@nallaganesh @livemint Because there might be repolling required in some places either due to technical issues or on-ground disturbance etc. If the counting starts before repolling, then the outcome would be influenced.

@livemint Why can't vote counting start 24 hours after the last vote has been cast? The Counting could have started at 9:00 tonight.

🚨 Pradeep Gupta, veteran psephologist, said that most of the voters in West Bengal refused to speak up after casting their votes. "See, the method of Axis My India is talking to people face to face. And when we tried to talk after the first phase, about 60-70 per cent of the people had their lips sealed. They were not even ready to say yes or no." @jeelanikash ✍️ livemint.com/elections/prad… #ElectionsWithMint | #Elections2026 #BengalElections #WestBengalSIR #WestBengalLegislativeAssemblyelection2026

@ari_maj @EconomicTimes @anu1122 Not really privatization, just develop, operate, transfer after 30 yrs. after 30 years the govt will either ask for new bids or grant extension under new terms. Meanwhile, the govt will always fully own all the airports.

In @EconomicTimes ➡️Talks to cap number of airports that can be awarded to a single bidder gathers pace among policymakers to curb monopoly monopoly ➡️ Adani group swept the last bidding round winning all 6 airports Reporting with @anu1122 #aviation

Without this global town square for free speech, a lot of important things never would’ve seen daylight. Real-time information governments tried to bury. Scientific debate that was actively censored. Voices that would’ve stayed silenced forever. Respect to @elonmusk for being the man in the arena when it actually counted. 🫡🙏

@Trinhnomics This is a no-brainer. The Fed will pick the inflation fight over the unemployment fight.

Well, if you zoom out, then what we see is that job gains are SLOWING in the US. And labor market data is lagging. The ISM, both manufacturing and services, both point to slowing activity. Meanwhile, we have CPI coming out in May - markets expect 2.5%YoY from 2.3% in April. So what? What will le Fed do?

Good morning Hong Kong, Happy to be back in Asia. Paris was great for many reasons - but mostly because the vibe in Europe is much better as people feel more empowered by change that allows people to zoom out from usual distress over political stalemate, even if challenging. What do I tell clients? Well, the same as I usually do. When you look at data, don't get fixated on a point in a series. Non-farm payroll/jobs data is an example. Markets get so fixated on what the expectations are & whether results are a beat or not. But what we should look at is a trend over time. Revisions happen. Downward revisions or upward. Seasonality happens (strikes/weather/etc). But what does the trend tell you & what does that mean for policy reaction function?

The Indian rupee went from being one of Asia’s most volatile currencies to among its most stable in the span of a decade. Here's why that matters to emerging-market investors trib.al/64UY4dw

@livemint What a garbage headline. It’s supposed to be “30 investment bankers”.

ICICI Bank Ltd is planning 30 new hires this year on the expectation that fundraising by companies will hit a record high this year and next. livemint.com/industry/banki…

@ShivAroor Poor man probably thought he was a govt official becoz he was wearing a suit and tie.

You said Canada has banned the RSS. Now you share a video of the National Council for Canadian Muslims calling for the RSS to be banned as if that’s the same thing. Quietly update your CV, there is still hope bro 😘

Congratulations Prime Minister @narendramodi on presiding over such a successful @g20org. India's message of 'one earth, one family, one future' resonated strongly with all delegates.

@mp_index We clearly need reservation to solve this issue 🤔

Why no grandmaster from big States like MP, UP, Bihar, Jharkhand ❓

Another BS from @bsindia and @ShekharGupta Key point it fails to recognize is that in the past foreign companies were not allowed to manufacture and preference was for only domestic cos, which is not the case now. business-standard.com/opinion/column…

Western media and companies have no qualms about pushing govts to ban Chinese companies like Huawei and Tiktok on grounds of natl sec. However, when India does the same, suddenly democracy is in danger.

Another junk reporting by @bsindia & TN Ninan regarding laptop import restrictions. The article equates the new import licenses to license-raj of three decades ago. However, it is not even close to same. Thread 🧵 business-standard.com/opinion/column…
