“While the plan of controlling cooperatives continues to play out through various means, the overturning of an election won by the Congress led Opposition marks a new level of brazenness by the BJP”

Mother Dairy and Amul increase prices.
Rice already costs 14% more than a year ago
Eggs expected to cost 30% than they did

Achche Din?

[barkha deva @barkhad]

The most common source of protein for Indians expected to become 30% costlier. Maize increasingly being diverted to ethanol production adds to the input price pressure.

Food has always had a special place in my story. It was while looking for a good meal that I met Rajiv, and fell in love.

Years later, India came to me the same way, one meal at a time. At first the variety amazed me and the spice scared me. Now dal chawal is the taste of home, and I can't go a day without it.

Agniveers don’t want extension, they want state govts to give them the govt jobs that were promised. Wonder what ruling parties in election going states have to say about this?

If you live in Delhi and are choking because of the pollution, please check the social media timeline of your local MP - anything on pollution? Any concern raised about you, the voter? Is the crisis even acknowledged?

If not, please ensure that you remember it when you vote next

Gujarat, richer than Keralam & projected as a model of development, but on:
Multi-dimensional poverty - Keralam 20 times less
Infant Mortality - Keralam 4 times less
Women with 10 yrs schooling - Keralam -87% vs Gujarat 38%
Rural Open Defecation - Keralam -0, Gujarat 32%

What a phenomenal day in the world of books. Haven’t witnessed such buzz for a book in such a long time (maybe never in this generation). So heartwarming. Please shop local, support your nearest indie bookstore—and then sit back and savour this stirring, full-of-heart memoir.

And the voters who were sent ‘logical discrepancy’ notices still don’t know the status of their names! Neither do their BLO’s. What an absolute mess

[Sushant Singh @SushantSin]

What a mess, a total and complete one.

[barkha deva @barkhad]

Why has the Parliamentary Committee on Home Affairs dropped the air pollution issue from the agenda for its meeting?
Glad that @ajaymaken objected to this crucial issue being dropped. Have any other MP’s from Delhi raised concerns about the way their constituents are choking?

[Hindustan Times @htTweets]

As Delhi gasps for clean air, pollution in NCR dropped from Parliament panel meeting agenda

Delhi: On rising air #pollution , endocrinologist Dr. Ambrish Mithal says, "People often think that the currently increased air pollution affects only our lungs or heart, but it also has many metabolic effects, impacting our #bloodsugar , weight, insulin secretion, and insulin action. The tiny PM 2.5 particles reach our blood through the lungs, travel throughout the body, and can cause inflammation in the pancreas as well as insulin resistance in fat tissue"
