@Neha_S_Patel Jan Dhan - Not easy to open account .
UPI - IMPS was always there. just a unique simpler id has been given to each account .
GST - All reforms and not necessarily improvement . It made life much tougher for small businesses .
@keshavbedi@amitkilhor You do understand that flipkart charges commision ,delivery fees .seller margins would be higher when selling single piece instead of thousands of pcs.
@ShivAroor Why did mos jitender singh come to negotiate with rahul gandhi ?
He is the one who legitimised this kind of protest .
It will happen again and BJP is to blame for this.
This man once led a protest against paper leak in Odisha.
In 1997, during an alleged question paper leak and examination irregularity scandal in Odisha, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan was at the forefront of the student-led agitation.
At the time, he was deeply active in student politics and served as a prominent leader of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).
To register their strong dissent against the state government's failure to protect exam integrity, Pradhan led a massive rally of students to the State Secretariat in Bhubaneswar.
Dharmendra is just an M. A. in Anthropology and ironically he's doing the same thing in 2026 after getting into the power.
IMPORTANT: In this season of political splits and mergers, the Supreme Court’s questionable role has largely escaped scrutiny.
1) The SC is yet to deliver a final ruling on the Shiv Sena (UBT) appeal filed in January 2024 challenging the Maharashtra Assembly Speaker’s decision on the party split. That’s 30 months, four CJIs and counting.
2) The SC is also yet to rule on a petition filed by Goa Congress leader Girish Chodankar in March 2022 challenging a Bombay High Court order related to defections. More than four years have passed.
When the history of this period is written, the Supreme Court’s performance as a constitutional guardian must come under serious examination.🙏
Yet another #GSTHorror story.
A highly reputed business family running one of the most popular shops in a town for generations. Monthly turnover must be in crores. They get a notice for a tax demand for petty amount. A few thousands. They respond to the notice disputing the claim. The tax officer sends orders to the banks to freeze the businesses' bank account. The bank manager immediately calls up the family to inform them and helplessly tells they have no choice but to comply. The family is shell-shocked. The reputation they had built up over decades would be in tatters when their cheques don't get honoured. All for a few thousand rupees when they pay millions as GST every month. Shaken, they settle the demand.
Dear @nsitharaman@narendramodi this is the kind of tax terror that goes on in the name of GST - the 10th year of the Good and Simple Tax.
Few things to note:
- neither the bank manager nor the bizman knows whether the tax officer has the powers to do this.
- but that doesn't matter. It's the asymmetry in power and outcomes. Look at what the bizman gets to lose (and it is immediate) vs what the tax officer would lose (after a long drawn out process) if he is shown to have broken rules.
High time we curtail the discretionary powers of this parasitic, bloodsucking babudom. When is Modi going to get this?
