@ANI Auto owners in Mumbai and suburb should actually have cooperative society of their own with app for registering new vehicle, trip & from margin funds collected should help members & family financially for education, health, marriage etc. This model will be cheap & efficient

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: On Bharat Taxi app, Union Minister Piyush Goyal says, "... I am very happy that our auto‑rickshaw and taxi drivers, who until now had to rely on foreign apps with heavy commissions and subscription charges, will now benefit from the government’s initiative. A new Bharat Taxi app has been introduced to provide affordable, authorised fares to the public while ensuring zero commission and no subscription fees for drivers. Through this app, drivers will also receive free insurance cover of Rs 5 lakh, and access to MUDRA loans to modernise or upgrade their vehicles, including shifting to electric vehicles to increase earnings..."

@GulteOfficial Atleast 100 plus should have special privileges of voting from home

MOMENT OF THE DAY: Ganesa Iyer, a former Bank employee who is 106 years old, stepped out to vote with his son and grandson in Pallavaram, Tamilnadu. #TNElections2026

@TVMohandasPai @ECISVEEP @AmitShah @PMOIndia Best solution is linking voter card to Aadhar and updating voting records in central server so that no second card be issued in other location unless Aadhar details changed which will auto cancel old card

Request @ECISVEEP to have a total clean up of Election rolls across India so that people do not vote in 2 places. Citizens should have one vote for assembly and Parkiament across India @AmitShah @PMOIndia

@ANI Does this mean for those who have booked tickets earlier for travel in May will get refund for the amount included in the ticket?

Embassy of France in India- "With effect from 10 April 2026, Indian nationals possessing an ordinary passport are no longer required to hold an airport transit visa when passing through the international zone of airports located on French territory. This measure applies to passengers remaining in the international zone during a layover at a French airport en route to a third country."

OTT webseries and movies are so much full of violence, vulgar scenes, dialogues...Is it good for the children who get opportunity to see this daily sitting at home on TV or in mobile?

@Vasudha156 Will be interesting to see performance of TVK and its impact on 2 major fronts

My takeaways on TN polls as I leave from Chennai. More in the coming days TN’s urban nature is in focus, cities driving politics, shaping voter mood and making inequality more visible, the real battleground this time While most experts break TN into North, West, Delta and South, the biggest and most decisive region is urban TN. 
Out of roughly 100 urban seats with over 1 lakh population, the DMK alliance holds 82, and nearly 70% of its strength comes from these areas, so defending urban TN is key to holding power. Candidates reaching deeper into families. Split in families visible. Party workers seen specifically appealing to younger members in households, even humouring kids in door to door campaigns. Welfare matters but doesn’t bind voters, people are grateful but want more and are willing to question and change govts 
AIADMK’s focus on strongholds looks smart, but it’s unclear if that alone can capture the full anti incumbency vote. Clever of EPS to spend the last week in Kongu to consolidate his seats. 
A sizeable segment of voters is not loyal to either DMK or AIADMK. Performance of parties like VCK and NTK will be specifically interesting to see if they are able to hold on to their voters. Safety and police behaviour matter to everyday voters. Whichever party comes, pls address the drug problem in youth. Almost every mother I met in Chennai spoke about it. Chennai region’s 35 seats will be a key test, DMK holds 32 while TVK has pushed hard in many of them. Trichy, which DMK swept last time, is another big test. TVK campaign went beyond speeches, reel style clips, music, robots, slow motion videos, visuals grabbing attention. Designed specifically for today’s society. And it’s not only youngsters who love reels. Money, liquor, biriyani flowed in roadshows and rallies. One could easily see what is a mobilised crowd and what is not. But crowds don’t always decided outcomes. DMK knows anti incumbency exists, so pushed an aggressive campaign around welfare, manifesto and M. K. Stalin’s image, making this the most crucial battle for the party.  If TN votes for change, it follows a familiar script; if DMK returns, it rewrites it but the X factor is Vijay, whose votes could decide whether this election simply turns the page or changes TN for good

@ndtv @PadmajaJoshi Every corner in Bengal and Bihar will have jhalmuri or maslamuri vendor, every train in that section will have a vendor, outside schools, colleges there will be one since my childhood days

Jhalmuri goes viral. Jhalmuri makers have their own unique take on PM’s snack stop in middle of West Bengal election campaign @padmajajoshi reports

@Akshita_N Hot and humid weather.... Good coverage... Exam preparation over now the exams and then the results

What a journey it’s been through Tamil Nadu, hectic and hot but loved every moment of it :) Thank you for all the feedback (good and bad!) back to the studio now!

@VishalBhargava5 @TVMohandasPai Think of those who commute every day through different modes from home-walk/share auto/train/walk or bus and reach office/destination/in time planning their starting time backward

If you want to show the worst of Mumbai, take them to Andheri. @TVMohandasPai is shocked. In Mumbai - Cost of Living vs Quality of Living is inversely correlated. In Andheri it is at it’s peak. A completely abandoned neighbourhood.

@sandipsabharwal From childhood have seen numerous local eyecare shops giving immediate service mostly technician cum owner. Till now have not seen any shop irrespective of size having frame or glass with box in MRP. Any combination of offers give ultimate landing price same per piece

The entire #Lenskart controversy is inconsequential Facts are that as equity investors we need to look at the business of the company and its potential Its a business with ZERO MOAT It carries low value products which cannot compete with most local opticians as well as chains like Titan Eyecare Eyecare business is not a sunrise business its growing at just 8-10% in India and as such growth due to just market share gains is not possible beyond a point Margins will be capped They are going offline and opening more and more stores which is ROE dilutive Net net its a hugely overvalued stock fundamentally. Fair value Rs 200

@rishrox19 This is actually more important than mere wealth creation. Widespread education by relationship manager, financial planners, insurance advisor required apart from just selling products for plotting all details in one place and sharing that with family members

Food for thought

@SwarajyaMag When I travel by train along the track, in remote place far from cities, I find lot of iron scrap lying, old coaches etc. Always think how these are accounted in books... Timely accounting and disposal will fetch good value

🚆 Indian Railways strengthens finances through scrap sales and non-fare revenue streams. 📍 Scrap disposal generated ₹6,813 crore in FY 2025–26, exceeding targets. 📊 Non-fare revenue rose to ₹777 crore, driven by ads and asset monetisation. 🛠️ Earnings are being reinvested to improve stations, services and passenger amenities. swarajyamag.com/news-brief/ind…

@Mohansinha In our school days we used to take text books from known students who have passed out from next standard. No compulsion was there. Now it is all a package.

I remember being told by the school where I took admission in the 5th that I could only buy my school uniform from one particular store on Pune’s MG Road. So many years later, my son was told he could only buy his uniform, shoes and books from the school store. Always wondered why the government never bothered to change such a stupid rule…

@rajtoday Best will be also to individual feedback for about a week after introduction through multiple questions through any app

Dummies Guide to the new Mumbai local train. Here's the non-AC door closing EMU suburban local train explained.

@RShivshankar Jhargram jhaal muri is famous for its taste. A never miss item during our journey to Kolkata from Jamshedpur

IN ELECTORAL POLITICS SOMETIMES CHEMISTRY MATTERS MORE THAN ARITHMETIC. PM Modi posts a video of his Jhalmuri pit stop on the campaign trail.

@Iamsamirarora Instead of always thinking of cutting jobs, why can't we come with standard formula of 1 employee per some count for different sectors like banking, hotel, hospital & maintain that for quality service? Are we having that...

I often hear this argument: AI will not be able to do everything, we will still need humans to supervise, monitor etc Obviously we will still need people- question is how many fewer people will be needed to do the same job.

@Vasudha156 Before election we always see door to door campaigning but after winning no one comes door to door

TVK Chief Vijay’s door to door campaign.

@rahulkanwal Good graphics...are all these countries having any Bills?

@ShamikaRavi high women turnout over years has been by choice & not law. Just like all women fleet in airlines, railway etc,can we try with something similar here also to start with

High turnout among women voters is a sign of democratic vitality, but true empowerment requires a seat at the decision-making table.
