A journalist friend recently made this point. Back in the UPA years, if you broke a big story, you had the reasonable expectation that it would matter because TV news would pick it up and make sure everyone heard about it. 2G, Commonwealth, Vadra land deals — broken by newspapers, amplified by TV. Today, reporters can spend months uncovering something important and still wonder if it will have any impact at all. Because the amplification layer is gone.
I hope that everyone is aware by now that all such events happen at public expenses.
Those dancers are booked through some company and have to be paid(They didn't come on their own to welcome the joker as the post claims). The hall is booked at a substantial cost for all this drama. The cameraman too.
One of the basic rules of leadership is leading by example. So what happened to austerity push and difficult times? Sab theek ho gaya kya?

@navikakumar@thevirdas But your style of Journalism is no less than Stand-up comedy. @navikakumar. Remember this? This is how you and @RShivshankar read out names of 30 Chinese Soldiers after they received a fake WhatsApp forward. 🙄
@mssakshinarula To be fair. Those retweets were before we got the tragic news.
You can go to "replies". We see a series of Modi retweets, later desperate replies to the news regarding his son being missing.
Karnataka govt has approved free bus passes for all school & college students travelling on buses operated by KSRTC, BMTC, NWKRTC and KKRTC.
Govt will bear an estimated cost of Rs 286.08 crore for the scheme & an additional Rs 15 crore towards processing fees & accident relief fund charges.
Students can apply through Seva Sindhu portal. Existing eligibility norms will continue.
Fees collected from students who obtained passes before the scheme's implementation will be refunded within 15 days. The benefit will also extend to border-area students studying across state boundaries @tdkarnataka@KSRTC_Journeys@BMTC_BENGALURU
In bhai ke saamne desh ke sabse bade national channels ka mic hona hi is desh ki downfall hai. Aise losers ka opinion national news hai hi kyun?! Matlab sadke banke nahi de rahi hain, inhe Biryani ka naam badalna hai. Ek toh inhe koi bata de ki Biryani Hindus ka bhi fav hota hai.
ये भाई वेज बिरयानी का नाम बदलकर पुलाव रखना चाहते हैं। इनके हिसाब से 'बिरयानी' शब्द हैदराबाद से आया है।
वैसे हम इनकी मांग के समर्थक हैं, लेकिन 'पुलाव' शब्द तो सीधे पर्शिया यानी ईरान से आया हुआ है!
I don’t understand why people are blaming our almighty PM Modi and his government for paper leaks, exam scams, unemployment, inflation, stagnant wages, or collapsing public trust in institutions. These are microscopic issues. A few million students losing faith in the examination system is obviously less important than another 4K drone shot of a highway inauguration.
It’s not like an entire generation is spending years preparing for competitive exams only to discover that merit is competing against corruption. It’s not like recruitment delays have become so normal that people age out of eligibility while waiting for results. It’s not like every few months another exam controversy emerges and the response is always outrage, hashtags, committee formation, and then collective amnesia.
And surely people are mistaken when they point out that accountability in this country seems to flow only downward. A student caught cheating becomes national news. An official failure affecting lakhs of students becomes a technical glitch. A citizen asking questions becomes anti-national. A politician avoiding questions becomes a statesman.
The opposition is blamed for problems when it is weak. The opposition is blamed for problems when it is strong. Previous governments are blamed after one year, five years, ten years, and apparently even after fifteen years. At this rate, if Delhi gets rain tomorrow, someone will find a way to connect it to Nehru.
The real genius is not governance. The real genius is narrative management. Convince people that asking questions is disloyalty. Convince them that criticism helps the enemy. Convince them that demanding accountability during failures is somehow more dangerous than the failures themselves.
Unemployment? Look at nationalism.
Paper leaks? Look at Pakistan.
Inflation? Look at GDP.
Institutional decline? Look at the stock market.
Public frustration? Look at a viral reel of PM giving melody to meloni.
Everything is a distraction from something else. Every question must be answered with another question. Every criticism must be met with outrage rather than explanation.
The saddest part is that citizens have started expecting so little that functioning institutions are now considered a luxury. Students don’t ask for excellence anymore; they ask for an exam that isn’t leaked. Job seekers don’t ask for opportunity anymore; they ask for a recruitment process that actually finishes. People don’t ask for transparency anymore; they ask for basic honesty.
But yes, the real problem is definitely the people complaining. Not the leaks. Not the failures. Not the lack of accountability. Not the culture where image matters more than performance.
Because when a government spends more time protecting its reputation than fixing its mistakes, criticism becomes inevitable. And when citizens are repeatedly told to stay silent and be grateful, frustration doesn’t disappear, it accumulates & eventually explodes.
An elderly Muslim man was arrested for calling the CM a "gunda." Yet RW influencers continue to abuse opposition leaders with impunity, because they know the ruling govt has their back.
They can’t conduct an examination in a fair manner, they expect the world to believe that they can conduct elections in a fair manner!
The rigging of tenders, the corrupt practices, the purposeful incompetence of the HRD ministry exposed in the NEET and CBSE examinations not only damages the future of student, but also harms India’s global reputation.
The minister Pradhan must be sacked for this damage done to India, and the millions of students who appeared for it.
In an age where the students are supposed to be figuring out their future, the teenagers have figured out the CBSE scam and exposed it to the world!
Where had the union regime taken India to?
@ni5arga@cbseindia29 good morning CBSE, you said you used scanners to scan these copies,
now since the copies are out to the public view, do you mind explaining
which copies when scanned through a scanner, have a drop shadow? and these 3 folds?
did you really use scanners?
