My journey in the last eight years has seen me work closely with leaders who have since departed from the Congress party, yet my allegiance remains steadfast to the principles and values upheld by the party.
While individuals come and go, my commitment to the Congress party endures.
Through my experiences, I've witnessed the ebb and flow of leadership, but it is the enduring ethos of the Congress party that resonates with me.
Despite the exodus of leaders, my dedication to the Congress party stems from its long-standing commitment to social justice, inclusivity, and the empowerment of ordinary citizens. These values resonate deeply with my own beliefs and convictions.
Furthermore, my loyalty extends beyond individuals to the larger vision of progress and equality that the Congress party represents. It is a vision that transcends transient political alliances and personal ambitions.
In times of change and transition, it is more important than ever to remain anchored to the foundational principles that define us.
My unwavering support for the Congress party is a testament to my belief in its enduring mission to build a stronger, more equitable India for all.
Congratulations pawan ji 👍
It is an honour to be nominated to the Rajya Sabha from the beautiful state of Karnataka.
I am deeply grateful to Congress President Shri Mallikarjun @kharge, CPP Chairperson Smt. Sonia Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition Shri @RahulGandhi, General Secretary (Organisation) @kcvenugopalmp, and General Secretary Smt. @priyankagandhi and General Secretary Communications, Shri @Jairam_Ramesh for their faith in me and for their constant guidance, encouragement and support.
I hope to prove worthy of the trust and confidence that the leadership has reposed in me.
As to those who are congratulating me on the culmination of my ‘tapasya,’ I have only this to say: the journey is far from over.
My ‘tapasya’ will truly be over only the day Shri @RahulGandhi takes oath as the Prime Minister of India in 2029.
उत्तराखंड के मेरे प्यारे भाइयों और बहनों,
आज मैं आप सबसे मिलना चाहता था, आपके बीच बैठकर आपकी बातें सुनना चाहता था, आपके सुख-दुख, आपकी आशाओं और आपकी चिंताओं को समझना चाहता था। दुर्भाग्य से, मौसम की गंभीर खराबी के कारण ऐसा संभव नहीं हो पाया।
आज सुबह मैं पंतनगर पहुँच गया था। वहाँ से हमें हेलिकॉप्टर द्वारा अल्मोड़ा में जनसभा के लिए जाना था, लेकिन मौसम की प्रतिकूल परिस्थितियों को देखते हुए पायलट ने उड़ान भरने से साफ़ इनकार कर दिया।
मुझे आपसे बहुत सी बातें करनी थीं - उत्तराखंड की वर्तमान स्थिति पर, प्रदेश के आर्थिक और सामाजिक मुद्दों पर, राज्य और आपके भविष्य पर, और उन चुनौतियों पर जिनका सामना आज उत्तराखंड कर रहा है। पौड़ी गढ़वाल में पूर्व सैनिकों के साथ भी एक महत्वपूर्ण मुलाकात और बैठक निर्धारित थी। साथ ही कोटद्वार में दीपक के जिम जाने का भी कार्यक्रम था।
प्रकृति के आगे हम सभी विनम्र हैं और सहयात्रियों की सुरक्षा के साथ कोई समझौता नहीं किया जा सकता। कई बार परिस्थितियाँ हमारी इच्छा के अनुरूप नहीं होतीं, लेकिन इससे मिलने की इच्छा और आपसे जुड़ाव कम नहीं होता।
मैं आपसे वादा करता हूँ कि बहुत जल्द फिर उत्तराखंड आऊँगा। तब हम जल्दबाज़ी में नहीं, बल्कि पूरा समय निकालकर मिलेंगे, बात करेंगे, आपके विचार सुनेंगे और मिलकर प्रदेश के बेहतर भविष्य की दिशा में चर्चा करेंगे।
जल्द ही मुलाकात होगी।
आकांक्षा डॉक्टर बनकर देश और समाज की सेवा करना चाहती थी। आकांक्षा के पिता किसान हैं। बेटी के डॉक्टर बनने के सपने के लिए किसान क्रेडिट कार्ड पर ₹3 लाख का कर्ज़ लिया। और नागपुर में खुद कुक की नौकरी कर ली, ताकि बेटी वहाँ coaching कर सके।
एक पिता ने जो कर सकता था, सब किया।
फिर NEET पेपर लीक हुआ। परीक्षा रद्द हुई। उस अनिश्चितता में आकांक्षा हमें छोड़ कर चली गई।
आकांक्षा की मौत आत्महत्या नहीं - मोदी जी की एक भ्रष्ट, टूटी हुई व्यवस्था की देन है।
और धर्मेंद्र प्रधान जी? आज भी कुर्सी पर हैं।
फिर वही कमेटी। वही ट्रांसफर। वही जाँच। न सुधार, न न्याय।
मोदी जी, कुर्सी स्थायी नहीं होती - आती-जाती रहती है। लेकिन आपने 12 वर्षों में शिक्षा व्यवस्था को जिस हद तक बर्बाद किया है, उसकी कीमत भारत की एक पूरी युवा पीढ़ी चुका रही है।

@waglenikhil sir, The problem isn’t that you refuse to call Congress the sole champion of secularism. The problem is that people who make this argument almost always reserve their harshest criticism for Congress while expecting Congress alone to fight the battle against the BJP.
For decades, every political force that claimed to be an alternative eventually collapsed, compromised, or aligned with the very forces it claimed to oppose. Congress alone remained the principal national barrier against communal politics.
You don’t have to worship Congress. But pretending that Congress and every other party have contributed equally to defending India’s secular and constitutional framework is historically illiterate.
Some people are so obsessed with proving they are “not pro-Congress” that they end up normalising the very politics they claim to resist.
Neutrality loses credibility when it becomes selective outrage. And secularism loses defenders when those who benefit from Congress’s resistance spend their time weakening Congress instead.
Heartiest congratulations to @DKShivakumar on taking oath as the Chief Minister of Karnataka. This is not merely a personal achievement but the culmination of decades of unwavering dedication, relentless hard work, and steadfast loyalty to the Congress Party. His journey stands as a reminder that persistence, commitment, and faith in the organization are ultimately rewarded.
In an era where politics is increasingly driven by personal ambition and instant gratification, Karnataka has delivered an important lesson in loyalty, institutional respect, and political wisdom.
D.K. Shivakumar’s rise to the highest office in the state is a testament to his remarkable commitment to the party. Through victories and setbacks, he remained one of the Congress’ most dependable leaders, carrying the organization on his shoulders during some of its most challenging phases. His elevation as Chief Minister is not just a political decision, it is recognition of years of sacrifice and tireless service.
Equal credit is due to @siddaramaiah, a true party man and statesman. As a leader with immense mass appeal and a distinguished record as Chief Minister, he demonstrated that the interests of the party and the people must come before personal considerations. His graceful handling of the transition and his continued commitment to strengthening the Congress reflect political maturity of the highest order. Notably, it was Siddaramaiah himself who proposed D.K. Shivakumar’s name as leader of the Congress Legislature Party, reinforcing the spirit of unity within the organisation.
Behind this seamless transition lies the political astuteness of @RahulGandhi. Time and again, he has shown an ability to balance competing aspirations, accommodate powerful regional leaders, and preserve unity without public acrimony. Managing a transition involving two towering leaders while ensuring that the party emerges stronger requires patience, judgment, and strategic foresight.
The Karnataka transition is therefore more than a change of guard. It is a story of a loyal soldier finally receiving his due, a seasoned statesman putting the party above self, and a national leader ensuring that the larger organization remains united and focused on governance.
Congratulations once again to D.K. Shivakumar. May his tenure bring progress, prosperity, and effective governance to the people of Karnataka while strengthening the ideals and values that have shaped the Congress movement for generations.

The people of Karnataka placed their trust in us, and that trust remains our greatest responsibility.
Warm congratulations to CM Shri D.K. Shivakumar ji and the Council of Ministers, who will carry forward the aspirations of the people of Karnataka.
My sincere thanks to Shri Siddaramaiah ji, whose leadership and service have strengthened Karnataka and improved millions of lives.
The Congress party’s guarantees remain the foundation of our governance and commitment to social justice.
We will keep listening, delivering, and serving the people of Karnataka.
Well the RBI has denied the reports…
Few political statements have aged as poorly as Narendra Modi’s election-time warning that @INCIndia would take away the gold of India’s women and even their mangalsutras.
It was a remarkable claim, designed not to inform, but to frighten. Not to debate policy, but to provoke emotion. Gold was transformed from a household asset into a political weapon.
Today, reports suggest that India’s central bank may have sold a portion of the country’s gold reserves amid pressure on the rupee and foreign exchange reserves. Whether the sale was justified or not is a matter for economists. But the political irony is impossible to miss.
The man who built an election campaign around the fear that Congress would take away gold now finds himself presiding over an economy where questions are being asked about the nation’s own gold reserves.
The issue here is bigger than gold.
It is about a style of politics that thrives on accusations but struggles with accountability.
For twelve years, every economic challenge was blamed on someone else. Congress. Nehru. Global conspiracies. Previous governments. Yet when difficult economic realities emerge under the BJP’s watch, the rhetoric suddenly changes. The same voices that once shouted from rooftops about national wealth now seek refuge in technical explanations and reserve management theories.
India has seen genuine economic crises before.
In 1991, when the country faced an unprecedented balance-of-payments emergency, the Congress government did not invent enemies or launch fear campaigns. It took difficult decisions, acknowledged reality and initiated reforms that transformed India into a modern economic power. The leadership of that era confronted the crisis; it did not campaign on manufactured anxieties.
That is the difference.
One leadership treated citizens as adults capable of understanding economic realities. The other often treats fear as a political strategy.
No one should object to legitimate reserve management by the RBI. But if gold became a political issue when it suited the BJP, then questions about India’s gold reserves are entirely legitimate today.
What compelled these actions? Why was the rupee under such pressure? What economic conditions led to this situation after more than a decade of promises about a stronger economy and a stronger currency?
The country deserves answers.
Because in the end, the real story is not about gold.
It is about credibility.
A government that spent years warning Indians that someone else would take away their wealth now faces questions about decisions taken under its own watch. The politics of fear has a habit of colliding with reality.
And reality always leaves a paper trail.
‘Kalaignar’ M. Karunanidhi spent his life fighting for the dignity of the Tamil people, for social justice, and for the rights of the marginalised.
Not just a Chief Minister - he was a writer, a poet, a thinker. He believed in a Constitution that treats every Indian as equal.
My humble tributes on his birth anniversary.

CBSE अध्यक्ष - ट्रांसफ़र।
CBSE सचिव - ट्रांसफ़र।
एक-सदस्यीय “जाँच” समिति - गठित।
और असल ज़िम्मेदार, धर्मेंद्र प्रधान - सुरक्षित।
अधिकारियों को हटा दिया। मंत्री को बचा लिया।
यह जवाबदेही नहीं - यह cover-up है।
हमारी माँग आज भी वही है: शिक्षा मंत्री को बर्ख़ास्त किया जाए और स्वतंत्र न्यायिक जाँच हो - ये मांगें कोई मोदी सरकार की एक महीने पुरानी अंदरूनी फ़ाइल नहीं जो यूं ही भुला दी जाए।
अगर प्रधानमंत्री को 18.5 लाख CBSE छात्रों की परवाह होती - धर्मेंद्र प्रधान जी कब के हटाए जा चुके होते।
सार्थक, अपने सिद्धांतों पर अडिग रहो।

Warm wishes to the people of Telangana on Formation Day.
A land of courage, innovation, and progress, Telangana continues to inspire.
May the state continue to prosper and create opportunities for all.
Politics gives us many opportunities to judge leaders by their speeches. The real test, however, is how they behave when the cameras are off.
That is why Captain Amarinder Singh’s recent remarks about @RahulGandhi are worth reflecting upon.
The two had a well-documented political fallout. They disagreed, parted ways, and found themselves on opposite sides of the political divide. Yet Amarinder Singh revealed that Rahul Gandhi never stopped wishing him on his birthday. When tragedy struck his family and his cousin passed away, Rahul Gandhi personally reached out to offer condolences.
There was no election to be won, no headline to be gained, no political advantage to be secured. Just a simple act of humanity.
In today’s political climate, where opponents are often portrayed as enemies and public discourse is increasingly toxic, such gestures matter. They remind us that politics should never erase basic human values.
This is not an isolated trait. Throughout his public life, Rahul Gandhi has repeatedly shown an instinct to connect with people beyond political calculations. Whether it was sitting with grieving families after tragedies, spending time with workers, farmers and students during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, or engaging with people whose voices are rarely heard, he has consistently demonstrated that empathy is not merely a political slogan but a personal habit.
Many leaders command authority. Some inspire loyalty. Very few retain compassion after enduring years of personal attacks, relentless criticism and political setbacks.
What distinguishes a person is not how they treat their supporters when everyone is applauding. It is how they treat critics, former colleagues and political opponents when there is nothing to gain.
Captain Amarinder Singh’s words reveal something important: despite disagreements, despite distance, despite politics, Rahul Gandhi never forgot the relationship.
That quality has deep roots in the Congress, the belief that political competition should never come at the cost of personal decency.
In the end, elections are won and lost. Governments come and go. Positions change hands.
What remains is character.
And character is revealed in the moments when nobody is keeping score.
जेबकतरों से सावधान - आज वो CBSE के अंदर बैठे हैं। CBSE की गलती से नंबर ग़लत आए तो आपको क्या मिलता है?
एक bill:
Digital scan copy: ₹100/विषय
Re-totalling: ₹100/paper
Re-evaluation: ₹25/सवाल
अपनी ही answer sheet की सही जाँच के लिए एक बच्चे को ₹2000 तक भरने पड़ सकते हैं।
सोचिए, जब 4 लाख बच्चों ने ऐसे आवेदन डालें हैं तो CBSE कितनी कमाई कर रहा है।
जब scanning फ़ोन से हुई हो, ग़लत मार्किंग तय है। और उसे ठीक करवाने की क़ीमत बच्चा भर रहा है।
गलती CBSE की। सज़ा बच्चे की। कमाई सरकार की।
जब शिक्षा को सेवा नहीं, कारोबार बना दिया जाए तब गलती सुधारी नहीं जाती। बढ़ाई जाती है। और इसकी सबसे बड़ी क़ीमत हमारे बच्चे चुका रहे हैं - अपने समय से, अपने आत्मविश्वास से, और अपने भविष्य से।
A revealing chat with my fellow “anti-national Soros agents.”
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.
सांसद अभिषेक बनर्जी जी पर सोनारपुर में हुआ हमला बेहद निंदनीय है।
एक सांसद पर हमला सिर्फ़ एक व्यक्ति पर हमला नहीं - यह उस जनता पर है जिसने उन्हें चुना, और उस लोकतंत्र पर है जो हम सबकी साझी विरासत है।
यह BJP की बदले की राजनीति का घिनौना रूप है। राजनीतिक मतभेद कभी हिंसा का कारण नहीं बन सकते।
केंद्र और पश्चिम बंगाल सरकार - दोनों दोषियों पर तत्काल कार्रवाई करें, और यह सुनिश्चित करें कि कोई भी जन-प्रतिनिधि, किसी भी दल का हो, अपनी सुरक्षा को लेकर चिंतित न रहे।
अभिषेक जी, मेरी संवेदनाएँ आपके और आपके परिवार के साथ हैं। आप जल्द स्वस्थ हों।
NEET। CBSE। SSC। और आज CUET।
चार परीक्षाएँ। एक करोड़ बच्चे। एक भी ईमानदारी से नहीं हो पाई।
दावे "विश्वगुरु" के, मगर देश में एक परीक्षा नहीं करवा सकते - मोदी जी ने पूरी शिक्षा व्यवस्था तबाह कर दी है।
जिस पीढ़ी का भविष्य आप बर्बाद कर रहे हैं - वही पीढ़ी आपका हिसाब करेगी।
PM Modi also personally supervised the NEET paper leak.
