A lot of people are like, "He shouldn't be PM because he isn't a strong leader."

He marched across the entire country on foot. He endured 12+ years of relentless attacks and mockery of his family. He has exposed multiple scandals of the current regime.

But honestly, none of that is the most important part.

The most important thing is,
You can talk to him.

He is far more likely to listen, hold press conferences, answer questions, and be held accountable. There will never be a perfect Prime Minister. We don't need a perfect one.

We need an accountable one, someone who listens, acts, and can admit when they're wrong.

The Telegraph editor’s passport not being renewed in Kolkata

Note from R. Rajagopal
Former Editor, The Telegraph
——-
In March this year, my name was deleted from the Ballygunge constituency electoral roll in Kolkata, apparently because the Special Intensive Revision process could not trace either my name or that of my late father in the 2002 voters' list. My father, a Gandhian, retired professor and former State Secretary of the Gandhi Smarak Nidhi in Kerala, passed away in 2016. I remain unable to understand how a conscientious voter like him could have been absent from the rolls.

Like nearly 27 lakh other residents of West Bengal, I was excluded on account of what were described as “logical discrepancies”. No reason was furnished even after I submitted my matriculation certificate, and my appeal is now pending before one of the tribunals constituted pursuant to the Supreme Court's directions. As a consequence, I was unable to vote in the recent election.

More distressing has been the fate of my passport renewal application. Although I completed the biometric formalities on March 19, 2026, police verification has not been cleared because my name no longer appears on the electoral roll. Despite submitting several alternative documents, I have been informed that they are insufficient. In fact, today (June 27, 2026) is the 100th day since my biometrics for passport renewal were taken. I was formally informed last week by the passport-issuing authority that Kolkata Police sent an adverse report, citing the deletion of my name from the voters' list. I have been asked to appear before the Regional Passport Office in Calcutta "immediately" but when I sought an appointment, without which it is difficult to gain entry, the date granted is July 17, 2026.

In between, our daughter, a journalist in California, got married in San Francisco on April 17. Needless to say, it would have been impossible for me to attend the wedding in the absence of an active passport, notwithstanding my possession of a valid ten-year US visa.

For all practical purposes, I find myself in a state of civic uncertainty although recently the government iterated that a passport is no proof of citizenship. Much of my time is now consumed by efforts to reconstruct family records and secure documents dating back several decades….

My days begin with checking my voting right appeal status and then the passport tracker. Then I write to the college where my mother taught in 1965 and to her school from where she passed out in 1959, asking for any document that proves she existed. The school has been very helpful but not the college. Similarly, I speak to prohibition campaign activists in Kerala, running down a list I collected after coming across an activist's name in a group by chance, asking for any news clipping or photographs that show my father campaigning against illegal liquor vends and communalism.

Some close friends and public figures have helped me in all these efforts. However, I am unaware if any media outlet or journalists' association or guild (of which I am not a member) has shown any interest in my situation. A senior journalist reminded me that this situation is by no means unique as "rejection" has been the daily certainty confronting millions of Indians for centuries. I accept that point.

My intention has never been to project myself as a victim. Rather, I have wanted to underline a larger point: if someone who spent his professional life in journalism and edited a relatively known newspaper can encounter such difficulties, one can only imagine what the truly marginalised must endure. Did I approach any newspaper? No, because I do not want it to become an issue concerning me. Do editors and journalists know about my issue? Of course, several do. If they don't, they should not be in the profession, don't you think?

Yet, the complete silence of newspapers on this issue has confirmed my suspicion, now reinforced with personal experience, that so-called mainstream journalism has little to do with my life. I do not "read" any newspaper now. I glance at some but hardly find anything that piques my interest.

He doesn’t have the luxury of normal democratic conditions like institutional fairness, media plurality, financial parity, and the rule of law that is applied equally.

I write ✍️

Still, @RahulGandhi has chosen to fight with what might seem the most inadequate of weapons: moral clarity, ideological consistency, and human empathy. 

@Ram_Guha Ramchandra Guha, after terrible decision to support Modi in 2014, now, searches for  another messiah.  He risks repeating the error: demanding perfection from an opposition leader who is overcoming unfair limits, with hands tied, facing constant hardships and battling the elements. Guha fails to recognise these chains and fetters.

It takes tremendous courage to be democratic in the absence of democratic space. To stand up for an idea knowing fully well that there is huge personal cost to be paid for it. 

Rahul Gandhi knows that he will be attacked and vilified. He knows his supporters will be attacked and vilified. But he still fights on. His approach can best be described in the words of Kabir, who understood about the nature of moral commitment in a hostile world:

कबीरा खड़ा बाज़ार में, मांगे सबकी खैर।
ना काहू से दोस्ती, ना काहू से बैर।।

कबीरा खड़ा बाज़ार में, लिए लुकाठी हाथ।
जो घर फूँके आपना, चले हमारे साथ।।

Dictatorial systems do not allow democratic functioning to proceed on level terms. If someone is standing firm within such a system, refusing to be broken or bought or diverted, there has to be a reason rooted in the quality of their leadership.

That’s why I support Rahul Gandhi in this war against our Constitution and our democratic values. Modi is deeply scared of Rahul; he’s panicking, and it’s a good sign.

Yes, I’m a journalist, and don’t give me that “journalists should be neutral” argument. These are not ordinary times.

I like Rahul, but I’m unbiased. I’ll call him out if he’s wrong. Check my timeline; I often criticize his party. But what can I do about him? He personally doesn’t make such mistakes. He’s not spreading hate messages or using derogatory words for his opponents. Also what he says today tends to come true tomorrow. He is unlike your hollow politicians.

🚨 INDIANS STAY ALERT: Toronto-based 🇵🇰 Pakistani Sadiq Ali is running a vicious anti-India troll empire to flood the internet with hate and incite violence against 🇮🇳 Indians and Hindus.

Here's how he operates 👇🏻:

> Heads the shadowy TF-2990 network, linked to Pakistan’s military propaganda wing DGISPR

> Commands 40+ secret Telegram groups where he directs hundreds of fake “larp” accounts posing as Indians

> Pumps out morphed videos, filthy memes, and god-mocking content using keyword tricks to hijack algorithms

> Orders mass cross-posting across X, TikTok, Instagram and YouTube for maximum viral spread

> Actively pushes to normalise extreme hatred, with the chilling goal of making attacks on Indians seem routine

A coordinated info-war machine exposed. Kudos to @AgniVesa_07 for this investigation. 🇮🇳

[mukhtalif jaadugar | مختلف جادوگر @MJaadugar]

sounds like a huge chunk of anti-Indian online material came from a Pakistani Canadian named Sadiq Ali

Interesting to see the total silence on this topic from left-wing "South Asian" diasporoids who claim to be advocates for South Asian representation and solidarity

[Harsh @Abrakakhobra]

Rahul is fighting a battle neither Indira nor Rajiv had to fight.

Government agencies, media, leftist, rightist, centrists and even former allies have lined up against him.

Yet he continues to stand his ground without compromising before power.

That’s why I want RaGa as PM.

Our daily lingo, thesaurus, and expression bank for sharing all sorts of emotions in life with every other Malayali came from his rich reservoir of legendary lines and expressions, giving the people at both ends so much joy just by seeing his face and expressions on those stickers and GIFs. While surrounded by equally talented peers, he carved out a distinctly unique path, delivering his lines and expressions in a way that was uniquely his own, and became a true legend soon enough!

Farewell, Salimetta! You are and will always be an irrefutable part of our lives! Thank you for making our lives so much more bearable with your unforgettable performances.

This useless cabinet achieved 187% GDP growth (versus under 100% in the last 12 years), under this cabinet the Rupee was not Asia’s worst currency like today, and our stock market was not the world's second-worst performing stock market. It didn’t shut down 93,000 public schools like your paw paw, maintained petrol at 50–60 INR without ethanol blending despite 100–147 USD crude oil, and preserved a strong RTI and relatively free media. Furthermore, it levied no STT, LTCG, or STCG, enabling middle-class wealth growth and stability. Under its watch, India's per capita was not less than Bangladesh like today, income inequality was not worse than the days of the British Raj like today, and Taiwan did not overtake India in stock market capitalization.
