Bengaluru looking like Shimla for a moment. Great visuals from Catholic Club after the hailstorm. #BengaluruRains

@SinghGurbarn @TKParasuraman Loopholes to be plugged. Use of Money Bill route to avoid Rajya Sabha. e.g Aadhar Act and the Finance Act 2017. Reforms would be needed: Judicial review of Speaker’s certification. Constitutional amendment narrowing Article 110. Reform of Speaker’s office to ensure non-partisan

@Promod_P @TKParasuraman Interesting perspective. Balance between fair representation and better governance is the key.

Is India a Democracy of "Numbers" or a Democracy of "Progress"? Today, April 17, 2026, the Bill to expand our Parliament to 850 seats was defeated. Why? Because performing states are terrified. Under the current system, if you control your population and grow your economy, you are PENALIZED with fewer MPs. If you fail to control population, you are REWARDED with more political power. This is a "Democracy Trap." It’s time for a Performance-Based Representation Model. 1. The 50-30-20 Formula We must stop allocating 100% of seats based on headcounts. A "Viksit Bharat" needs a scientific weightage: 50% Population: To keep the democratic soul alive. 30% GDP Contribution: To reward states that feed the national treasury. 20% Development (HDI): To reward states that actually educate their kids and provide healthcare. The Impact (Calculated for 850 Seats): Uttar Pradesh: Instead of jumping to 143 seats (pure population), they stay at ~110. This forces a focus on HDI and jobs, not just size. Maharashtra & Tamil Nadu: They gain a "Performance Bonus" for driving 25%+ of India's economy. Punjab: Grows from 13 to ~22 seats. Why? Because Punjab has a high HDI and a stabilization of population that the current system ignores. 2. The "True Empowerment" Women’s Clause Don’t just reserve 33% of seats. Reserve them in the "Red Zones"—the districts where the female-to-male ratio is the worst and female literacy is lowest. The Rule: If a state wants to unlock those seats, they must prove they are saving and educating girls. One year before every election, use the latest population ratio report to decide the quota. No progress = No power. 3. The Sustainability & Population Bonus Population Control: States that meet the replacement level (TFR 2.1) get a "Responsibility Weightage." Pollution Neutralizer: Add a factor for environmental performance. States like Punjab and Haryana that lead in agriculture must be incentivized to solve stubble burning through representation rewards, not just fines. The Hard Truth: Politicians will hate this. It is easy to win on raw numbers; it is hard to win on RESULTS. But if our leaders are true Desh Bhagats, they must move beyond their personal seat-math. We are at a crossroads. Do we want a Parliament that rewards Quantity or one that demands Quality? The 131st Amendment failed today because it lacked this vision. It’s time to rethink the map of India. #ViksitBharat #Delimitation2026 #IndianEconomy #Punjab #PerformanceDemocracy #NewIndia @PMOIndia @narendramodi @NITIAayog @RahulGandhi @BhagwantMann @ArvindKejriwal

@SinghGurbarn @TKParasuraman Keep Lok Sabha unchanged, Rajya Sabha- Review of legislation, state interests - weighed by GDP + HDI. New National Development Council - Veto power over certain economic laws - performance based GDI+ HDI

Valid concern. But we also need to focus on what is doable today. Fixing individual MP quality through metrics like corruption/criminal record is important, but realistically difficult to implement in the current system. We need workable structural reforms now—while expecting deeper political cleansing to evolve with the next generation.

@DrSJaishankar 2-in-1 blow - The first legislative defeat for the Modi government in 12 years and collateral Defeat.

Today, we all saw the true face of Congress, TMC, DMK and Samajwadi Party. By blocking the Constitutional Amendment that would reserve one-third of seats in Lok Sabha and State Assemblies, they have denied women their legitimate rights. The nation is watching, and so are its women. The insult meted out today to Nari Shakti will never be forgiven.

@dpkBopanna 🤡

Congratulations Bengaluru. 8 years, 10 months, 28 days later, Ejipura flyover is finally ready.

@IndianOilcl Why the dealer is saying it takes 25 days to deliver after booking it. Also even though I booked it through the Indianoil One App dealer is asking OTP?! for the booking confirmation! Dealer : Sri Rama Agency - Bangalore

When was the last time Indian football got this much positive global attention? I honestly can’t remember. So proud of Manisha Kalyan. Her free-kick vs Chinese Taipei is going viral everywhere 🇮🇳⚽️ #IndianFootball #ManishaKalyan

Least bothered!

@OfficialBMRCL please do some proper parking arrangement at Baiyappanahalli metro NGEF side. It’s looks like a junk yard rather than a parking slot. Dusty, unpaved , no lights, street dogs, entrance blocked! We are paying for the parking though! Where this money goes then!?

No point in taking part in any exhibition in India going forward. AI Summit in Delhi was an absolute shit show. There is no execution at all. We pay for a booth. Then we set it up under stress and chaos. And in return, we find that: • stalls aren’t ready • real buyers aren’t there • families are walking around for timepass • samples getting stolen • hours getting wasted for VIP visits And this is not just us. Same thing happened with other manufacturers. An AI event that has No WiFi. Does not allow laptops or UPI/Card Payments. This is embarrassment. So we’re done. We’ll meet buyers 1:1 and in overseas exhibitions Not burn time, money, and energy on manufacturing/hardware exhibitions in India.

@sathyashrii There is no connect to the user with name.

What went wrong ?? 🙃🙃🙃

@RURALINDIA @narendramodi @HardeepSPuri You are lucky to get XP100 @₹149 . Here in Bangalore it’s ₹160, but always no stock. It’s going to ruin my vehicle which requires E5 to run as per the manufacturer.

So, I’ve decided, every time I fill up my car, I’ll name & shame the PM @narendramodi & the Petroleum Minister @HardeepSPuri for extortion. Paying ₹149/- per litre for petrol when the crude is mere $63 per barrel, is criminal So what if they hold power, it isn’t for extortion

@FI_InvestIndia @officialepfo File the grievance through the official portal through valid reason and snapshots epfigms.gov.in/Grievance/Grie…. It solved my problem earlier in October 2025

Dear @officialepfo, A close friend of mine has been unemployed for more than 12 months. He has been trying to withdraw his EPF and he has got rejected 3 times now. He has only one UAN. Everything is linked correctly. After 2 rejections, he tried linking another bank account. Re-KYC done for new bank account. Nothing seems to work. He is feeling so helpless and needs his own money desperately. Why is a tax paying citizen not able to withdraw his own hard earned money? We talk about digital, but one is finding it so difficult to withdraw their own money. Has anyone faced issues like this? I need support from my audience to provide inputs & share widely until my friend is able to get some support to withdraw his own money. #FI

I need urgent help. I ordered a Samsung 990 EVO Plus 4TB SSD from the official @SamsungIndia store on @amazonIN. The SSD arrived dead. Amazon first told me to contact Samsung. Samsung asked me to travel 150+ km, which I cannot. Then Amazon assured me, “We will refund you.” On 13 Nov, Amazon’s pickup agent came, checked serial number, took photos, verified everything, and then accepted the return. A few days later, the status changed to “Item lost in transit.” Now @amazonIN & @AmazonHelp are claiming I sent a wrong item, which is impossible because their own agent verified it before pickup. This SSD cost me ₹29,000 — a huge amount for me. I just want my refund. 🙏 @SamsungIndia @SamsungMobile @SamsungSupport @AmazonNews_IN @AmazonPolicy @ajassy @JeffBezos @jagograhakjago @GoI_MeitY #AmazonScam #ConsumerRights #AmazonIndia #Samsung

@bhash @OlaElectric Why can’t you make it removable battery as per the original design?!

Big milestone for @OlaElectric! Our vehicles with 4680 Bharat Cell battery packs are now ARAI certified, delivering more range, better performance & enhanced safety. Deliveries of vehicles with our own cells to begin now! Proud of our engineers for making this happen🇮🇳⚡🔋

@Umm_e_meerann @AadilHasanAdv1 @AshrafFem @Cheeku28 @chulbuli_Anni @ProfNoorul @Praakasss @FakeerHun @bhartiyrailways @ParodyChitraahh Bring the check-in and boarding rules like Airlines to the railways. Non passengers should not be allowed inside the station premises like in the airport. Introduce automatic doors which only opens at stations and give override options to loco pilot. On board Catering only.

"I could tolerate the crowd but not the repeated harassment. " Neha This woman travelling in a sleeper coach said a man tried to crawl into her berth while she slept. She said she filed multiple complaints via the RailMadad app and the 139 helpline but got no help. That night, more men tried to sit and sleep beside her while she was trying to sleep,When the TTE arrived, he allegedly told her to "adjust" because of the festive rush. @RailMinIndia @RailwaySeva @SCRailwayIndia @bhartiyrailways @RPF_INDIA

@sumitsaurabh @MapmyIndia It’s getting improved. ETA is way off by 15min on 9 km ride from Church Street to West of Chord Road. POI labelled names are not showing in search is a let down

Once you start using @MapmyIndia , there is no going back to any other maps . It’s atleast a decade ahead than its competitors. It shows if you have to take flyover with visuals . It shows blind spots , it shows accident prone area , it shows speed breakers . It shows exact time of ETA , too accurate . The lock mobile interface is also much better than any other app ! Use it . You can’t get anything better than this . PS : it’s not a paid review . You have to use to appreciate this made in India app .

2 hours 57 minutes to travel just 17 km in Bengaluru’s IT corridor. @siddaramaiah @DKShivakumar @PriyankKharge @MBPatil — who is running this traffic mafia? #BengaluruTraffic
