Whenever the Samajwadi Party tries to act all concerned about paper leaks, people need to remember the actual history here. Back in 1992, the BJP in UP made cheating a non-bailable offense to put a stop to it, but as soon as SP came to power in 1993, they scrapped that law entirely. That single decision basically paved the way for "self-study centers," where students could cheat right inside their own classrooms with zero oversight. When the BJP came back in 1997, they had to spend their time cleaning up that exact mess. Honestly, the damage from what SP did back in '93 was so deep that we literally needed a brand-new law passed in 2024 to finally tackle the problem properly. You can't create the very conditions that allowed organized cheating to flourish for decades, and then years later pretend to care about exam integrity just because it grabs a headline today. It’s completely hypocritical. Say what you want, but Yogi Adityanath has actually treated this issue as a matter of principle rather than just playing optics. That’s why the toughest law against paper leaks in the country’s history was brought in under the BJP, not them. Honestly, #TumToChupHiRaho. https://t.co/tVoj7rdnmp

DELHI GYMKHANA CLUB. THE LAST VESTIGE OF COLONIAL INDIA AND THE REDOUBT OF BABALOG (LUTYENS) PRIVILEGE, NEPOTISM IS NOW GOING TO BE CLAIMED BY THE CENTRE. Centre Moves to Take Back Delhi Gymkhana Club Land, Cites Defence and Public Security Needs In a significant move, the Central Government has ordered the re-entry and resumption of the Delhi Gymkhana Club premises located at 2, Safdarjung Road, New Delhi, stating that the land is required for urgent public and strategic purposes. The order was issued on May 22, 2026, by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs through the Land & Development Office (L&DO). The government stated that the property, spread across 27.3 acres, lies in a highly sensitive and strategic area of the national capital and is now needed for strengthening defence infrastructure, public security arrangements, governance infrastructure, and other public-interest projects. According to the communication, the premises had originally been leased to the Imperial Delhi Gymkhana Club Ltd., now known as Delhi Gymkhana Club Ltd., for the purpose of maintaining a social and sporting club. The Delhi Gymkhana Club is considered one of the oldest and most prestigious clubs in India. The club shifted to its present location in 1913 and was then known as the “Imperial Delhi Gymkhana Club”, with Spencer Harcourt Butler serving as its first President. After India attained Independence in 1947, the word “Imperial” was dropped and the institution came to be known simply as the Delhi Gymkhana Club. The club traces its origins to July 1913. In its early years, the Polo Club functioned as part of the Gymkhana Club before becoming a separate entity in the 1930s after shifting to New Delhi. Historical records relating to the club’s origins are limited, and systematic documentation of its history is understood to have begun only around 1927. Referring to Clause 4 of the lease deed, the Centre noted that the lessor has the authority to re-enter the premises if the land is required for a public purpose. Exercising those powers, the President of India, acting through the L&DO, has determined the lease and ordered immediate re-entry of the property. The order further states that the entire land parcel, along with all buildings, structures, lawns and fittings standing on it, shall vest absolutely with the President of India through the Land & Development Office. The Land & Development Office is scheduled to take over the premises on June 5, 2026. The Delhi Gymkhana Club has been directed to hand over peaceful possession of the property on the said date, failing which possession would be taken in accordance with law. The communication was signed by Deputy Land & Development Officer Suchit Goyal and issued with the approval of the competent authority.

Just a reminder, the U.S. is shooting its own tires ... Canada is the largest export market for U.S.-made vehicles, with the U.S. shipping US$23.2-billion worth of vehicles here in 2024. That’s more than the U.S.’s next seven largest export markets — Germany, Mexico, China, United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Belgium — combined, according to the International Trade Administration. Stephen Beatty, a former Toyota Canada executive, has said that the current policy landscape encourages automakers to ship from manufacturing operations outside North America, particularly if they have a free-trade agreement with Canada. “Whatever the U.S. thinks it’s doing, the problem is they’re giving up the one good export market they’ve got,” he said. “It’s a perverse impact of U.S. policy. They think they’re protecting the U.S. market, but the U.S. market continues to decline.”
