Vote chori is a crime against the Indian people and a direct attack on our constitution.
The BJP, RSS and EC who organised it have committed an act of treason.
Justice will be served.
First Gyanesh Chor’s daughter’s case is marked out of roster to junior Judge Sharma & second the audio of proceedings muted by Judge Sharma who grants her a stay! New lows everyday for India’s judiciary.
14 times in 10 months, two Election Commissioners objected on record to poll panel steps
The SC should take cognisance of @RitikaChopra__ story. Correct a historical wrong. And this Gyanesh Kumar should be sacked

My entire family is "untraceable" in the SIR. When filling the online Form 6, it does not recognise the old EPIC numbers. And the PDFs to track our places in the old voter lists are very confusing and seem mixed up (based on serial number and "parts" and whatnot).
What a pain.
🚨Very concerning information coming in.
Both the CBI and ED are being pressured by the regime to raid close associates of the two Election Commissioners. Both of them are resisting pressure to hold a joint press conference with Gyanesh Kumar and unequivocally refute and trash the Indian Express report.
The same had happened to Ashok Lavasa. His family members were sent IT notices before he was pressured to resign.
This is completely unacceptable. The government has totally forgotten that this is post-Jantar Mantar India and the public cannot be fooled through such illegal and fraudulent tactics.
Every Opposition political party plus @Cockroachisback should have only one agenda now - remove Gyanesh Kumar. Nothing else matters. We cannot rely on the Courts. We can rely on nothing except ourselves and India’s young.
We spent months investigating the inner working of the EC.
What we found: the majority of the Commission, kept in the dark for almost a year.
Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi objected on record at least 14 times in 10 months, FOUR times on a single day, to decisions taken in the Commission's name without their knowledge.
Here is what they flagged:

Shame on all those journalists, especially the senior ones who will put out stories today on how the ECI has denied the story by @RitikaChopra__. You could not do the work she did, at least stop being govt’s puppet for a day. Instead ask for accountability. Millions suffering
El gobierno de EEUU resulta incapaz de aceptar que #Cuba es, y tiene derecho a ser, un país plenamente independiente y soberano.
Ninguna de las falsedades del Presidente de EEUU en @ONU_es y ninguna calumnia pueden ni podrán negar ese hecho.
Cuba no es una amenaza para EEUU ni para ningún país.
El bloqueo económico, incluido el cerco energético, sí amenaza a Cuba y al resto de las naciones. Es un acto de genocidio y castigo colectivo. Somos un país de paz y merecemos la paz.
#CubaNoEsUnaAmenaza el bloqueo sí.
'Her crime was empathy.'
Shrishti Gupta, a young artist from Viswa-Bharti, supported the Noida workers demanding fair wages.
Yogi's government has now jailed her for almost six months.
Read this thoughtful profile of her by @AnantGuptaAG of a young adult searching for how to be an 'ethical artist'.

#BREAKING Carnatic Musician TM Krishna moves #SupremeCourt challenging the Centre's circular mandating the singing of six stanzas of Vande Mataram and the recent amendment giving Vande Mataram the same status as the National Anthem.
Krishna states that four stanzas of Vande Mataram expressly invoke devotion to Hindu deities, and mandating the singing of those portions violates the secular character of the nation.
The amendment to cover Vande Mataram under the Prevention of Insults to the National Honour Act is arbitrary and violates personal liberty, and furthers a "majoritarian religious message", @tmkrishna contends.
In response to a question on the expansion of Coimbatore airport, I noted that our state would only lease the needed land to the AAI/Union Govt, and not transfer ownership to them, as before. The lease would include a clause that the lease amount would be kept at a minimum token value as long as the airport was operated by AAI itself. If the Union Govt decides to hand over the airport to private players, the lease payments to Tamil Nadu would go up to reflect the then-prevailing market value of the land, or we should get an equity stake in the airport equivalent to the then-prevailing value of the land. And that TN has declined AAI’s suggestion that they should have the right to sub-lease the land to a private operator (at the concessional lease rent) without our consent (and at the token value lease payment).

Experienced the anti-Kannada entitlement firsthand today, and frankly, I’m still furious.
A Hindi-speaking couple hit our car at Orion Mall,Bengaluru.
When my driver confronted them about the damage, the woman eventually started screaming at him to “speak in English or Hindi” because she didn’t understand Kannada.
That’s when I intervened - No. He will speak Kannada. We are in Karnataka.
And she LOST it.
“You Kannadigas hate North Indians.” “Why should I learn Kannada?” “You should know Hindi.” And then outright contempt for Kannada itself.
Sorry, WHAT?
You move to Karnataka, don’t learn Kannada - absolutely your choice. Nobody needs to force you. But then demanding that Kannadigas know your language, in their own state, and getting offended because someone speaks Kannada to you?
That is not discrimination against North Indians. That is entitlement.
I speak Hindi. I have never had an issue speaking it. I’ve always thought this entire language war was pointless.
But today? I finally understood where some of this anger comes from.
You don’t have to know Kannada. But you damn well don’t get to disrespect it in Karnataka and then play victim because Kannadigas won’t switch to Hindi for you.
Ps: have videos, Recordings but have no bandwidth for this.
