Sickening to see a man obsessed with image while national dignity bein steadily sold?
While three innocent Indians lost their lives under Trump's watch, Modiji was busy singing his praises in their meeting.
A strong PM would have stood up for India and demanded an unconditional apology from Trump for those killings—not offered compliments.
Never should a nation feel humiliated, voiceless or abandoned before a foreign bully and a murderer of 3 Indians?
The contrast is staggering..hounding of citizens, chest-thumping at home, surrendered angel abroad?
Don't we deserve a leader who defend nation's dignity not himself?
@FoxNews Modi should not have gaffowed. Is Modi a stooge of Trump that the leader of Democratic Bharat should giggle on Trump’s silly remark about India??
3 innocents murdred..yet Modi busy maintaining cordial optics with that #Epstein's partner in crime?
How mny times in the last 2yrs has India's dignity been sold while he chose deference over defiance?
Opposition..meanwhile..seems content with token outrage & calls it resistance?
Donald Trump, you will be held accountable for the Indian lives lost. You are a cowardly, cold-blooded murderer.
It is unfortunate that PM Modi remains silent, but soon, India will have a strong Prime Minister who will make you pay for your misdeeds.
How long will d public put up with this self-serving man selling our national interest to that Amrican Biggottt?
Where's the opposition?A bunch of spineless gutless useles political liabilities too terrified to offend him fearin caged parrots lk ED/CBI?
Wake up or lose evrythng?
India cannot afford another day of Modi in office?
The damage he inflicted to institutions, accountability & national interests could be impossible to reverse?
The bigger disgrace?An opposition so feeble it can't challenge any of it. Is anyone left fighting for India?
#surrender?
India should ask US Ambassador in New Delhi to go back to Washington and remain there unless US expresses regret for the reckless killing of our citizens on sea. But Modi is a pussy cat before Donald. He shivers before him.
3 Indians killed..yet not a word of outrage?
Instead of confronting Trump, Modi seems busy thanking him?
If Indians had killed their civilians..Washington wud erupt?
Real puzzle is hw a leader who attracts such fierce public anger continues to dominate elections?
Wat r we mising?
100 Days of the war marks a deadly turn for India, as 3 are killed by US missiles targetting ships at edge of Hormuz Strait- why is the government under fire for its response and what are India's diplomatic options?

Evry day India seems to pay the price for decisions driven by one man's political survival? Institutions destroyd, acountbility buried, coruption normalized just to keep d skeletons locked in the cupboard?

Tragedy is not just the decay..it's how shamelessly it is defended?
PM Modi is saying 'thank you' to Trump.
Thank you for exactly what? For attacking ships with Indians on board and killing Indian nationals? The situation has become hopelessly embarrassing for our country now.
Modi ji has completely surrendered India's sovereignty, pride and the lives of its citizens to Trump. India needs a strong Prime Minister. Trump cannot be allowed to do whatever he pleases with our country and our people.
Has Modi become the biggest disaster India evr witnessed?

India's LPG Crisis Isn't a War Story. It's a Policy Story. The War Just Made It Visible !
India always knew the Strait of Hormuz was the jugular vein of its cooking gas supply. The country even had a rehearsal in June 2025.
----------
The Architecture of a Self-Built Trap
In 2024–25, India consumed 31.3 million tonnes of LPG but produced only 12.8 million tonnes domestically. That meant roughly two-thirds of the country’s demand depended on imports.
Even more concerning, nearly 90% of those imports moved through a single 33-kilometre choke point — the Strait of Hormuz.
This vulnerability was never hidden. For years it sat in energy ministry reports, policy discussions, and supply projections. The risk was visible, measurable, and repeatedly acknowledged.
That’s what makes the current crisis different from an unforeseen shock. It didn’t appear overnight. It was a known weakness that policymakers recognised but kept postponing until that disruption arrived.
The Warning That Produced Half an Answer
The twelve-day Israel–Iran conflict in June 2025 briefly turned that long-discussed risk into something real. For the first time, the possibility of Hormuz disruption felt immediate.
India did respond — but only partially.
Over the following months, policymakers worked to diversify LPG imports. Dependence on Middle Eastern suppliers fell from near total in 2024 to about 70% by early 2026. Cargoes from the United States and other sources slowly entered the supply mix. It was a meaningful adjustment, but not a transformative one.
When the larger conflict unfolded, India was less exposed than before, but still exposed enough to trigger large scale emergency measures.
The government invoked the Essential Commodities Act, commercial cylinders were rationed, and the price of a ₹910 LPG cylinder climbed to nearly ₹2,000 on black markets.
What the Emergency Response Cannot Fix
The government’s March 5 emergency package was swift and technically sound. Refineries were ordered to maximise LPG output.
India signed a 2.2-million-tonne import agreement with suppliers on the US Gulf Coast. Officials increased the share of non-Hormuz imports from 55% to 70% of the supply mix, while booking intervals for domestic cylinders were extended to 25 days to slow consumption.
As short-term crisis management, these steps are practical, but they also highlight what was missing before the crisis began.
The Three Critical Gaps
The First Gap is strategic reserves. India maintains petroleum reserves that can cover roughly one additional week of oil consumption during disruptions. For LPG — the cooking fuel used by over 33 crore households — no comparable reserve structure exists. Not even a single day of dedicated strategic LPG buffer separates a supply shock from a household shortage.
The Second Gap is a subsidy-investment imbalance. In 2024–25, oil marketing companies reported about ₹39,000 crore in losses on subsidised LPG, with government compensation covering roughly ₹30,000 crore.
Each year, India spent enormous sums absorbing the cost of import dependence while investing far less in the infrastructure — domestic production, storage capacity, or alternative fuels — that could reduce that dependence.
The Third Gap lies in alternative energy adoption. Programmes promoting electric induction cooking, biogas, and compressed biogas under initiatives like PM-JI VAN Yojana were framed largely as environmental or rural development efforts rather than as strategic energy security measures. Without that urgency, the transition remained gradual, leaving the country heavily tied to imported LPG.
The Price of Delay
Global markets reacted quickly to the disruption. Northwest European propane prices jumped 30% to €715 per tonne on March 3, while replacement cargoes from the US Gulf Coast are arriving at a 40–50% premium compared with pre-war Gulf supplies.
Every tonne of LPG India buys today under emergency conditions costs more than it would have cost to maintain the strategic reserves and diversified supply systems that were never built.
#LPG #iranwar #hormuz
Is someone still in doubt whether #Epstein is the real reason behind “supreme leader’s” consistent spine-loss before #Trump & the quiet clearance sale of national interest? Quite a spectacle-thundering nationalism at home yet total surrender when the big boss calls?
@Swamy39@CNN
The Epstein files shows among other things that Epstein was running a giant honey trap operation to blackmail powerful politicians & corporates, with CCTV cameras in his plane & residences.
It is also clear that he was very close to Israel & probably passed over the relevant videos & photos to Israel.
Israel seems to be in a position to blackmail Trump, just as Trump seems to be in a position to blackmail Modi.
Global geopolitics seems to be running on blackmail!
While Pedro Sánchez stands firm agnst Trump over war & trade threats, our “विश्व गुरु” masters nly optics-bow abroad, bulldoze at home?
No intellectual heft, no moral courage-just surrender dressed as strategy?
At least Sánchez isn’t choreographed by #Epstein to entertain #trump?
Amid a new war, a rare act of political courage has emerged.
After opposing the U.S. seizure of Venezuela’s president and Israel’s devastating war in Gaza, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has condemned Trump’s war on Iran, declaring: “We oppose this disaster.” Responding to Trump’s threat to cut off trade ties with Spain, Sánchez replied: “We will not be complicit in something that is harmful to the world and contrary to our values and interests, simply out of fear of retaliation.”
Background checks & proven competence to become a teacher, a banker, even a junior employee. But to run an entire nation? Then we wonder why chaos surrounds us from every side. When the top job demands the least qualification, disaster stops being an accident..it becomes policy??
Around the world, powerful ppl linked to the #Epstein scandal being investigated & arrested, while here the loudest moral lectures come from those who never answer uncomfortable questions..Strange times - the one shouting “नंगा” the loudest seems least willing to face the mirror?
Another round of song & dance in Israel but who’s callin the tune this time, especially without that infamous “advisor” whispering the steps? Maybe now, in Epstein’s absence, his favourite American “big boss/Biggott in chief” directly callin the shots & scripting the nxt episode?
How Modi has made India virtually a satellite of a genocidal Israel.
Remember: Epstein was an agent of Israel.
Epstein claimed, “IT WORKED. Modi sang & danced for Trump in Israel”!
Does anyone still hv doubts abt #RafaleScam? Earlier most dubious #anilambani walked away with offset contracts..114 more being ordred at staggering costs undr the same veil of secrecy..same unanswred questions..Nxt chosen beneficiary plz?
Defence deals becoming private jackpots?
After scrapping an almost completed 2013 deal of purchasing 126 Rafale planes for <600 Cr each, Modi purchased 36 Rafales in 2016 for >1600 Cr each &gave his pal Anil Ambani the offset contracts. Now 100 years later, he goes for purchase of another 114 Rafales at >2,500 Cr/plane!
Rahul went full throttle in Lok Sabha..accusing the regime of surrendering to Trump while shielding #EpsteinFile cronies & ministers at home..
Pressed on whether hidden compulsions like #EpsteinFiles driving that compromise?
Parliament hasn’t seen a takedown like this in a while.
India–US Trade Deal ने 140 करोड़ भारतीयों का भविष्य गिरवी रख दिया।
युवाओं के रोज़गार दांव पर,
किसानों की फसल समझौते की मेज़ पर,
और ऊर्जा सुरक्षा विदेशी शर्तों पर!
कोई PM बिना भारी दबाव के ऐसे घुटने नहीं टेकता। भारत समझता है - यह समझौता बराबरी का नहीं, मजबूरी का है।
Epstein files से हो या Adani Case से - मोदी जी ने अपनी सत्ता बचाने की कीमत राष्ट्रीय हित से चुकाई है।
