PM Modi praises Karnataka Governor Sudha Yadav; recalls that her husband was martyred during the Kargil war.
He praises Yadav for her steadfast commitment, dedication to serve the nation.
Morning nostalgia: Yesterday, at a Diwali Milan with the media, PM @narendramodi recalled how he would even organise chairs for press conferences many years ago. It brought back memories of the 1990 Rath Yatra, when I first met Narendra bhai. He was handling the Gujarat leg of Advani ji’s yatra.
His media management was already his hallmark. When phone lines were down, he once even helped organise a fax machine for us in Surat so we could file our copies before deadline!
The BJP of the Advani-Vajpayee era was a remarkably media-friendly party. On occasion, they would hold two or even three press conferences on the same subject! What struck me most was that they seemed to enjoy the cut and thrust of these interactions. Journalists critical of the BJP were not just tolerated; they were actively encouraged to ask more questions.
I guess that was another age, when the media world was not so sharply divided into ‘us’ versus ‘them’. Somewhere along the way, the equations have changed across the political spectrum and become far more transactional and yes, PR driven.
It is best not to live in the past, but I have a quiet sense of contentment that I was witness to a different era of politics, when politicians saw a questioning media not as an adversary to be managed or neutralised, but as an essential part of a functioning democracy. I wonder how many of today’s political leaders would agree.🙏
European Parliament openly admits: "We cannot demand from India what they do or don't... we CANNOT prevent it" when it comes to buying Russian oil.
India puts its national interest first, and the world has NO choice but to ACCEPT it. 🔥
IPL is about $20 billion
@h4rdik: "But if you go to NFL or NBA, that's about $195B or $160B."
"In terms of the amount of money that is in live sports the US sports ecosystem definitely dominates."

Microsoft says they are "restarting the servers" to fix Outlook. Glad to know a trillion-dollar tech giant fixes their problems the exact same way my 84 year old mom fixes her Wi-Fi router.
@RahulGandhi अरे अधेड़ बेवड़े कोई ढंग का काम कर ले, ट्रोलिंग के लिए, गालीबाज कुप्रिया, घंटेवाली नागिनी और फट्टू खेड़ा है।
एक बार अपनी बकलोली सुन ले, बारबाला का मुंह काला कर देगा तू,ये मैं निश्चित ही से कह सकता हूं।
आया बड़ा बहस करने।
