My deepest tributes to former Prime Minister, Bharat Ratna Shri #AtalBihariVajpayee Ji, on his Punya Tithi.
A statesman, poet and visionary whose idealism, leadership and unwavering service to the nation continue to inspire me.
Forever grateful for his guidance, warmth and the values he lived by.
He is missed, but never forgotten. 🙏
केरलम में तो कांग्रेस सरकार ने हदें पार करते हुए स्वतंत्रता दिवस समारोह से ‘वंदे मातरम्’ को पूरी तरह हटा दिया। कट्टरपंथियों के सामने घुटने टेकना अब कांग्रेस की स्थायी नीति बन चुकी है। तुष्टिकरण की गंदी राजनीति के ���िए उन्होंने उन हजारों स्वतंत्रता सेनानियों का अपमान किया है, जिन्होंने इसी गीत को अपने होठों पर सजाकर देश के लिए बलिदान दिया था। यह केवल एक गीत रोकने की घटना नहीं, बल्कि उस परिवारवादी अहंकार की निशानी है, जिसके तहत कांग्रेस को भारत की हर उस चीज़ से चिढ़ है, जिस पर इस राष्ट्र को गर्व है।
Nobody can intimidate @BJP4Keralam karyakartas.
@PinarayiVijayan tried it for 10 years. It did not work.
@VDSatheesan will try the same now.
BJP is a party built by karyakartas.
If Congress tries to use lawfare against us, every karyakarta will come out on the streets.
I have known Union Minister @JoshiPralhad ji for many years.
He is one of the BJP's senior-most leaders and among the most decent politicians I have known.
@RahulGandhi and @priyankagandhi, who are neck-deep in corruption, talking about Pralhad Joshi ji... is simply ridiculous.
If there is no trust in examinations, trust in education collapses.
If there is no trust in education, the nation's development dreams will also be dimmed.
That is why the strict measures announced by Prime Minister @narendramodi ji are so significant.
Exam security is not the responsibility of any one political party alone. The Central Government, State Governments, testing agencies, educational institutions, and society at large must all work together.
At the same time, this issue must not be viewed solely through the lens of political gains and losses.
And we must beware of those who seek to hijack the legitimate concerns and emotions of our youth, pushing them towards violence and anarchy.
I will always stand firmly with my Prime Minister and my country. I will always stand against anyone who seeks to undermine India's leadership and democracy.
My editorials on this issue have appeared in five Malayalam newspapers @janmabhumidaily@mathrubhumi@kerala_kaumudi, mangalam, @metrovartha today.
I look forward to reading your thoughts in the comments.

"I, Rajeev Chandrasekhar..."
A historic day. A great responsibility.
Honoured to take oath as the MLA for Nemom and represent the people of Nemom who placed their trust in me.
The work for #VikasitaNemom, #VikasitaThiruvananthapuram, and #VikasitaKeralam begins now.
#PoliticsOfPerformance
The BJP will always stand with our youth.
❌ Keralam has the highest unemployment in the country
❌ PSC rank holders are forced to protest on the streets for jobs they have rightfully earned.
❌ Our youngsters are forced to eat mud in protest to be heard.
❌ The State Government has taken an additional Rs 10,000 crore in debt in just 2.5 months.
Yet, CM @vdsatheesan is busy sightseeing in Delhi instead of solving the problems of Keralam's youth.
Where has this Rs 10,000 crore gone? Has it created even a single job?
The youth of Keralam deserve better.
Next week, I will meet the Education Minister to discuss the PSC rank holders demands.
We will also raise this issue in the Assembly.

#WATCH | Thiruvananthapuram, Keralam | On Sonam Wangchuk breaking his indefinite fast, BJP State President and MLA Rajeev Chandrasekhar says, "Yesterday, the Prime Minister in the morning talked about fast-track courts. Last night, he issued a video. 100% of the demands of students that their justice must be served have been agreed to by the PM. Now there is nothing that remains. Those who are guilty of leaking papers will be investigated, prosecuted and sent to jail. That is the assurance of our Prime Minister. They will be sent to jail. Now, the students should go home, wait for these things to happen and look forward to a better future, work hard and build Viksit Bharat."
"Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party are big on drama, big on theatrics, and as you can see here, when there are children that are fighting for their rights, the Congress party will not do anything."
#WATCH | Thiruvananthapuram, Keralam | BJP State President and MLA Rajeev Chandrasekhar says, "This is the ridiculousness and hypocrisy of the Congress Party that a Chief Minister of a state that has the highest unemployment in the country will go there (Delhi) and talk about unemployment and education of children where his own children are sitting on strike here. They're eating mud here. They want what their right. They have to be given jobs. They have passed an exam. But instead of doing that, the CM in the last two and a half months has taken an additional debt of Rs 10,000 crores. Where has that money gone? Has one job been created? Have any of these youngsters been given jobs? These are questions that he should answer."
"The BJP will stand by every youngster's right to good education and good jobs. We will stand by them. We will raise their issue in the assembly. We will talk to the education minister and demand that their rights be fulfilled."
Congress, CPM and anti-national forces, take note!
There will be no forgiveness for those who insult our Prime Minister @narendramodi ji.
We will not allow anyone to subvert our democracy or weaken our national security.

A NIA-wanted fugitive in the Yuva Morcha Karyakarta Praveen Nettaru murder case lived in Keralam for nearly three years.
Every Malayalee deserves answers.
The arrest of PFI terrorist Abdul Nasir raises serious and deeply disturbing questions.
❓ How could a NIA-wanted fugitive live in the heart of Kochi for years without being detected?
❓ Who gave him shelter?
❓ Who protected him?
❓ Is it believable that the State Home Department and Keralam Police had no knowledge of his presence?
This is exactly why I have repeatedly warned that the politics of appeasement practised by both the CPM and the Congress poses a serious threat to India's security.
When it comes to choosing vote-bank politics over the safety of Malayalees, the Congress and CPM are not two, but one.
Randalla. Onnanu.
They have consistently opposed and passed resolutions in Assembly against key national security laws brought by the Central Government.
They continue to put appeasement before India's security.
They have mainstreamed radical organisations like SDPI and Jamaat-e-Islami in State. And they've created an ecosystem where extremist networks believe they can operate with impunity.
That is dangerous for Keralam. That is dangerous for India.
Unlike the past, Keralam Assembly now has three BJP/NDA MLAs who will question, protest, and hold both Congress and CPM accountable on issues of national security.
#SurakshitaKeralam is the foundation of #VikasitaKeralam.

Thiruvananthapuram, Keralam: State BJP Yuva Morcha President V Manuprasad says, "Reports are coming out about the irregularities in the Public Service Commission (PSC). Students are raising their concern in connection with this . Yuva Morcha is continuing protest against this across the state. Major protests conducted in Thrissur, Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram districts. We will continue this till this issue is resolved..''
Penned an Op-Ed on Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee's life, emphasising his diverse accomplishments, be it Vice Chancellor, Minister, political leader and more. Highlighted his unparalleled efforts in boosting India's unity. The removal of Articles 370 and 35(A) in 2019 remains a fitting tribute to his efforts.

An auspicious beginning for #VikasitaNemom 🙏
Began the day with a Ganapathy Homam at our upcoming Nemom MLA office, along with our hardworking karyakartas.
The office is in its final stages of preparation and will soon be fully operational and open to the people of Nemom as a dedicated centre of service - a place where every citizen can reach out, be heard, and find support.
A new chapter of public service and development for Nemom begins here.
#IthanuMattam #PoliticsOfPerformance
Now things will move!
Had a detailed discussion with Hon'ble Union Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw ji in New Delhi on the comprehensive development of the Nemom (Thiruvananthapuram South) Terminal project. He assured me that the project will be expedited.
Along with former Chairman of the Railway Passenger Amenities Committee, Shri P.K. Krishnadas ji, we also discussed modernising railway infrastructure and improving connectivity across Keralam, including additional train stops at several stations.
This is the #PoliticsOfPerformance in action - working to deliver world-class infrastructure and next-generation connectivity for all Malayalees.

Heartfelt birthday wishes to dear Rajeev Ettan, who gave me an opportunity, stood by me, and inspired me to move forward with confidence during a difficult phase of my life.
Forever grateful for your guidance, support, and trust.
Happy Birthday rajeevetta❤️🙏
This is the change. 👏
Congratulations to Thiruvananthapuram Mayor @VVRAJESH_BJP, Deputy Mayor @AshaNath_G_S, Standing Committee Chairpersons, and the entire BJP/NDA team of councillors.
For the first time, under the Mayor Care initiative, 5,050 educational kits were distributed to students from economically weaker families across the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation through CSR support and citizen participation.
This initiative reached deserving students across the Corporation, irrespective of ward or political affiliation.
Serving people, solving problems, and improving lives are at the core of BJP/NDA politics.
This is #PoliticsOfPerformance.
