Relatable! In India, environmentalists who question the govt. and its crony capitalists are labelled, Urban Naxals. And even more tragically, journalists are being killed. For reporting on sand. On soil. On trees! rsf.org/en/almost-half…

I’m actually surprised that it took him so long to say it. Branding environmentalists as terrorists has very apparently been part of the plan all along.

The GDP per capita of Tamil Nadu is similar to that of Vietnam, and the GDP per capita of Bihar is similar to that of Sudan. Just imagine a situation where Sudanese politicians take money from Vietnam and politically control it, which is indeed unsustainable.

8.2 LAKH CRORE. Yes, read that again. ₹8.2 LAKH CRORE to be borrowed when crude oil has barely touched $100. Now remember The same people who are struggling today were mocking Manmohan Singh back then, when he was navigating far worse conditions with Crude at $120 - $140. And yet, he held the economy steady without any noise, chest thumping or PR spectacle He navigated the 2008 global crisis. He handled the oil super cycle. He managed the taper tantrum. And most importantly, he did it without making ordinary Indians feel the shock. Because his focus was simple. Stability. Clarity. Foresight. He governed to protect people, not to perform for headlines. Fast forward to today. Lower crude prices. More resources. More control. And still, RECORD BORROWING. Visible stress. No clear direction. The same people who mocked him are now struggling to manage far easier conditions. That is the difference. One governed with depth & responsibility. The other survives on optics. History has a way of correcting narratives. And when it does, it will remember this clearly. History will indeed be kinder to Dr Manmohan Singh 🙏

₹62,660 crore budgeted for India’s school children. ₹30,363 crore left unspent; by mid-February. Then quietly slashed ₹8,004 crore from the revised estimate. Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan; the backbone of 26 crore kids’ education; used barely 54.9% of its funds. PM-POSHAN; the mid-day meal keeping millions from hunger; same story. Every. Single. Year. Blame? Tamil Nadu, Kerala, West Bengal; the states that dared to vote differently. This same “concern” was flagged by a Parliamentary panel in 2022. Then in 2025. Now 2026. The PM announces “highest-ever education budget” at press conferences. The Ministry can’t even spend what’s already sanctioned. Central Vista? ₹20,000 crore. Zero utilisation problem. Children’s classrooms? Half the money sits frozen. This isn’t inefficiency. This is exactly what a government looks like when its real priorities aren’t children.

This week, I had the privilege of accompanying a delegation of 15 transgender activists from across India, which met @RahulGandhi & @priyankagandhi to assert our opposition to the BJP's Transgender Amendment Bill. At the meeting, Mr. Gandhi assured us of @INCIndia's full support. Also present at the meeting were @jothims & Gowaal Padavi, MPs who argued our case in Parliament. I am grateful to @_SandeepDikshit, Chairman of the Rachnatmak Congress, who organized the interaction & @pravchak, Chairman @ProfCong for his constant support for justice for the LGBTQIA+ community.

The BJP government’s Transgender Persons Amendment Bill is a brazen attack on the Constitutional rights and identity of transgender people. This regressive bill: - strips transgender people of their ability to self identify, violating a Supreme Court judgement - ⁠wipes out the diverse cultural identities of communities across India - ⁠forces trans people to undergo dehumanizing examinations by a medical board - ⁠introduces criminal penalties and surveillance without safeguards The BJP government hasn’t consulted the trans community and brought a bill which stigmatises rather than protects them. The Constitution protects every Indian’s right to life, liberty, identity, and dignity. This BJP government is violating our Constitution and destroying India’s rich history of honouring transgender communities in pursuit of its narrow ideas. The Congress Party unequivocally opposes this Bill.

Chief Minister HImanta Biswas Sarma's wife Ms Rinki Bhuyan Sarma is well known for some of her businesses in Assam, particularly her media house. Here is the network of some of the companies related to her by directors to one degree separation. For any journalist wanting to do some more reporting. This is public data, disclosed by the companies/entities.

Reetam Singh@SinghReetam

In his election affidavit @himantabiswa did not declare the financial details of his son Nandil Biswa Sarma and daughter Sukanya Sarma, who both are "dependents" as per Election Affidavit definition Himanta's son has a Company DIN 09010015 and is Director of Pride East along with wife Riniki Bhuyan Sarma whose details he declared in his Affidavit. His son is also Designated Partner in Ekaa Estates LLP Through these entities, it is claimed that multiple companies are owned or run by the Sarma family. But hiding such information from Election Affidavit should be considered as material defect and his nomination is ought to be cancelled by @ECISVEEP

Chief Electoral Officer Kerala@Ceokerala

OFFICIAL CLARIFICATION: REGARDING THE ERRONEOUS CIRCULATION OF ELECTION COMMISSION DOCUMENT ​ It has come to our notice that a letter from the Election Commission, bearing the seal of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is being circulated across various Malayalam news channels. The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) hereby clarifies that this was purely a clerical error, which was identified and rectified immediately. ​The BJP Kerala Unit had recently approached the CEO’s office seeking clarification on the 2019 guidelines regarding the publication of criminal antecedents of candidates. Along with their request, the party submitted a photocopy of the original 2019 directive. The party's seal was present on that specific copy provided by them. ​Due to an oversight, the office failed to notice the party symbol on the submitted document and inadvertently redistributed it to other political parties as part of the requested clarification. The guidelines in question have undergone revisions since 2019, which have already been communicated to all political entities. ​The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer acknowledged the lapse as soon as it was detected. Consequently.On March 21, the Deputy Chief Electoral Officer issued a formal letter withdrawing the erroneous document.​The withdrawal notice was dispatched to all political parties, District Election Officers, and Returning Officers. ​The public and media are requested to refrain from spreading misleading messages based on this clerical error. The Election Commission maintains a rigorous and foolproof system to ensure that the electoral process remains free from any external interference or influence.

Q: Why did Jagdeep Dhankar resign as @VPIndia? A: Because, when he began making his "political moves against @narendramodi govt", ED confronted him with a file of the overseas transfer of proceeds from the sale of his Jaipur home? @timesofindia @priyankakTOI

We're incredibly excited to share ScienceClaw × Infinite, an open-source AI agent swarm platform where we crowdsource discovery across institutions, labs & the world. The agents self-coordinate and evolve to exploit hundreds of scientific tools. Remarkably, the swarm is already solving real scientific problems of consequence: 1⃣ designing peptide binders for a cancer-relevant receptor 2⃣ discovering lightweight ceramics 3⃣ uncovering hidden structure linking cricket wings, phononic crystals, and Bach chorales 4⃣ building a formal bridge between urban networks & grain-boundary evolution (two fields with zero Deeply proud of the extraordinary @LAMM_MIT team behind this work: @fwang108_, @leemmarom, @palsubhadeeep, Rachel Luu, @IrisWeiLu, and @JaimeBerkovich. This works is supported by the @ENERGY Genesis Mission and we believe this can open a new paradigm for science - from discovery to dissemination of results. Read the article below for details ⤵️
