@ChristinMP_ @DKShivakumar @DKShivakumar should remove all drain encroachments, install water inlets across the entire stretch of ORR, ensure daily drone monitoring and maintenance by corporation workers, and set up a special ORR monitoring crisis centre for this. Only then will this resolve over time.

BJP-RSS is trying everything to secure a two-thirds majority in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha-

-Breaking MPs

-Breaking political parties

-Cancelling the nominations of Rajya Sabha candidates

-Asking Opposition Rajya Sabha MPs to resign

Dear citizens, they are not against opposition, they are against you.

We need to save the Constitution.

Jai Samvidhaan. 🇮🇳

Now China Rejects Chilli From India, After Rice Ran Into Trouble in May

The rejection of chilli shipments from India is a blow to the exporters, who rely on the country for the largest bulk purchases from India.

When US sided with PAK in the ‘71 war, Indira Gandhi told Nixon to back off.

When US mistreated Indian diplomat, Manmohan Singh removed all security from US embassy.

When US killed 3 Indians in a ship attack, Modi thanked Trump for calling him great leader.

That’s BJP for you

Oh bhai..😭😭

Today I was watching Dhurandhar-2 in Hotstar and burst out laughing.

Humza informs that ₹60,000 crore fake currency is coming for the UP elections.

So our Great Visionary leader immediately takes action and announces Demonetisation.

Meanwhile, just a few seconds later, Humza burns all the fake currency.

Bhai, jab burn hi kar diya tha, toh Demonetisation karke desh ki GDP growth 8.5% se 4% kyun gira di?

Meanwhile,1% GDP loss is roughly ₹2.5 lakh crore.

UP Corruption free ho gaya..

Mandir tak mein Ghotale ho rahe hai..

🤣🤣🤣

Serious Defence Scandal!
HAL has filed a police complaint against Tec Aero Devices (Hyderabad-based supplier) for submitting fake certificates on 172 aircraft parts for India’s Tejas fighter jet programme.
This is a matter of national security and national defence. The supplier should be raided by ED immediately!

Earlier my full tank used to cost ₹3300.

Now the same tank costs ₹3567.
That’s already ₹267 extra.

But the real damage is mileage.

Earlier:
16.5 kmpl average

Now:
11.5 kmpl average

If I drive 1,650 km a month:

Earlier fuel needed:
1,650 ÷ 16.5 = 100 litres

Now fuel needed:
1,650 ÷ 11.5 = 143 litres

Extra fuel consumption:
43 litres more every month.

At around ₹101.90/litre,
monthly extra expense = ₹4,382 more.

So effectively:

₹3300 tank became ₹3567
+
₹4382 extra monthly fuel burn because mileage crashed.

Middle class is paying more money to travel the same distance.

[Military Observer @TheMilObserverr]

⚠️🇮🇳 A Hyderabad supplier forged 199 test reports for Tejas Mk1A components.

HAL caught it during routine quality checks and filed an FIR on June 2.

Here is what happened:

• Tec Aero Devices supplied components across 18 purchase orders from 2022 to 2023
• Tests for tensile strength, hardness, NDT and salt spray were all faked
• The supplier even sent HAL an apology letter admitting two wrong reports then HAL audited and found all 199 were forged
• The actual lab named on the reports confirmed its name and signatures were stolen and misused
• HAL debarred the firm for 3 years and filed a criminal case

India is building a fighter jet for its frontline air force.

One corrupt supplier with fake paperwork can ground that entire programme.

This is not just fraud. It is a national security failure

This programme is already delayed by over 2 years.

It is fighting engine shortages, software delays and now a supplier that was faking safety critical test data for a combat aircraft.

🇮🇳 India's Atmanirbhar defence dream only works if the supply chain is honest.

The new Rs 2,000-crore road package arrives when progress on previously sanctioned road works remains limited

Corporations have achieved about 15% progress under the Rs 1,000-crore ward road grant and roughly 10% under the Rs 1,250-crore arterial road package.

[Mohammed Zubair @zoo_bear]

So @Iran_in_India Iran Embassy calls out claims aired by @anjanaomkashyap and @aajtak about the economic crisis in Iran.
When an official embassy issues a direct rebuttal, shouldn't viewers be told about the rebuttal or atleast both sides of the story?

Congratulations for the longest serving Supreme leader of India. His Chief of staff Narendra Modi also surpassed the longest tenure in Adani Enterprises as Employee.

An MLA's salary is roughly Rs 2 lakh/month. If their declared assets grew from Rs 80 lakhs to Rs 12 crore in five years, the math simply doesn't work. That affidavit is public — check it on https://t.co/ec8mXTshi7 right now. Have you ever looked at your own MLA's numbers? #ElectoralTransparency

One more Indian ship has been attacked near Oman coast today

Yesterday Two Indian sailors killed and one missing after US Navy attacked Indian oil tanker ship

Prime Minister Modi has not even said a single word about it yet, but thanked Trump immediately after he made a formal congratulatory post for him 🤡

Data Centres Guzzling Bengaluru Groundwater

31 Data Centers in Bengaluru

Each Data Center Consumes 20 Million Litres Of Water Per Day.

The Founders of Bengaluru City built more than 1,000 lakes in the City to recharge groundwater. Today only 100 of them are fully functional.

Law Minister Kiren Rijiju is taking 75 judges and senior lawyers on a 6-day holiday trip to London - all at the expense of Indian taxpayers money.

What happened to Modi's call for Indians not to travel abroad?

[Pragnya Gupta @GuptaPragnya]

Where is this man⁉️
He once was the Election Commissioner of India, Rajeev Kumar.
Today he is in the hiding.
He can’t move about freely and openly in India.
Gyanesh Kumar will also need to find a place in some corner of the globe to hide and fade away eventually.
Such a shameful, disgraceful life where an entire nation is looking for them to pull them up for letting them down so horribly.
What they did amounts to Treason.
They are Anti Nationals.

Modi Govt's breaking down of existing iconic govt buildings, like Vigyan Bhavan, Udyog Bhavan (already gone), Krishi Bhavan, Nirman Bhavan
and Shastri Bhavan
(I worked for years in all, except Krishi & Vigyan)
is a RACKET and building stodgy buildings there is a BIGGER RACKET.
