"free spirited" India chahiye bhadwo ko...
Aur wo kaise milega? Yes, you guessed it right. By "brute force"-ing anyone who disagrees with them.

Very free and spirited.

"13 crore names" is the number every TV debate on the Election Commission's SIR now starts from.

You get media to repeat that number ten times and it becomes the fact. Almost nobody has asked what is inside it...

@TheJaggi breaks it down. What the 13 crore actually contains:

- 2.8 crore listed as dead
- 6.3 crore flagged as possible permanent migrants
- 1 crore duplicate registrations
- ~3 crore simply absent from home when enumerators called
- Every one of these can be restored on appeal (except the dead..)

These numbers - the scale of them - is UNREMARKABLE at India's scale:
- Up to 1 crore Indians die every year
- The last SIR was 2002-04
- at least 10-12 crore voters have died since
- and most never came off the rolls (nobody files a deletion for the dead)

How about migrants?
- India's internal migrant population is around 45 crore
- 6.3 crore flagged as migrated is a fraction of that
- Wrongful deletions are probably under 50 lakh nationally
- half of one percent of a roll approaching 100 crore

The two mind traps doing the work:

FIRST
- Anchoring: the first big number sticks.
- Vinod Rai's Rs 1.76 lakh crore "presumptive loss" on 2008 telecom licences came with three lower estimates
-only the biggest survived

SECOND
- Loss aversion: a voter who fears deletion shouts louder than the 99% who were never touched
- Result: "millions and millions" disenfranchised (Justice Ujjal Bhuyan at Nalsar) and "90 lakh knocked out in Bengal to help the BJP" (Rohinton Nariman)
- neither claim came with a denominator

It's not like EC is all OK, they've also goofed up but not that badly:
- It never stress-tested its process for a country where every gross number is huge
- A once-in-two-decades purge was always going to throw up figures this size
- roll-cleaning has to be continuous
- The appeals route for wrongful exclusion has to be stronger than it is now

I think Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das may be heading for serious legal trouble. If they are produced before the magistrate again for an alleged breach of the bonds executed by them, the court may consider appropriate legal action, including judicial custody, in accordance with the applicable law.

This image of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge being made to wear the Batman mask by Rahul Gandhi is according to me the lowest point in Kharge Ji’s political career. We all could guess how the dynasty treated him inside, in closed rooms, but was there a need to insult him in front of the entire world? I wonder why Kharge Ji allows them to treat him like this? Make no mistake, this is not some form of affection but condescension and arrogance.

Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar was elbowed out of the protest by Rahul Gandhi yesterday in Delhi, but his treatment of Kharge Ji is far worse. The dynasty is insulting and trampling with the reputations of its own leaders and the big communities they represent. This is about biting the hand that feeds the Congress.

Rahul Gandhi will pay for this. His own leaders will make him pay for the insults he has heaped on them, very soon.

Sorry to say but seeing the current pace of gun killings in Punjab, people from other states who fear coming here aren’t wrong.
Not a single day without a murder, encounter or a targeted killing.

The loss of lives in the boat capsizing incident in Vaishali, Bihar, is deeply painful. My thoughts are with the bereaved families in this difficult time. I pray for the speedy recovery of all those injured. The local administration is assisting those affected.

An ex-gratia of Rs. 2 lakh from PMNRF would be given to the next of kin of each of those who lost their lives. The injured would be given Rs. 50,000: PM @narendramodi

Gyanu for CEC Gyanesh Kumar
Surya Kant for CJI Surya Kant
----
- This is being done deliberately.
- The idea is to strip the person from his constitutional post and the protection which comes from it.
- That ways the person can be held accountable in the 'peoples court' for alleged acts of corruption. And even treason as per Rahul Gandhi's charges against CEC Gyanesh Kumar.
- This also undermines the institution of Supreme Court of India and the Election Commission of India.
- The end game is to force paralysis in the system and force the PM to resign.

Tamannaah Bhatia is becoming my fav day by day 🚨

Sahiba Bali has a history of taking digs at Hindus. First, she laughed at Kashmiri Pandits and now she was using Maa Durga to target Delhi Police.

Tamannaah literally cooked her for asking people not to link the Kashmir genocide with peacefuls, but now she's the one linking brutality with Hindu festivals.

You won't see Hindus bringing up Osama bin Laden before festivals of peacefuls, but somehow Hindus are the oppressors. Really great to see Tamannaah doing a 9 day fast and standing up for her faith 🙏

Rajiv slapped the CM of AP in public
Rahul shoved & elbowed the CM of Karnataka in public

No one can accuse the Gandhi family of favouring one over the other
