Alliance.

When a citizen begins to feel that merely participating in a legal process serves no meaningful purpose, it reflects a deeper crisis of trust—not just in one courtroom, but in institutions overall.
Choosing non-participation through Gandhian Satyagraha is not contempt; it is a symbolic protest rooted in conscience. India’s freedom movement itself showed that peaceful dissent can be a moral mirror to power.
History reminds us: from Mahatma Gandhi walking out of unjust systems, to Jayaprakash Narayan challenging state excesses, democratic correction often begins with one voice refusing silent compliance.
Respect for the judiciary and criticism of a process can coexist. Institutions grow stronger when they inspire confidence, not fear.
Disclaimer: I have never been a fan of Aam Aadmi Party style politics, but principles matter more than preferences. If someone feels justice is not being seen to be done, peaceful dissent in Gandhian spirit is a democratic right.

What Arvind Kejriwal is effectively arguing is startling: If the judge is not acceptable to me, I will not participate.
A litigant cannot reserve for himself the right to choose the Bench, question integrity without proof, and then walk away when the court rejects those claims.
This reduces the justice system to a spectacle, where allegations are made freely, institutions are pressured publicly, and accountability is treated as optional.
The judiciary must draw a firm line. Not for one politician but to make it clear that courts cannot be browbeaten, selectively respected, or treated like forums of convenience.

In all humility and with complete respect for judiciary, I have written the following letter to Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma, informing her that pursuing Gandhian principles of Satyagraha, it won’t be possible for me to pursue this case in her court, either in person or through a counsel. I have taken this difficult decision after coming to the clear conclusion that the proceedings being conducted in her court do not, in any manner, satisfy the fundamental principle that ‘justice must not only be done but must also be seen to be done’. My participation in these proceedings, either myself or through a counsel will not achieve anything meaningful.
