Dramatically reduce Public BEST Buses

Force public to use Bike Taxis

And then claim that employment has gone up

This is the story of our Government

This shambolic & discriminatory process should be unacceptable to any self-respecting democracy

[Saurabh Bharadwaj @Saurabh_MLAgk]

Unbelievable

Raghav Chaddha might lose his Rajya Sabha because his vote got deleted in SIR.

And @IndianExpress reporter got a tip-off that Raghav Chadha’s name was being added in the back date in Delhi’s voter list.

When Indian Express asked this from ECI officials , this back channel process was immediately halted.

However , Mr Raj Kamal Jha, the editor of Indian Express used his veto to drop this main part of the story. This was a major allegation that it was being tried that his name gets added into voter list in the back date. And it’s a crime to do manipulation in sacrosanct voter list.

Mr @rajkamaljha Is this not a shame for the legacy of newspaper like Indian Express ?

Your reminder that Mumbai lakes had less than 10% water left before our monsoons started even before data centres were here.

[naresh fernandes @tajmahalfoxtrot]

SIR: 33% Delhi voters deleted from draft list, 21% in Maharashtra. And it still isn't possible to search by name to check if you're still a voter. This is an exercise in perversity, designed to make inclusion as arduous as possible.

Let's hope the CJI and his brother judges read the ToI. This is on them, for allowing Gyanesh's appointment by Modi and Shah and then backing the SIR wholeheartedly. @CartoonistSan

[Anjali Bhardwaj @AnjaliB_]

First privacy of bahu-beti was cited to deny CCTV footage of polling stations, now privacy of CEC Gyanesh Kumar is being cited to deny details of official visits undertaken by him and the public money spent!
This is EXACTLY why the govt amended the RTI Act through the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act- in the garb of protecting personal information, shield public servants from accountability.
Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act was amended through DPDP to expand the scope of the exemption to prevent disclosure of ALL personal information. Earlier the RTI only allowed denial of such personal information which had no relationship to public activity or interest.

Why do pedestrians need to walk through a hot, airless 1.3-km passage underground? The BMC could easily figure out a way to construct a path through the Racecourse. This is idiocy.

[Meenal Baghel @writemeenal]

The reimagining of Mumbai is coming at a high cost. Between 2023 and 2026, 12 grounds earmarked for parks, playgrounds were diverted for other developments. Mumbaikars have an average of 0.12 sq m of green space per person, among the lowest in the world.

[naresh fernandes @tajmahalfoxtrot]

If they're going to develop the Racecourse as the city's Central Park, why are they building a pedestrian tunnel under it? We could simply walk through tree-lined paths to the coastal road. This plan is mindless.

Order withdrawn last night, no cause of action remaining, but the show must go on and the headlines must be tweeted.

A 10/10 performance by K. Parameshwar here, Oscar-worthy stuff.

In any functional system, this must not just be struck down for the asking, but also result in swift and punitive consequences for the BCI Chairman and office bearers who are abusing their office.

[Bar and Bench @barandbench]

BREAKING: Bar Council of India directs State Bar Councils not to enrol any 2026 NALSAR graduate as an advocate until further orders.

BCI seeks a report identifying those behind the campaign over CJI Surya Kant’s participation in the University’s convocation. A final decision will be taken on August 19.

[Gaurav Pandhi @GauravPandhi]

A powerful, must-read article.

LoP @RahulGandhi has asked the question @AmitShah cannot escape. Did he order the brutal assault on students, or did forces under him act without his knowledge?

In the first case, he is culpable. In the second, incompetent. Either way, he has no business remaining Home Minister.

Pellets for students, silence in Parliament and propaganda outside it this is not strength. It is cowardice wearing the uniform of the State.

This would have been unheard of even a year back. Our entire generation and that of our parents have lived in fear. Count how many lawyers are truly vocal on issues of the day. They are scared of either invoking the wrath of the system or of losing potential clients and briefs. What sets aside the GenZ is that they do not fear!

[Husam Zomlot @hzomlot]

Today, Gaza buried 112 members of two families — Al-Hasayneh and Abu Sharia — whose remains were pulled from the rubble of homes destroyed earlier by Israeli airstrikes. The funeral came during one of the deadliest stretches of Israeli bombardment in recent days, proof that the #GazaGenocide‌ has not ended despite ceasefire and deal announcements. Israel’s plan has not changed since 1948: the mass expulsion of Palestinians and the complete ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

[Blew Media @BlewMedia_in]

To improve their language and politics knowledge, genZ is watching old clips of PM Modi and BJP leaders.
