Manual scavenging in Mumbai with a whopping budget of 74,000 crores. When people say there is no corruption, show them this…💔

Most people are sleeping on the fact that Copilot CLI is just better than Claude Code or Codex subscription. 1. You switch between codex and claude in same subscription 2. $39 sub is great value (3-4x usage than $20 plans) 3. the CLI is so good! no flicker and /slash commands work even when model is working. Unlike CC or Codex.

🚨BREAKING CATHY NEWMAN: You're striking gas fields in Qatar. These aren't military targets. IRANIAN SPOKESPERSON: We're targeting US-linked assets. CATHY: No, you're striking a gas field in Qatar. IRANIAN SPOKESPERSON: Don't interrupt me. Who struck our gas fields first? We're defending ourselves. CATHY: But a gas field isn't a military target. IRANIAN SPOKESPERSON: Then why were ours targeted ?

@CNBCTV18Live When crude was low, BJP under Modi hiked excise and collected ₹43 lakh crore in the last 12 years Now when crude is high, they pass the full burden to people instead of reducing taxes.. double gain for govt, double hit for common man.

So Under @narendramodi and @AshwiniVaishnaw , Criticising Modi and BJP is now officially banned in India. ⚠️ They are mindlessly and senselessly withholding accounts in India who are critical of the gov. Blatant assault on India’s constitutional right of Freedom of Speech Article 19 (1)(A) , and all the courts are sleeping. This is being done smartly before elections to stop any Anti BJP content from spreading. Also a message to Sanghis who are rejoicing at this, time is powerful, your masters won’t be in power forever.

Guess ill move off of Vercel for (unpaid) personal projects at this point. I dont mind if people ask permission for this, and everyones free to make their own choices, but I am your funnel, not your product.

A Muslim would be hung and quartered for much less, his house bulldozed, his entire family put behind bars but this is allowed. @DelhiPolice I know tagging you is useless but the record should show you knew and did nothing.

You collected ₹38.89 lakh crore from petrol & diesel taxes (2014–2024). Paid back ₹3.23 lakh crore in oil bonds. That’s charging Indians ₹12 for every ₹1 returned. Petrol is STILL ₹95/litre. This isn’t an economic autopsy. This is a confession. 🧵

India seized 3 Iranian tankers in February; almost certainly under US sanctions pressure. Now Iran is saying: return our tankers first, then we’ll talk about your 22 stuck ships and LPG crisis. Modi pleased Washington by seizing the tankers. Modi pleased nobody by refusing to condemn the strikes. Now India is hostage to both; can’t anger the US by releasing seized assets, can’t survive without Iran opening Hormuz. This is what happens when your foreign policy is built on photo-ops instead of principles. 611 Indian sailors stranded. LPG cylinders running out back home. And we’re sitting at a negotiating table where the other side holds every card; because we handed them over ourselves. Strategic autonomy was India’s greatest diplomatic asset. Modi traded it for a hug in Jerusalem.

If you didn’t condemn Israel’s crimes against Palestine, or the U.S. and Israel’s crimes against Iran, shut your mouth for the rest of your life. Stop pretending to care about humanity and human rights.

Today in Parliament, I raised concerns affecting India’s prepaid recharge customers, who account for nearly 90% of the country’s 125 crore mobile users. (1) If a recharge expires, stopping outgoing calls may be understandable. But why are incoming calls stopped as well? Once validity ends, people cannot be reached, and even essential messages like bank OTPs may not come through. In emergencies or urgent situations, this can leave a person completely cut off. My demands: First is that incoming calls and SMS should continue for at least one year after the last recharge so essential communication does not stop. Second, a mobile number should not be deactivated for at least three years after the last recharge. Third, telecom operators should introduce a low cost “incoming only” plan for users who simply need their number to remain active for essential calls, OTPs and government services. (2) I also raised the issue of 28 day recharge “monthly” plans. If something is called monthly, it should follow the calendar month of 30–31 days. Because of the 28 day cycle, consumers effectively end up paying for 13 recharges in a year. (28 days × 13 recharges = 364 days) Telecom Operators should sync up their Recharge Plans with the true calendar months, and not 28 day plans. A mobile phone today is not a luxury. It is a lifeline. Prepaid recharge customers deserve fairness and transparency. Not clever fine print.

Maharashtra Minister and his Convoy drove on a one-way, creating a massive traffic jam. Who Will Punish Them? Kudos to the Individual who recorded and SHAMED him without fear.

Every one who digs a basement has to pay the Govt for excavation of soil & rock. Even Mumbai Metro paid up. For excavation for their underground Metro3 project. Yet, Adani has been granted exemptions from paying. My Govt With exemptions galore for their friends
