They conquer who believe they can 🇮🇳

[Abhishek @AbhishBanerj]

If true, this is pathetic.

Indira G bears 100% responsibility for her decision as PM, heading Govt of India

Sanjay & Rajiv were not even MPs in 1975, let alone in govt

What Indira's family members thought of it is irrelevant

In fact, why did they even know in advance?

Did you know that Emergency was proclaimed without even informing the Union Cabinet?

But PM's family members knew ... turning the Republic into a joke...

[Prakash Dadlani @prakdadlani]

Indians punish entrepreneurs for taking risks.

Look at what's happening with Deepinder Goyal and Temple.

He reportedly invested $20 million of his own money into this venture and stepped away from running Zomato to build something new.

Think about that for a second.

He is putting his own money, time and reputation on the line.

The investors know what they're getting into.

People spending ₹85,000 on the product can decide for themselves whether it's worth buying.

Nobody is forcing anyone.

Will the product succeed? Maybe. Maybe not.

But that's what building something new looks like.

Even if Temple doesn't work out, the research, technology and talent created along the way could lead to something valuable.

That's how new industries are built.

Yet, instead of encouraging people who take big risks, we spend our time pulling them down.

You can question the science. You can criticise the product. You can disagree with the business.

That's fair.

But why discourage someone for trying?

India needs more people willing to take big bets, invest their own money and build things that have never been built before.

One man helped change how an entire country orders food online. Today, he's trying to build something new.

I'd rather encourage people like him than mock them for taking a chance.

Cheer the builders. Believe in Bharat.

[Aravind @aravind]

Yeah, their corrupt govt did this by creating protests against Adani on behalf of the Chinese.

Many Kenyans instigated by social media misinformation did it too. So China's companies could get the projects in Kenya.

And some Indians were cheering this saying "Adani was chucked out of Kenya, it's a bad company."

What to say of these Indians? That's more concerning to me.

We can only can ask them, next time no matter what politics you follow, please don't pull down Indian companies in their bids in foreign countries, at least.

It affects all Indians and even that foreign country.

[Abhishek @AbhishBanerj]

Dear Misinformation Nerd,

Remember that govt cut GST to the bone last year.

And yet, GST collection soaring by 23%

Means people are buying more.

And yes, profit of Indian companies is at all time high

Stock markets can be unpredictable in an uncertain world.

[CultureCheck @culturecheckit]

“Watch cinema as cinema”

Sure, as an entertainment medium, we want to take most films lightly. But it becomes a bad idea the minute the film abuses your trust to push a political/religious agenda.

A small thread on why you must not see films as just films with an example (1/8):

[A Regular Indian @Regular__Indian]

And that's why there is a general hatred for Congress and its supporters in India.

* 2.5 lakh shops out of 3 lakh reportedly shut.
* 3-4 lakh customers, suppliers and dealers didn't turn up.
* 5,000 goods vehicles disrupted.
* 20–25 major markets affected.
And all this on a SUNDAY!!!!!

And this was just 4 days before Dhanteras, during peak Diwali shopping season. Festivals account for approximately 40% of annual sales for Indian businesses.

Mocking traders/shopkeeper for raising concerns is ridiculous.

These businesses pay salaries, rent, taxes and EMIs every month. One peak-season day lost can hurt far more than an ordinary day.

And annualising a festive-season disruption to ₹40 lakh crore? That's not economics. That's stupidity which only Congress supporters are capable of.

[বাংলার টিনটিন @Banglar_Tintin]

Everyone kept asking why the Bullet Train was delayed, but nobody spoke about why the Japanese refused to begin work!

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw laid bare the exact reason:
Uddhav Thackeray deliberately stalled approvals and refused to grant permission for the Maharashtra stretch.

And what was the Japanese partners' strict condition?
"If you don't get the permit for the entire stretch from Mumbai to Ahmedabad, we will not start construction work."

They refused to build a piecemeal project because of one government's stubborn political ego.

Once the roadblocks were cleared, work began at full throttle in August 2021 only, not from 2017!!

[Tejasvi Surya @Tejasvi_Surya]

Bengaluru-Chennai in just 73 minutes and Bengaluru-Hyderabad in 2 hours 10 minutes!

PM Shri @narendramodi Ji has approved the Southern Bullet Train Corridor connecting Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Amaravati and Chennai which will transform connectivity across South India.

This corridor will bring these major economic and technology hubs closer, creating an integrated economic region.

- Union Minister Shri @AshwiniVaishnaw Ji

[Abhishek @AbhishBanerj]

For first time in 47 years, no CRPF jawan had to lose their life in line of duty

50 years of Maoist terror ended

I still cannot believe that BJP got almost no credit for such a big achievement.

[Mukul Dekhane @dekhane_mukul]

. @IndianExpress Nice hit-job, but you forgot to mention basic facts in your own article:

1. Surat Diamond Bourse is NOT a govt project. Not 1 rupee taxpayer money. It's built by 4,200 diamond traders themselves putting Rs 3,200 cr of THEIR money. All 4,700 offices are SOLD OUT. Empty!= unsold.

2. Why 300/4700 operational? Same reason Bharat Diamond Bourse Mumbai took 20 YEARS to become full. Traders bought offices as investment + for future. Shifting a $80 BILLION industry from Mahidharpura (where they've been for 50 years) to Khajod, 15km away, doesn't happen overnight.

3. Global diamond industry is in its worst crisis since 2008. De Beers cut prices, lab-grown diamonds crashed natural diamond by 60%, Russia-Ukraine sanctions, China demand down 50%, now US 25% tariff. Mumbai Bourse is also down 40%. Surat is not empty because of Modi, it's empty because diamond market is down globally.

4. Your own article says - SDB chairman Govind Dholakia (BJP MP) himself is shifting after Diwali, Dy CM Harsh Sanghavi said 1,500 offices to open in next 1 year. First India-UK FTA consignment worth $10 million went from SDB in July, Dubai's Stargems did Rs 500 cr auction.

Calling it "Modi's guarantee failed" for a PRIVATE building during global diamond recession is like calling Wankhede empty during off-season.
A sincere advice to you; Do journalism, not activism!!

[Swalt @isw_alt]

[Anviksha @Anviksha_]

So, the so-called Hindutva government is sending someone abroad to study who made vulgar and abusive remarks against Brahmin women?

[Lt Gen DP Pandey @LtGenDPPandey]

This is awesome. Lost despite fraud but won due to fraud.
Tails I win, Heads you lose.
But the guy is brilliant to be raking in money from rage baiting India while sitting abroad.

[Nirmala Sitharaman @nsitharaman]

Being the LoP @RahulGandhi, I suggest you refrain from politicising every issue. Also, casually labelling commercial and legal matters as criminal is unacceptable.

You have repeatedly decried the successes of Indian industry & our entrepreneurs. Now, are you trying to incite our business leaders to join you in spreading distrust & toxicity?

For decades, your party had smothered the spirit of the Indian entrepreneurs under the stifling ‘Licence-Quota Raj’ & inflicted poverty on crores of Indians.

On the other hand, our government led by PM @narendramodi values the Indian industry as job creators & drivers of economic growth. Our policies have been tailored to enable enterprise, support industry and encourage investment.

Political parties, leaders, governments and institutions share an equal responsibility to support our industry, strengthen our farmers and secure the future of our youth.

Therefore, it is essential to engage constructively rather than casting baseless aspersions to suit your narrow political motives.

The Constitution of India ensures justice to all its citizens & our Honourable Courts are entrusted with upholding it. History is witness to the shoddy manner in which you, your party and the PMs belonging to your party have demeaned the judiciary.
So Rahul ji, refrain from seeing ghosts everywhere.

[STAR Boy TARUN @Starboy2079]

Why you are scared Mr Bhatia

You will get opportunity to argue in the court to prove truthfulness of that film that you distributed and if you fail which you will definitely be then be ready to pay Rs 50 crore

Shame on you, despite of Kolkata highcourt ban, You distributed a fake politically motivated film only to target a tax paying honest corporate who gives jobs to lacs of people, now face the legal consequences

[The Bank Manager @IrkedBanker]

@AbhishBanerj You’re damn good at exposing hypocrisy of liberals my friend @AbhishBanerj . Keep going. Many of us remember the horrible governance of UPA days but few remember the exact details. When you bring such news pieces from past, it really helps our national cause.

[Abhishek @AbhishBanerj]

What GenZ doesn't know..

UPA govt did a severe crackdown on social media accounts of journalists considered "right wing"

Even though social media impact was much smaller at the time.

Even Twitter handles of Kanchan Gupta and Shiv Aroor were blocked.

[Parth~पार्थ @RandomRambles11]

It's wild that he's the first LOP in the world to say that just because he thinks the vote was stolen, your shops, savings, and children aren't safe. Honestly, it sounds like a threat.

He’s telling shop owners and others suffering from the protests that if they want to avoid chaos and disruptions, they must help him remove the CEC.

He'll do anything to become PM 🤡

[Ashok Shrivastav @AshokShrivasta6]

भारतीय सेना दुनिया की सबसे साहसी, अनुशासित और अराजनैतिक सेना है। एक साधारण व्यक्ति भी इस वीडियो को सुनेगा तो उसे आभास हो जाएगा कि भारतीय सेना का कोई अधिकारी ऐसा बयान दे ही नहीं सकता।
वैसे भी यह खुलासा हो चुका है कि यह AI जेनरेटेड वीडियो है। पर उसके बाद भी कांग्रेस की आधिकारिक प्रवक्ता इसे ट्वीट कर रही हैं।
दिलचस्प बात यह है कि अगर सेना के यही अधिकारी अगर कहेंगे कि भारतीय सेना ने पाकिस्तान की सेना या चीन की सेना को मुंहतोड़ जवाब दिया है तो ये लोग उनसे सबूत मांगेंगे।

@Uber @Uber_India @UberIN_Support @Uber_Support
i landed at delhi airport today and had one of the most terrifying experiences of my life with an uber driver. i'm still shaken.

i booked an uber to gurgaon for a 20-minute ride. the fare shown on my uber app was around ₹625. after the trip, the driver showed me a screenshot from rapido quoting ₹1,479 and demanded that i pay that amount instead. when i pointed out that this was a rapido screenshot and not an uber screenshot, he said, “iss route ka itna hi hota hai.”
i paid the ₹625 that was shown on my uber app. what followed was genuinely frightening.

he locked the car and refused to let me take my luggage out unless i paid ₹1,479. when i tried retrieving my belongings, he held my arm and shut the front-seat window where my luggage was, trying to stop me from taking it out.

i somehow managed to get my luggage and tried to enter my house. he followed me, forced the gate, abused me horribly and wouldn't let me go inside peacefully. i finally managed to get inside and lock the door. he then started climbing the gate while hurling abuses and threatening my life.

all of this happened around 4:45 am in gurgaon, when i'd just landed and was simply trying to get home safely.
and it gets worse. i'm trying to reach uber's safety support, and the safety support option isn't available to me. i'm dealing with a terrifying situation involving physical aggression and life threats, and i can't even get through to the platform's safety team.

this wasn't a fare dispute anymore. this was intimidation, physical aggression and a terrifying violation of my safety at my own doorstep.

@Uber_Support @Uber_India @UberIN_Support @Uber, i need an urgent human response, a proper investigation and concrete action. please preserve the trip and driver records and tell me how this is being addressed.

i've used cabs to get around in different countries and never imagined i'd feel this unsafe trying to get home in my own country. how am i supposed to trust a service that i booked specifically to get home safely?
