I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the brave and dedicated scuba divers who have created history by unfurling India’s largest tricolour underwater at Swaraj Dweep, earning a place in the Guinness World Records.
This extraordinary achievement is not just a record - it is a powerful symbol of the courage, unity, and indomitable spirit of our nation. Executing such a mission beneath the sea, amidst challenging conditions, reflects the highest levels of discipline, team work, and love for our country. Every individual involved in this effort has made India proud.
This inspiring feat also reflects the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji’s Fit India movement, which encourages our youth to embrace fitness, adventure, and a spirit of resilience. Such achievements show how India’s young generation is rising to new challenges and making the nation proud on global platforms.
I also appreciate the support extended by the Andaman & Nicobar administration and our defence forces in enabling this landmark feat.
On a personal note, it is a moment of immense pride to see my son, Sharath R. Ashok, be a part of this historic achievement. His dedication to adventure sports and his commitment to pushing boundaries have led him to this proud moment. As a father, I feel deeply happy to see him contribute to an effort that celebrates our national flag in such a unique and inspiring way.
May this achievement inspire many more young Indians to dream big, stay fit, serve the nation, and bring glory to our Tiranga.
Jai Hind 🇮🇳

CM @siddaramaiah avare,
Karnataka expects maturity from its Chief Minister, not impulsive commentary on sensitive international matters.
India’s foreign policy is determined in New Delhi with strategic depth and national interest as its guiding principle. It is not shaped or driven by domestic vote-bank compulsions or electoral calculations.
At a time when global tensions are escalating, responsible leaders exercise restraint. Unfortunately, during Operation Sindoor, your remarks created unnecessary controversy and embarrassment for our State, even being amplified and finding applause in hostile foreign media.
And now, once again, instead of statesmanship, we are witnessing knee-jerk reactions rooted in appeasement politics.
Let this be clearly understood: Foreign policy is not a stage for ideological posturing. It is about safeguarding India’s sovereignty, maintaining strategic balance, and strengthening our global standing.
Karnataka deserves leadership that reinforces India’s voice on the world stage, not statements that are conveniently celebrated by those who do not wish our nation well.
As Chief Minister, your words carry weight. Rise above partisan calculations and uphold the dignity of your office.
Amazing priorities @blrcitytraffic. Heavy vehicles get a free pass to choke the city, but you stand in groups just to catch two-wheelers at the Hebbal junction. We’re currently World #2 in traffic congestion, at this rate, your “management” will earn us #1 spot!
@blrcitytraffic Heavy vehicle broken down near Manyata tech park, traffic piling up already.
Isn’t there a rule prohibiting heavy vehicle movement in city limits from 7 am ?
❓ಅನಾಮಿಕ ಬುರುಡೆ ತಂದಾಗ ಆ ಬುರುಡೆ ಎಲ್ಲಿಂದ ತಂದ, ಹೆಂಗೆ ತಂದ ಅಂತ ಪೊಲೀಸರು ವಿಚಾರಣೆ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರಾ?
❓ಒಂದು ಬಾರಿ ಹೆಣ ಹೂತಿಟ್ಟ ಮೇಲೆ ಅದನ್ನ ಮತ್ತೆ ತೆಗೆಯೋದಕ್ಕೆ ಅನೇಕ ನಿಯಮ, ಕಾನೂನು ಇದೆ ಅಂತ, ಸರ್ಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ, ಎಸ್ ಐಟಿ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ವಾ?
❓ ಆ ಅನಾಮಿಕ ಹೇಳಿದ ಕಡೆಯಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲಾ ಆಗಿಯೋದಕ್ಕೆ ಮುಂಚೆನೇ ಈ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳನ್ನ ಕೇಳಿ ಯಾವುದೇ ಪೂರ್ವಾಗ್ರಹ, ದುರುದ್ದೇಶ ಇಲ್ಲದೆ ವಿಚಾರಣೆ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಿದ್ದರೆ ಅವನು ಹೇಳ್ತಾ ಇರೋದು ಬುರುಡೆನಾ ಇಲ್ವಾ ಅಂತ ಆಗಲೇ ಗೊತ್ತಾಗುತ್ತಿತ್ತು, ಅಲ್ಲವೇ?
ಈಗ ಇದಕ್ಕೆಲ್ಲ ಯಾರು ಹೊಣೆ?
ಪುತ್ರ ಶೋಕಂ ನಿರಂತರಂ ಎಂಬ ಮಾತಿನಂತೆ ಎದೆ ಎತ್ತರಕ್ಕೆ ಬೆಳೆದ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಹೆತ್ತವರ ಕಣ್ಣು ಮುಂದೆ ಸತ್ತರೆ ಆ ನೋವನ್ನ ಜೀವನ ಪರ್ಯಂತ ಮೆರೆಯಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವೇ ಇಲ್ಲ.

Kalburgi district in-charge Minister @PriyankKharge avare,
Your tirade against the RSS, echoing the worn-out rhetoric of "apologies" and "crawling back," serves only to expose the stunning hypocrisy of your own party. You rail against what you perceive as a lack of "courage" and "accountability," yet seem to suffer from a profound and selective amnesia regarding the serial apologies of your own leader, Mr @RahulGandhi.
Let's talk about "crawling back." Who, exactly, has been repeatedly forced to "come crawling back with apologies" surrendering to the highest courts of this nation?
▪️Is it not Rahul Gandhi who submitted an "unconditional apology" to the Supreme Court for wrongfully attributing "Chowkidar Chor Hai" to the court? He didn't just apologize; he was warned by the very institution he tried to malign.
▪️Is it not Rahul Gandhi who, facing a contempt case, was forced to offer an "unconditional apology to SC in Rafale contempt case" and "requests top court to drop proceedings"? This was not an act of conviction, but of capitulation to legal pressure after spreading blatant falsehoods.
▪️And let's not forget the most glaring example of a convenient retreat: Rahul Gandhi's backtrack in the Supreme Court, stating "RSS did not assassinate Gandhi". This stunning admission came only after facing defamation charges for a baseless accusation he had flung recklessly.
So, Priyank Kharge avare, before you lecture anyone on "cowardly, anti-national forces" and those who "thrive in shadows," perhaps you should reflect on the actions of your own leader who repeatedly makes explosive, unsubstantiated claims in public, only to meekly apologize and surrender when the legal hammer falls. Is this your definition of courage? Is this the directness you champion? It sounds more like reckless slander followed by reluctant retreat.
And your attempt to appropriate Dr. B.R. Ambedkar for your narrow, politically motivated narrative is not just disingenuous; it's an insult to his profound intellectual legacy. You selectively pluck a quote out of context, hoping to weaponize it, while conveniently ignoring Dr.Ambedkar's equally critical and insightful observations that might make your party deeply uncomfortable:
▪️ "The brotherhood of Islam is not the universal brotherhood of man. It is the brotherhood of Muslims for Muslims only."
▪️ "The real explanation of this failure of Hindu-Muslim unity lies in the fact that the Muslims will not recognize that Hindus are their kith and kin."
▪️ "Wherever there is a conflict between Muslim law and common law, it is the Muslim law that must prevail."
These are direct quotes from Dr. Ambedkar's voluminous writings, providing a far more comprehensive, and often challenging, perspective than your convenient snippet.
Your selective quoting of Ambedkar reveals not an understanding of his philosophy, but a cynical attempt to distort it for political gain. Babasaheb was a relentless truth-seeker, unafraid to critique any ideology or community that he believed hindered national progress or democratic values. To cherry-pick his words while ignoring the full spectrum of his thought is an act of intellectual dishonesty.
Before you grandstand about "conviction", perhaps you should first introspect about your own leader maintaining his convictions when faced with a court notice. The "toxic, anti-national machinery" you decry seems to be a mirror reflecting the very practices of baseless accusations and subsequent apologies that define your own party's recent political conduct.
We are indeed ready to debate the RSS's contribution to the nation - any time, any where. But let's do so with integrity, with a full grasp of facts, and without the convenient amnesia that seems to plague your pronouncements.
