Bengaluru, let's support this initiative and clean up our city.
Whenever I travel to any other city in India, Bengaluru's debris, waste and bad roads pain me.
Let's come together to clean up the city. One road at a time.
Dharmendra Pradhan avare,
ಜೀವನ ಇದು ಏರಿಳಿತದ ಜೋಕಾಲಿ !
Life is a swing,
You come down, touch the ground, and then soar even higher.
I assure you, we are here to give you that gentle push, the strength, and the energy to rise even further.
During your tenure as Education Minister, you introduced several reforms and brought about long-awaited changes in a sector that had remained stagnant for years. Your leadership has left a lasting impact on education in our country.
I wish you every success and good health in the next phase of your journey.
@narendramodi@NandanNilekani A man who has been the head of a state for nearly 24 years still keeps learning, adapting and improving himself despite carrying hundreds of responsibilities.
Whether you like him or hate him there’s a lot to learn from him. 🫡
@narendramodi@NandanNilekani Atleast he is making sure things are reformed, better late than never.
At this point we only have BJP, I'll vote for them until I find a better alternative
Never CONgress and Khujliwal
Ee Sala Cup AGAIN Namde! 🏆
Heartiest congratulations to @RCBTweets on a remarkable back-to-back IPL victory. A team that has set the benchmark with its grit, discipline and never-give-up spirit.
The energy in the Garden City must be electric tonight. Enjoy the win, Bengaluru!
RCB RCB….Congratulations Double back to back IPL Champions. Namma dodda Simhagulu roared loudly and made us all very proud. Very well done you beauties.
@MrDemocratic_ It doesn’t happen in any other states because :
- TVK is an ideological ally of DMK
- Congress is an ideological ally of CPI(M) and working members in INDI alliance.
Let’s stop tweeting stupidity in Bapu’s handle.

A BIG IDEA FOR BJP
The BJP runs the most sophisticated election machine India has ever seen. Its booth-level organisation, narrative discipline, and campaign execution are world-class. But winning elections and running governments are completely different skill sets.
Walk into any state assembly or municipal corporation where the BJP is in power. You'll find some outstanding chief ministers and ministers who combine vision with real execution. But you'll also find far too many MLAs, MPs, and corporators whose performance ranges from mediocre to actively harmful. This isn't about ideology or intent. It's about capability.
If the BJP wants to convert its political dominance into sustained national transformation, it needs something it hasn't yet institutionalised: systematic training in the art and science of governance.
Enter BIG: the Bharat Institute of Governance.
Not a think tank. Not another campaign training centre. A mini-university dedicated entirely to teaching elected representatives how to actually govern. Think of it as the IIM of public leadership, designed for BJP's MLAs, MPs, corporators, and future chief ministers.
The private sector gets this instinctively. Companies pour money into leadership development and management training because they understand that performance doesn't improve by accident. But politics operates on magical thinking: somehow, winning an election is supposed to automatically equip you to run complex government machinery, design workable policies, manage budgets, work with civil servants, and deliver outcomes.
It doesn't.
Governance is a learnable skill. Knowing how budgets actually work. Understanding how to design policies that can be implemented, not just ones that make good headlines. Learning to monitor outcomes instead of just announcing inputs. Working with bureaucracy without getting captured by it. Asking sharp questions in the legislature instead of reading prepared speeches. Managing constituencies without reducing governance to permanent grievance redressal.
Right now, most elected representatives learn these skills randomly, informally, and usually too late. Many never learn them at all.
BIG would change that by offering structured programmes for different levels of political responsibility. First-time corporators and MLAs would learn how government structures actually work, the basics of public finance, and constituency management best practices. Experienced legislators would go deeper into policy design, implementation bottlenecks, and data-driven governance. Cabinet ministers and chief ministers would study strategic governance, institutional reform, and long-term capacity building.
The faculty wouldn't be imported consultants spouting theory disconnected from Indian realities. Former civil servants who've seen what works. Successful chief ministers who've actually delivered. Domain experts, technocrats, practitioners. The case studies would come from India itself: what worked in Gujarat, why a scheme failed in MP, how Tamil Nadu solved implementation problems, where political interference improved or damaged outcomes.
The BJP's greatest strength is also its biggest vulnerability. Its massive talent pipeline means rapid political rise often places people in positions of authority before they're ready. BIG would act as both quality filter and force multiplier. Over time, it would raise the average performance of BJP representatives, reduce dependence on personality-driven governance, institutionalise best practices across states, and create a common governance language within the party.
More importantly, it would signal something powerful: that the party believes governing well matters more than just winning well.
Good governance compounds quietly. Roads maintained properly. Schemes delivered efficiently. Institutions strengthened patiently. None of this trends on social media, but it builds trust over years and elections. By investing in BIG, the BJP would be making a long-term bet that governance excellence, not just political messaging, will define its legacy.
It would move from being merely the most successful election-winning party in Indian history to becoming the most institutionally serious governing party India has ever seen.
That would truly be a big idea.

This Nobel 'Peace Prize' winner watches over Bangladesh while lynch mobs target minorities, burn people publicly, assault women, destroy property and attack press freedom
Shame on the Nobel committee for their choice that disgraces the award
In #TheBengalFiles we had warned that the next big threat to India will come from the eastern border. If #TheKashmirFiles was about what happened, #TheBengalFiles is about what will happen. It has legs.
