#WATCH | Delhi: At the NDA leaders' meeting, Andhra Pradesh CM N Chandrababu Naidu says, "I have never seen him tired for the last so many years. He is always energetic. Not only energetic, but he will also give energy to others. That is how he is maintaining himself... All surveys indicate who is a very popular leader globally, that is our Prime Minister. That is our pride for the nation. We are very happy for that. Wherever you go, Indians and India are well respected because of you. Our goal is to become the number one economy globally. That is possible only through our Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji. It is going to happen one day. This is India's defining moment, the beginning of a golden era. Our faith in his leadership is complete. Our commitment to the people is unwavering, our resolve to build a Viksit Bharat by 2047 is unshakeable..."

@BefittingFacts Mohua Moitra trying to do a coup 🤣. As I said its game of Thrones. Abhishek and Momoto Targaeryan are Jamie & Cersi and Mohua is actually Daenerys Targaeryan now the issue is who isJohn Snow as there are so many but actually PK may have be the one
When the then BJP President JP Nadda ji was attacked at his own Diamond Harbour Constituency, Abhishek Banerjee said from public stage— Today JP Nadda has fallen in a Gadha (pit). What can I do if they face up with 'Public Rage', that responsibility is not mine to take.
It isn’t ego. It is when central power grows large, the smaller ones feel threatened. That is a standard power cycle. As BJP grows large even erstwhile sympathetic ones feel antagonistic. Everyone loves bjp of ABV. Not everyone likes BJP of Modi. 😁same happened with Hindavi swarajya.
Everyone liked swarajya of Shivaji Maharaj. But not of Bajirao-1 or Nanasaheb-1. Because by then the swarajya had covered most of India.
The weapons that you see in the photo were previously thought to date from the 3800–3000-year-old period. They were often associated with the widely promoted but incorrect theory of Indo-Aryan migrations from Central Asia that brought Indo-European culture to India. However, recent tests on them have revealed that they are contemporaneous with the Harappan Civilization. This discovery is credited to the outstanding work of Dr. @AmitRaiJain1 and his team. It has opened a new chapter in our understanding of the Indian and Eurasian Bronze Age.
🚨 JAPAN JUST TESTED A MACH 5 RAMJET ENGINE AND IT COULD MAKE TOKYO TO LOS ANGELES A 2-HOUR FLIGHT.
Researchers from JAXA and several top Japanese universities have completed a successful ground combustion test of a ramjet engine designed for a Mach 5 hypersonic aircraft.
The test simulated real flight conditions at 25 kilometers altitude and Mach 5 five times the speed of sound with temperatures exceeding 1,000°C.
Why this matters:
• Ramjets have no moving parts and use the aircraft’s own speed to compress air, making them ideal for extreme velocities
• The team proved stable combustion and effective heat management using advanced thermal protection systems
• A Mach 5 aircraft could theoretically cut the Tokyo–Los Angeles journey from ~10 hours to just 2 hours
• This is a major step toward practical hypersonic passenger travel (target: 2040s)
The deeper implication is enormous:
We may be watching the slow but steady rebirth of ultra-fast global travel.
After the Concorde era ended, many thought hypersonic passenger flight was too difficult and expensive. Japan’s progress suggests it might not be science fiction after all.
What happens when the Pacific becomes a short hop instead of an all-day journey?

A not so small achievement by our scientists at DRDO was missed by headlines. India is now part of an elite cohort, only the 7th Nation to crack Gallium Nitride Chip Technology. These chips are relevant as they’re used in advanced radar and electronic warfare systems on modern fighters.India’s entry into the GaN #technology club is about Atmarnirbharta. Made possible by #DRDO and #scientist Dr. Meena Mishra.
🚨Bengal’s First Oil Field Finally Set for Production After Years of Delay, Ashoknagar Oil Field Can Produce 240 Million Barrels Oil.
After years of political deadlock, regulatory uncertainty, and stalled industrial momentum, West Bengal’s first major oil field is finally moving toward production. The Ashoknagar Oil Field, discovered by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation in 2018, is now being positioned as a strategic breakthrough for both India’s energy security and the revival of Bengal’s struggling industrial economy.
Located in North 24 Parganas, barely 50 kilometers from Kolkata, the Ashoknagar field was once described by ONGC as a potential “game changer” for Eastern India.
Surveys indicated reserves of nearly 240 million barrels of oil equivalent, along with significant natural gas and condensate deposits, a scale large enough to reshape the energy landscape of the region.
For nearly seven years, however, the project remained trapped in limbo.
Land-related disputes, environmental concerns, compensation issues, and intense political friction between the Centre and the previous state administration prevented production from taking off. Even after investments of nearly ₹1,000 crore had already been committed, the project failed to move beyond the planning stage. Repeated appeals from Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri for cooperation reportedly went unanswered, despite the strategic importance of the field.
Employment generation is another major factor. From pipeline infrastructure and refining support to transportation, maintenance, engineering, and ancillary industries, the project could create thousands of direct and indirect jobs in a state that has seen large-scale migration due to industrial decline.
The economic upside for the state government is equally massive. According to earlier estimates highlighted by the Petroleum Ministry, the value of recoverable oil could reach nearly ₹45,000 crore, with West Bengal itself expected to earn around ₹4,500 crore in direct revenue over time.
If production finally begins at full scale, Ashoknagar could become the foundation of an entirely new energy and industrial corridor in the region.
**Public info on exact daily commercial output for the full Ashoknagar field is limited so far.**
Early test data from the discovery well (Ashoknagar-1) showed potential flow rates of roughly **15-18 cubic metres of oil per day** (about 95-113 barrels/day) and **100,000 cubic metres of natural gas per day**.
The approved Integrated Field Development Plan involves multiple wells and phased ramp-up once the final PML deed is signed and infrastructure is in place. ONGC hasn't released detailed target daily rates for peak production yet, but output is expected to scale gradually after startup (oil within ~10 months of lease execution, gas ~17 months). I'll keep an eye on official updates as things progress.
**Yes, the core facts check out.** ONGC discovered the Ashoknagar oil field in West Bengal in 2018 with estimated reserves of ~240 million barrels of oil equivalent. There were years of delays over land, regulatory hurdles, and the Petroleum Mining Lease (PML).
Provisional PML was granted in Feb 2025. As of Dec 2025, the Centre and state were finalizing the lease deed, with Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri stating production was imminent ("maybe another few weeks"). ONGC has started preparatory work.
**Tentative timeline:** Per the approved Integrated Field Development Plan, oil production is projected to begin within ~10 months of final lease deed execution (gas within ~17 months). No exact start date has been publicly confirmed yet, but recent reports indicate it's moving forward. This could be a big economic boost for the region if it ramps up successfully.
Where are the illegal Bangladeshis that got deleted in SIR??
These Bangladeshis are leaving India after their voter card got deleted in SIR. Now since BJP govt came to power these pests understood that they have no choice but to leave before getting deported forcefully.
🚨M&S manager in Colchester boots woman out for asking where the women’s changing room is.
Claims gender neutral areas are “completely safe” for women and girls then tells her to leave.
Woke corporations erasing single-sex spaces and women’s comfort.
Total madness.
@sushantsareen@VMuppi There must be a reason for action on #DGC. And the club principals know what it is.
It's dismantling the old Lootyens order. It is much needed after 70+ years and will happen regardless of outrage.
By all means run a bulldozer over Delhi Gymkhana. But don’t give the bullshit of exclusivity or privilege or tax payer money. If thats the standard we are living by then shut down Constitution Club; demolish the CSOI where govt land was given at throw away price to babus; shut down DSOI; take back all newspaper properties on BSZ Marg; Take back all lands given to NGOs which are profit centres; demolish IIC and Habitat Centre; stop subsidised food in parliament. MPs get paid so why should their food be subsidised? if they cant afford it, step down from parliament and do something that pays you enough. Shut down the Air Force and Army Golf Clubs, Santushti Centre, Race Club, and the Delhi Flying Club where no one flies anything. The DGC is being targeted because someone has an axe to grind and didnt get membership. Now its being made an elite vs non-elite fight which it isn't. But since we all want to play Bolshevik commies or are inspired by CCP and Khmer Rouge to demolish everything nice, decent, genteel, lets do a comprehensive job of it. Make it all a animal shelter which would warm the cockles of Pol Pot's heart. But please don’t give the BS of security because that is total hogwash. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
