Despite 10 years of funding, #SmartCityMission has been limited to surface-level fixes on aging infrastructure.
The mission has delivered temporary solutions that lack a forward-thinking approach in strategies.

After all the ultra rich & powerful will want no accountability, no oversight, no news, no information. So that they can continue their loot. But if we stand against inequality & exploitation, we must protect laws like the RTI. No democracy without accountability.#RTI

Thomas Piketty, now member of a 11 member committee appointed by Telangana govt to analyse caste survey and inequality has been a vocal advocate for a wealth tax on India's super rich to address the widening inequality.

Even after 17 years, NSAP allocation remains stuck at just Rs 200-300. How long will this neglect continue? @asmi_26 & I analyse the NSAP budget 2025-26.

[Asmi @asmi_26]

For over a decade, the NSAP budget has been systematically undermined.

@nancy_pathak and I break down the numbers and discuss what a meaningful social security framework should look like

Hydropower is often touted as a clean energy source ⚡, but building dams in unsupportive regions threatens lives and livelihoods. We need to rethink our approach & harmonise safety & sustainability in energy demands. 💡🛑 #OneYearofTeesta3Collapse 1/n

Today marks one year since Chungthang dam collapsed due to the South Lhonak glacial Lake outburst. The devastation, exacerbated by the dam, continues to haunt Sikkim region as infra projects continue unabated alongwith rising temperatures. 🌍💧#ChungthangdisasterAnniversary 1/n

Nicobar (8,000 sq km) plans a mega-project: port, airport, city, power plant. But, the ecological, geological, economic & legal concerns along with the impact on indigenous people, needs careful review says @pankajsekh

The luxury property market in India has recorded over 1.5 times growth in the sales value of luxury homes priced at Rs 50 cr and above reaching Rs 4,319 crore in 2023. While the majority of Indians have per capita space of 10ft x 10 ft or less #TaxTheTop

More than 40% of India survives in less than 298 rupees a day. While the number of billionaires surges. #EndTheBillionaireRaj #LokSabhaElections2024

[Right to Food, India @rozi_roti]

Under Modi,corporate tax rates were slashed from 30% to 22% in 2019, leading to a revenue loss of Rs 1.84 lakh crore in two years.This amount exceeds the budgets of both MGNREGA and NFSA combined in 2020-21.

For ten yeaes we have suffered a fascist government whose sole achievement has been the billionaires wealth growing multifold. We've witnessed no "trickle down", no "wealth creation", "no jobs" -- all neoliberalism's favorite fig leaves. Vote out BJP. #EndTheBillionaireRaj

[Tax The Top India @TaxTheTopIndia]

Employment in manufacturing dropped from 12.8% in 2012 to 11.5% in 2018, far below Bangladesh's 16%. It's taken until 2022 to recover to 2012 levels. A lost decade for youth while Adani’s wealth increased by 1225% in 10 years.

In 2023, 46% of India's workforce is under-employed in agriculture, contributing only 15% of GDP. The FM's claims of skill utilisation seem wishful. He seems to be "skilled" only in enriching his corporate friends.
