@ShwetaSharma236 Flour does not expire. It will be labelled Best Before BB . Normally such BB items are sold on discount as they are still "useable". Only medicines expire & not food products.

[Vasanth Chandra @VasanthChandra]

@BJP4India,@PMOIndia It is perhaps unfair to assign treasurer responsibilities to an union cabinet minister holding such a heavy portfolio like Commerce. Unfair to Govt , party & himself . One man one post is an ideal policy for best results .

[BhikuMhatre @MumbaichaDon]

Most interesting development in BJP's New National Team!

.@PiyushGoyal Ji back as National Treasurer of BJP.

Not many know but such is his acumen in Election Analysis that he was the only leader who had precisely told then President Pranab Mukherjee that BJP is getting 280+ seats on its own, when 3 other senior leaders had predicted around 240 for BJP & majority for NDA.

He was National Treasurer that time too & had also headed the BJP's Information, Communication & Campaign Committee in 2014 GE.

He is going back to same role means BJP is gearing up big for 2029 GE.

Will be interesting to see if he continues as Union Minister for Commerce & Industry as BJP has "One Person, One Post" Policy. But I think, BJP must do an exception & must let him continue in same post too considering his tough bargaining skills & the way he has stood strong despite all pressures from US.

A Gem that is needed by both, Modi Sarkar & Organisation of BJP.

Congratulations Piyush Ji💐

If it is not Real juice but adulterated with any chemical ,manufacturer is to be taken to task & not the distributor or Retailer .

[Mahi Mishra @MahiMishra98]

A woman orders real fruit juice from Zepto for her home.

When she opens it, something black comes out!

After seeing this, she is shocked and checks the expiration date of some fruit juice, only to find that it is still left!

But the point is that mixing chemicals in fruit juice and selling it to people is wrong. People drink it to improve their health!

However, drinking it daily will only worsen their health. Unless it was adulterated, how could it turn black before it expires?

The government should shut down companies that lie to customers and sell substandard products.

@sardesairajdeep ,@ARanganathan72 , this temple theft is happening everywhere all over India . You need to mount a campaign to stop this .

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

REVEALING: Another day, another temple theft under scanner, this time in famed Ambaji Mandir in Gujarat. Viral video shows temple employee hiding currency notes under his feet while counting cash! Three accused have been booked following a complaint by temple administration. Police probe ongoing (incident happened on May 5).

@TIDCO_1965 ,@CMOTamilnadu What is the value of TN govt investments at Titan then ,when the land was allotted ?

[Balu Gorade @BaluGorade]

Did you know? 👀

The Tamil Nadu Government is the largest shareholder in Titan.

Why?

In 1984, the Tata Group wanted to set up a watch company in Hosur.

The Tamil Nadu Government wanted investment, factories, and jobs.

So, through TIDCO, it invested in the company and became a co-promoter.

More than 40 years later, TIDCO still owns 27.88% of Titan.

That stake is now worth over ₹1.1 lakh crore.

One of the best examples of patient capital in Indian corporate history.

MINISTER KRISHNA BYRE GOWDA KICKS OFF FOOTPATH VEHICLE CLEARANCE DRIVE ON QUEENS ROAD

[Vasanth Chandra @VasanthChandra]

@Krishnabyr70233 @CMofKarnataka Clearing footpath is the best thing that is happening to Bangalore . Most believe that after few days footpaths will host all those traders again ? Please your team will have to be on it every day all the time .Added supervision cost is worth it .

[Krishna Byre Gowda @krishnabgowda]

Not just encroachment removal. We have also started repair of damages to the footpaths to improve walkability. We will spend ₹ 70 CR on repairs to footpaths.

ಕೇವಲ ಒತ್ತುವರಿ ತೆರವುಗೊಳಿಸುವುದಷ್ಟೇ ಅಲ್ಲ. ಪಾದಚಾರಿ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಹಾನಿಗೊಳಗಾದ ಭಾಗಗಳನ್ನು ದುರಸ್ತಿಪಡಿಸುವ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನೂ ಆರಂಭಿಸಿದ್ದೇವೆ, ಇದರಿಂದ ಜನರು ಸುರಕ್ಷಿತವಾಗಿ ಮತ್ತು ಸುಗಮವಾಗಿ ನಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಅನುಕೂಲವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

ಪಾದಚಾರಿ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳ ದುರಸ್ತಿಗಾಗಿ ₹70 ಕೋಟಿ ವೆಚ್ಚ ಮಾಡಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ.

@ARanganathan72 ,@V_H_P I feel this theft at temples is happening everywhere Govt or private . With the awareness Ram temple has created ,hope nationwide measures will be put in to stop this theft .

[Anand Ranganathan @ARanganathan72]

The Ram Mandir donation theft is not just an insult to Hindus but to every Indian, for the Ram Temple stands as a symbol of Indian civilisation. That it has been defiled by those entrusted with its care is truly shocking. The guilty should be punished severely.

My views:

[Vasanth Chandra @VasanthChandra]

@doddaganesha ,@Vikas662005 ,@BCCI
Even Nitish Reddy selection is highly debatable .

[VIKAS @Vikas662005]

🚨 Many questions on ODI team selection 🚨

- Washington Sundar selection.
- Why no Jaiswal, Ruturaj in the team ?
- No Siraj & Jadeja in the team.
- Jadeja ODI career over ?
- Six pacers in the team.

[Vasanth Chandra @VasanthChandra]

@nsitharaman ,@BJP4India ,@Tejasvi_Surya Ex Karnataka CM followed the rule that telling a lie 100 times will carry people with him. BJP/Central Govt should shout the truth 1000 times from the roof top to silence the lie .BJP MPs should put forward facts to set record straight .

[Nirmala Sitharaman Office @nsitharamanoffc]

Under SASCI, the State also received over ₹18,000 crore in Union-funded, 50-year interest-free loans for infrastructure, over and above the recommendations of the Finance Commission .

For 2026–27 alone, Karnataka’s budgeted devolution is ₹63,000 crore, which is equal to 76% of what it received over the entire UPA era (2004-14).

The Union government under the leadership of Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi believes in & works with the spirit of cooperative federalism.

@nsitharaman ,@VSOMANNA_BJP @BJPindia__ Madam these aspects somehow are not highlighted by your party functionaries . It is such a milestone contribution but neglected totally by all Govt / party PR . Very strongly suggest this be looked into .

[Nirmala Sitharaman Office @nsitharamanoffc]

Over 12 crore household toilets, nearly 15.85 crore rural tap-water connections, 10.5 crore Ujjwala connections and free food grains for over 81 crore citizens show how welfare delivery is changing lives of crores of Indians on the ground.

We're taking the approach of saturation governance, ensuring that development reaches the last person in the queue.

@doddaganesha ,@BCCI @RCBTweets Today going by IPL performance ,Rajat Patidar is a better choice for India T20I captain than Shreyes Iyer , Tilak Varma or Akshar Patel or any one else for that matter .

[Dodda Ganesh | ದೊಡ್ಡ ಗಣೇಶ್ @doddaganesha]

It would be bonkers stuff if Rajat Patidar makes his T20I debut for India both as player and captain. I’m definitely not ruling out this possibility. After all he’s led RCB to two back to back IPL titles #TeamIndia

[Vasanth Chandra @VasanthChandra]

@BJP4India ,@navikakumar If BJP has followed Annamalai's views of going solo in TN , BJP would have done far better than aligning with ADMK . Then BJP would have been a Contender with TVK . One can say it is hindsight. In no state BJP should align with any regional outfit .

[BhikuMhatre @MumbaichaDon]

Rumours on Annamalai leaving BJP to form new outfit!

~Is it pressure tactic to get RS berth which is reportedly denied & hence outrage?
~Is it real annoyance over BJP aligning with AIADMK against his wish?

But 1 thing sure- Nazar & Sabr, both missing!

@Tejasvi_Surya ,@blrcitytraffic ,@ChristinMP_ Yes students parking is a serious menace on the Bull temple road near BMS colleges . I am sure all students vehicles can be parked inside the college premises . Please explore this option seriously & oblige.

[Save BASAVANAGUDI Heritage @SaveBasavangudi]

Bull Temple Road, Basavanagudi | 26-05-2026 11:53 AM

College of engineering students parked bikes/cars blocking house gates daily.
Resident owner cannot take out his own car. See photo. trying 112 to clear, everyday need this?

This is "unauthorised parking mafia!!???" around colleges. Gated houses held hostage.

@GBA_Comm @BlrCityPolice @DCPTrSouthBCP
@acpsouthtrf
@basvanguditrfps

Qa1. Tow vehicles blocking gates - Sec 122 MV Act
2. Book vehicle owners + fine Rs 1000/vehicle
3. Permanent "PARKING at NO Parking area -
Gate blocked "

Who has to provide parking for engineer's students

Residents are not free parking lots. ATR in 48hrs pls.
