GIVE VINESH SILVER! 🥈

[ESPN India @ESPNIndia]

A year of protest against the federation chief.
Slept on pavements for 40 days.
Was beaten, dragged by the police.
Nearly immersed all her medals in the Ganga.
Underwent knee surgery.
Sealed her Olympic spot after an unforgiving qualification process.
Became the 1st Indian woman wrestler to qualify for three successive Olympics.

And now, she's beaten the unbeatable defending champ, won two more bouts to become the first Indian woman to reach a wrestling Olympic final.

Words fail to appreciate what Vinesh Phogat has just done.

அரசு வழங்கும் இலவசத்தை இன்றளவும் கேவலமாக பேசும் நபர்களால் கண்டிப்பாக இதை புரிந்து கொள்ள முடியாது ஆனால், ஒருபக்கம் இந்த சமூக நல திட்டங்களின் அடித்தளம் என்பது மக்கள் யாரிடமும் உணவுக்காக கையேந்த கூடாது,

குறிப்பாக தனி நபர்களாக வசதியாக இருக்கும் நில உடைமையாளர்களிடம் சென்று கையேந்த கூடாது ! என்பதற்காக கொண்டு வரப்பட்ட அரிசி திட்டம் நியாய விலைக் கடை போன்ற அனைத்து இலவச திட்டங்களும் இதை எல்லாம் கலைஞர் அன்றே செயல்படுத்தினார்..!

Why is the monthly Salary not able to support the expenses in the family for the last 10 days each month..... Have you thought about it?

Let me share an example

I have been purchasing Parle-G Biscuits for many years. Always a few packets that cost ₹10/- each.

After many decades, I am still able to buy a packet for ₹10/- each. The price tag remained the same. But the contents in the packets have steadily reduced. From 100 grams unit to now 55 grams packet. The size and number of biscuits too have reduced.

That is inflation explained in a nutshell. The value of ₹10/- has reduced substantially.

That is how your purchasing power gets lesser even as your salary stays stagnant.

Why is the Government not complaining.

The answer my dear lies in the GST. The government charges 18% GST on every ₹10/- Parle-G biscuit packet. While you get 45 % less biscuits for the sake ₹10/- that you spend, the Government does not suffer a single paise in taxes. In fact the VAT on these biscuits was 12% before #ModiGovt rolled out it's blessed #GST.

Parle-G was just an example, since we all relate to this better.

But this is true in each and every product in the FMCG List.

The Government has trained the minds of people to focus on some imaginary danger (...खतरे में है)kind of crap. So they do not pay attention to the organised loot.

So, I felt, let me do this honour of attempting to make you think for yourself...and decide....is it a fair deal that you get under this government?

WHY YOU MUST VOTE BJP OUT IN 2024:
60 REASONS WITH FACTS AND EVIDENCE
By Sanjay Jha
No Jumla. India is bigger than any political party or leader. It deserves much much better. It is up to you now. Thank you.
1) The BIGGEST SCAM SINCE 1947: Electoral Bonds. Corruption, Criminality and Crony capitalism combined. The government told the SC; People have no right to know who funds political parties
2) Chandigarh Mayor election fraud under cameras: SC said; Murder of Democracy, mockery of democracy.
3) Patanjali: The government allowed the company to fraud Indians during Covid. Why?
4) Farmers were lied to by saying their income will double by 2022. Agriculture growth has been below average.
5) Demographic dividend story destroyed; Record unemployment among the young in India, has effectively damaged the “ India story”. 2 crore jobs per yer were promised.
6) The Great Washing Machine of BJP: 23 out of 25 opposition leaders who joined the BJP found their cases closed or in cold storage.
7) Abuse of Power: 95% of cases against opposition leaders by CBI/ED/IT etc.
8) Over 500,000 Indians died during Covid, and will you ever forget the nightmare of second Covid wave of 2021 ever in your life?
9) Instead of giving credit to vaccine manufacturers, a politician’s face was marketed on Vaccine certificates even as people were dying left, right and center. No other world leader sold themselves amidst the humanitarian tragedy.
10) Operation Lotus and resort politics to buy MLA’s lowered India’s stature. India resembled a banana republic.
11) MLA Stock Exchange boomed during 2014-24 as many opposition governments were toppled. Source of funds? Cash? Or was threats enough?
12) Lynching deaths in mob violence made India look like a Ku Klux Klan republic. But nobody cared.
13) Over 150 deaths and nearly 50,000 homeless in Manipur, but the PM of India has not even visited the state in 10 months. That is okay? Really?
14) What happened to the extradition of Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi, Mehul Choksi etc?
15) Do you know who is India’s Lok Pal and what exactly are they doing on anti-corruption since 2014? The UPA was defeated on this issue despite the fact that they passed the RTI and Lok Pal Act. You are fine with this?
16) In Dharam Sansads there was an open call for the genocide of Muslims. A deathly silence from the powers that be has since followed.
17) CAG pointed out serious corruption charges of approximately Rs 7.75 Lakh crore in the handling of infrastructure projects. No discussion because blanked out by Big Media
18) Rafale Scam: Yet to be investigated; why was a big industrialist favored over India’s biggest defense manufacturer HAL ? This issue is far from closed. Will need to be reopened.
19) The Adani Group Scam: The allegations are yet to be fully investigated. This does not need further elaboration as the markets have spoken. SEBI/SC looking into it. A potential financial heist could emerge.
20) The PM in 10 years has not held a SINGLE press conference, a world record. Seriously??? Why would that be? Democracy?
21) The 11 rapists of Bilkis Bano who was gangraped during the 2002 Gujarat riots were released on India’s 75th anniversary of Independence Day. Nari Shakti, anyone?
22) Women wrestling champions of India were forced to protest on the streets of Delhi for justice for many months, as they accused a BJP MP of sexual harassment. No one bothered.
23) A former Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Satya Pal Malik ( a BJP leader ) alleges that he was told to keep quiet after the Pulwama terror attack that killed 40 brave soldiers. A disturbing expose which has not been followed up. Why?
24) Over 16-20 lakh Indians have surrendered their citizenship and/or left India during the last decade. Acche Din? Why would they do so if everything was hunky dory?
25) Inequality has worsened during the last 10 years with 1% of Indians owning over 40% of its wealth. Inequality is worse than during the British Raj and only one rank better than South Africa.
