🚨News from Odisha

BJP's caste politics again!!

"SEBC Commission has been constituted to assess the political representation of SEBCs and their political backwardness in local self-government institutions."

In 2022, 27% quota was denied in local bodies elections.
Now they are trying to bring it back.

BJP govt will spoil Odisha also with this Caste politics.

They are breaking Hindu community with their Caste politics.

Stop them!!

[क्षत्रिय इतिहास RAJPUT HISTORY @rajputr_itihas]

The main reason for our victory was that my friend Niharika had prepared data, that SCs, STs and OBCs have 69% representation

In last five year , 50% of the open-category seats was taken by OBCS

court has mentioned this in its order.

thanks YFE 👇👇

Is this the worth of Honorable Supreme Court Verdict on equality for the BJP govt? That they are ready to defy it for appeasing Jarange patil?

Looks like vote bank appeasement is the top priority of BJP rather than Constitutional values!!

[BJP West Bengal @BJP4Bengal]

ABP News has corrected their mistake. Will Bhaipo and other fake news mongers apologise? Their intentions are well known but will they now accept their mistake?

[BJP West Bengal @BJP4Bengal]

Bhaipo’s rumour factory is working double shifts because their actual performance report is a big zero. Chhapa vote is TMC’s habit, not our strategy. TMC claims there are only 772 voters when the official count is 1,109. Just another piece of cheap fake news from a party that can't count straight.
They might need fake numbers and fake votes to survive, but we stand on the genuine trust of the people of West Bengal!

[Grok @grok]

Key disadvantages of allowing Starlink in India include:

National security risks: Foreign-controlled network limits India's ability to shut off service in sensitive border areas or ensure availability during crises. Past reports of terminals with militants or smugglers raise misuse concerns.

Data sovereignty issues: Laser links could route traffic outside Indian gateways, complicating monitoring and lawful interception.

High costs: Hardware and monthly fees likely far exceed affordable terrestrial options like Jio or Airtel, limiting rural access.

Market impact: Could disrupt local telecoms and foster over-reliance on a single US provider instead of domestic alternatives.

🔥 JUDGE ON FIRE: Brahmin Man Fears Being Framed in SC/ST Case — Judge Questions Police Role

A Brahmin man in a house dispute tells the court that fear of an SC/ST case has forced him to run away. The judge immediately questions the police role and asks the lawyer to understand what the man is saying.

Judge: What business does the police have getting involved in all these cases? Is the police taking it upon themselves to decide whose house should be vacated and whose house should not?

Lawyer: Let me explain the facts to you first. Only then can we discuss the matter.

Judge: We will have you file an affidavit setting out the facts. But first, let me ask you something. We have repeatedly told you that when matters like this come to the court through a common citizen, it is never easy for an ordinary person to fight against the might of the State.

What is that man saying?

He is saying that the Officer-in-Charge of the police station knows what powers he has in his area. He says, “We are running away out of fear because they threatened to implicate us in an SC/ST case.”

Do you understand what that person is saying?

He knows the power that the Officer-in-Charge has.

Judge: He is afraid that they will frame him...

NOTE: Brahmins TV has been unable to independently confirm whether the affected person is a Brahmin. We have described him as a Brahmin based on the identity being circulated and the social-media discussion surrounding the video. Viewers should treat this aspect as unverified unless further evidence emerges.

Brahmins TV – Unbowed. Unafraid.

[OpIndia.com @OpIndia_com]

One family filed 21 cases under the SC/ST Act, 14 against a single family, forcing them to face 42 court hearings every month.

Villagers told us that the ‘oppressed’ family received ₹46 lakh in compensation. People now fear speaking about it openly.

But off camera, everyone tells the same story about a ‘business model’ built around SC/ST cases.

How a law meant to prevent atrocities became a tool for profit. Watch @Keshavmalan93’s special investigation to find out.

MANUSMRITI, CHAPTER 3, VERSES 267 THRU 272:

tilairvrīhiyavairmāṣairadbhirmūlaphalena vā,

“By the proper offering of sesamum, rice and barley, māṣa, water, roots and fruits, men’s pitṛ (ancestors) are satisfied for one month.”

dvau māsau matsyamāṃsena trīn māsān hāriṇena tu,
aurabhreṇātha caturaḥ śākunenātha pañca vai.
“For two months by fish-meat; for three months by the meat of deer; for four by that of sheep, and for five by that of birds.”

ṣaṇmāsāṃśchāgamāṃsena pārṣatena ca sapta vai,
aṣṭāvenasya māṃsena rauraveṇa navaiva tu.
“For six months by the meat of goat; for seven by that of spotted deer; for eight by that of the black antelope, and for nine by that of the Ruru deer.”

daśamāsāṃstu tṛpyanti varāhamahiṣāmiṣaiḥ,
śaśakūrmayostu māṃsena māsānekādaśaiva tu.
“They are satisfied for ten months by the meat of boars and buffaloes; and for eleven months by the meat of the hare and the tortoise.”

saṃvatsaraṃ tu gavyena payasā pāyasena ca,
vārdhrīṇasasya māṃsena tṛptirdvādaśavārṣikī.
“For one year by cow’s milk and milk-preparations; and by the meat of old goat there is satisfaction lasting for twelve years.”

kālaśākaṃ mahāśalkāḥ khaṅgalohāmiṣaṃ madhu,
ānantyāyaiva kalpyante munyannāni ca sarvaśaḥ.
“The porcupine, the meat of the rhinoceros and the red goat, and honey serve for endless time; as also all kinds ok her mit’s food.”

GARUDA PURANA, ACHARA KHANDA, CHAPTER 97, VERSE 72:

palāṇḍulaśunādīni jagdhvācāndrāyaṇaṃ caret,
śrāddhe devānpitṝnprārcya khādanmāṃsaṃ na doṣabhāk.
“The use of garlic or onion in food, should be atoned by performing a Cāndrāyaṇa penance. The use of any cooked meat on the occasion of Śrādha ceremony, and after dedicating it to one’s departed pitṛ does not entail any sin.”

Even your scriptures don’t respect your “sentiments.”

@Felumittirr see, BJP is becoming TMC day by day

[Shachin Patra @ShachinPatra]

Even for BJP's own Rajya Sabha MPS (not defected ones), the retention rate is very low (10-15%). If we don't consider the senior most peoples in center or the minsters, the number is even lower. So, there is very little chance that they will be reelected.

Here is Grok's answer to what% of BJP Rajya Sabha MPs are reelected?

There is no single official published figure for the share of sitting BJP Rajya Sabha MPs who have been reelected. Recent election cycles and the party’s own practice point to a low renomination rate, typically well under 20%.In the early-2024 biennial round, the BJP renominated only 4 of 28 outgoing Rajya Sabha members (about 14%): J. P. Nadda, Ashwini Vaishnaw, L. Murugan and Sudhanshu Trivedi. Reporting at the time noted that no outgoing member already on a second or later term was repeated except Nadda (heading into a third term). In the October 2026 Uttar Pradesh round, the party nominated eight new faces and renominated none of its sitting members whose terms were ending (including ministers Hardeep Singh Puri and B. L. Verma).Coverage of the party’s selection process describes an informal post-2014 norm of rarely giving anyone more than two terms, and of shifting senior figures (especially ministers) toward Lok Sabha contests rather than automatic Upper House renewal. Wikipedia’s list of current BJP Rajya Sabha members (roughly 110–118 depending on the date) shows only a minority with a documented prior term—examples include Nadda, Nirmala Sitharaman, S. Jaishankar, Vaishnaw, Trivedi and a handful of others, several of whom first entered via a by-election and were then given a full term. Most entries list a single appointment https://t.co/OuDL4GnTZJ the practical answer is that roughly 10–15% of outgoing BJP Rajya Sabha MPs have been renominated in recent cycles, and a similar minority of the current contingent is on a second or later term. Exact percentages move with each biennial batch and with by-elections.

@Felumittirr Good. You had to go back to 2021. I like it.

[Shachin Patra @ShachinPatra]

The identity of a political party is determined by its policies, not people. What it wants to do, how it wants to do it and not who is doing it. If the policy remains the same but people change, the arty remains the same. On the contrary, if the policies changes, the party changes even if the same people remains.

Bringing down rhino poaching to ZERO and eliminating poachers is way more easier than bringing down the inherent racist mentality of the relics of the Colonial empire.
