Hydropower is often touted as a clean energy source ⚡, but building dams in unsupportive regions threatens lives and livelihoods. We need to rethink our approach & harmonise safety & sustainability in energy demands. 💡🛑 #OneYearofTeesta3Collapse 1/n

Today marks one year since Chungthang dam collapsed due to the South Lhonak glacial Lake outburst. The devastation, exacerbated by the dam, continues to haunt Sikkim region as infra projects continue unabated alongwith rising temperatures. 🌍💧#ChungthangdisasterAnniversary 1/n

A dozen reasons to irk those in power. A dozen reasons to be proud. 🧵

Nicobar (8,000 sq km) plans a mega-project: port, airport, city, power plant. But, the ecological, geological, economic & legal concerns along with the impact on indigenous people, needs careful review says @pankajsekh #TheGreatNicobarBetrayal 1/n

Mody Antoinette! “Toh kya sabke sab gareeb honey chaahie?” This was PM’s response when asked why are rich getting richer and poor getting poorer in his rule. #EndTheBillionaireRaj

More than 40% of India survives in less than 298 rupees a day. While the number of billionaires surges. #EndTheBillionaireRaj #LokSabhaElections2024

Under Modi,corporate tax rates were slashed from 30% to 22% in 2019, leading to a revenue loss of Rs 1.84 lakh crore in two years.This amount exceeds the budgets of both MGNREGA and NFSA combined in 2020-21. #EndTheBillionaireRaj #LokSabhaElections2024

For ten yeaes we have suffered a fascist government whose sole achievement has been the billionaires wealth growing multifold. We've witnessed no "trickle down", no "wealth creation", "no jobs" -- all neoliberalism's favorite fig leaves. Vote out BJP. #EndTheBillionaireRaj

Employment in manufacturing dropped from 12.8% in 2012 to 11.5% in 2018, far below Bangladesh's 16%. It's taken until 2022 to recover to 2012 levels. A lost decade for youth while Adani’s wealth increased by 1225% in 10 years. #EndTheBillionaireRaj #LokSabhaElections2024

In 2023, 46% of India's workforce is under-employed in agriculture, contributing only 15% of GDP. The FM's claims of skill utilisation seem wishful. He seems to be "skilled" only in enriching his corporate friends. #EndTheBillionaireRaj #LokSabhaElections2024

Write offs, hair cuts and tax breaks for the super rich and austerity for the poor. We must end this forthwith. #EndTheBillionaireRaj #LokSabhaElections2024
