BJP has released a video with the title ‘Congress means corruption’ with the same old 2G, Coal scam with a picture of Rahul Gandhi & Priyanka Gandhi.

So am sharing the ‘Adani ki Udaan’ episode by Rahul Gandhi. Watch and spread it. They’re talking about Fake scams of UPA but avoiding the recent scams.

In any of these scams, no one from the Gandhi family has been charged even after Modi govt being in Center for 9 years.

In 2G, even the court has given the verdict that there was no corruption and loss to the nation.

Meet Anthony, a Kenyan farmer, who uses biogas to power his home, car and boiler.

He showed us how and why he doesn't just use his chickens for eggs - proving that one man's trash really is another man's treasure.

Cost of solar PV modules, per Watt 📉

In 1975: $115
In 2021: $0.27

That's 425 times lower.

Unbelievable cost

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Congress just passed an $858 billion annual military budget. This is an $80 billion increase from last year.

The cost to replace every lead pipe in our country? $60 billion.

New paper on financial incentives to avoid "stubble burning" (agric. fires) in India. Standard contract that pays you after you've complied has no impact. But if some of the payment is made upfront, this becomes a very cost-effective way to reduce burning. https://t.co/ZCx9GpQfUG

Half of the people in the 🌎 live with less than USD 6.70/day (adjusted for international price diff).

If you make USD 46,000 per year, you’re already part of the global top 1%
