"Infrastructure takes years to build."
Correct.
And that's exactly why 12 years is a very long time.
You had 12 budgets.
12 monsoons.
12 years of policy-making.
12 years of administrative control.
So please stop selling 60-year-old excuses for 12-year-old problems.
Buildings collapse on students, and the system looks away.
Citizens light a candle to mourn them, and the boots arrive on time.
Accountability is buried, but silence is enforced.

Santosh Pandit has been sent to judicial custody until September 21 by the court. He has been shifted to Yerawada jail.
Looks like politicians have decided to make an example out of him for speaking against them. It is going to backfire. And less said about our judiciary the better.
Once he’s out he’s going to be unstoppable.
This one man is responsible for taking India back to the dark ages. He is the most tone deaf and unempathetic PM we have ever had. Not a word on the building collapse in Delhi where a lot of students are stuck/dead under the rubble but yes let's celebrate the temple being constructed in Paris. I am pretty sure he will go there for a photo op like he did with the plane crash. Also demolishing/desecrating mosques and churches in India has been normalized but let's celebrate temples being constructed in other countries. We are closing down schools every day, we are spending 12 rupees on midday meals per child, paper leaks happen every year but let's celebrate mandirs being constructed. His politics is only about mandir masjid, maas macchi, hindu muslim and elections. People are dumb fools if they still support him.
If a person who has served as an IAS officer in our country can still harbour such deep seated caste prejudices that a person belonging to the Dalit community is reduced, merely on the basis of caste, to the stereotype of someone fit only for cleaning toilets, then we must seriously ask ourselves how deeply caste based hatred and prejudice remain embedded in our society.
Reducing a person to a particular occupation despite knowing their actual career, qualifications, achievements and profession is not merely an insensitive remark. It reflects a deeply ingrained caste mindset in which people belonging to the Dalit community continue to be viewed through the narrow lens of caste and traditional occupations.
There is nothing undignified about sanitation work or the people who perform it. The indignity lies in using an occupation as a caste based insult and in assuming that a person's caste determines the work they are fit to perform. Such a remark therefore reveals not only prejudice but also the persistence of a mindset that seeks to define a person's worth through their caste.
What makes it even more disturbing is that such prejudice comes from a person who has held a position as significant as that of an IAS officer. A position of authority, education and public responsibility should ideally broaden one's understanding of social realities, not reinforce the very prejudices that society has struggled for decades to overcome.
Perhaps this is a reminder that clearing an examination and becoming an IAS officer may prove one's ability to pass an examination, but it does not automatically make one a better human being or a better person for society.
It is easy to criticise a Dalit person for availing the benefits of reservation or to question the existence of the SC/ST Act, and I am completely opposed to the misuse of either. But before criticising these constitutional and legal safeguards, we should at least pause and ask ourselves what the social condition of Dalit communities would have been in a society where such protections and affirmative measures did not exist, particularly when such deep rooted caste prejudices continue to survive even today.
The irony is that those who display such deep rooted caste prejudice are themselves a reminder of why these constitutional safeguards and protective laws came into existence. One may disagree with caste based reservation, and one may rightly condemn every misuse of the SC/ST Act, but it is intellectually dishonest to condemn the safeguards while ignoring the very social prejudice that made them necessary. If, even today, an educated and accomplished person can look at a Dalit individual and reduce them to a caste based stereotype, then perhaps the real question is not why such protections were provided, but why a society claiming to have progressed still gives us reasons to need them.
This is extraordinary and deeply disturbing.
Delhi Police’s facial-recognition system identified at least 25 people accused of murder, rape and attempted murder as being present at the Jantar Mantar protests - even though they were actually sitting in jail.
That leaves only two possibilities, and both are deeply alarming:
1. The technology is dangerously unreliable. The very system Delhi Police is using to identify and potentially target protesters in Delhi and across the country is so flawed that it is identifying people who were not even at the protest as having been there.
OR
2. The technology isn’t the problem. The police is. Criminals and thugs were deliberately brought to the protest site to provoke violence, create disorder and malign the students’ cause.
Either way, this demands answers.
If the technology is this unreliable, why is Delhi Police using it to profile protesters?
And if the technology is accurate, how did people who were demonstrably sitting in jail end up being identified as protesters at Jantar Mantar?
Delhi Police cannot have it both ways.
It owes the country an answer.
🚨#Announcement
From Day 1, we have not let any student or protester fight this battle alone.
Nishu’s father Sanjay ji’s case is harrowing. Gang members like Swatantra Bhardwaj are openly flaunting that they attempted murder on Sanjay ji who was simply peacefully protesting for NEET students. Sanjay ji was brutally attacked and barely survived.
Therefore, I, along with other Cockroach Janta Party members will reach the Parliament Street Police Station tomorrow at 10 AM and seek justice for Sanjay ji and Nishu.
There is clear admission on the record now. We will not allow Delhi Police to protect criminal gangs in our national capital!

The Ideal Youth in Mo-sha's India -
If she is PG student like Aakriti, who educate children & women in slums for free, and also sang a song at a Labour protest - She would be labelled as Dimagi Naxal & booked under NSA plus attempt to murder charge.
If your child is a criminal like Swatantra Bhardwaj who is the stormtrooper of the Hate-India programme - he will enjoy immunity to such an extent that even when he boasts on camera about his alleged attempt to murder, the police will fact-check him and tell - No it wasn't.
Hence in Mo-sha's India Swatantra Bhardwaj is the ideal youth. Now, it is upto you whether you want your children to live in this country or settle somewhere where the notion of JUSTICE is worth something. 🤌🏾
Neha Singh: Where did you get that stick from during the CJP protest?
Swatantra (showing his shoe): This shoe you’re looking at is a Delhi Police shoe 😳
Neha: What are you saying? 😳
Swatantra: Yes, we roam around as Delhi Police without filling any form. We have all their stuff 😳
@DelhiPolice How is police gear ending up with random people?
#DelhiPolice #CJPProtest #JantarMantar
I feel sorry for the hundreds of patriotic personnel in the Delhi Police who are forced to bow before dishonest and compromised officers, themselves subservient to political power.
Your uniform draws its honour and authority from the people you are meant to serve, not from politicians. Every time you look away from the crimes of politically protected goons while acting against ordinary citizens, you betray both the people and the uniform you wear.
Please look within. You joined the police to uphold the law, not to kneel before power.
Look at the sections under which Mr. Santosh Pandit is arrested. This is ridiculous.
Context - He made a video against MLA in Maharashtra who was in a car with illegal number plate (non-HSRP).
> BNS 75(1)(iv), 75(3) - making sexually coloured remarks
> BNS 356(2) - Defamation
> BNS 352 - Intentional insult given with the intent to provoke a breach of the public peace.
> Section 67 of IT Act - publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form
This is laughable.
I don't give a damn whether Abhijeet Dipke attended Boston University or not.
He isn't an elected representative, minister or bureaucrat paid by my taxes.
If he is raising a valid issue about schools, answer that issue.
Digging into his degree because you can't counter his argument is pathetic.
What a time to be alive.
The culprit himself is confessing that he caused Nishu's father a head injury serious enough for 7 stitches, 307 (attempt to murder), as he explained later.
But Delhi Police is quoting ANI's tweet as a fact-check. Lol.
Allow me to tell you what exactly happened after BJP-protected goon Swatantra Bhardwaj's attack on Dalit man Sanjay at our Jantar Mantar protest:
- Sanjay ji's skull was cracked open. The wound dimensions were of such great size that it obviously warranted an Attempt to Murder charge in the FIR (Section 307 of IPC).
- The Police refused to add that charge.
- This Section would've led to his immediate arrest as it is a cognizable and non-bailable offence.
- To avoid this arrest, the Police flat out refused to add this Section.
- We asked that at the moment, the "grievous injury" section be added (Sec 326) which would also lead to his immediate arrest.
- DCP Sachin Sharma, ACP Ajay Sharma flatly refused.
- Not just this, they told us on our faces "go get a court order"!
- The expert medical opinion has still not been received by us.
- The other gang members who were accomplices of Bhardwaj have also not been identified so far, despite several of them making reels immediately after the attack and threatening Sanjay's minor daughter Nishu openly.
- Now Bhardwaj openly flaunts of Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra pressuring the Police to release him from the Police Station and not to add any strict sections that can lead to his arrest!
So tell us why should Mishra not be made an accomplice in the FIR since he illegally interfered with the course of justice? Why should he not resign for protecting gang members and abusing his office? Does BJP's leadership support this?
Imagine your company told you last year that your salary was ₹86,000.
This year, it pays you ₹88,000. That is an increase of roughly 2.6%. Not impressive enough? No problem. Welcome to Modi School of Economics.
The company simply rewrites its old records and declares that your salary last year was not ₹86,000 but only ₹80,000, thanks to a convenient "new methodology". Suddenly, the same ₹88,000 salary is advertised as a spectacular 10% increase.
Then a brass band is stationed outside your house to celebrate this "historic financial miracle".
That's exactly what the Modi govt has done with GDP, according to former Finance Secretary and Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg, who has raised questions about the Modi govt's celebrated 7.8% GDP growth figure.
The govt is beating drums across the country, with Prime Minister Modi presenting the number as another monumental achievement of his govt. But look beneath the headline and the statistical circus begins.
For the April–June 2025 quarter, the govt had originally estimated India’s GDP at current prices at approximately ₹86.05 lakh crore.
But when it came time to calculate growth for April–June 2026, the figure for the same quarter last year was revised downward to approximately ₹80 lakh crore.
Just like that, nearly ₹6 lakh crore vanished from last year's economy.
This year's GDP was estimated at ₹88.27 lakh crore.
Now look at the mathematics.
Using the figure originally announced by the govt:
₹86.05 lakh crore → ₹88.27 lakh crore
Nominal growth works out to only around 2.6%.
But after shrinking last year's figure to ₹80 lakh crore:
₹80 lakh crore → ₹88.27 lakh crore
Nominal growth suddenly jumps to 10.3%. Adjust it for inflation, and voilà, the govt gets its headline figure of 7.8% real GDP growth.
Bravo!
Growing the economy rapidly was apparently difficult, so the previous year's economy was made smaller instead.
According to Garg's argument, had last year's GDP figure not been revised downward, nominal growth would have been only around 2.6%. After accounting for inflation, real growth would have been close to ZERO.
So before Modi and his ministers injure their shoulders patting themselves on the back, they must answer a basic question.
Did India's economy actually grow spectacularly, or was last year's measuring scale simply rewritten to manufacture a spectacular-looking growth rate?
Because changing the baseline is not an economic miracle.
It is statistical makeup applied to an economy whose pain ordinary Indians experience every single day.
