Rahul Gandhi’s reply to Elon Musk’s tweet today exposes two things that define Rahul Gandhi’s and the Congress ecosystem’s politics. Nothing exposes them better than this one tweet.
First, when discussions were going on last year about Starlink’s possible entry into India, the Congress party opposed it, alleging that this was being done to support businessmen close to Prime Minister Modi. They even brought in the national security angle to oppose Starlink’s entry.
And now, the same Rahul Gandhi has made a complete U-turn and is pushing for Starlink’s entry into India. He has not only reversed his party’s stand from a few months ago, but has also conveniently forgotten the national security arguments his own party had raised then.
This shows that Rahul Gandhi’s opposition is simply for the sake of opposition. When they thought the Modi government was supporting Starlink, they opposed it. Now, when they think the government is opposing it, they are supporting Starlink.
They can sway whichever way they want, as long as it is to oppose Modi. Principles, consistency and even national security can be conveniently forgotten.
Second, look at what has happened today and how history has parallels to this.
Rahul Gandhi is supporting a foreign businessman because he believes Indian businessmen are close to the Prime Minister. He seems willing to welcome a foreign businessman to challenge Indian businesses simply because he believes those businesses support Modi.
This reminds us of Jaichand. There are many such examples in Indian history where our own people sided with foreign interests to further their individual political ambitions. Every time, such choices cost the nation dearly. These divisions and betrayals contributed to centuries of foreign domination and subjugation.
Rahul Gandhi seems determined to replay the same textbook.
But this time, the consequences could extend beyond political hegemony to technological and economic dependence as well.
And for what? Just to oppose Modi?
Will you oppose India just to oppose Modi, Mr. Rahul Gandhi?
It is unfortunate that we have a Leader of Opposition like you, Mr. Rahul Gandhi.
Bengaluru witnessed two events this week ….. Tiranga Yatra by @yuva_brigade & anti SIR rally today by cockroaches . Numbers , speeches , energy & culture, Bengaluru has seen both . You can fool people on social media but not on ground. Bharath trumps anarchists one more day .
It is depressing to see policemen crying like this. They must take off their uniform and become ordinary men to defend themselves if uniform is an impediment
All Hindu Organizations should also be at Jantar Mantar on 10th October to counter CJP
Be it ABVP, Bajrang Dal, or any other Hindu Organisation working on the ground
RT if you Agree!
These roaches don't believe in constitution because NDA rose to power with the same constitution. There is absolutely not even a speck of doubt on corruption on PM Modi. These people cannot stand developed and corrupt free India. They want Anarchy!
You may hold the power, but the streets belong to us.
And it is from these very streets that we, the people of India, will reclaim our democracy.
Jai Hind 🇮🇳
All the Bh@dw@s are on stage because they are paid actors of RaGa who is in turn a paid Pill@ of S0r0s. They want to destr0y my country. The educated people of my country, the nationalists whose aptitude & IQ are 1000x of these bhade ki tattus wil help keep the Democracy intact!
#Watch | YouTuber Dhruv Rathee, actor Prakash Raj and CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke join the protest against SIR in at Freedom Park in #Bengaluru on October 8. Dipke started his speech by asking protestors to raise the slogan "Narendra Modi Vote Chor".

For PM Shri @narendramodi Ji, nothing is greater than the opportunity to serve Bharat.
After 25 years in public life, what matters most is how far Bharat has come and the heights the nation has achieved under his leadership.
25 वर्षों का जनविश्वास मेरे लिए और अधिक ऊर्जा के साथ काम करने की प्रेरणाशक्ति है। ईश्वररूपी जनता-जनार्दन के लिए मेरा एक ही संकल्प है कि मैं देशवासियों की और अधिक सेवा करूं।
Gratitude to everyone for their blessings and wishes. What greater strength can there be than the trust and affection of 140 crore Indians?
🚨 URGENT: Call for Legal Action Against Foreign National Interfering in Indian Domestic Politics & Electoral Processes 🚨
We call upon the Ministry of Home Affairs (@HMOIndia), Ministry of External Affairs (@MEAIndia), and @BlrCityPolice to take immediate, strict legal action regarding an alarming violation by a foreign national.
As per the circulating video evidence, Dhruv Rathee, who holds German citizenship, is openly calling for and mobilizing citizens to participate in political protests ("Save Democracy & Vote" protests) scheduled in Bengaluru on October 8th and New Delhi on October 10th.
* The Legal Violation:
* Under the Indian Constitution, political rights and electoral participation are exclusively reserved for Indian citizens.
* Foreign nationals residing in India on specific visas or holding foreign citizenship are strictly barred from interfering in domestic political matters, organizing political campaigns, or leading protests under the Foreigners Act and Visa Manual guidelines.
Allowing foreign citizens to influence or instigate domestic political movements sets a dangerous precedent for national sovereignty and electoral integrity.
We urgently request the authorities to verify his visa status, examine potential violations of Indian immigration and criminal laws, and take strict, lawful action immediately.
@HMOIndia | @MEAIndia | @BlrCityPolice | @CPBlr | #RuleOfLaw #NationalSovereignty
Few actors possessed the intensity, individuality and unmistakable presence that Shri Nana Patekar Ji had. He brought remarkable versatility and creativity to every role and gave us characters that will be remembered for generations. He was also admired for his frank and forthright views, never hesitating to express what he believed in.
Shri Nana Patekar’s contribution to Hindi and Marathi cinema was immense. His passing leaves a deep void. My condolences to his family, friends and countless admirers. Om Shanti.
It is no normal journey.
Modi was swimming against a tsunami of hate generated by local forces aided by global forces from the moment he courageously faced the Islamist onslaught in Godra in 2001
For a decade local and global forces inimical to Bharat and him worked 24x7 to politically liquidate him.
He overcame and defeated all of them and conquered the country
He built a powerful psychic, political, philosophical, physical, financial, security infra and made the world look at India and him
The US which denied visa to him earlier invited him on its own All nations which denied visas to him did the same
He conquered the world for India. The morning consult US rates him since 2019 as the most popular leader in and out of India
He made India a global power of ideas and strategies
He is now a worlds most influential and respected leaders. World leaders look to him for lead
Thanks to him India’s statue is now higher than most nations’. Today the EU ambassador says at the famous Munich Security Summit
"I admit that countries like let's say the Netherlands or Italy or Germany are middle powers and will probably remain middle powers... In my humble opinion, India is a different story. You have the potential of going far beyond this description of middle power."
An India which was always enamoured of America in the past enters into mega and mother of all trade deals with all nations and blocks but cancels trade talks with the US
All this happened because of one determined patriot, nationalist of exceptional courage and hard work
He is the cutting edge product of the RSS whose 100 year mission made today’s Bharath and shaped Modi into what he is.
His 25 years in office is a continuation of his 50 years in the streets — the same hard work, the same struggle, in the same spirit.
I have observed him closely since 1990. He is to me the same simple man, though from a distance looks tough and different because-he is a loner in more than one sense
He is one man who has the blessings of the greatest saints and seers of India who continuously pray for his success. Some of them have told me they pray for him every day. Millions and millions of ordinary countrymen pray for him expecting nothing personally, only because he lives only for Ma Bharati
He is Mother Bharathi’s chosen son for Mission Bharath
Let the Divine bless to serve Ma Bharathi more - which is the only mission of him as I know. Once that mission is over I believe he will turn to where be really belongs — the Himalayas from where he came blessed by divine souls
Punarapi Jananam, Punarapi Maranam,
Punarapi Janani Jathare Shayanam;
Iha Samsare Bahudustare,
Kripayapare Pahi Murare.
Again birth, again death, again lying in the mother’s womb. In this difficult cycle of worldly existence, O Murari, protect me with Your boundless grace.
Congress paid INR 81.45 Lakhs to The Indian Express during the West Bengal Elections. The same Indian Express that recently tried to hit CEC Gyanesh Kumar.
Indian Express has no presence in West Bengal.
