@PChidambaram_IN I have an even more fundamental issue with taxing individuals on their revenue (aka Salaries etc) and not on profit ( aka surplus towards savings). Corporates enjoy that. Why not individuals? Compliance is easy. Tax base automatically increases. And you can have varying slabs.

[Mahua Moitra @MahuaMoitra]

No-this is not crass humour. This is not immature behaviour. This is a much-needed long-awaited phenomenon. To fearlessly lampoon a PM is a democratic right long denied to Indians.

I won’t be surprised if we see Adani on the board of Tata Sons and Tata Trusts soon. Entry through the Shapoorji Pallonji stakes.

@AshokAkaybee @bsindia Clairvoyant! Definitely seems to have helped N Chandra. And BS was the first to break the news today as well.

@IndianGems_ The most clueless FM this country has ever seen in recent history

[S Arun Natesh @arunnatesh]

My question is, when will they start charging for using cash? Obviously there’s a cost involved in printing it and distributing it and that needs to be recouped, no? As it is, they’re already charging for withdrawals from an 🏧.

What changed @FinMinIndia ? Someone lost his spine?

@paritoshZero What an idea Sirji!

@JM_Scindia @BittuT68697 If shamelessness had a name! What were those people who were paid to do the job doing?

[Jairam Ramesh @Jairam_Ramesh]

Just as we warned on Aug 6, 2026 to which the Hon’ble FM herself had deemed it fit to respond, the Modi Govt is now using new laws bulldozed through Parliament to start the process of charging for UPI.

A notification has just been issued under the amended Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007 that prohibits banks and providers from charging only for UPI transactions under Rs 2000. But there is NO explicit protection for any transaction above this cap.

The stage is clearly being set for all of us to pay a fee for UPI transactions. Tomorrow the cap itself might be changed with another such notification - there is no longer a guarantee in the law. For all we know, the govt can introduce a charge for daily person-to-person transactions as well.

The Modi Govt has yet again shown complete lack of honesty and transparency and has broken the trust of users. Is all of this being done to open digital payments for American companies to appease President Trump?

[Jairam Ramesh @Jairam_Ramesh]

Decision Making in Modi Govt

Aug 6: Hon’ble Finance Minister says “no decision has been taken on MDR”.
Aug 10: FM in Parliament says “No MDR framework has yet been finalised”.

Sep 14: Notification is issued.
Within 24 hrs, MDR charges introduced.

Another example of Modi Govt’s FAST moves (First Announce, Subsequently Think)

@hdfcsec Closed the call after an hour. Thank you for your service and your patience.

[S Arun Natesh @arunnatesh]

@hdfcsec , I have just been on hold for 45 minutes with your call center all the while listening to “your call is important to us,please hold on”.

[S Arun Natesh @arunnatesh]

To all those like @PChidambaram_IN , @SachinPilot who went out on a limb to congratulate @ndtv on its so called relaunch in the hope that it would be fair:

how can you not know that a snake even if it sheds its skin doesn’t shed its venom? @rahulkanwal certainly cant apparently

[Mohammed Zubair @zoo_bear]

So NDTV put out a misleading tweet against Congress.
"Congress Slams/Questions Indian Team for refusing to accept Aisa Cup trophy from Mohsin Naqvi"

In fact Congress leaders told the exact opposite of what Adani's News Channel @ndtvindia is trying to show..

After people pointed out, They deleted the video. Forget Apology, There was No clarification too.

By K V Ramesh in Bengaluru: Here is a vegetarian menu prepared for future state banquets on occasions like BRICS, G-20, SCO etc, by young hotel management graduates, who participated in the Jantar Mantar protests, and were beaten to pulp by police batons. These are side dishes, and they are preparing a menu for the main c(o)urse.

Didi O Didi – Bengali Begun Bhaja, a traditional pan-fried eggplant coated with Lakadong turmeric from north-eastern state of Meghalaya, powder of Guntur chili, salt from Gujarat, and fried in mustard oil from Alwar in the exotic ex-royal state of Rajasthan.
Goli Maro Salon ko – A classic speciality from India’s western coast, also known as Mangaluru Goli Baje, made using all-purpose flour, rice flour, soda and salt mixed to a fine paste, along with ginger, chilies, curry leaves, coconut, coriander leaves, curd, shaped into round balls and fried to a golden brown.
Investigating the girl child – Tender ladies finger cut in small sizes, fried in virgin groundnut oil along with shredded red Nasik onions, sliced Jwala green chillies from Guarat, tender locally grown tomatoes from Kolar chopped fine, cumin from Western India, aniseed from north Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, and rape seed from the rape capitals in central India.
50-crore girlfriend – A dish made of expensive Indian spices from Kerala and Kashmir, with secret ingredients known only to chefs from Trivandrum and Gujarat.
Congress ki Vidhwa – A simple dish, eaten by widows in ancient India who were barred from using salt or sugar in their food. A dish eaten by Gujarati elite, but not in the rest of the country.
Pappu – A traditional dish from the southern state of erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh, made using soft-cooked lentils, most commonly toor dal (kandi pappu), fiery Guntur chilli, boiled to a softness along with fiery Guntur chilli powder, green leafy vegetables, and seasoned with talimpu or tadka of clarified butter, garlic, mustard seeds, cumin, curry leaves, and dry red chilies. For many years used as a slur for political opponents, but the term is in disuse of late.
Lavanena Bhojyam – The mantra recommended to be chanted before dinner, as both a blessing to the chef, and a caution to him to not scrimp on salt. The mantra is not advisable to be chanted, unless it is pronounced correctly, lest the food lose its taste.

Great news break! How this plays out for Chandra’s decision not to stay on, Tata Sons’ future and Pallonji Group’s plan to monetise its shareholding in Tata Sons will be worth watching. @bsindia

@narendramodi official handles of your party are posting vulgar AI images of an 80 year old women, have some shame. No wonder this country is not safe for women. There are people who still believe in you and I feel sad for them.

[Rahul Gandhi @RahulGandhi]

India's education system is failing the very generation it was meant to lift.

Paper leaks. Crushing fees. Decaying infrastructure. Millions of young Indians work honestly, and the system still lets them down.

Fixing it begins with listening to those who experience its failures every day.

Students, parents, teachers, tell me: why have you lost hope in the education system?

Share your experiences, evidence and ideas at the link. Together, we will bring hope back.
