The remarks by SC judge that if you can’t vote this time, you vote next time is shocking behind words. It’s like Marie Antoinette saying that if you can’t have bread, eat cakes. — Former CEC SY Qureshi in conversation with SC senior advocate Kapil Sibal

27 lakh voters in West Bengal are put under “logical discrepancy” who will not be able to vote. Out of these, appellate tribunal heard only 138 and out of which 136 were found genuine voters. Imagine this percentage and think home many real voters are not allowed to vote.

Kind attn: @girishdmahajan. please publicly declare an unconditional apology instead of excuses. For, you are supposed to do this only at Azad Maidan. You have infringed upon the right of way of citizens.The politics of privilege, must go. @Dev_Fadnavis @SunetraA_Pawar @bjpmaha

His name was Satish Shetty. He was 39 years old. A social activist from Pune with no political connections and no institutional backing. Just an RTI form and the will to use it. Between 2005 and 2010 he exposed one of the largest land grab scams in Maharashtra. A real estate company had acquired land near the Pune-Mumbai highway using forged sale deeds. After his complaints forced an investigation, 90 sale deeds were cancelled, the sub-registrar who processed the fraudulent documents was suspended and a major real estate project was scrapped. The threat calls started. He did not stop. On the morning of January 13 2010 he went for his regular walk in Talegaon. He was stabbed to death on the road. He was 39 years old. His brother Sandeep refused to let it end there. Local police closed the case. He went to CBI. CBI went quiet. He went to Bombay High Court. He went to the Supreme Court. In 2023 the Supreme Court ordered the case reopened. Fifteen years. Four courts. One brother. Still no conviction. Since the RTI Act came into force in 2005 more than 65 RTI activists have been killed in India and over 400 have been harassed or intimidated. The Whistleblower Protection Act passed in 2014 has never been fully implemented. In India filing an RTI costs ten rupees. For some people it has cost everything. Follow for real stories about people India must never forget.

“Justice Sharma said that even if her relatives are empanelled on Government panels, Kejriwal was still required to show the proximity, relevance, and impact of such empanelment on the case in hand or on the decision-making power of the Court.” WRONG. ABSOLUTELY WRONG. How can the burden to “prove” this be put on a litigant? It is practically impossible. And hence the jurisprudence on recusal requires a litigant to not “prove” bias but only properly convey their “reasonable apprehension” of possible bias due to circumstances such as this. Justice Sharma has got it totally wrong here. The higher courts ought to correct this disastrous judgment on recusal.

The only newspaper to openly and directly denounce the disgusting and shameful act of the election commission colluding with BJP to give a free pass to the PM to abuse state media machinery anyway he wants.

The Spanish Government just released their exhaustive evaluation into Homeopathy as a medical practice in Spain. They concluded that Homeopathy is a scam and is going to phase it out of the country in due course. Meanwhile Indian Government, led by Narendra Modi's BJP has announced 3 years super specialist course for Homeopathy practitioners to become Homeopathic- Endocrinologist, Rheumatologist or Oncologist etc. This is what happens when unpad log (freeloaders who are not formally educated) are kept in positions of power. Nation goes to hell.

Shocking: Mumbai journalist catches off-duty cop in civil dress allegedly extorting money at Mankhurd Metro Station. Cop tries to snatch phone to destroy evidence. Strict action needed to restore public trust in police. Demand fair investigation!

Shocking Allegation: Maharashtra Traffic Police allegedly demanded ₹5,000 bribe from Punjab truck driver Kartar Singh near Pimpalgaon Jalal toll (Nashik). On refusal, they beat him & set his Eicher truck on fire with Army CSD goods worth crores. SIT probing fire cause. Demand justice!

Dragging an RTI activist out of a public office (R/South BMC Ward) for seeking information is not just misconduct it is a direct violation of the Right to Information Act, 2005 and an abuse of power. Are public servants now above the law? Is asking for information a crime? This is a serious attack on transparency and democratic rights. Immediate independent inquiry, suspension of responsible officials, and strict action under law is necessary. @mybmc @mybmcWardRS @MumbaiPolice @KandivaliPS @CMOMaharashtra @mieknathshinde @Devendra_Office #RTI #AbuseOfPower #Transparency #Accountability Video by @swarnipradesh

IMPORTANT: On Ambedkar Jayanti, the story of Manjunath Bhowmik in @IndianExpress should haunt all of us. An 87 year old who has citizenship papers from 1958 is standing outside a Tribunal office in searing heat just to get his right to vote. Wake up @ECISVEEP and SC: Babasaheb didn’t give us a Constitution to deny Indian citizens right to vote. 🙏

A PhD holder, daughter of a 1971 war veteran, Nandita Roy has her name deleted from Bengal voter roll, as the BLO couldn’t reach her phone, and she was marked “untraceable” “Kisi ke baap ka hindustan nahin hai” Ms Roy signs off as she plans legal recourse

Unbelievable.. Unprecedented.. Unmatched.. Make no mistake, what Arvind Kejriwal did in High Court is not ordinary. The day will be marked as a defining moment in Indian democracy. His arguments will be remembered and recalled whenever recusals and fairness of judges will be in question. AAP is not a party that has habitually complained about fairness of the judiciary. The respect and belief has always been there. There are strong reasons behind this recusal application. When Arvind Kejriwal argued his case in front of Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma, he maintained calm. He was absolutely professional about it. The strongest of apprehensions were presented with carefully selected words. Not once he spoke in a way that was disrespectful to judiciary.. such clarity and understanding of discipline of a court room from a politician who has never practiced law was outstanding. He has now set a template for others to follow who may fear that the judge may not be fair to them. This man continues to be a revolutionary. It’s important to discuss the arguments he made today to understand the significance of what he has achieved irrespective of the judgement that is to follow. 1. On 9th March when CBI approached High Court, justice Swarna Kanta was quick to call the session court’s discharge order as erroneous without even hearing the other side. In fact, the other side was not even present in court. How can a judge make such strong observations on a discharge order that came after months of countless hearings in the lower court? The other party, here Arvind Kejriwal has all the right to feel apprehensive.  2. The sessions court had ordered an enquiry against the investigating officer and with strong statements attached. In fact, the court called the investigation pre-determined, which means that the IO was certain who he wanted to implicate. The proceedings against this IO were stayed despite the IO not being present in the court or even requesting for a stay. What was the hurry to give relief to the IO that all procedures had to be brushed aside?  3. Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma when rejecting bail applications of the accused in the past, made strong observations that allowed news channels to pick headlines to openly call the accused guilty. Typically when hearing a bail application, a judge simply accepts or rejects the bail. What was the need to make adverse observations without a trial? 4. The Supreme Court set aside Justice Swarna Kanta’s orders in all these bail applications.. no exceptions. Perhaps Swarna Kanta ji could be wrong about one or two applications but all her orders being set aside raises serious questions. 5. Justice Swarna Kanta’s son and daughter are empaneled by the BJP government. How can Arvind Kejriwal or any accused expect from the judge here to be fair when her kin are working for their political rivals? 6. It’s probably okay for a judge to attend events related to any ideology but Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma attended 4 events of Adhivakta Parishad, a body of the RSS. She never attended events organized by groups belonging to any other ideology. How can Arvind Kejriwal expect a fair judgement from a judge who has been exclusively attending RSS events? I have discussed just a handful of arguments from those that Arvind Kejriwal presented today. He stood in front of the same judge he wanted recused. It was an awkward situation to say the least but the manner in which he presented his case today left many in awe.  Today, he walked out of the court winning many more admirers. His presence along with his arguments have changed a lot of things in India today. I can’t yet pin point but everybody who understands judiciary can feel it in the air.  I recall somebody famously once said.. finally it took Arvind Kejriwal to fix PMLA. I feel a similar statement but on the present subject is on the way after his brilliance today.  This man is made up of some hard steel. Salute.

What a tangled web of contradictions!! 1. SC questions why the "logical discrepancy" list of doubtful voters exists only in West Bengal. Yet does nothing to fix it or protect the 34+ lakh affected voters. 2. Justice Bagchi says the right to vote must be continuous. Then rules: those with pending appeals cannot vote. Continuous? Really? 3. SC claims courts intervene only to promote elections, not block them. Orders: 34 lakh+ people with pending appeals blocked from voting. 4. Justice Bagchi: Court must ignore election pressure. Decision revolves entirely around April 9 deadline and "impending elections in Bengal". 5. SC admits voters are trapped between ECI & State. Solution? Leave them sandwiched and disenfranchised. 6. Bench creates special exception: favourable orders by April 9 = vote in elections. But normal rule: rolls freeze on April 9. Selective override, anyone? 7. CJI: If we allow pending appellants to vote, then stop included voters too. Ignores possibility that many of the 34 lakh deletions are wrong. High principles clash with the actual order that disenfranchises lakhs over technical appeals in one state only. Who benefits from these contradictions?

@NammaBNP I don't understand why the @osd_cmkarnataka Karnataka CM is not looking at this on priority. It's been years the ring road metro is getting built. And they got this bullshit tunnel project in place now. Pls monitor and penalise companies delaying ORR metro.

Recent reports suggest the Pink Line is delayed. Again. Even May now looks doubtful. Six years of shifting deadlines, no accountability. Every year of delay means crores paid in interest with zero revenue. And who bears this cost? We the people do. Through a silent 30% fare hike, no explanation, no accountability. This isn’t just delay. This is mismanagement and citizens are paying the price. #NammaMetro #BMRCL #Pricehike deccanherald.com/india/karnatak…

MYSTERY OF CEC GYANESH KUMAR’S ASSETS Gyanesh Kumar is a compromised CEC openly working for the BJP. Here’s something very alarming that raises serious questions: 👉 All IAS officers are annually required to submit their asset declarations also known as Immovable Property Returns (IPR). This information is PUBLICLY AVAILABLE & uploaded online on the DoPT website 👉 Therefore, I was looking for IPR records filed by Gyanesh Kumar for the period when he was a serving IAS officer. 👉 Now, normally, this information should be available on the DoPT website. Remember - these records are public. If you look at the DoPT site, you’ll find filings of all IAS/IPS officers 👉 Gyanesh Kumar was an IAS officer in Amit Shah’s ministry. He was then appointed to the Election Commission in 2024 and became CEC in Feb 2025 👉 Mysteriously, without any explanation, the past IPR asset records of Gyanesh Kumar were suddenly removed from the website after he joined ECI 👉 Since these IPRs are publicly held records, I asked the DoPT for a copy 👉 Astonishingly, the Modi Govt refused to provide the copies claiming it’s “private information” Question is: 👉 How did these records which were publicly displayed on the website for years suddenly become “private information” in Feb 2025? 👉 These records are available for every IAS/IPS officer. What is the Modi Govt hiding about Gyanesh Kumar to suddenly make these records private? 👉 Every candidate contesting elections has to file a declaration of assets. Even SC & HC judges do it. Why, then, are even the PAST assets of the Chief Election Commissioner hidden from the public? Why is the Modi Govt hiding the past asset declarations of their stooge & why have they been suddenly removed from the website? What exactly is it that they don’t want people to know?
