[KPCC Ex Servicemen Dept @kpccexsvcmen]

Governments are meant to showcase achievements year by year, reforms, progress, vision. That is called governance, leadership.”

Unfortunately, with THIS regime, the only timeline we can prepare is of scams. Year after year, headline after headline, corruption is the only constant.”

“Instead of milestones of progress, we see milestones of plunder. Every year marked not by growth, but by betrayal.”

“Banking frauds, crony deals, horse‑trading, exam paper leaks, privatisation of prime industries, the calendar of this regime is written in scams, not reforms.”

A government so bankrupt of ideas, its legacy is not innovation or reform, but deceit. No vision, no growth, only corruption stitched together as governance. Citizens expect progress. What they get instead is a catalogue of scandals. This is not governance, as Dr Manmohan Singh once said,

Organised loot and legalised plunder.

Every year should bring hope. Under this regime, every year brings another scam. Hope replaced by headlines of fraud.” Leadership is about ideas, vision, and reform. This regime offers none, only scams masquerading as governance.”

“History won’t remember this government for achievements. It will remember the timeline of scams that defined its years in power.”

“A regime bereft of ideas, bankrupt of vision, and drowning in corruption. It’s only legacy: a decade long timeline of scams.”

There is a memory I carry with me from my years as a civil servant. It has never left me....
Back then, I had just been transferred as Collector to Mangalore, a city then shadowed by communal violence and a menacing sand mafia. Before I left, word came that the Chief Minister wished to see me personally. It was unusual. Collectors don't typically get called in. I walked into his chamber with a knot in my stomach.
He looked at me, that familiar, unreadable face. Steady. Unhurried.
"Banri…" he said. (Come in.)
"Nimage ondhe kelasa… alli ennum communal aaga baradhu."
(You have only one job there. No communal incident should happen.)
That was it. No preamble. No politics. No performance. Just a Chief Minister, alone with a young IAS officer, telling him exactly what mattered. In that single sentence lived an entire philosophy of governance. one rooted not in optics, but in the protection of ordinary people from extraordinary hatred.

Fifteen days later, Mangalore erupted. Two communal murders, two communities, one city on edge. He called me again. Just as directly.
"DC... Do what is required. Take anyone into custody, even our party people. Don't bother. But stop this within a day."
To a young collector, those words were everything. They were permission. They were protection. They were political will at its most honest.
I have known the contrast too. Under a different dispensation, in a similar crisis, the instruction from the top was the opposite. Do nothing strongly. Let things fester. …That silence said everything about who governs for whom.
Siddaramaiah Ji was never that kind of leader.

He carried government finances in his fingertips and social justice in his spine. He refused to tour places that reeked of feudalism. He spoke plainly, governed sharply, and stood on the side of the last person in the room.
If there was one political figure I have genuinely admired, from the stage and up close, it has been him. His legacy is not in the schemes he launched or the budgets he read. It is in the kind of Chief Minister he chose to be when no one was watching. . On that quiet phone call. In the way he asked a nervous young officer to go out and keep the peace.
And now, as he steps back with the same quiet dignity with which he always led, I find myself moved. He has handled this transition with the grace of someone who always knew that principles outlast positions.
Siddaramaiah Ji....long life, good health, and please keep guiding us. The Congress, and this country, still needs the kind of moral clarity only you carry so naturally.

Do read the statements of @ceo_karnataka . Absolutely leaving the door open for the arbitrary 'logical discrepancy' to happen in Karnataka too. Dangerous times ahead for Kannadigas.

राम माधव उवाच:
जो हुकुम सरकारी
वही बने तरकारी।

अमेरिका ने जो हुक्म दिया हमने वही किया।

हमने ईरान से तेल लेना बंद किया

🔸रूस से तेल लेना बंद किया।

🔸50% टैरिफ पर कुछ नहीं कहा

🔸 18% टैरिफ के लिए राजी हुए, जो एवरेज टैरिफ से बहुत ज्यादा है

🔸हमें विपक्ष की आलोचना झेलनी पड़ी, लेकिन भारत सरकार ने कहां कमी रखी?

♦️सॉरी सर, संघ तो स्वाधीनता संग्राम तक में शामिल नहीं था.!

🔸 'भारत छोड़ो आंदोलन' के समय अंग्रेजों के साथ था RSS

🔸संघ ने न संविधान स्वीकार किया था और न तिरंगा।

🔸आज़ाद भारत में देश और समाज विरोधी गतिविधियों के कारण तीन बार लग चुका है प्रतिबंध।

🔸फिर भी आप लाल किले से कसीदे काढ़ रहे थे।

BJP Mahila Sammaan Rally optics gone wrong. Citizen loses cool over BJP leaders & ministers blocking the road & inconveniencing a busy Mumbai road. She says ‘go to a park & shout, get out of the road’

[The Hindu @the_hindu]

A woman is allegedly seen losing her cool on Maharashtra cabinet minister Girish Mahajan, over the traffic snarl caused by the BJP morcha in Mumbai on Tuesday evening. This was during a protest march on the issue of the Women's Reservation Bill. She was heard asking the minister to protest on a ground, and not hold up the traffic by marching on the streets. The opposition hit out at the BJP while appreciating the woman.

Respected sir maybe there was a communication issue but the way I remmeber the last 3 questions of my cross examination this evening -
Do you feel remorse - No
Are you sorry about what you said- No
If you tender an unconditional apology this matter will be looked at differently - No I can’t as the apology would not be sincere. Also it would set a terrible precedent for other artists & their freedom.
