They rushed to implement E20 without fixing the contamination problem first. E20 with contaminated fuel became the perfect recipe for ruining petrol cars.

They remained in denial mode. Now, after the customer-powered backlash, they are accepting the fundamental issues because everything is being blamed on E20.

Very satisfying, because they killed the car lover in us.

BJP’s hands are steeped in theft.

In Uttarakhand, BJP workers are filing bulk applications to delete voters.

In the Kichha constituency, 99% of all deletion requests came from a single objector—a BJP booth-level agent. He alone filed 4,855 objections, and every single voter he targeted is a Muslim.

This is especially disturbing in the context of what is emerging from West Bengal.

By August 7, SIR tribunals had decided only 82,782 of 38.1 lakh appeals. Yet, of those appeals decided to date, 91% of the names have been restored to the voter rolls — albeit after the election has concluded and a government with a stolen mandate has already been formed.

SIR is the BJP's tool to rig elections.

पहले फूड डिपार्टमेंट में हाहाकार मचाई, उन्हें सुधारा और अब चिकित्सा क्षेत्र में आ गए।

हम बात कर रहे हैं FDA कमिश्नर IAS तुकाराम मुंडे की जिन्होंने कल पुणे में Cipla फॉर्मा का लाइसेंस रद्द कर दिया।

Cipla फॉर्मा में तुकाराम मुंडे को दवा के प्रचार और लेबलिंग के लिए ऐसी चीजें मिली हैं जो नियमों के विरुद्ध हैं।

इसमें उन्होंने बड़ी कार्यवाई करते हुए Reactin Plus दवा का लगभग 11.19 लाख का स्टॉक जब्त करके मार्केट में गईं इस दवा को वापस मंगाने का आदेश दिया है।

अब FDA कमिश्नर तुकाराम मुंडे एक एक क्षेत्र में घुसते जा रहे हैं और यही डर लोगों को उनके सही ट्रैक पर ले आयेगा।

Top 10 stories of the day:

I have compiled multiple clips from a programme on Subramanian Swamy's YouTube channel featuring Gitanjali Angmo — co-founder of the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives, Ladakh. In it, she calls for removing "secular" from the Constitution, wants Sanskrit as the national language, endorses the Ram Mandir and a "Hindu Rashtra" and rejects the Aryan Invasion Theory.

I have a strong suspicion, Modi is personally monitoring Abhinav Pandey's Instagram account.

This guy has spent a lot of time at Jantar Mantar and he has accurately analysed GenZ.

Modi is taking tips from him and implementing them in a hurry for damage control. 🤣

Thanks to independent journalists that the nation could hear the unfiltered, uninhibited & spontaneous voices of students & their parents from Jantar Mantar. The mainstream media almost stayed away & was mostly painting these students as anti-national, in the studio.
Grateful to these journalists.
And especially to @ajitanjum ji, who has been roaming around the protest site relentlessly & trying to separate students' viewpoints from political opinions. 🙏

Insane that a man who hammered the daylights out of the Pak Air Force in a ground attack mission on Chaklala in '71 where he blew up the personal aircraft of the legendary Gen Chuck Yaeger (then advisor to Pak) is today asked to prove his identity in order to vote.

[RAHUL @RahulSeeker]

He, Admiral Arun Prakash, a decorated veteran awarded the Vir Chakra, Vishisht Seva Medal, Ati Vishisht Seva Medal, and Param Vishisht Seva Medal for his service to the nation is now being asked by @ECISVEEP to appear at a hearing and prove his Indian identity.

Let that sink in.

STAY WITH ME.

A few years ago, a patient was referred to me because he was diagnosed with complicated cirrhosis. He had an infection which led to a condition called hepatic encephalopathy (brain failure due to high ammonia levels). The treatment largely involved ammonia reducing therapies. One drug was central to this - Rifaximin - a non-absorbable antibiotic that reduced ammonia in the body. I prescribed him Rifaximin for 6 weeks and advised him follow-up.

He came back to me, not after six weeks, but in 4 weeks, this time, in liver coma (worst stage of brain failure - due to very high ammonia). He spent two days in the ICU and six days in total in the hospital. His hospital bill was close to INR 80,000. He had no insurance and his wife borrowed the money from neighbors and friends to clear hospital dues.

Upon questioning, I found that he was not taking the Rifaximin drug I had prescribed. He was only on the other two drugs (one, a syrup called lactulose for improving ammonia clearance in gut). I was furious, because the patient spent a whole week unecessarily in the ICU and wasted so much money that he never had - just because he was "not compliant" to my orders. I decided it was time for me to school him a bit.

But I was wrong. He was compliant. He had purchased Rifaximin and was on it. For 15 days. Thereafter, he could not afford it. He was an autorickshaw driver who shuttled school children every morning and evening. He could hardly make ends meet. He had two children of his own. The Rifaximin brand I prescribed him was 42 rupees per tablet. He had to consume two a day - which would mean 2520 rupees a month. He just did not have that money - so he skipped it - to not compromise on other important matters - childrens education and food.

He was confused and scared about opting for a cheaper version of Rifaximin because one, he was unsure about the quality of Rifaximin that was not prescribed by me and two, he was "scared" that I would scold him for buying a cheaper Rifaximin and if that got him into trouble.

I was confused and scared about prescribing a cheaper version of Rifaximin because one, I was unsure about the quality of Rifaximin that was not "a good promoted brand" and two, I was "scared" that his family would scold me for prescribing a cheaper Rifaximin and if that got him into trouble.

It is heartbreaking that many doctors still simply don’t trust generic medicines. Too often, they worry that these cheaper options are lower quality or might cause more problems than the big, famous brands. This fear leads them to prescribe expensive drugs instead, and the real tragedy is that it pushes vital healthcare out of reach for the ordinary people who need it most - like my patient.

This narrative, that generic drugs 'are never good' and that only big pharmaceutical marketed drugs are what works has been deeply ingrained into doctors and patients alike - I do not know by whom and since when. Looking back, these strong emotions were based on either opinions, testimonials or second- and third-hand information. Not evidence.

Like I said. Stay with me. This is life changing and will disrupt the drug market in India. Here are the results of The Citizens Generic vs. Brand Drugs Quality Project.

I am genuinely surprised why more people in India aren’t talking about this openly.

If you want clean drinking water, you have to buy a water purifier and then pay 18% GST on it.

If you want clean air, buy an air purifier again, 18% GST.

If you want 24×7 electricity, don’t rely on the grid buy an inverter.

If you want quality education for your child, forget government schools, you have to go private, where fees run into lakhs.

Government schools are not even a serious option for most middle-class families.

If you want good healthcare, you go to a private hospital and once you step inside, your bank balance starts bleeding. Many families literally take loans to survive medical emergencies.

Now leave all this aside.

Even pure food is hard to get.
Paneer is adulterated.
Dal is artificially coloured.

Street food?

Nobody knows what’s being mixed dirty hands, sweat, sometimes worse. We just hope nothing happens.

Try walking outside:
• Footpaths barely exist.
• Vehicles come from all directions.
• People don’t follow lanes.
• Potholes everywhere.

One wrong step and:
you might get hit by a vehicle, or
you might fall and injure yourself

And who takes responsibility?
No one.

Ask questions and suddenly you’re:
• called deshdrohi
• told to “go to Pakistan”

Why should expectations from my own country be compared with Pakistan?

When India plays cricket, do we compare ourselves with Kenya or Zimbabwe?
No.

We compare ourselves with Australia, England, big teams.

Then why, as a country, shouldn’t we compare ourselves with: China, the USA, Japan, Australia other large economies?

People say “India is Vishwaguru.”

If that were true:
• why are so many millionaires leaving India?
• why are top celebrities and athletes settling abroad?
• why do people with money still choose foreign education, healthcare, and passports?

Loving your country doesn’t mean staying silent.

Asking questions is not anti-national.

Expecting clean air, safe roads, honest food, affordable healthcare, and quality education is not a crime.

Patriotism is not blind worship.
Patriotism is demanding better because we believe India deserves better.

If this made you uncomfortable, maybe it needed to be said.

Share it.
Talk about it.
Silence won’t fix anything.
