On this auspicious day of Ashada Ekadashi, I am very happy to announce the launch of my humble attempt to make history interesting.

The idea is actually very very simple
You go to the site, select a year, and It will show you who ruled which part of India at that point in time.
> The King of North Yogi Adityanath in Uttar Pradesh
> Mama of North East Himanta Biswa Sarma in Assam
> Lion of Nandigram Suvendu Adhikari in West Bengal
> Priest King Narendra Modi in Centre
Too much Kanglu Cooking in the coming days!!
India got colonized for 200 years by a trading company that had come to do business!!! That taught us a lesson. We understand bad faith trade negotiations. We understand when Tariffs are used as instrument of coercion and neo imperialism. This is not being skeptical. This is being pragmatic.
I want to know who unbanned all these terrorist accounts. Who? Was cabinet clearance sought? At what level was this decided? On what basis were they unbanned? We’re now putting money into terrorist pockets? @PMOIndia@AshwiniVaishnaw@GoI_MeitY@NICMeity@MIB_India
Pak channels back. Pak actresses’ Insta unbanned. Now India vs Pakistan match in Sept?
Why this soft corner for a hostile nation?
📢 @MIB_India@ianuragthakur@AshwiniVaishnaw : Reinstate the ban immediately. No compromise on national interest. 🇮🇳🙏

Weekends in the constituency are intense. Every Saturday or Sunday, I spend 5-6 hours at my office, meeting 300-400 people : students, pensioners, entrepreneurs, NGOs - cross section of the constituency.
Behind the wide range of issues, one pattern is clear: the enormous, often avoidable cost imposed by our bureaucracy.
Four examples from this weekend say it all.
First, a file requesting grant of land for the Department of Atomic Energy and the National Research Foundation - both Government of India bodies - was rejected by a Tahsildar. His reasoning? The land was “reserved only for government institutions.” He didn’t know they were government institutions!
Second, members of the Jetti community, a recognised OBC group, continue to be denied certificates because only one spelling — “Jetti” — is accepted. “Jetty” is rejected, despite multiple High Court rulings recognising both versions. Students and job seekers suffer, all because of a clerical rigidity.
Third, a metro station on Bengaluru’s Yellow Line has became a flashpoint. Residents of both Rupena Agrahara and Bommanahalli wanted their names represented. A compromise - “Bommanahalli–Rupena Agrahara Station” - was accepted by both sides after mediation by the local MLA and me. But the final file said “B. Rupena Agrahara,” reigniting tensions. We are now back at square one.
Fourth, public sector bank employees who took Voluntary Retirement were wrongly clubbed with those terminated or penalised, and denied pensions for decades. Pensions started after decades of litigation in court but was made prospective. Even after winning the case, arrears remain unpaid - forcing the elderly to keep fighting another round of litigation.
Each of these issues could have been avoided with a little common sense, awareness, and sensitivity. Instead, they’ve led to years of delay, unwanted litigation, and human suffering. And it’s not just people who pay the price - institutions lose time, trust erodes, and the nation is held back.
Policy-making is important. But unless we build a bureaucracy that is responsive, informed, and outcome-oriented, we will remain a nation where delivery fails even when intent does not.
Was it really necessary for the Karnataka government to go overboard just because a private franchise won a cricket tournament?
The Deputy Chief Minister rushing to the airport, the Chief Minister hosting the team at Vidhana Soudha, and organizing such a massive celebration was any of that truly essential? It seems like those in power have forgotten what their real responsibilities are.
Had the entire responsibility of organizing the victory parade been handed over to the police department including permissions, route planning, and crowd control, this unfortunate chaos could have been avoided. The police could have coordinated directly with the franchise to ensure a well-managed event.
Instead, what we witnessed was a political PR stunt combined with fan frenzy — a mix that turned celebration into a mess.
The Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister must take moral responsibility and resign immediately.
This state deserves leaders who govern not event managers chasing the limelight.

These interstate arrests for social media posts (unless it’s clearly demonstrated that it has lead to a law & order situation) is blatantly a misuse of police powers.
