"Stands tall. And asks questions"
Cannot laugh harder.

Your reporter is supposed to ask questions to @dpradhanbjp for failing his responsibilities as a education minister. Why is he asking nonsensical questions to the protesting students?

[Nupur J Sharma @UnSubtleDesi]

Cockroaches come in hoards and attempt to heckle our reporter @Anurragmishra. He stands alone. Stands tall. And asks questions, which cockroaches, huffing and panting, refuse to answer

Tweet this video, you insect @Saurabh_Unmute. This is what the real Gen Z courage looks like

The data on doubtful citizenship by EC officials during SIR exercise is not known yet, yet the demography panel is likely to expand its ambit to study the exclusions- 6.5 crore names. The panel has been formed to study illegal immigration and unnatural growth. Census data not in yet, latest NFHS data for 2023-24 shows fertility rate at 2, below the replacement level of 2.1.
Do your math.

Rajeev Bhattacharyya’s reporting on the Arakan Army has a pattern - AA-controlled access, constrained witnesses, captive sources, and a miraculous outcome in which the AA’s preferred version always shines through!

Never, ever, claimed to be a journalist. I was always just a mere news professional. Journalists are much higher than me. You, however, are a dalaal.

HBS's son speaking to media for the first time on alleged illegal immigrants and BJP government performance in that regard.

[Press Trust of India @PTI_News]

VIDEO | Guwahati: As Himanta Biswa Sarma took oath as Assam CM, his son Nandil Biswa Sarma says, “In the last five years, Papa has done very good work as Chief Minister, and we hope he continues to work for the people of Assam in the same way... This has been a significant phase in Assam’s political discourse and political landscape, and over the past five years, the BJP government has done commendable work. From what we have seen so far, it appears that the good work will continue, and that remains our hope as well.”

83 of Assam's 126 seats were won by margins of over 20% in the 2026 Assembly elections. This wasn't a one-off landslide election. Our data analysis shows win margins have been widening for five straight elections — across parties. @namanxshah reports.
