The mood in and around Kolkata shifted decisively in favour of BJP once Ratna Debnath was declared the candidate from Panihati. Have been telling people (friends on X will be able to confirm this) that her candidacy has had an insane effect on 40+ women voters. It seems I majorly underestimated the impact it had on the 18+ women voter too. Her candidacy was the final nail in the coffin for TMC.

Everyone’s celebrating DMK’s humiliating defeat, but how have you all forgotten Saravanan’s eerie ghost-like laugh from that debate? That haunting moment still echoes louder than the results! 👻😂 #DMKDemolished #TNElections @Shehzad_Ind 🫡😂😂🤣

Section of our GenZ have seen the ruthless and violent Politics of Mamata Banerjee.... What they have not seen is her behaviour and politics in Parliament, especially during the late 90s and early 2000s. This speech of Sushma Ji will give u some idea. Watch!

This is where Bjp won West Bengal. A mother fight for justice 🔥

Turning point for Bengal Election - There was a day during the RG Kar protests when people tried to march across Howrah Bridge towards Nabanna and the state responded with barricades, tear gas, and water cannons. And then one old man stood there. No shield. No fear. Just defiance. The water slammed into him with full force, but he didn’t move an inch. Instead, he raised his hand and mocked the very system trying to crush him questioning their courage in the most humiliating way possible…. That image burned into the minds of Bengal’s youth. That was the day many realized enough is enough….. I don’t know his name. But that old man did more in a few seconds than most leaders do in years. That wasn’t just a protester standing tall. That was the moment fear lost and Bengal began to change….. #WestBengal #ElectionResults

Nupur J Sharma’s Brutal Reaction to Bengal Results as TMC Faces 'Defeat' "Mamata Banerjee and her nephew, Abhishek, do not deserve refuge in this state. They should be driven out of Bengal and forced to flee their homes, just as they forced us to flee ours. Let them face the very fate they inflicted upon us." Watch @UnSubtleDesi speaking to Arnab Goswami on Republic TV, discussing the defeat of the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC in Bengal. Nupur J Sharma recounts how she and her family were hunted by the administration's goons simply because she had the courage to speak out against their tyranny. This is her story of the horrors she endured in West Bengal. She narrates the plight of those Hindus, who were victims of violence, displacement, and systemic abuse under a government that was supposed to protect them.

One Of The Greatest Result In The History Of Indian Politics. #BJP 💎

Follow your own "Biological clock" Must watch for everyone!👇

Congratulations @SirurS!

At Andheri station, a woman asked me for money saying her cash was stolen and she needed a ticket. But I noticed the same story being repeated to multiple people. Sharing this only for awareness, It’s not about ₹10–₹20, small or big amount — it’s about misleading people who are working hard in this heat to earn for their families. Just a reminder to stay alert. Not every story you hear is what it seems. Respect to everyone working hard — protect your hard-earned money 🙏

Every morning while the city is still waking up, Komal Gaikwad is already on the roads of Kalyan. After being left to raise her daughter alone, she didn't give up. She built a tiny seat right next to her driver’s perch so her 3-year-old, Teju, never has to be away from her.  In a world where many surrender to minor inconveniences, this 25-year-old mother is quietly rewriting the meaning of resilience.

There's a small Tier-2 town near Mumbai called Silvasa. My colleague's parents live there in a decent 2BHK (owned). Their monthly spend is just ₹15,000 to ₹20,000. Accounting for all inflation, the couple doesn't need more than ₹1.5 crores to ₹2 crores to retire today. Don't feel intimidated by these numbers. It's alright if you can't retire in Mumbai. There are 100 more towns than Mumbai that offer living at a way lower cost. Kaam karo. Upskill karte raho. Theek thaak disciplined investing karo. Zindagi jiyo. Aur khush raho!

This isn’t just a viral video. It’s a life-saving lesson. Every family should know the 10-minute heart attack rule.🤔👍

🇮🇳 A man in India dug up his deceased sister's skeleton and brought it to the bank just to prove she had died. He'd been trying to withdraw money from her account for months. Staff kept telling him the account holder needed to appear in person. He's illiterate and had no idea a death certificate existed. The bank got what it asked for. Source: Times of India

Her name is Malavika Hegde. In July 2019, her husband VG Siddhartha walked onto a bridge near Mangalore and told his driver he would be back shortly. He never came back. Siddhartha had built Cafe Coffee Day into India’s largest coffee chain. 1700 cafes. 25000 employees. He had also buried the company under Rs 7214 crore of debt. The board panicked. Analysts wrote CCD off. Nobody had accounted for Malavika. She was an engineer. A mother of two. She had never run a company in her life. Her father SM Krishna was a former Chief Minister of Karnataka. She could have lived in that shadow comfortably. She chose the debt instead. In December 2020, she took over as CEO. In the middle of a pandemic. Her first act was a personal letter to all 25000 employees. She wrote the CCD story is worth preserving. I will fight for this brand. Then she got to work. She called every lender personally and renegotiated terms. She sold Global Village Tech Park to Blackstone. She closed every loss making outlet. She exported premium Arabica beans from her own 20000 acre farm to international markets to generate fresh revenue. She never raised the price of a single cup of coffee. By 2021, the debt was down to Rs 1731 crore. By 2023, it was Rs 465 crore. A 93 percent reduction in four years. Today, CCD runs 423 cafes and 55733 vending machines across India. Netflix is developing a web series on her life. Business schools are teaching her turnaround as a case study. She had no playbook. She had no mentor. She had grief and 25000 people depending on her. That was enough. Follow for real stories India never makes headlines about.
