Very intetesting &insightful article that PassBlue published. Apart from focussing on the upcoming SG race it highlights some of the compromises made by past SGs to ensure their success in the race.

That was very quick! But the silence on Sandeshkali is so loud & haunting!

Big breaking: Supreme Court: Mandating no disclosure of political contributions through electoral bonds is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. SBI to provide all details to Election Commission of bonds since 2019 and ECI to publish on their site. Note: bulk of electoral bond funds have gone to BJP in last decade. More details of SC verdict on @LawTodayLive

@FltLtAnoopVerma Very well said!! It's a pity that people like her who can genuinely make a difference go down this path & destroy themselves.People trust them & elect them to Parliament & get cheated.When your own actions are so much in the shade demanding accountability from others is unethical

[Balasubramaniam Murali @bmurali]

If u r willing to set aside everything else incl politics & listen objectively one can truly understand the depth & Vista of Bharat! It not only gives you goosebumps but you can reflect on what's the true potential! Pity that for so many years our children were not learning these

[मैं हूँ Sanatani 🇮🇳 🚩🚩 @DesiSanatani]

@TimesAlgebraIND What is Bharat?

Listen to PM Modi, it will give you goosebumps 🔥

Double standard at its best! Medal vapisi is fine-that came just like that-no hard work. But the prize money is hard work!! They want all the attention for returning medals but will quietly keep the cash! Having the cake & eating it at its best! Media supports it-how convenient.

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

All those asking @Phogat_Vinesh to return her prize money, hey, don’t forget she earned it with sweat and toil Why don’t you step into an akhara and win medals for India.. only a sportsperson knows the hard work and sacrifice it involves to become an elite athlete. Character assassination is easy, playing sport for India sure isn’t!🙏

@DrSJaishankar We wish you, your family & everyone in your MEA team the very best for 2024 to enable you all to continue the fantastic work of positioning Indian diplomacy at the top! Living abroad since 2002 we never felt more pride than in the past few years in the Indian identity.

An excellent piece of guidance from UN Geneva. These are true not just for reports but even for posts!

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

We all have a role to play in stopping the spread of harmful misinformation online, which can result in people being left uninformed, unprotected & vulnerable during a crisis.

Before you share content online, pause to verify facts by asking basic questions.

[Balasubramaniam Murali @bmurali]

If indeed it's for a health reason then it is different. Otherwise for a Constitutional Office bearer - unacceptable. Breaking the oath may be! Will be interesting to see his stance during the Tamil Thai Vazthu that was also sung at the opening!!

Good points to debate. But what has Congress/I.N.D.I. Alliance got to offer. One great chance they had-in getting you elected as Party President-they blew it.Barring you & Sachin Pilot nearly all Gen Nxt has deserted Congress. Missed opportunities to atleast be a solid opposition

[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

So Prime Minister @NarendraModi will inaugurate the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on January 22nd and the BAPS Hindu Temple in Abu Dhabi on February 14th. I expect elections to be called very soon thereafter.

The message is clear. In 2009, Mr Modi was sold to the Indian electorate as the avatar of economic development, the CEO of Gujarat Inc., who would bring development to all Indians. In 2019, with that narrative collapsing in the wake of the disastrous demonetisation, the Pulwama terrorist attack gave Mr Modi the opportunity to convert the general election into a national security election. In 2024, it is clear the BJP will now revert to its core message and offer Narendra Modi to the nation as a Hindu Hriday Samrat.

All of this begs the question: what happened to achhe din? What happened to 2 crore jobs a year? What happened to economic growth that would benefit the lower rungs of the socio-economic ladder? What happened to putting disposable income into the pockets and bank accounts of every Indian? These questions will have to be debated in an election that is shaping up to be Hindutva versus popular welfare.

Thank you New York Times. Thank you for the racial jibe & the ridicule. Thank you for doubting our abilities. Thank you for laughing at us.

Today we did not knock on the door. Today, we kicked the door down.

Now, go and draw a new cartoon. Go…

Great credit to all the scientists & team at ISRO!! Immense credit also to visionary leadership of the Prime Minister & his team for staying with the mission even after 2 attempts @ huge cost!!Once in a generational moment for India & the world!!

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Chandrayaan-3's triumph mirrors the aspirations and capabilities of 140 crore Indians.
