I hope Sonam calls off his fast.

No authority cares for him or any values and his life ends, it is one more person gone for good in a system selling lands forests and water to conglomerates.

People in Virar, Vasai and Nalasopara have suffered badly in the last week.

Water is not draining.
Electricity and networks were down in several areas.
Homes, roads and daily life were underwater.

And yet this is not “big news” enough.

Accountability chain:

Vasai MLA — BJP
Nalasopara MLA — BJP
Palghar MP — BJP
Maharashtra CM — BJP
Municipal administration — under state control

When power is concentrated in one political ecosystem, excuses end.

These areas are barely an hour from Mumbai, but citizens are being treated like they live outside the map of governance.

Where is drainage planning?
Where is disaster management?
Where is electricity restoration?
Where is compensation?
Where is accountability?

People don’t need sympathy after floods.

They need names of those who failed before the floods.

I visited the southernmost tip of India.

I stood at Indira Point. I walked under trees that have stood for centuries. I dove into coral reefs among the most vibrant on earth.

And I sat with the people who live there. Tribal communities, whose land is being taken away by violating the Forest Rights Act. Settlers, many of them former soldiers, placed on these islands by the Indian government, who aren’t getting fair compensation.

The Modi government and BJP tells you Great Nicobar Project is about defence. It is not.

Expand INS Baaz - we will back the government fully. The Navy has been asking for expansion for five years - it has been ignored.

They tell you it is about a transhipment port. It is not. India is already building one in Kerala, which is on the mainland.

What it actually is: 1.5 crore trees felled. Coral reefs erased from official maps. Soldiers and tribals displaced - so one businessman can build hotels and casinos on India’s most irreplaceable ecological land.

Every young Indian I have spoken to understands this. You know that no amount of profit is worth destroying what can never be recovered.

I stand for ecologically balanced development. These islands can be the most extraordinary sustainable destination the world has ever seen. That is the India worth fighting for.

Vedant and his friends are brilliant, brave young Indians who asked CBSE and the Modi government simple questions - but got insults instead of answers.

They deserve a bright and secure future. We will make sure they get it.

[Pune Mirror @ThePuneMirror]

Pune's garbage collection system is facing a massive crisis, and the reason behind it is absolutely shocking. Out of over 10,000 workers assigned to keep our city clean, only about 40% are actually doing their jobs on the ground. A detailed internal report by the solid waste management department reveals that around 450 to 500 sanitation workers are allegedly deployed at the private residences of political leaders, including MLAs, corporators, and former office-bearers. Instead of cleaning the streets, these municipal employees are reportedly being used for personal duties like housekeeping and driving, all while drawing their full salaries from the taxpayer-funded PMC budget.
What makes it worse is that this isn't a new issue. The investigation shows that some workers have been completely absent from their original cleaning postings for 5 to 10 years. Even though a detailed report on this mess was submitted to senior civic officials last year, political pressure and frequent transfers of senior officers have successfully delayed any concrete action. With the city's cleanliness visibly suffering, PMC Commissioner Naval Kishore Ram has now stepped in and ordered a strict verification process, promising that anyone found guilty of exploiting the system will face consequences.

For years Narendra Modi sold the country as a vishwaguru, or teacher to the world. Yet India very often seems reluctant to divulge what, precisely, it wants the world to learn https://t.co/B3rewMLRFz

I’ve figured out India’s number one problem: false pride.

When a society becomes more interested in defending its image than fixing its problems, progress stops. Pride without self-reflection is not strength-it’s denial.

Hello Mr. Petroleum Minister @HardeepSPuri ji,

>Can the country know the real status of India’s fuel reserves?

>What strategy is actually being worked on to handle the situation, or is the entire plan just endless fuel price hikes while citizens quietly adjust their lives around your failures?

And one more thing …is your X account for addressing public concerns, or only for reposting Modi ji’s tweets all day?

[Cockroach Party of India @Cockroach4India]

The government sold ethanol blending as a way to reduce petrol prices for common people. But when crude oil prices crashed globally, where was the relief at the fuel pump in India?

If 20% ethanol blending was supposed to make petrol cheaper, why didn’t consumers see the benefit? Crude became cheaper, ethanol was mixed in larger quantities, yet petrol prices stayed high while taxes kept rising.

The truth is simple: citizens were promised savings, but what they got was a marketing slogan. The burden on the middle class never reduced. Governments celebrated blending targets, oil companies protected margins, and ordinary people kept paying inflated prices.

You cannot keep claiming “energy independence” and “cost reduction” while refusing to pass global crude price cuts to the public. People are not blind. If the system benefits only the government and oil companies, then stop pretending it is being done for consumers.

Zero debates on unemployment.
Zero debates on paper leaks.
Zero debates on inflation.
Zero debates on food safety.
Zero debates on the rising fuel crisis.
Zero debates on capital expenditure.
Zero debates on economic development.
Zero debates on R&D, science, and innovation.
Zero debates on education.
Zero debates on women safety
Zero debates on start up culture,
Zero debates on healthcare infrastructure.

And then look at these paid actors busy running government propaganda.

Here are a few important questions for Mr. Nitin Gadkari,
journalists may take note:

•Why do so many newly built national highways begin deteriorating within months? If India is spending massive public money on road infrastructure, why are potholes and poor construction quality still so common?

•As the Highway Minister, in what official capacity were you aggressively promoting ethanol when your son’s company was reportedly linked to ethanol-related business interests? Why should there not be an independent conflict-of-interest investigation into this?

•You frequently speak about India’s energy security, so why was your focus disproportionately on ethanol instead of genuinely green and efficient alternatives like green hydrogen ?

•Ethanol production in India heavily depends on sugarcane, a highly water-intensive crop. At a time when groundwater levels are collapsing across many states, how do you justify promoting a fuel ecosystem built around such unsustainable agricultural practices?

•What exactly is the financial innovation behind your highway model? Isn’t it largely dependent on continuously increasing tolls, extending toll collection beyond justified timelines, and placing multiple toll booths within short distances?

•Why are commuters still paying tolls on stretches where the construction cost has already been recovered? Who audits these toll extensions, and where is the transparency?

•If the core model is simply borrowing money, building roads, and extracting toll revenue from citizens, why is this presented as extraordinary economic innovation rather than routine revenue collection?

India is on a collision course: petrol would go to ₹125/litre; crude goes above 120-150/bbl and the dollar nears ₹98. Rising fuel prices push up transport, food, medicines, and power costs, while health and education infrastructure still struggles.
