Not the ruling or opposition party puppet. Not a Babu or Neta. I lurk in the shadows. RTs are endorsements. Tweets won’t be deleted. Beans will be spilled.
Even more interesting that BJD got double the number of votes it got in 2014 when it last won the seat. Its vote share grew by 11% between 2014 and 2020!
The electoral juggernaut of Naveen Babu is truly unparalleled in the country, even greater than the Modi-Shah engine!
Odisha Bypolls Thred:
You may be unsure of how #USElection2020 results will turn out. You may be unsure of your career choices. You may be unsure of many things but not the fact that @Naveen_Odisha will prevail in an election in #Odisha.
Balasore was not an easy contest at all. Won by BJP in 2019. Voter turnout of more than 70%. Son contesting seat after death of his father, carrying huge wave of sympathy vote. Blessings of Balasore MP, top brigade of BJP and shadow of Modi-Shah. And yet #NaveenPatnaik prevails.
Being a Muslim-majority province, Bengal was not an exception to that rule. The streets and villages of Bengal echoed with the cries of ‘ladke lenge Pakistan’.
And then came Shyama Parasad Mukherjee. And at least a part of Bengal, remained with India. #history#swarajya
According to the census of 1941, Muslims comprised 53.4 per cent of the population of Bengal province; followed by Hindus at 41.7 per cent, and a miniscule population of animists, Buddhists and Christians. #history#thread
Conscience of Bengali Hindu was shaken in immediate aftermath of the two horrible genocides, engineered by none other than Premier of Bengal, H S Suhrawardy himself, and by Islamic fundamentalist forces unleashed by Pakistan movement, which was gaining ground throughout India.
@pratyasharath Freedom of speech without reasonable restrictions.
Whites are a demographic majority in US & UK unlike in India where Brahmins are less than 4.5% of total populace. Maybe, her education teaches her to treat different minorities differently and judge & teach which lives matter.
Retd. Col. Ajai Shukla is indeed having a hard time getting a grip on the situation. Gone are the days when he would quickly rush into a MoD Secretary or a ranking General's house with a Macallan 1979 and calmly negotiate AgustaWestland as a better buy over Sikorsky. #trivia
Section 9B of MMDR Act 1957 mandates the State Governments to establish DMFs. State Governments are also responsible for operating it. Do not see why this is source of awe. DMFs in other states follow respective State administrations.
Part of the nation wants to remove anglicised names, part of the nation considers Urdu-Persian names as a legacy and we just want them to remain as they are. Government should stop inventing names like these. If they desist, others will.

I don't know what you guys feel, but what's the need for calling Badadanda as Grand Road and Sinhadwara as Lion's Gate?
Don't want big activism on this, but somewhere this doesn't look nice. It's like calling Taj Mahal as Taj Palace and Bada Deula as Big Temple.
Such has been the impact, that Ayurveda today gets clubbed with Homeopathy as 'alternative' medication when allopathy therapeutics don't work. You'll find 20 op-eds on #CORONIL and #Ramdev and yet none on the actual players in the Big Pharma. Bread & butter of those who outrage.
As of today, 385 therapeutics and 136 vaccines have entered trials between Stage I-IV across the world. All of them publicised on mainstream media as #COVID19 cure before even passing Stage-III. #BigPharma Gilead, AstraZeneca, Junshi & FSD plugged millions in op-eds. (Thread)
From patient influencers to hit jobs on traditional forms of medication, in the last two decades, Big Pharma has gotten elected politicians, appointed friendly editors in media networks and systematically destroyed Indian knowledge systems like #Ayurveda, #Siddha and #Yoga.
