This will happen when you bhakts loose touch with reality.... Imagine you & your guys are so out of touch & connect that people in trouble are reaching out to people who you worked hard to destroy credibility of... That's doomsday scenario for you! Reach out, rectify, make wrong doers accountable, punish them, create efficient systems.... If that is too much work, then either you move away or we will remove you.... You can buy all the election commissioners you want... We will throw you out if things don't improve...
This is literally the best promotion for @Tesla cars! They may not be for everyone, no single car is built for everyone! But successful car companies are able to build, deliver what the most want! And most people want to have a reasonably automated driving system, and all the points you despise! But your rant seriously convinced me to buy a model Y.... Thank you @elonmusk
Dharmendra Pradhan's son
is studying in America, so did Nirmala's and Jyotiraditya.
Piyush Goyal's son is studying in Singapore, Anurag Thakur's son is studying in Canada.
S. Jaishankar's son is studying in the UK & even Smriti Irani (who hardly studied) sent son to study there.
Nishikant Dubey's son studied in Scotland
So why would these people bother about NEET paper leak
or CBSE scam or communal distortion of history by NCERT?
Or care about your children getting pushed around in trains and buses or even committing suicide?
Government of Hypocrites from Top to Bottom!!
Whataboutery.... Classic responses from BJP! What accountability measures are taken? Who has been fired for not doing their job? What action taken against the culprit agency? With so many lakh lives at stake, you shamelessly resort to name calling & trolling! Unfortunately, you have only aged but failed to mature! Playing with the careers of the youth... Can you at least imagine what uncertainties they're going through, all because of the government's repeated inability to conduct exams? No wonder China is eons ahead, since they take education, research much more seriously...
Very good initiative!! But given how well traveled you are & have seen the best of roads all over the globe, why can't you spot lack of proper lane markings, undulations on roads, lack of properly leveled manholes on your daily ride? Was the bike ride smooth & comfortable?? On Mumbai roads, you won't be able to last 7 days if you ride the bicycle daily!! @mybmc@AshwiniBhide if SoBo roads near Varsha can't have clear road signs & lane markings, do we common Mumbaikars have any hope left???
It is easy to shift blame to the people but to do so while in power is not just condescendingly hypocritical but plainly blasphemous! Sit down bro, introspect & talk of an action plan with timelines with @mybmc@Dev_Fadnavis... Please believe this, your critics are not your enemies, they're your best friends, if you want to continue in your position on merit... First get your act together, show action on ground & then preach... Please accept that India is a dirty place and rather than scolding people for saying it out loud, do something to mend the situation
I've already retweeted @Options_IndiaAB post.
Since I want this to reach lot of people, posting it separately too.
Here is the post:
I recently spent 2 weeks in China.
6 cities: Shanghai, Beijing, Xi’an, Zhangjiajie, Chongqing and Chengdu.
I went there with curiosity.
Like many Indians, I had heard a lot about China through media, social media and conversations. I expected to see progress, maybe discover some business ideas, and understand what the country is actually building.
I came back with a very uncomfortable feeling.
Not because I found a business idea for myself.
But because I saw 100 things that governments can do when infrastructure, tourism, transport, urban planning and civic systems are treated seriously.
I travelled within China by flights, trains, cars and local transport. The infrastructure was honestly stunning.
Clean cities. Smooth roads. High-speed trains. Well-managed traffic. Public spaces that actually feel designed for people. Tourist destinations that are built, maintained and promoted like national assets.
And then I kept thinking about India.
We keep comparing ourselves to China. Our media keeps telling us how India is catching up, how China is restrictive, how we are better in so many ways.
After spending time there and speaking to people, I realised how much of that narrative is just comfort food.
China is not perfect. No country is.
But on infrastructure, execution, tourism, civic discipline and quality of urban life, they are not 5 years ahead of us.
They are decades ahead.
The saddest part for me was the currency.
Everything felt expensive. Not because China was insanely expensive, but because the rupee has weakened so much that even normal spending starts feeling heavy. As an Indian taxpayer, that genuinely hurt.
We pay taxes. We work hard. We talk about becoming a global power.
But where is the quality of life?
Where is the civic sense?
Where is the infrastructure that makes daily life easier?
Where is the tourism vision beyond religious tourism?
I met travellers from other countries who were excited to visit China because they wanted to see its progress. When I asked about India, many had no real desire to visit. Not out of hate. India simply was not on their aspirational travel list.
That should bother us.
Even the so-called “closed internet” surprised me. We are told people there are missing out because they don’t use Google, Instagram, WhatsApp or Facebook.
But China has built its own digital ecosystem. Payments, maps, transport, messaging, shopping, everything works inside their own infrastructure. People did not seem to feel deprived. They seemed adapted.
Again, this is not a hate post.
I love India. That is exactly why this trip bothered me.
Patriotism cannot only be about saying we are great.
Real patriotism is having the courage to admit where we are falling behind.
China made me realise one thing very clearly:
India’s potential is not the problem.
Execution is.
And unless we stop comforting ourselves with comparisons and start demanding better infrastructure, better governance, better tourism, cleaner cities and a higher quality of life, we will keep celebrating the idea of progress instead of actually living it.
@ThePuneMirror Shouldn't he have bought into a Desi EV by @TataMotors or @Mahindra_Auto
Why are ministers flaunting wealth & affluence by buying premium German brands? @PMOIndia also warned against currency outflows? No austerity measures for @BJP4India ministers? All for common man... Amazing
@TheSincereDude Plus, we are not even getting 100% petrol... It's adulterated & the sugarcane juice mix is taking a toll on the vehicles & the environment... Not only are the retail prices coming down, this is profiteering of unknown oroportions for a few...
Similar experience... Had called for cleaning ACs but noticed reduced cooling by all ACs. Called a local guy who said that it seems earlier tech had deliberately let out some gas & reduced pressure... Will never hire UC ever again.... We doubted the local guys but they seem to be a better bet than these devious large centralized service providers...
@ChanakyaShah TWT has revolutionized protein mkt & brought trust and authenticity to the products! Other confectionery brands will try hard to dent their credibility....
@MMRDAOfficial@AshwiniBhide@mybmc why is lane-making on Mumbai roads optional and hence non-existent? One doesn't see any lane marking on LBS road, between Kurla to thane..
Why can't BMC make manholes flush with the road? Most manholes are either potholes or bumps... Why?
Why can't your staff level the re-layered patch with old road? Why do they have to use excess bitumen to make a small mound and cause traffic to slow down?
Just these basic sensitization & actions will cause lots of fuel to be saved while making commutes comfortable
@Dev_Fadnavis@CMOMaharashtra@mieknathshinde
@MMRDAOfficial Please ensure that the newly freed roads are also levelled & smoothened... Else, potholes or undulating surfaces make drives cumbersome & slow, ensuring all this planning getting reduced to a PR campaign
