This is a thread 🧵 of random #BharatSarkar cars. It’s like caste system on roads. God only knows if they are truly govt cars or what. Will also post other designations. Others are welcome to post.

इस गिदड़-गधा अर्थव्यवस्था में मौन होना ही उचित है शायद।

क्यूंकि जगत सेठों के कोठी में इस नाचीज़ को शामिल नहीं करते है!

#WATCH | Delhi | Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha performed a special pooja to mark PM Modi becoming India’s longest continuously serving elected Prime Minister.

[Roving Finger @RovingFinger]

@SirJambavan Shit dude. At this point I don’t know if you genuinely believe that or a satirical account. No point in this conversation as our world-views are too far apart.

[Roving Finger @RovingFinger]

@SirJambavan See how Sanjay Van in Delhi is being systematically destroyed by @official_dda. In the middle of one of the last remaining green lungs in Delhi, @LtGovDelhi Saxena inaugurated a LG Cafe! 🤦
Slow effort to make a forest that has golden jackals, nilgai into an urban park.

[Roving Finger @RovingFinger]

@SirJambavan Only a few road in Delhi are that way because our planners tend to discriminate in their resource allocation. Areas like Vasant Kunj, Hauz Khas in MCD are full of 🌳 lined avenues. Cost is not a problem. Lack of any sense of equity, duty and responsive planning is the issue.

@mayurekbote @maveinlux I have Chinese 🇨🇳 locks from 1981. Dad picked them up from Kalimpong. Still don’t get something with that quality and heft in India. The Chinese manufacturer products of varying quality. Indian traders pick the lower end and that guides our perception.

[Roving Finger @RovingFinger]

@pushkal_dwivedi Not any more. When Col Navjot Bal of 2 Para SF passed away in Bangalore, his father (veteran) & brother had to drive all the way to Bangalore during Covid. No support for the family. The great 🦁 of Garhwal could not be bothered. Glory days of fauj gone. Now bootlickers abound.

Time to abolish CBSE Class 12th Board. They don’t have any relevance
University entrance: CUCET.
Medical: NEET
Engineering: JEE

[Anurag Tyagi @TheAnuragTyagi]

Yesterday, a Class 12 student called me.

He had cleared JEE Main.

His parents were celebrating because they thought their son was finally going to become an engineer.

Then the CBSE result came.

His percentage fell just below the 75% eligibility requirement needed for admission to many top institutions.

Now he sits at home refreshing the re-evaluation portal every day.

Not because he wants extra marks.

Not because he wants special treatment.

Just because he wants the marks he believes he earned.

While admission deadlines approach, thousands of students like him are living in uncertainty.

A few marks on a screen should not decide whether years of hard work are rewarded or wasted.

CBSE must ensure that every genuine re-evaluation is completed urgently and that no deserving student loses an entire academic year while waiting for justice.

🤮 The buck never stops with Modi.

[Mahesh Jethmalani @JethmalaniM]

PM Narendra Modi did not inherit a launchpad. He inherited the burden of delayed decisions, weak infrastructure, policy paralysis, broken confidence and a country that had forgotten how to think big.

Since Independence, under multiple Congress governments, India crawled to a $2 trillion economy.

PM Modi’s 12 years: India has crossed $4 trillion. In 12 years, India has moved from hesitation to acceleration. From UPI to ports, from digital infrastructure to defence production, a new India has been unleashed.

And that is a political chargesheet against Congress.

For decades, Congress sold India poverty management as governance, entitlement as economics, and slow growth as destiny. Then they have the audacity to compare India with China, after wasting decades when China was building factories, ports, highways, scale and national ambition.

The China comparison is useless unless Congress first answers one question:

What exactly were you doing for 67 years?

Congress mocked ambition because it never had any.

@narendramodi converted ambition into national policy.

That is the difference.

@SandeepMall You really need to travel outside India. Hope you get the opportunity to do so in your lifetime.

[Roving Finger @RovingFinger]

Wow. @DelhiPolice at it’s finest. Arrested the cook while letting everyone from @IASassociation & @MCD_Delhi go free. Thullas being Thullas @CPDelhi

[Kushan Mitra @kushanmitra]

But what about the MCD officer who took a bribe to overlook this? The Fire inspector who was blind? And the police who let this, and all the other illegal outlets in Hauz Rani, function under their noses?
Arresting a small-time pahadi cook won't change anything.

[Roving Finger @RovingFinger]

@rkadvani69 @malpani I agree. @IASassociation can never be compared to dogs. Pigs is a better epithet.

[Roving Finger @RovingFinger]

@MeghUpdates @ShamikaRavi Economist with no knowledge of how dollar based supply chains are going to lead to massive inflation. 🤡

[Roving Finger @RovingFinger]

Thullas are thullas. From the Raj to Independent India - they serve their masters and oppress the people. @IPS_Association was and remains an instrument of oppression. Changing the name of penal code doesn’t change anything.

[ज़िद्दी नागरिक @ZiddiNaagrik]

An ambulance carrying a critical patient was stopped for 5 minutes to allow the CM's convoy to pass through first in Jaipur. The traffic police can be heard shamelessly saying, “Arrey, oxygen de to rakhi hai yaar... Maine ishaara kar diya hai, band kar de (to switch off the ambulance siren).”

Even a 2-year-old child is aware of Modi's usual script of letting ambulances pass during his roadshows. However, the reality is quite different. His own ministers and CMs are well aware of his theatrics, which is why they don't follow the practice themselves.

@Singhlicious Excellent summary. Tagging FM. You never know - we may end up educating her. @nsitharaman @nsitharamanoffc @FinMinIndia
