#WATCH | Kolkata, West Bengal: TMC MP and senior advocate Kalyan Banerjee says, "...I will not appear for Abhishek Banerjee in any case because I do not like his arrogant attitude. I have spent 45 years in this profession; all these people have worked with me as juniors. How can he humiliate me? I am senior to him in politics as well. He cannot do this. He needs to understand that it is because of him that we lost. He also needs to understand that the party is facing this crisis because of him. I cannot tolerate disrespect. I will urge Didi: if you will remain dependent on Abhishek Banerjee, then stick with him-leave me. But if you part ways with Abhishek Banerjee, then I am with you. He has destroyed our party."

PM Narendra Modi did not inherit a launchpad. He inherited the burden of delayed decisions, weak infrastructure, policy paralysis, broken confidence and a country that had forgotten how to think big.

Since Independence, under multiple Congress governments, India crawled to a $2 trillion economy.

PM Modi’s 12 years: India has crossed $4 trillion. In 12 years, India has moved from hesitation to acceleration. From UPI to ports, from digital infrastructure to defence production, a new India has been unleashed.

And that is a political chargesheet against Congress.

For decades, Congress sold India poverty management as governance, entitlement as economics, and slow growth as destiny. Then they have the audacity to compare India with China, after wasting decades when China was building factories, ports, highways, scale and national ambition.

The China comparison is useless unless Congress first answers one question:

What exactly were you doing for 67 years?

Congress mocked ambition because it never had any.

@narendramodi converted ambition into national policy.

That is the difference.

Why should the taxpayers fund a system that the lawmakers themselves avoid?
​It's time for a law: Netas & Babus must send their children to government schools and get their families treated at government hospitals. No private luxuries, no going abroad for studies or treatment!
​If the system isn't good enough for those who run it, it isn't good enough for the common Indian who is one medical emergency away from bankruptcy.
​Let’s force accountability. Share this until it reaches the parliament.

इस कमरे में दलित कितने हैं?

[Sann @san_x_m]

Her name is Rani Rampal.

She was born on December 4 1994 in Shahabad Markanda, a small town in Kurukshetra district, Haryana. Her father was a cart puller, her mother worked as a domestic help, and the family lived in a kaccha house that flooded every monsoon. Some days there was only one meal.

There was a hockey academy near her home. She spent hours watching the players practise and decided she wanted to play.

When she approached coach Baldev Singh, a future Dronacharya Award winner, he initially turned her away. He believed she was too thin and undernourished to endure training.

She kept coming back.

Eventually he allowed her to join. Rani practised with a broken hockey stick and often trained in a salwar kameez because her family could not afford sports gear.

Her family was hesitant about her pursuing the sport. She convinced them hockey was her way out.

In 2008, at just 14 years old, she was selected for India’s senior women’s hockey team for the Olympic qualifiers in Kazan, Russia. She became one of the youngest players ever to represent the Indian women’s team.

Two years later, at the Women’s Hockey World Cup in Argentina, she scored seven goals, finished as the tournament’s second highest scorer and was named Young Player of the Tournament.

She went on to captain India. Under her leadership, the team won silver at the 2018 Asian Games and later achieved its historic fourth place finish at the Tokyo Olympics, the best Olympic performance in the history of Indian women’s hockey.

By the time she retired, she had played 254 international matches and scored 205 goals.

In 2020, she received the Padma Shri. In 2024, Hockey India retired her jersey number 28.

She announced her retirement on October 24 2024.

The coach who once thought she was too thin to survive training watched her become the captain of India.

Arvind Kejriwal never asks for Manish Sisodia’s degree because Manish Sisodia doesn’t have one. He is twelfth class pass. Arvind Kejriwal had made him Delhi’s Education minister.

[Dr. Deepessh Divaakaran (Dr. DD) @md_deepesh]

Kerala election barely made national headlines.
But something dark happened there.
Something most media houses will never decode.
Or maybe… never dare to.

140 seats.
71 needed for majority.

Headline says:
UDF: 102
LDF: 35
NDA: 3

Simple democracy.
Simple numbers.
Simple victory.

Except… the real story begins after the counting ends.

Congress won 63.
IUML won 22.

Read that again.
Without IUML, Congress cannot rule Kerala.

IUML.
Indian Union Muslim League.

A political fragment.
Born from the same Muslim League ecosystem.
The very movement that once demanded Pakistan.

Partition happened.
Borders changed.
But ideologies never really disappeared.

Today, IUML is not some side player.
It is the power broker of Kerala politics.

Education.
Minority Affairs.
Policy influence.
Narrative shaping.

Now add Kerala Congress (M).
Another powerful religious vote bloc.
Strong backing from sections of Christian heartlands.

Now observe the math carefully.

Muslims: 26.56%
Christians: 18.38%

Combined:
Nearly 45%.

Highly consolidated voting.

Now compare that with Hindus.

54.73% on paper.
But politically fragmented.

Split between Congress.
CPI(M).
BJP.
Caste blocs.
Independents.
Regional loyalties.
Personality cults.
Ideological confusion.

Majority in census.
Minority in influence.

And this did not happen overnight.

In 1901, Hindus were nearly 68.5% of Kerala.
By 2011, it dropped close to 54%.

Meanwhile, secularism changed meaning.

It slowly stopped meaning equality.
And started becoming electoral arithmetic.

Every party wanted to look “secular and inclusive.”
So nobody questioned vote-bank consolidation.

Nobody questioned demographic anxieties.
Nobody questioned institutional influence.

Questioning became taboo.
Silence became sophistication.

And Kerala became the laboratory.

A state where political survival,
depends on religious bloc management.

Where coalition math,
matters more than civilisational continuity.

Meanwhile the Hindu voter remained emotionally divided.
Caste divided.
Party divided.
Region divided.
Narrative divided.

The result?

Governments are formed not by Democractic vakues…
But by the most organised Religious one.

And this is why Kerala matters.

Because what begins in Kerala…
often arrives in the rest of India ten years later.

The real question is not who won the election.

The real question is:

When a civilisation becomes too afraid
to discuss its own political reality…
who actually loses the country?

Three ex CMs & all three lost on their own seat as well 🤣

[Mr Sinha @Mrsinha]

Still can't believe, all the parties in Tamilnadu are making efforts to keep the BJP out of power which won just one seat...

Alag level ka khauf hai 😭😭😹😹

[VidurNeeti 🇮🇳 @vidurneetiX]

They started with Atal ji, called him a hardliner, Hindutva face.

When Advani ji became the face of BJP during Ram Rathyatra, they said he was a hardliner while Vajpayee ji became moderate.

Then came Modi. He became the hardliner while Advani ji became a touchable/moderate for them.

Then came Yogi & he became the bulldozer Baba, a hardliner, while Modi became perceived as moderate - Sabka saath, sabka vikas type.

Then came Himanta, a more ferocious version of Yogi. Flagged saffron in unprecedented history in a state with 40% M. A CM hosting rock concerts, head banging, doing leg splits & handling M in a way no one dares to.

Now comes a street fighter - Suvendu Adhikari, a Brahmin with anger like Lord Parshuram. They will find Himanta a moderate now.

All these greats from West India, North, East, & North East have become household names, travelling far beyond their state boundaries, uniting & strengthening Hindus bridging divides on caste/language/regional divides.

Had once said, Modi will install one strong leader in each region. पार्थ, रथ दक्षिण भारत की ओर ले चलो। All focus to now shift South. Telugu states to lead Hindutva followed by TN which will be established as the laboratory of Hindutva in South.

When the four states will be saffronized, it will be Keralam's turn - the final bastion.

The famous presser by @MamataOfficial Mamata Banerjee’s favourite fawning flatterer @MahuaMoitra which ensured that the large Gujarati community of Bhabanipur voted for TMC with their feet.

More power to Mahua Moitra for saving Bengal and Bengalis from TMC’s Hitlerian tyranny.✊🏽

[BhikuMhatre @MumbaichaDon]

Chalo Bhai, comedy circus over 'for now' in Tamil Nadu. Next show in Keralam.

Reportedly, big divide in CONgress over CM Post. While Rahul Ghandy batting for KC Venugopal, other claimant VD Satheesan who is more capable, not ready to budge.

Satheesan, reportedly, has support of 35/63 CONgress MLAs. It's noteworthy that if CONgress has won today in Keralam, it's because of him. He was the only one who took Communist Govt head-on for 10 yrs without fearing for his life when KC Venugopal was happily roaming around all over Bharat with Rahul Ghandy.

Satheesan must take a strong stand this time & not bow down to any pressure from so-called High Command. If needed, should not hesitate to form Non-CONgress Govt with help of other allies who have 39 MLAs. With 7 more CONgress MLAs in his camp, he can easily dodge Anti-defection law & form a Govt with 81 MLAs with allies.

Talent must prevail over Favouritism. VD Satheesan Aage Badho, Hum Tumhare Saath Hai.

People of Tamilnadu were totally fed up of the DMK and ADMK, these parties of rogues and rascals who claimed to represent Dravidian ideology and encashed it by making tons of money. Hence they chose a third alternative, led by a clown, a film actor and a demagogue who has nothing in his head, and no clue how to solve the massive socio-economic problems of Tamilnadu, and thus went from the frying pan into the fire

Congratulations to Dilip Ghosh Ji, Agnimitra Paul Ji, Ashok Kirtania Ji, Kshudiram Tudu Ji and Nisith Pramanik Ji on taking oath as Ministers in the Government of West Bengal. These leaders have worked tirelessly at the grassroots and served people. I am confident they will further strengthen West Bengal’s development journey as Ministers. My best wishes.
