See this- these guys piled Indian National debt from 53L crore in 2014 to 230L crore today(approx) None of you paid attention to this, none. Now we have two (or 3) pronged problem- oil prices sky high & no access to ruski cheap oil. So we have to print more INR now to buy

While Nitin Gadkari is encouraging the public to shift towards electric vehicles, we see Chief Ministers driving V8-powered G-Wagons G63 AMG Bi turbo that barely give 3 kmpl! There’s even an electric version of the G-Wagon available, yet the choice is still a high-powered petrol V8 engine. Why this contradiction, Gadkari ji? After all, charity begins at home! ☺️

Now that ISRO is going the BSNL way, won't be surprised if we hear the launch of Adani Space in coming years 😹

While India’s PM stayed away from the PMO for the entire month of April to rally for his party, to eat jhalmuri, to play football, toh wear fancy clothes, India faces innumerable social and economic issues and ppl have been left to fend for themselves. Energy and Fuel Crisis: India faced major disruptions to its oil and natural gas (LNG) supplies, with Brent crude surging above USD 98. This led to cooking gas (LPG) shortages, with prices reportedly rising steeply in the black market and prompting long queues at distribution centers. Industrial Shutdowns: The fuel shortage impacted industrial hubs, most notably in Morbi, Gujarat, where hundreds of thousands of workers lost jobs as ceramic factories suspended production for weeks. Economic Strain: The energy shock increased inflationary pressures, as food prices rose and logistics costs increased. Heatwave and Power Grid Strain: Intense, early heatwaves in April 2026 pushed the national power grid to its limits, with demand hitting a record 256 GW. Migration and Labor Issues: The economic impact in cities led to a reverse migration of workers, with reports of migrant workers leaving major hubs like Mumbai due to rising costs and shortages. Geopolitical Challenges: India faced criticism for its neutral stance during the Iran-US conflict. Wonder at what point should the common people stand-up and ask the right questions to its government?

India is not just blending ethanol with petrol, it is blending away water and food security. Data is alarming: 1 litre rice-based ethanol = ~10,790 litres of water Rice needed for 1 litre ethanol = 2.5–3 kg FCI rice diverted for ethanol in 2024–25 = 52 lakh tonnes This can produce nearly 245 crore litres of ethanol. Now the next shocker: Centre is reportedly planning to cut broken rice in PDS from 25% to 10% to free up rice for ethanol feedstock. So rice meant for the poor is being reduced, while rice for fuel is being increased. Green fuel cannot be built by draining India’s groundwater and shrinking the poor man’s plate. ————————-//////———————- 10,000 litres water for one litre of ethanol: India fuel push to worsen water crisis - India Today indiatoday.in/science/story/…

In case you missed it: How the government made corals disappear off the Great Nicobar coast True Story episode with @_Vaishnavi_R WATCH: youtube.com/watch?v=I4GPep…

Rahul Gandhi wasn’t on a holiday. He was in Andaman to OPPOSE Adani’s ₹81,000 crore Great Nicobar project; one that would bulldoze 130 sq km of rainforest, destroy wildlife sanctuaries, and displace indigenous tribes. Now let’s talk about this “development” you’re so proud of: 👇 The Ganga Expressway breakdown: → 464 km out of 594 km (78%) was contracted to Adani Enterprises → Deal worth: ₹17,085 crore; India’s largest-ever expressway contract to a private firm → Adani earns TOLL from your pocket for the next 30 YEARS (DBFOT concession) The full cycle: 📌 Foundation stone → Modi 📌 Contract → Adani 📌 Inauguration ribbon → Modi 📌 30 years of toll revenue → Adani One man raises alarm against Adani destroying a UNESCO biosphere. The other cuts a ribbon on Adani’s ₹17,000 crore revenue stream and calls it vikas. Who’s actually working for the country, and who’s working for one billionaire?

NITI Aayog has warned that by 2030, groundwater in 21 cities, including Delhi, Bengaluru, and Chennai, could reach zero. And clowns want E20. 1L Ethanol requires 10,000 L water. If you fill E20 petrol worth 550 RS, then you are using up 10,000 L of water! How will we survive?

To Understand #TheGreatNicobarProject, watch Kunal Kamra's 22-minute video, "GoodBye Nicobar." The Great Nicobar Project will destroy not just 850,000 trees, but approximately 10 million. The government's sole aim is to benefit Adani.

A few days ago in Parliament, Modi was taking credit for India’s energy security amid the West Asia crisis. Here’s the truth buried in Parliament’s own records: Every underground cavern protecting India right now; Visakhapatnam, Mangalore, Padur; was planned, approved and built under UPA-Congress in 2012. Modi’s contribution in 12 years? Capacity: 5.33 MMT → 5.33 MMT. Phase 2 (6.5 MMT), “approved” in 2021; land still unacquired in 2026. China added reserves every single year. Japan (97% importer) maintains 140 days of cover. This government maintained photo albums. India is surviving the energy crisis on Congress’s infrastructure, the Navy’s bravery, and Iran’s mercy. Nothing this regime built in 12 years stands between you and a blackout. That’s not a failure of policy. That’s a betrayal of the nation.

This will blow your mind 🤯 Tribals in Madhya Pradesh are holding unique ‘Chitra Protest’ against BJP Govt for stealing their homes & forests They are covering themselves in mud, holding hunger strike & acting like dead bodies for past 11 days Their only demands — Land in return of land & proper rehabilitation They have been living on the same land for 2000 years and suddenly they lost all rights? Really?

Tells you how prepared the Modi govt was, knowing fully well how much import dependent India is for energy. The focus is on PR rather than preparation, on Goebbelsin stuff instead of governance.

The market isn't killing Indian traders. The system is. And the numbers prove it. 🧵 India once dominated global derivatives trading. In Q1 2024, NSE alone accounted for 84% of all equity options traded globally. Monthly F&O turnover had hit a staggering ₹8,740 lakh crore. We weren't just a market. We were the market. Then the dismantling began.⬇️ Here's everything they did — in order:

FLIGHT RISK | Now Nitin Gadkari and Narendra Modi are playing with real fire, driven by ignorance and greed. Let’s understand why this is dangerous. Ethanol has an energy density of about 26.8 MJ/kg, whereas Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) is around 43.2 MJ/kg. During take-off, an aircraft engine needs maximum thrust and energy output. If a fully loaded aircraft does not get enough thrust, the consequences can be catastrophic, like the Air India Express Flight 1344 crash. An aircraft running on ethanol blends would need a much higher volume of fuel to achieve the same range. This directly reduces payload capacity and overall efficiency. Ethanol is hygroscopic, means it absorbs moisture from the air. At cruising altitudes, where temperatures can fall below -50°C, this moisture can freeze into ice crystals. These can clog fuel lines and filters and potentially cause engine failure mid-air. Aircraft fuel systems are built for hydrocarbons and use specialised seals and materials. Ethanol, being a solvent, can degrade these components, leading to leaks or debris entering precision engine systems. If they are serious about testing this, let them first use it on Modi’s 8400 Cr aircrafts or Gadkari’s private jet for a couple of years, prove it is safe, and only then consider introducing it to the public. This is not experimentation we can afford. If such reckless decisions go unchecked, the safety of air travel itself will be at risk.

@championswimmer There is no way to decipher anything from this SMS but you know when you read this that somehow somewhere you are deeply fucked

@ved_a Wtf is pmvbry now. 🤣

EPFO Claim Rejected for reason "YOU ARE PENSION MEMBER BUT YOUR PENSION CONTRIBUTION NOT RECEIVED HENCE NOT ELIGIBLE" What does that even mean?

@mohamed @NousResearch Have you got a way to run this locally on LLM.cpp

This tip was dead on. On my Apple Silicon, switching my @NousResearch Hermes Agent from qwen3.6:35b-a3b to qwen3.6:35b-a3b-mxfp8 cut runtime from 21.6s to 12.7s and increased generation speed from 29.6 to 50.3 tok/s (~1.7x faster).
