PM Narendra Modi : India celebrated its Republic Day on January 26 last year. Twenty-six... 2 plus 6 equals 8, and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto's birthday is on the 17th, 1 plus 7 also equals 8. Same same.

For the first time since India’s independence, petrol prices have crossed the ₹100 per litre mark in 27 of the country’s 28 states.

Arunachal Pradesh is the only state where petrol still remains below ₹100, at ₹99.60 per litre.

Narendra Modi has become the first PM to achieve this feat ❤️

RT coz nobody will tell you this.

Sr Journalist Sujit Nair’s opinion on the issue of - Kerala CM selection by the Congress Top Leadership is not only well understood but also well explained. 👍
————————————-
Congress took 10 days to decide on their Chief Minister in Kerala. So what ?

Congress took 10 days to decide on their Chief Minister in Kerala. But is that really a political crisis, or have we simply become too used to instant, centralised decision making

Democracy works through consultation and consensus. And genuine consensus takes time

More importantly, the Congress in Kerala was not choosing between weak or placeholder candidates. It had three politically credible leaders to choose from.

One, V.D. Satheesan. A hardcore grassroots leader with tremendous support among party workers and middle level leaders. Someone who also enjoys the confidence of alliance partners like the IUML.

Two, K.C. Venugopal. An organisational man, nationally relevant, and close to the central leadership.

Three, Ramesh Chennithala. A senior politician, seasoned administrator, and long standing party loyalist.

Now honestly ask this question. Which other major political party in recent state elections had such a serious leadership bench to choose from after victory?

The larger point is this.

For years, Indian politics has increasingly moved towards centralised leadership models where decisions are taken quickly by a small group at the top and communicated downward. That may look efficient. But efficiency alone is not democracy.

What happened in Kerala after the UDF victory was democracy in action. Freedom to choose, because party workers, supporters, and alliance leaders openly expressed support for their preferred Chief Ministerial candidate. There was visible lobbying, debate, pressure, and negotiation in the public domain.

I see sections of the mainstream media criticising this. I genuinely wonder why.

Isn’t this what internal democracy is supposed to look like? Or have we become so used to “high command culture” in political parties that any visible internal debate now appears abnormal?

Of course, political parties eventually need clarity and decisiveness after receiving a mandate. But suppressing independent voices and choices in the name of discipline cannot become the definition of democracy.

Political parties are not meant to function like corporate structures where everybody waits silently for instructions from the top.

Internal debate may sometimes look messy. It may even look chaotic.

But a system where nobody is allowed to disagree or openly support a leadership choice may look disciplined from the outside, while becoming deeply centralised from within.

Right-wing after 'Phule': Let’s not judge today’s Brahmins for the community's wrongdoings of the past.

Right-wing after 'Chhaava': Let’s vilify today’s Muslims by politicising Aurangzeb’s wrongdoings from centuries ago.

How fake is our GDP numbers? 🧵

BJP has started a new propaganda that we've reached a $4.3 trillion GDP. But even they don't believe these numbers, and nobody with eyes to see and ears to hear believes them either. We've been saying that there have been issues with the GDP formula since 2015. But nobody ever really understood what is actually wrong, how wrong we are, and what the implications are.

So, here is our humble attempt to explain @arvindsubraman’s paper, India’s GDP Mis-estimation: Likelihood, Magnitudes, Mechanisms, and Implications, published in 2019, which details what is wrong with our GDP. Dr. Arvind Subramanian served as the first Chief Economic Advisor to Narendra Modi’s government.

According to Dr. Subramanian our GDP growth rate is over estimated by roughly 2.5%. When we say our GDP growth is 7%, the real growth is around 4.5% according to his study. He also present very credible evidences.

So our attempt here is to explain it as simply as possible. Please read till the end, though there are a lot of numbers involved, we hope you'll be able to understand exactly what went wrong with our GDP calculations. (1/n)

"He's With Rapists": Rahul Gandhi Slams PM Modi Over Bilkis Bano Case https://t.co/t2rVNN0M27

[Ashok Swain @ashoswai]

A Muslim woman was gang raped, & her 14 family members were murdered by a Hindu mob in 2002 in Gujarat when Modi was Chief Minister. 11 Hindu fanatics who had committed the heinous crime & were convicted by the court have been set free by the Modi regime. https://t.co/6YMXZNxziE

[Mahua Moitra @MahuaMoitra]

Writ petition in Bilkis Bano case forced Gujarat govt to place all documents on affidavit in court. Indians can see for first time how & who allowed 11 rapists & killers to walk free prematurely.

Don’t need any locus standi to tell right from wrong.
