Every year, more than one lakh children die due to diarrhoea, in India. ORS(WHO RECOMMENDED FORMULA) is a life saver. It's very disheartening and angering to see
1. @fssaiindia giving permission to eRZL (looking exactly same as the high sugar ORSL), inspite of the harm caused to children for 2 decades, and inspite of us literally begging to not do it.
2. @Kenvue, your Indian subsidiary seems to be the most unethical company here. It doesn't seem to care for the lives of our Indian children! eRZL is being handed as ORS now. It's a shame!
3. The president of @iapindia, I hv literally begged u to ask Kenvue to rebrand in such a way that the new branding doesn't resemble the erstwhile high sugar ORSL, and instead you release a position paper influenced by Kenvue! The children of India vs Kenvue, and u chose Kenvue.
Dear citizens of India, history is repeating! I hv taken up this issue legally, but that's going to take years, as u all know.
It's time that u stand up for the children of India once again, and ensure history doesn't repeat!
@MoHFW_INDIA pls ensure only CDSCO approved drugs(ORS) are available in the pharmacies and not FSSAI approved beverages! This seems to be the only way to protect the children of this country.

@PrasadreddyPad4@kshitijgokul@naralokesh Everyone agrees that the courts should decide the sentencing of criminals. But if you make unhinged comments, there is no point in reasoning. Best way is to give unhinged reply like I did.
@PrasadreddyPad4@kshitijgokul@naralokesh 23 open cases on this guy across two states. Good cleanup. Shows how AP is strict like that Asad guy was encountered in UP.
@ramuknarik@sribharatm Only thing south can do after the 2027 census is protest. Which is shouting at deaf ears if the other states oppose tabling the issue when they have the power you gave them.
@ramuknarik@sribharatm What can you do now that you wouldn't be able to do later (with 50% increase)?
Strength needed to
Pass a bill: 50%+
Pass a constitutional ammendement: 2/3rd
Do you know how many seats south gets after census by default? Why would anyone table a seat freezing bill again?
@KaggaDurga@AndhraFact@VizagMail Pool land and give long term without protests. Why are you not in agri/related industries when the geography supports 3 crops per year?
Dear Dr. Tharoor, a few points here.
First, Article 81 envisages that seats in the Lok Sabha be allocated on the basis of population. The constitutional freeze linked to the 1971 Census was always temporary and was due to expire in 2026. In the absence of any intervention, a fresh delimitation based on 2026 Census will see several southern states facing a sizable reduction in their share. Due to your opposition to the bill, the Congress party is squarely responsible for this.
Second, India in 2026 is not India in 1971. Our population has grown from about 55 crore to nearly 146 crore. While Lok Sabha membership has remained virtually unchanged, the average MP today represents nearly 2.5 times as many citizens as an MP did when the freeze was imposed. Expanding the House is therefore a democratic necessity, not a political choice.
Third, if seats are increased to better reflect today’s population realities, retaining each state’s proportional share is a reasonable and balanced approach. It protects states that successfully implemented population stabilisation while simultaneously improving representation for all Indians.
More fundamentally, it is worth remembering that no state has a constitutional right to greater representation per voter than another. The Constitution’s objective is precisely the opposite: that every citizen’s vote should carry, as nearly as practicable, equal weight. The continuation of the present proportional balance is not a constitutional entitlement; it is NDA’s way of ensuring that states that acted responsibly are not disadvantaged.
As for your thought experiment, parliamentary influence ultimately flows from votes on the floor of the House. Whether a simple majority or a two-thirds majority is required, a proportionate increase for all states leaves those equations unchanged. If everyone receives the same proportional increase, nobody gains an advantage over anyone else!
@ShashiTharoor
Proterial is also building India's first amorphous electrical steel manufacturing plant at Sri City in partnership with Shiridi Sai Electricals.
Investment: ₹1,350 Cr
Employment: 300 jobs
The project will produce amorphous metal electrical steel, widely known as Metglas an advanced material used in distribution transformers to improve energy efficiency.
Sorry to hear this Kshitij!
Getting land in India should not be more difficult than literal space technology.
May have better luck in Andhra, Telangana, or Gujarat (Ahmedabad). Have seen a lot of founders gravitating towards those states instead of building in Bengaluru.
Big manufacturing story: From mining rare earths to making magnets - India’s strategy is moving up the value chain. Japan’s materials giant @indiaproterial is set to establish a ₹2,250 crore NdFeB permanent magnet plant in Andhra Pradesh, producing one of the most critical components for EVs, wind turbines and advanced manufacturing.

@Hidderkaran You need to deal with government officials if you do rainwater harvesting. Same with getting higher load power connection to your home to accommodate a reasonable ev charger.
