@karmanomad Comparing the Nicobar ecosystem to a bunch of trees is like calling Taj Mahal a cluster of rooms.

This is the rationale for #GreatNicobar??

@karmanomad @shrua_sharma I think thousands of paid trolls are tasked with flooding social media with 3-4 talking points. You have Rs 2 trolls, trolls with blue ticks&premier trolls comprising ex-army officers and other influencers. Twitter, if it were serious, should have weeded them out a long time ago.

@shrua_sharma Brainless mob. Only know how to throw mud and abuse.

According to its hyper nationalist troll ecosystem, anyone who critiques or questions #India's #GreatNicobar project is an anti-development Chinese agent. Astonishingly aggressive w total disregard for rational discussion.

@karmanomad Most of these are paid trolls. Interestingly, India's trade deficit with China has exploded in the last 10 years, which has greatly benefited China. China also moved into Doklam (when Xi&Modi were having tea in Ahmedabad) and has occupied the areas, yet these don't find a mention

@OwO1234V @Starboy2079 Mil gaye Rs 2? Khush?

@nvedwan @Starboy2079 You're paid 😜

As of today, 30 April 2026, not a single Nicobar project has been awarded to Adani. Congress also knows this. But still, using lies to stop the project Forget BJP or Congress for a moment and think: Why the hell Congress is so desperate to stop this project? It looks like there is huge pressure on Rahul Gandhi from China and the Deep State to stop this project at any cost.

@bykarthikreddy Please ensure clean toilets. All else is optional.

PM Modi Govt loves India so much that in everything it does, it ensures the local diversity is served well to the people. Train passing via Bengal, Bangla cuisine like Chaner Dalna, Suti Bhaja, if via Assam, Assam cuisine like Joha Rice, Mati Mohar Dali

@Pivot2Centre It's a biodiversity hotspot (not just some trees). Like saying Taj Mahal is just some rooms. There are hundreds of plant and animal species that are endemic to the area, not to mention highly endangered cultures.

Imagine trying to delay a transshipment port because trees will be cut. The whole Singapore economy is around a transshipment port. Don’t throw away the winning lottery ticket!

@sandeep_PT Municipal waste, and even worse, industrial waste in discharged directly into rivers and also seeps underground--a tiny fraction is treated. The world's most polluted place is Vapi in Gujarat: content.time.com/time/specials/…

Municipal waste is discharged straight into Indian rivers. This is Ganga, being fed sewage, 24x7. This is the story of 100% Indian rivers. And this is 2026. #NewIndia #ViksitBharat

@lucifer_damned I wonder if the BJP has multiple lists of "influencers" that are pressed into service when they are pushing a controversial policy change--at the bottom is the IT cell infantry, then these retd military officers (national security), and ultimately cricketers and Bollywood types.

Interesting how an army of “ex army” officers sprouts up to counter Rahul Gandhi every time. These “ex army officers” keep themselves conveniently locked away when it comes to the reality of Doklam or the territory captured by China or Trump bullying India. Products of RSS.

@JethmalaniM Ask those tribals--whom you clearly don't give a fig about--if they have just discovered "the environment." A biodiversity hotspot, home to hundreds of endemic species, is, to you, merely a nondescript environment. Thanks for flaunting your ignorance.

Great Nicobar is not just a development project. It is India's Pokhran at sea. But someone has suddenly discovered “the environment” exactly where India’s strategic spine needs strengthening most: Great Nicobar. Not on the countless collapses his own family presided over. Not when India bled opportunity for decades. And right at the point where Bharat is trying to build maritime muscle in the Indo-Pacific, enter Rahul Gandhi. Let us strip away the theatre. The Great Nicobar project is the government’s own plan for a major transshipment port at Galathea Bay, close to the international shipping lane, with deeper waters, phased capacity rising from 4 MTEUs to 16 MTEUs. Great Nicobar sits near one of the world’s busiest shipping routes. It strengthens India’s maritime reach. It reduces dependence on foreign transshipment hubs. And it places Indian capacity exactly where a rising China would prefer India to remain weak, absent and apologetic. It's called 'protecting sovereignty'. This time the 'attack' timing is too convenient and the target is too strategic. The 'Chinese Agents' in India want it slowed, weakened or stopped. The moment India tries to build something that changes its strategic position, resistance appears from the Gandhi dynansty. And once you understand that, the panic from "Chinese Agents" makes sense. Any project that moves India from dependence to leverage will create losers - foreign commercial interests, strategic rivals, and domestic political actors who instinctively oppose any major national-capacity project if it does not carry their family name on it. So when Rahul Gandhi suddenly discovers moral passion in Great Nicobar, people are entitled to ask what exactly is being opposed here. Is it really only a question of trees? Or is it, once again, resistance to India building hard power, strategic depth and state capacity in a place where geography itself has handed us an advantage? That is the larger truth. Great Nicobar is being fought so fiercely because it is not a routine infrastructure scheme. It is a statement that India intends to think like a serious maritime power. And just as there were efforts once to stop India from becoming a nuclear power, there are efforts now to keep India from fully becoming a sovereign power at sea. opindia.com/2026/04/great-…

@VarunKrRana Yeah, planting trees is the same as deforesting an area like Hasdeo — a pristine forest and a huge repository of biodiversity.

Since 2014, India’s forest area has grown by over 16,600 sq km. Additionally, over 2.5 billion saplings have been planted under the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign since its June 2024 launch. These two facts alone show how much the BJP 'hates' trees. 🤡

@PriaINC Has anybody heard of Doklam recently? Taken over by PLA, the Chinese have created vilages there are in full control of the area. India has accepted it as a fait accompli. So much for our defense posture.

This entire Andbhakt narrative of Great Nicobar Project is for India’s security is a joke. You can’t even buy oil without US permission. You don’t even utter the word China, what security are you talking about. Can you even lift a finger without China and USA permission ? #GreatNicobar

@SethLalits @_goyalvin @GoIShadow @RahulGandhi @lutey_harkey @AnumaVidisha @gurjeevwalia @CommonBS786OM @Shobi4567 @tablubablu @fredhamilton @radhacharandas @raghu_madgula If we had any sense, the entire area should be declared a conservation zone and accorded the highest level of protection from external interventions. Even tourism should be minimized and highly regulated to reduce its social and environmental impact.

@_goyalvin @GoIShadow @nvedwan @RahulGandhi @lutey_harkey @AnumaVidisha @gurjeevwalia @CommonBS786OM @Shobi4567 @tablubablu @fredhamilton @radhacharandas @raghu_madgula For the uneducated, only if they can understand the disastrous consequences and handing over the Great Nicobar. Once destroyed generations will suffer from the consequences. Profit at what cost?

The govt says the Great Nicobar project will cut 8.5 lakh trees. An ecologist estimates the number could be closer to 1 crore. It is also a nesting site for Hawksbill turtle - critically endangered. 1600 species with lot of endemic species of fauna How can anyone look at a beautiful forest 🌳 and think- let’s chop it all down and make some more money 💰

@himanshukr2841 Poor people, especially the tribals, have long borne the burden of so-called development (or national defense) while being systematically deprived of its fruits. How many of those living in South Delhi will sacrifice their homes for the national good?

There are many people in the comments defending the Great Nicobar project on the cost of the economy. Climate concern is the biggest concern, beyond it, will you be ready to get your society/village/bulldozed if the government ask for it for the economic developement. Will you give your house if the government stands at your door with the bulldozer? Whatever religion you belong to, will you let it happen if the government decides to bulldoze your religious site? That's what Nicobar forest is for those tribals. Government wouldn't have dared to even think of something like that if a temple or mosque was there. But there is a forest so no one cares.

@JahnaviIyer We have the worst of both worlds--neither convenience nor conscience; neither modernity nor tradition, bereft of kindness and compassion, finding escape in crass materialism, ostentatious consumption, and empty ritualism.

@YSaghal Look at the poor puppies😢

This CCTV footage from Ganga Shahar, Bikaner, Rajasthan shows a man mercilessly thr@shing a mother dog with a stick, while her helpless puppies watch. Such brutal violence is a crime under the PCA Act and cannot be ignored. Requesting an immediate FIR and strict action against the culprit. @Bikaner_Police @PoliceRajasthan @RajGovOfficial @IgpBikaner @PcrBikaner #Bikaner #AnimalCruelty #EndAnimalAbuse #JusticeForIndies #NoMore50 #RajasthanPolice

@Manik_M_Jolly and 1,800+ faunal species. Key species include the Nicobar megapode, crab-eating macaque, leatherback turtle, and saltwater crocodile. 2/2

@Manik_M_Jolly Yeah, cutting a few trees is the same as destroying a biodiversity hotspot with highly endangered cultures. "The Nicobar Islands constitute a biodiversity hotspot with dense tropical evergreen forests, unique ecosystems, and high endemism, hosting over 650 plant species" 1/2

It’s okay to cut trees when it’s your palace. It’s not okay when it’s for nation’s development and security. #RoyaltyIndeed
