@_pallavighosh Better than Ghosh Vs Ghose 😜

Your news report is far more balanced than the 50 word edit. A Budget is 50% Economics and 50 % Politics. Given the fiscal bankruptcy inherited and populist overhang of 50 years (of Left and TMC rule) - @swapan55 and @SuvenduWB job of setting a vision and roadmap. Some of the outlays may look paltry but signals the government’s priorities. Producing such a Budget within a few days of taking charge shows the homework done by the party and the bureaucratic depth of talent. Kudos to Manoj Agarwal and Subrata Gupta. The risk is seeing the clarity of strategy - the detractors and usual suspects would try to scuttle and derail the plans - as they have already started finding flaws. Staying the course will be key. But can be done with political will and honest intent of the new regime. @CMOfficeWB #WestBengal https://t.co/o7wN0EF0Mi

And, during COVID we had our own star journalists and politicians (in their mission to discredit @narendramodi and our experts from @aiims_newdelhi like Dr Guleria and Dr Balram Bhargava) and promote foreign vaccines were asking "where is our own Dr Fauci"?

[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

Met a young man who just returned from Bolpur (Santiniketan - Anubrata Mondal territory). Local "Dadas" told him how they had list of names and blueprint for action ready for post poll attacks on BJP workers and supporters. Surprisingly, they never anticipated the results.

Presumably, BJP is doing all this creative reengineering in West Bengal and Maharashtra to muster the majority that eluded them in 2024. Hope after this they will press the accelerator pedal to fast track reforms. Ultimately it's the economy and jobs that matter.

@sabeer Gandhi returned from South Africa to lead the movement. When are you coming back from California. Rahul Gandhi had famously said the Independence Movement was a NRI movement. We need an accomplished NRI like you for the revolution. Maybe Aishwarya will join the crusade too.

@ANI Kahani mein twist. Wasn't this the party that was registered skmet9ago by some Trinamool people. They appear to be following the same playbook by which TMC was created by MB. @SudhanidhiB #TrinamoolCongress

[Nux Vomica @GhoseDoctrine]

It is evident that investigative agencies may have been weaponised (when weren't they). It is also true that not all BJP politicians are lily white. But, that can't be used to justify astronomical corruption and complicity in anti-national activities. #aproposnothing

@_pallavighosh @Iyervval Love the evolving sartorial flair of the Tolas clan. 👒

[Nux Vomica @GhoseDoctrine]

@_pallavighosh @kakoligdastidar Was this the party that was formed (registered) by AB sometome ago?

The Great Trinamool Treasure Hunt

When Trinamool's mighty reign was done,
The raiding teams had so much fun.
They opened cupboards, trunks and sacks,
And found more surprises than railway tracks!

Bundles of cash in beds and walls,
Cash in kitchens, cash in halls.
Cash in pillows, cash in shoes,
Enough to make accountants blow a fuse!

Then came condoms by the score,
Boxes stacked from floor to floor.
The officers scratched their heads and said,
"Was this a party office or a chemist instead?"

Next appeared the bottles tall,
Hidden behind portraits on the wall.
Whisky, rum and spirits rare,
Enough to keep a wedding merry for a year.

But wait! The story grew more strange,
As arms emerged from every range.
The raiders sighed, "We came for files,
Not an army surplus storehouse pile!"

Meanwhile, crowds lined every street,
To watch the accused retreat.
No roses flew, no cheers were begged,
The public's weapon was simply eggs!

An egg on the forehead, an egg on the nose,
An egg in the hair wherever it goes.
The people's verdict, sunny-side-up,
Served in a rather embarrassing cup.

Now every leader fears a knock,
Not from rivals, but from livestock.
For cash may vanish and power may flee,
But egg on the face lives eternally!

So ends the tale of the great raid season,
A comedy beyond all political reason.
Where cash, condoms, bottles and arms all met,
And the final auditor was a flying omelette.

@AdvaitaKala OMG...what's happening in Delhi ?

[GhoseSpot @TheRightGhose]

Dear @KPTrafficDept You have implemented 2 wheeler helmet rules. It is time to impose traffic discipline. Private buses have to be reigned in and lane discipline enforced with iron hand. #Kolkata’s old civilised driving culture must be restored. @CPKolkata @HomeBengal @CMOfficeWB

@Iyervval Why do people who build homes with looted money always have such bad taste?

[Nux Vomica @GhoseDoctrine]

Well covered @_pallavighosh @payalmehta100 @shivanigupta_5 Great points by @tushar15. They aren't politicians in exile but deepstate assets strategically positioned overseas to escape overreach of Indian laws. Congress as usual is maroing aapa payer pe kulhari to spite BJP.

It is interesting that those who have actually lost the elections are less vocal. They are infact displaying a lot of equanimity and maturity.
It is the rootless wonders and sycophants of the supremo who are making most noise while others are piping down. Any thoughts?

@IndiGo6E Is it true that airline staff are nicer and more helpful in the South? A big shout out for Neha at the FFWD counter in MAA - T1. Please pass on the appreciation to her. #IndigoAirlines

[Nux Vomica @GhoseDoctrine]

Life lessons from travelling on @IndiGo6E:
- Keep your expectations to the minimum;
- Be grateful for small favours
- Practice Anger Management
- Learn Deep Breathing;
Every flight is an opportunity to improve yourself and evolve spiritually. #IndigoAirlines #Indigo #Airlines

@_pallavighosh What was the compulsion of Congress supporting Vijay? Heard many theories circulating in Chennai. #TVKVijay‌

[Nux Vomica @GhoseDoctrine]

@ndtv This is getting curiouser and curiouser. How did @rssurjewala's name crop up during interrogation? Though @himantabiswa had indicated the possibility of investigation leading to others.
