You can love your country without loving the government.
Even when “your” side wins, question and criticize them relentlessly.
Leaders come and go, but their policies shape your life and your children’s future.
Never vote in the name of religion. Vote for principles, not faith.
True patriotism demands vigilance, not blind loyalty.
The @ECISVEEP must clarify whether these 4,000 EVMs were indeed used in the recent West Bengal elections. Otherwise, we can't help but wonder whether this was truly an accidental fire or the same convenient and mysterious kind of blaze that, in Bollywood movies, always seems to erupt just in time to destroy crucial evidence.
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕವನ್ನು ರಾಜ್ಯಸಭೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಸುವ ಅವಕಾಶವನ್ನು ನನಗೆ ನೀಡಿದ ನನ್ನ ಪಕ್ಷದ ನಾಯಕತ್ವಕ್ಕೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ವಿಧಾನಮಂಡಲ ಪಕ್ಷಕ್ಕೆ ನಾನು ಹೃತ್ಪೂರ್ವಕ ಕೃತಜ್ಞತೆಗಳನ್ನು ಸಲ್ಲಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.
ಕಳೆದ ವಾರದಿಂದ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಜನತೆ ನನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ತೋರಿಸಿರುವ ಅಪಾರ ಪ್ರೀತಿ, ಆತ್ಮೀಯತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅಭಿಮಾನಕ್ಕೆ ನನ್ನ ಹೃದಯಪೂರ್ವಕ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು, ನಿಮ್ಮ ವಿಶ್ವಾಸದಿಂದ ನಾನು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ವಿನಮ್ರನಾಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ,ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಜನರ ಸೇವೆ ಮಾಡಲು ಹಾಗೂ ರಾಜ್ಯಸಭೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರ ಪರವಾಗಿ ಬಲವಾದ ಧ್ವನಿಯಾಗಿ ಕಾರ್ಯನಿರ್ವಹಿಸಲು ನಾನು ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ಬದ್ಧನಾಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
I thank my leadership and the Congress Legislative Party of Karnataka for giving me the opportunity to represent the state of Karnataka in the Rajya Sabha.
My heartfelt gratitude to the people of Karnataka for the immense love, warmth and affection you have shown me over the past week. I am humbled by your trust and remain fully committed to serving Karnataka and being a strong voice for its people.
PM Manmohan Singh literally removed security outside the US Embassy and brought JCB when an Indian diplomat was ill treated at an US airport.
Meanwhile US navy has killed multiple Indians and no one from Modi yo his minions are even able to open their mouths.
Forget Nehru, Chauthi fail can’t even match the toe nail of Manmohan Singh .
As I filed my nomination papers for the Rajya Sabha today, I did so with deep gratitude and a profound sense of responsibility.
Doing so from Bengaluru was particularly special. It offers a glimpse of India at its best - cosmopolitan, vibrant, and inclusive, yet somehow still able to make everyone feel at home.
Karnataka's rich legacy of social justice, innovation, and democratic values is an inspiration to keep working towards a more just, compassionate, and united India.
I hope to get the opportunity to serve with humility, sincerity, and unwavering commitment to the ideals of our Constitution, and to honour the faith that has been reposed in me by the leadership.
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.
BJP spokesperson Pradip Bhandari ended up egg-faced twice in 40 secs!!
Bhandari- CBSE has started a helpline number to address grievances of students.
Student- I called up that number many times. It is always busy.
Bhandari- CBSE has also issued an email ID.
Student- I have already emailed on that. Got no reply.
Bhandari- Have patience. Wait for a reply.
Student- It's been 10 days!!
Axios said Trump called Netanyahu:
'fkn crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you & Israel'
This is VERY significant, EVEN IF IT DIDN'T HAPPEN
Ask yourself: Why would Axios report this? Why would the Trump admin even leak it?
Collagen didn't work. Now it's peptide injections. 🙄
The science behind most of these injectables? Barely there.
The marketing? Immaculate.
These companies don't target the strong minded. They target the exhausted and frustrated — then charge them $300–$600 a vial for it.
Consistent training. Real food. Managing your health properly.
That's it. It doesn't trend because it doesn't sell anything.

What kind of loser are you even protecting, the one who can’t defend himself, has zero press conferences. The best you know about him is how he eats mangoes not how he runs the country.
As expected, Indian right wing trolls are now doxxing Norwegian journalist @HelleLyngSvends. Sharing her mobile number and even her home address online.
My colleague and I asked questions tonight both on why we should trust India given the human violations rights, and also about the visit.
I tried multiple times to get them to be specific on human rights, but I was unsuccessful. The representatives talked about India’s effort during Covid & also yoga, among other things. My colleague has the videos so I will try to publish tomorrow.
