India has been accused of trying to impose vegetarian standards after serving a meat-free menu to world leaders at the Brics summit.
The New Delhi dinner, attended by leaders including Vladimir Putin of Russia and Masoud Pezeshkian, the Iranian president, featured more than 10 vegetarian dishes, prompting a domestic political row

April 2010
Naxals killed 76 Jawans in Dantewada, Chhattisgarh. Then Home Minister P. Chidambaram offered to resign.
BJP was in Opposition, but asked Chidambaram not to Resign.
Do you know why?
BJP said if Chidambaram quits, Maoists will hail it as their victory. Also, home minister "cannot be seen as retreating".
"We expect him to face the situation boldly. We cannot see the country standing defeated by Maoists"
"Chidambaram should make aspirational statements to boost the morale of the security forces. The BJP will support all the endeavours of the government in its battle to finish the Leftist rebels."
Glimpse of 2012 Nirbhaya Protest:
No govt in the past 79 years of Independence has allowed it, and no govt in our lifetime will ever allow an uncontrolled mob of tens of thousands of people to march on Parliament.
Police action will always be taken. The Supreme Court has given guidelines about this.
So when a movement leader asks you to participate in a protest at Parliament, know that they want you at Parliament so you are beaten by the police instead of them. And their agenda will be further intensifies because of it.
Even if BJP asks you in future to participate in March to Parliament, know that the reason is same.
Meet Zebaa Ali from Mussoorie:
• She is pursuing an LLB and is also a vlogger.
• She attended Rahul Gandhi’s event in Dehradun.
• She said that when India had a Muslim Prime Minister, there were no riots and no problems.
• She also claimed that Prime Ministers’ sons go abroad for their education.
• When a journalist asked her who the Muslim Prime Minister was, she replied, “APJ Abdul Kalam.”
She is studying law and wants change. 😭

More than a decade after the Kamduni rape case, this woman is still looking for justice for her friend. Shipra Ghosh was raped by 8 men, her legs torn apart till navel, throat slit, left to die.
TMC never gave her justice. This is on you @MamataOfficial
IMPORTANT Data point:
49 constituencies in West Bengal had winning margins lower than number of electors deleted in SiR
26 won by BJP, 21 by TMC, 2 by Cong
Average victory margin of BJP in 207 seats was an impressive 27,805 ,
Note: total of 90 lakh names deleted during electoral rolls. Over 34 lakh appeals pending before tribunals which is a sizeable number.
Net net: SIR may have affected marginal seats BUT did NOT influence final verdict in WB. It was HIGH ANTI INCUMBENCY in several regions that cost TMC after 15 years in power .

- Rekha Patra was victim of Sandeshkhali mass gang rape by TMC men. She defeated TMC candidate by 5000+ votes.
- Ratna Debnath is mother of RG Kar hospital rape & murder victim. TMC attempted shield the culprits. Ratna defeated TMC candidate by 28,000+ votes
- Kalita Maji is a maid who worked at four different houses to sustain her life. She was harassed by TMC workers regularly for supporting BJP. She defeated TMC candidate by 12,000+ votes.
Democracy is alive and kicking in India. Anyone who disagrees is just a chatukar of politicians who lost today.
Meet BJP Bengal candidate Kalita Majhi
She worked as a maid in Delhi/NCR for 2500/home. During 2021 assembly elections she wasn't allowed to vote. She was physically harassed and her family was tortured by TMC gundas fearing they might vote for BJP
Today she defeated TMC candidate Shyama Prassanna from the Ausgram constituency
TMC cannot blame SIR if it loses Bengal
Here's why:
In 2021, TMC+ got 2.90 cr out of 6.03 cr votes polled, giving it a 48% vote share.
If its vote-share had remained the same and so had the turnout percentage, normal population growth should have taken its votes to 3.04 cr.
Now, assume that 75% of the 27 lakh disenfranchised by SIR were TMC voters, that would be ~20 lakh votes lost due to SIR.
If the turnout had remained the same, TMC+ would have gone down to 2.84 cr this time.
But the absolute turnout actually increased by ~30 lakh. If TMC had got even 40% of the votes here, it would have got 12 lakh additional votes.
The net impact would have been a loss of 8 lakh votes, taking its final tally to 2.96 cr.
Now let's look at BJP+
In 2021, it could 2.3 cr votes, or 38% vote share.
If everything had remained the same, population growth would have taken it to 2.41 cr this time.
Now, let us assume that 8-10% of the disenfranchised were BJP voters. So BJP+ would have lost ~2.5 lakh votes due to SIR.
Let us also assume that 55% of the additional 30 lakh turnout went to BJP, giving it an extra 16.5 lakh votes.
The net impact (gains from higher turnout minus the losses due to SIR) would have been an additional 14 lakh votes.
This would have taken the BJP to 2.44 cr votes in 2026, keeping in mind (1) higher population (2) higher turnout and (3) SIR deletions.
This is still a 52 lakh vote advantage to TMC+
Even if I assume the SIR impact to be bigger, TMC+ would still have been ahead by at least 40 lakh votes.
This would only be possible if BJP+ wins Bengal with a lower vote-share.
Otherwise, SIR cannot explain the current trend (at 11:00 AM)
Zuckerberg's yacht once sailed 9,600 nautical miles, burned 676,800 liters of diesel, and waited two months in the South Pacific for him to show up.
He never came. It turned around and went home.
The vessel burns 1,165 gallons of diesel per hour at cruising speed. The carbon output of 630 cars running simultaneously. In nine months, it produced 5,300 tons of CO2, what 400 American households emit in an entire year.
Meta's sustainability report pledges net zero across their value chain by 2030. Zuckerberg's personal fleet (there's a $30 million support vessel that follows the yacht everywhere carrying submarines, helicopters, and water toys) produced more emissions on that single empty round trip than most people will generate in a lifetime.
The fuel tank holds 423,700 liters. A full fill costs about $230,000. Based on his 2024 wealth increase, Zuckerberg earns that in under 90 seconds.
Net zero is a line item in someone else's budget. It always was.
