Lok Sabhas won by the BJP in #2024GeneralElections saw massive targeted deletions of voters from communities who were less likely to vote for the party. Like Muslims, Yadavs & Jatav.

V-P Dhankhar now swears by RSS's 'unimpeachable credentials' and defends it in Parliament.

30 yrs ago, he tore into RSS for its "extremism" and wondered if it should exist in parliamentary democracy.

Last yr, I wrote a piece on his political journey. https://t.co/WAzInURVfH

The reason we can call out hateful shows & importantly the companies that sponsor such vile content is cos we don't need their or ANYONE's advertisements. We depend on you. Lets change the model together. Click here

8/8. Nothing indicates that the marriage of the millennium had the enthusiastic approval of ‘most Indians.’ But it certainly won (or purchased) the hearts and pockets of a nauseatingly narcissistic elite. These are not just Nero’s Guests, these are Nero’s Hosts. #ambaniwedding #psainath

Exclusive: Accused in Godhra asked #NEET candidates from Odisha, Bihar, Maharashtra, Rajasthan & UP to pick Gujarati as their language as their language to fill their OMR sheets.

A must must watch well researched video by @maheshperi explaining the real reason why NEET is a scam. It tells you that NEET has nothing to do with merit but a reservation for the rich.

- A Dalit girl filed a molestation case against a BJP leader.

- The accused killed her brother and disrobed her mother when she refused to withdraw the case.

- This week, the victim's uncle was killed. Also the Dalit girl died after “falling from the ambulance”.

- This is not a movie script; it happened in MP’s Sagar . Still, there has been no outrage, no drama by NCW.

Is it possible that social justice and Hindutva live together? The political editor of The Indian Express is testing conscience of its readers.

Interestingly @IndianExpress tagline is journalism of courage. Indeed, it takes courage to present stupidity as political philosophy.
