@santheepnair In the Indian Army, shortages are over 1.8 lakh soldiers (2023–2025 data), with thousands of vacancies in officer and JCO/NCO ranks. You can suggest further cut. But directly elected MPs remain at 543. No shortage here

Following the untimely demise of Ajit Pawar, the Baramati Assembly constituency now faces a by-election. Ajit Dada’s political journey began with the Congress party, and he maintained a long-standing, respectful association with it throughout his career. In this moment of grief and remembrance, an unopposed election in Baramati would serve as a dignified and heartfelt tribute to his legacy of public service and inclusive politics. I sincerely appeal to the Congress leadership to consider this gesture in the spirit of respect, unity. @INCIndia @kharge @RahulGandhi @kcvenugopalmp @INCMaharashtra @INCHarshsapkal

And I would like to take this opportunity to thank Hon. @PMOIndia @narendramodi ji who met me and heard from me my experience in the Rajya Sabha, as well as shared his insights. Thank you Hon. Prime Minister, this meant a lot for me. I will continue to be a vocal member in the opposition - for the nation needs a strong opposition. I will continue to stand for the nation and will continue to speak for the nation. Jai Maharashtra. Jai Hind.

International crude prices have gone through the roof in the last 1 month from around 70 dollars/barrel to around 122 dollars/barrel. Consequently, petrol and diesel prices for consumers have gone up all over the world. Prices have increased by around 30%-50% in South East Asian countries, 30% in North American countries, 20% in Europe and 50% in African countries. The Modi Government had two choices- either increase prices drastically for citizens of Bharat as all other nations have done or bear the brunt on its finances so that Indian citizen is insulated from international volatility. Hon’ble Prime Minister @narendramodi Ji, in keeping with his Government’s commitment of last 4 years since the conflict in Russia-Ukraine started, decided to take a hit on its own finances again to safeguard the Indian citizen. Government has taken a huge hit on it taxation revenues to ensure very high losses of oil companies (approximately 24 Rs/litre for petrol and 30 Rs/litre for diesel) at this time of sky high international prices are reduced. At the same time, export tax has been levied as international prices of petrol and diesel have skyrocketed and any refinery exporting to foreign nations will have to pay export tax. My gratitude to Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi Ji and Hon’ble FM @nsitharaman Ji for this very timely, bold and visionary decision!

Humbled to share that the Government of Uttarakhand has appointed me as the Senior Additional Advocate General for the State in the Supreme Court of India. ​I extend my deepest gratitude to the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Shri @pushkardhami ji, for reposing his faith in me. I look forward to representing the Devbhoomi and upholding the rule of law with utmost dedication and integrity. ​Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

DURANDHAR2 IS OUTSTANDING!🏆ADITYA DHAR IS A ROCKSTAR! ❤️🥹Sometimes, words fall short. You walk out of a film… and there’s a silence within you that says everything, yet explains nothing. That’s what watching #Dhurandar felt like. It is not just a film. It is an experience. An emotion. A journey that quietly enters your heart and then refuses to leave. There are moments in Dhurandar that don’t just play on screen—they stay with you, long after the lights come on. I have tried to capture what I felt in the video I am sharing along with this post… but honestly, I could have gone on and on. Because some stories are not meant to be described! They are meant to be felt. Dhurandar is one such story. Congratulations to the entire team for creating something so powerful, so magical, so moving, and so deeply human. Watch it. Experience it. And then sit with it. And #SanjayDutt is brilliant! EVERY ‘INDIAN’ WILL BE PROUD OF THIS FILM. JAI Hind!❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️ @AdityaDharFilms @jiostudios @RanveerOfficial @bolbedibol #Indian #Proud

Wishing queen of cinema & Parliamentarian @KanganaTeam a very happy birthday. More strength to you .
