The Indian Express has conducted an investigation, which reveals how rich people are exploiting the EWS quota available for poor general category students during the UPSC exam.

Children of businessmen, IIT graduates, and alumni of private schools with fees over 1 lakh a year had opted for the EWS quota to secure high ranks in the UPSC 2025 edition.

104 candidates were selected through this quota, which entails that family income (not individual) must be less than 8 lakhs per year.

The Indian Express found the following -

- 64% went to expensive civil services coaching institutes (64.4 per cent);
- 44% went to private schools
- 26% candidates had parents who ran businesses
- 9.6% had corporate jobs

All of them miraculously had a family income of less than ₹8 lakhs per annum.

The probe clearly reveals a lack of due diligence by the Union Public Service Commission. But, it also raises an important question -

If these officers start their careers with fraud, how can we expect fairness and justice from them in the long run?

It thus comes as no wonder that we read stories of corruption by civil servants and government officials all the time.

Honesty, just like charity, begins at home!

The purpose of the EWS quota was fairness, but many privileged future bureaucrats from well-off families are ruining it for everyone (particularly the poor).

दारोगा जी को क्या पता कि बुजुर्ग को लतियाते समय कोई बस यात्री वीडियो बनाकर वायरल कर देगा। जिसकी बाद में जांच होगी।

वायरल वीडियो UP सहारनपुर जिला के घंटाघर क्षेत्र हनुमान मंदिर के पास की बताई जा रही है, जहां दरोगा जी किसी व्यक्ति को जूता पहने लातों से मार रहे हैं।

वीडियो की पुष्टि हम नहीं करते, जांच कर कार्यवाही की जानी चाहिए।

Paid for 2AC comfort... ended up fighting for our own seats.

Traveling in Himgiri Express from Howrah to Ambala, the journey was smooth until Patna. Soon, unauthorized passengers entered the reserved 2AC coach, leaving genuine ticket holders struggling for space.

Complaints were raised through #RailMadad and 139. RPF finally intervened at Ara station and took action.

The question is simple:

Why should passengers pay extra for 2AC if reserved coaches aren't actually reserved?

Grok is a headache for many, specially the council of ministers, government of India. It exposes everyone.

This time it’s Dharmendra Pradhan, who arranged for an international SIM card for his daughter from a public sector undertaking PSU. Sim card was approved after six months, but she used it and spend 68,000+ rupees on it.

At the moment, Dharmendra Pradhan is involved in 89 paper leaks.

Still going strong, their basic tenant, keep them uneducated and teach them through WhatsApp university.

This is Bharti janta party.

[Saket Gokhale @SaketGokhale]

Digest this shocking number: ₹2,586 crore

THIS is the amount spent by the Modi govt's own ad agency promoting itself in just 5 and a half years through TV, radio, print, hoardings and digital.

I obtained the full break-up under RTI.

Here’s where ₹2,586 cr of public money went on Modi’s PR:

📺 TV + Radio = ₹936 cr
📰 Print = ₹796 cr
🛣️ Hoardings = ₹584 cr
📱 Digital and social media — ₹270 cr

And remember: this is ONLY ONE AGENCY. It excludes other ministries, PSUs and party ads. The real figure is far higher.

Not just that. The public money spent on Modi’s PR is also sharply accelerating:

👉 Digital ad spend: ₹14 cr (2020-21) increased to ₹131 cr (2025-26). Nearly 10x.

👉 Print: ₹338 cr in 2025-26 alone. That’s 4x compared to the previous year

Here's the part that should worry every taxpayer:

👉 I asked WHICH agencies received this ₹2,586 cr.

👉 CBC refused — citing "commercial confidence"

The govt will spend thousands of crores of public money on Modi’s PR but WILL HIDE who received the money.

Govt advertising is how Modi-Shah & BJP control the media.

When the reward for promoting Modi and BJP is ₹2,586 cr, are you surprised that our media is supremely compromised?

[Nalini Unagar @NalinisKitchen]

Just look at that black liquid. No, it's not diesel but actually cooking oil being used to fry your favourite fries at the AnTeRa restaurant in Hyderabad.

If you think you will go to a premium cafe and get good quality food, then you are a fool.

French fries: ₹165
Manchurian: ₹395

They are charging a premium amount for the food and using diesel looking oil to fry it.

If this had happened in the USA or UK, the restaurant would have been closed. Here, the Food Safety team sent them a very sweet notice and told them to improve.

SO SWEET.

This is newly built Navi Mumbai airport

It has started leaking even before the Monsoon has started properly

From Exam papers to infrastructure, nothing is leak proof in this Govt 🤡

[Smita Deshmukh🇮🇳 @smitadeshmukh]

Lake levels supplying Mumbai have plunged to 9.33% - leaving less than 40 days of stock. A delayed monsoon has triggered severe @mybmc restrictions.
​Here is the critical reservoir breakdown:
• Upper Vaitarna: 0% (empty)
• Tansa: 4.71%
• Bhatsa: 9.24%
• Middle Vaitarna: 10.34%
• Tulsi: 23.06%
• Modak Sagar: 29.00%
• Vihar: 42.11%
There is ​potable water cut at construction sites and swimming pools.
Ongoing 10% domestic water cut continues.
20% cut for industries, commercial hubs and clubs.

​Time to stop wasting a single drop. Fix leaks, skip car washes, and use water mindfully until the heavy rains hit. Sigh

[Kumar R Talukdar🇮🇳 @Kumarjyoti49291]

The Triple Engine Government's approach of logging, destroying forests, and urbanising land for ethanol facilities and data centres will exacerbate water shortages—is there anything else to expect from such policies?

[Concentrated Alpha Investor @multibaggerwala]

Yesterday my aunt called me and asked:

"Beta, my tigor is giving just 12 km/litre recently and I have to fill petrol again and again", her driver told her.

She asked me what to do?
Why is that?

I told her it's because of E20 petrol which is destroying her mileage.

She said her car was giving 17 km/litre before that.
She travells around 70 km/day.

Now if the mileage drop is 30-40%, it means we will be consuming 20% more petrol which will increase our crude oil import bill by 20%.
So it is not reducing our imports anyhow.

Stop this ethanol terrorism.
Even if this continues for a year, our vehicles will be scrapped.

How helpless this country seems to be!

[Manu🇮🇳🇮🇳 @mshahi0024]

👋📍Hello @HardeepSPuri @nitin_gadkari ji,

Every other country selling ethanol-blended fuel gives consumers a choice of fuel grades.

Why are Indians being sold only half the information?

And why are we not given the freedom to choose what fuel we buy with our own hard-earned money?

Or will giving people a choice reduce the profits of your family business?
