A rant on โdemand to remove Gyanesh Kumarโ.
Let us begin with one elementary question for everyone demanding Gyanesh Kumarโs resignation: WHO EXACTLY ARE YOU?
The PM? The Union Cabinet? The HM?
None of them can simply order the Chief Election Commissioner to vacate his office. The CEC is not a government employee who can be dismissed because a political party has taken its grievances to the streets.
Article 324(5) of the Constitution protects the CEC against arbitrary removal. His removal must follow the same procedure and grounds applicable to a Supreme Court judge.
Here is how the process actually works:
A) Initiate a parliamentary motion. At least 100 Lok Sabha MPs or 50 Rajya Sabha MPs must sign a removal motion.
B) Secure admission. The Speaker or Chairman decides whether to admit the motion.
C) Investigate the charges. If admitted, a three-member committee examines the allegations under the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968.
D) Secure a special majority. Both Houses must pass the motion by a majority of their total membership and a two-thirds majority of members present and voting.
E) Obtain the Presidentโs removal order. Only after the constitutionally prescribed parliamentary process has been completed can the President formally remove the CEC.
Alternatively, Gyanesh Kumar can voluntarily resign by submitting his resignation to the President.
Now, tell me: what exactly is a street protest supposed to achieve if the demand is that the government simply sack him?
If you believe there are grounds for his removal, follow the constitutional procedure. Convince MPs. Present evidence. Build the case. Secure the required majorities.
That is how a constitutional democracy works.
And the most astonishing part? It is not merely political activists who appear to be missing this elementary distinction. Even journalists, whose job is to inform citizens and hold institutions to account, are amplifying the spectacle without adequately explaining the constitutional process involved.
Journalism is not stenography for political slogans. Before broadcasting demands, perhaps journalists should explain who possesses the legal authority to act on them. Before lecturing the country on constitutional morality, they should establish what the Constitution actually says.
If these protesters are genuinely participating without being paid, and they do not even understand the constitutional procedure governing the office they want to challenge, then they are being spectacularly foolish. How do you claim to defend a Constitution you have not bothered to understand?
And if political parties are mobilising citizens without explaining these basic facts, the question becomes even more uncomfortable: are they educating citizens about democracy, or exploiting their ignorance for political theatre?
Let us be clear. Criticising Gyanesh Kumar is legitimate. Questioning the Election Commission is legitimate. Demanding transparency and accountability is legitimate.
But the Constitution provides a process for removing the CEC. A street ultimatum cannot replace it.
And the right to protest is not a licence for violence. Where there are evidence from past for these protestors of attempting to breach barricades, get in clashes or incitement to violence, the police are entitled to take lawful preventive action. The previous protestโs conduct must be judged on evidence, and every police action must satisfy the applicable law. Nobody gets a free pass merely by attaching a political slogan to unlawful conduct.
Democracy is not mob rule. Constitutional accountability is not street coercion. And journalism is not the art of amplifying ignorance.
The Constitution is not protected by shouting its name. It is protected by understanding it, respecting its procedures and refusing to let political convenience override the law.
If you are marching to save the Constitution, start by reading it.
And if you are reporting on that march, start by explaining it.
I strongly condemn the deliberate attack on a Hindu temple in Canada. Equally appalling are the cowardly attempts to intimidate our diplomats. Such acts of violence will never weaken Indiaโs resolve. We expect the Canadian government to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law.
Dear BJP Supporters & Modi Ka Parivar,
I understand the disappointment. It is akin to the student who wants 100% but gets 90% and feels sad despite topping the university exams.
But remember - in our worst case scenario we - just the BJP- are at 245+ & Congress in its best case scenario is only 99.
This is the third time the Congress hasnโt crossed 100 seats. The BJP alone by itself is more than the dotted INDI alliance (234). Our worst is twice their best performance.
The NDA at 291 and counting is comfortably poised to form its government yet again (3rd time) under leadership of PM @narendramodi ji
The BJP has also added and increased its vote share in 2024 as compared to 2019. Clearly this is a vote for pro-incumbency and not anti-incumbency.
The BJP roared in Odisha & Arunachal. We are forming governments there. Odisha victory in State Assembly is historic & so is the sweep in Loksabha in Odisha. Returning to power in Arunachal is historic.
Opening our account in Kerala despite the demographic situation is historic.
We grew substantially in Telangana. We have expanded in Tamil Nadu & were second place in 11 seats.
NDA has dominated in Andhra too. We will have a state government there.
We achieved all this despite the fact that the dotted INDI alliance played the most sinister divisive caste card to splinter Hindus & heavily polarised the other side using โvote jihadโ card.
Yes- we will feel that disappointment. We will introspect even in our victory even as Congress gloats in defeat.
Yes it might hurt a bit. But there are two ways of looking at this.
One: We can let this burden of not reaching our own high expectations to weigh us down & give up. We surrender to their agenda to divide & balkanise us. We bend before their fake narratives to break Hindu society and Bharat.
Or
Two: We let this pain be a reminder of how we need to be more united than ever before & not allow them to divide us in caste lines. We need this day to be a reminder for all of us - to work harder for the next 1826 days (5 years). We donโt start tomorrow. We start today. We start now. We go harder and stronger against their plan to divide. We arise and awaken. We never surrender. We UNITE. We donโt leave anything to chance. We go to every house. We go to every street. We dominate every platform. We go to every individual.
We must unmask their plan to divide Hindus & unite the votebank. Today is not the day to stop. It is the day to renew our Sankalp.
I say this as a Bharatiya Muslim as much as I say it as a foot soldier of BJP. I can see them divide Hindus. Donโt..Donโt let them divide on castes. Donโt let them prevail.
Arise awake and stop not till the goal is reached.
Be unapologetic

[SANYASA PADDHATI IN TATTVAVADA] :ย
Many people have this confusion about the ekadanda sanyasa paddhati followed amongย Tattvavada & often confuse it with ekadanda sanyasa paddhati of other darshanas! The thread aims to clear this confusion! (1/n)
Yes, the Indian Foreign Service has changed.
Yes, they follow the orders of the Government.
Yes, they counter the arguments of others.
No, its not called Arrogance.
It is called Confidence.
And it is called defending National Interest.
It's a video circulating in WA. Apparently happened at Coppell school. IMO, victim would have died by asphyxia or permanently paralyzed neck down spending rest of life in wheelchair or could have other longterm consequences. @Coppelisd, @CoppellPolice,@AmerAcadPeds
This will be a controversial post but I think Kannadigas are the best group of balanced people in India nowadays. They are modern but also rooted to their culture and dharma. They are chilled out but also hardworking. They love their language but not too militant about it.
If you have some shame then retweet in that large number so that it will reach to modi Ji. The mother of Ashutosh Pandey, who has been sent to jail in a false Sc-St act, is crying. Look at her tears and raise your voice against this injustice. #Justice4Ashutosh
We run a telegram group for Indic / Dharmic people. It has been around for a few years.
Trying to add more people.
