This is not a fight between the AAP and the Congress. The AAP isn’t even significant enough for that. This is a battle between the Congress and the RSS.

Kejriwal and his party are bonded laborers of the RSS. Their political journey began with the anti-reservation movement. To conceal that, Dipke was pushed to the forefront. He has still not been arrested because, CJP-AAP’s movement was not genuine.

However, the anger of the youth was real, which is why the Kejriwal–RSS camp could not retain control over the movement.

@RahulGandhi and @priyankagandhi are arrested within the first ten minutes, while Dipke continues to roam free to this day.

This is the reality we don’t want to see.

तोडलेली झाडं ही कमीतकमी 30 ते 80 वर्ष जुनी आहेत. नाशिकमध्ये दर 12 वर्षांनी कुंभमेळा येतो. याचा अर्थ ही झाड 6 ते 7 कुंभमेळ्याची साक्षीदार आहेत. हे सर्व कुंभ मेळे झाड न तोडता झाले. याच कुंभमेळ्यात ही झाडं का तोडावी लागतायत? नाशिक डोळ्यासमोर उध्वस्त होतंय. भावी पिढ्या किंमत मोजणार.

Below is the picture of Vikas Gurjar, who works in an illegal tyre incinerating factory in Morena District of MP (260 kms from Delhi). First world sends their discarded tyres to India under the gab of recycling. A chunk go into these tyre burning factories where tyres are incinerated to extract carbon black. This releases carcinogens that causes cancer of bladder, lungs and skin. But a smooth commercial trade from port to such factories in hinterland operate in front of every one. Infact what this article does not cover is the burning of tyres in brick-kilns for its calorific value that release black carbon making India one of the biggest emitters of black carbon in the world.

One reason AQI of 150 is sustained in whole of North India for the entire year is coz. of unabated existence of such commercial activities. Next time, people in Delhi-NCR worry about air-pollution, spare a thought on carbon soot released from here and scores of such plants that operate in UP, MP and Rajasthan.

PS - Morena district (on the main Agra-Mumbai Highway) is also the ground zero for fake paneer and khoya, fake oil, illegal sand mining from Chambal river that is supplied to UP and Delhi

"We are paying the first world to import pollution" as one researcher rightly puts it in this article.

🚨महाराष्ट्र राज्य निवडणूक आयोगा���े सप्टेंबर २०२५ मध्ये छापलेल्या अथवा प्रसिद्ध केलेल्या, ‘मतदान केंद्राध्यक्षांसाठी निर्देश पुस्तिका’ (Handbook for Presiding Officers) यामध्ये ��ार्कर पेनच्या वापरा बाबत स्पष्ट उल्लेख आहे.

🚨 “..मार्कर पेन दाबुन वापरावा तसेच मार्कर पेनचा वापर निशाणीसाठी डाव्या हाताच्या तर्जनीवर तीन-चार घासून करावा.” असा उल्लेख आपण या पुस्तिकेत बघू शकतो.

🖍️ शाई लावण्यासाठी तीन-चार वेळा पेन का घासावा लागला पाहिजे❓एवढे भिकारडे नियोजन❓दुसर्या मतदान आधिकार्यावर एवढा ताण का असावा❓ त्यांचे काम सोपे करावे की त्यांना तीन-चार वेळा मार्कर पेन दाबून, ध���सून शाई लावायचे कष्ट करायला लावायचे❓

🖍️🖍️ प्रतेयक बूथवर सरासरी ८००-९०० चे मतदान जरी ग्राह्य धरले तर ३/४ वेळा घासायला लागणे म्हणजे २,५०० वेळा मार्कर दाबून वापरायचा, धासायचा❓

❓काय हा बेजबाबदारपणा❓आधीची शाई लावण्याची सहज, सोपी पद्धत का��ून हा मार्कर कशासाठी आणला. आणि आणला तर ती शाई पूसली कशी जाते❓

😡 किती बेजबाबदार आणि निर्लज्ज अधिरार्यांच्या हाती मतदानाचे, ‘लोकशाईचे’ नियोजन आहे हे यातून स्पष्ट होत आहे.

@rajuparulekar How SEC managed BMC elections’

[Raju Parulekar @rajuparulekar]

🚨The SEC has singled out BMC for the use of a different set of EVMs and with different voting pattern.

🚨The use of Printing Auxiliary Display Unit (PADU) is unique to BMC. It’s use in BMC elections was publicly intimated by SEC only today, 14-01-2026❗️

▪️The SEC and the BMC Commissioner JUSTIFIED the use of PADU by stating it will be used only if necessary, as a measure of emergency.

🚨🚨Is that a logical, legal answer to the Question - ‘Why was the use of PADU not notified/intimated by SEC on 15-12-2025❓

🚨The SEC’s Press Release dated 14-01-2026 reveals two things unique to the BMC Elections -

(i) the Voters would cast ONLY ONE VOTE, unlike the multiple Votes for 3/4 candidates for those many wards, in other Municipal Corporations. Why Mumbai is singled out for this❓

(iii) the Counting of votes has to be done by connecting the CU to the BU. Why❓That’s not the case in Lok Sabha and State Assembly Elections where only CU is brought to the Counting Table.

Now tell me logically -

1. Why is BMC SINGLED OUT for One Ward, One Candidate, One Vote against Multiple Wards, Multiple Candidates, Multiple Votes❓❓

2. Why Bharat Chunav Aayog’s M3A EVMs are used only for BMC❓Why not for other Corporations❓

3. The SEC has to request the Bharat Chunav Aayog to loan the EVMs to it. The EVMs discontinued by the Aayog are provided to the SEC.

4. So why did Maharashtra’s SEC secure a different set of EVMs exclusively for BMC❓

5. The SEC shall also clarify in which Assembly or Lok Sabha Elections were these M3A EVMs it has received, were used earlier❓

6. The M3A EVMs loaned by Aayog were used for Assembly/Lok Sabha Elections with VVPAT. It could have been done for BMC too, as the elections to BMC are conducted similarly (one ward, one vote). Why the deviation in case of BMC❓

😡 How did it all come this pass and till today❓What was the Opposition doing all along❓

P.S. - The SEC, the BMC Commissioner are not immune to any action by the Courts of Law and the trials like Nuremberg. This PADU SURPRISE is and not in keeping with the Democratic norms of FULL PUBLIC DISCLOSURE. Their role shall be caused to be scrutinised by the Opposition MPs/MLAs through their respective Legislatures.

The link between the 300 cr Balbharati Road and TDR for Kumar Builders who got a massive township approved on Survey 44 in Feb 2019 under SRA need to be investigated

In the late 1920s, a young Indian woman boarded a ship bound for Germany to do her PhD. Her name was Irawati Karve. And she was about to take on one of the most dangerous ideas of her time.

[sushma date @sushmadate]

1. Both the road and tunnels will not help in decongesting traffic. PMC's own traffic surveys show that. So what's the point of spending 300cr on BB rd and ~900 cr on tunnels?
2. How will biodiversity and aquifers remain intact with construction of roads and tunnels? For BB rd, around 2k trees will be cut, for the tunnels >7k trees at all three exits. All will disrupt aquifer systems. PMC's record on mitigation measures is less than pathetic.
3. How can anyone guarantee no structures will be built on the hill? MIT already got one side of the hill dezoned from Hill Top Hill Slope and is in mad construction mode. The real estate developer who owns 80 acres on the hill on the Paud side has already got a township sanctioned under SRA in 2019. What will stop ILS, BORI, ARAI and the other entities that own sections of the hill from constructing hostels, buildings etc on either side of the BB road once it's built?
