@iRohanSachdeva Rohan bhai at the same time we deserve better than minions and chatukars like Nadda

[Kishore Taid @taidk]

A football club is only as strong as the community that stands behind it.

For 73 years, @GarhwalFC has been blessed with exactly that - a deeply connected community that has nurtured the club across generations, with its responsibility being passed on from one generation to the next.

That is why it was such a special moment to see the Members of Parliament from all three Lok Sabha constituencies of the Garhwal region come together to lend their support to the Club.

The timing couldn't have been better, as the club is coming off one of its finest seasons ever:

- Our women's team secured 6th place in its debut season in the Indian Women's League (IWL).

- Our men's team won the Delhi Premier League with an average squad age of just 19.2 years, earning promotion to the Indian Football League 3.

- Our U-17 girls have reached the semi-finals of the U-17 National Championship.

- 18 players from the club have represented the Indian National Team across different age groups.

We are deeply grateful to Shri @anil_baluni ji, Member of Parliament from the Garhwal Lok Sabha constituency, for graciously accepting the role of Chief Patron of the club and for hosting the event.

We were equally honoured by the presence of Shri @tsrawatbjp ji (Former Chief Minister of Uttarakhand and MP, Haridwar) and Smt. @MalaRajyaShah ji (MP, Tehri Garhwal).

This event marked another step in our journey to strengthen the bond between the Club and the Garhwali community, not just in Delhi and Uttarakhand, but across the world.

As part of the @BBFSchools development pathway, @GarhwalFC continues to provide young footballers with a bridge between grassroots football and the professional game in India.

Clubs may win trophies on the pitch, but they are built by the communities that believe in them.

56 inch Chest with a 26 inch Spine

BJP surrendered to the Cockroach Janata Party. Dharmendra Pradhan resigned. All FIRs against protesters withdrawn. Compensation for NEET victims accepted. Every single demand met. The 37-day protest at Jantar Mantar ended with CJP posting "Cockroaches won. Democracy won."

This did not have to end this way. And one of the main reasons it did is sycophancy.

For those of us who have been following Indian politics long enough, this movie is familiar. We watched it play out with the Congress party over two decades. The script is the same. Only the cast has changed.

Here is how the sycophancy spiral works.

A powerful leader consolidates authority. The people closest to them rise not because of their ability but because of their loyalty. These loyalists tell the leader what the leader wants to hear. Criticism is treated as disloyalty. Disagreement is treated as betrayal. Over time, the leader becomes surrounded by people whose only skill is praise. JP Nadda. Gogoi. Sanjay Jha. Digvijay Singh. Different parties, same species. They thrive not by being strong but by making the leader feel strong.

The problem is not that these people are sycophants. The problem is what sycophancy does to the information flow.

BJP's own supporters have been demanding Pradhan's resignation for months over the NEET examination scandal. Students died by suicide. Parents were devastated. The anger was real, widespread, and legitimate. But the people around Modi told him it was a non-issue. That the noise would die down. That the party's core support would hold. That Pradhan need not resign because resigning would show weakness.

This is what sycophants do. They filter reality. They present the world as the leader wants to see it, not as it is. And the leader, addicted to the dopamine of constant positive feedback, treats any dissonance as noise rather than signal. When you are in a sycophantic spiral, you are so accustomed to praise that even mild criticism feels like an attack. So you default to more praise. More reassurance. More "everything is fine, sir."

Until it is not fine. Until a satirical movement born from a Chief Justice's insult to unemployed youth puts people on the street and forces your Health Minister to sit across from two 20-somethings and accept every demand they put on the table.

Watch the footage of Nadda meeting the CJP representatives. This is India's Health Minister, a senior BJP leader, practically begging for a handshake. This is what sycophancy produces. Not strength. Weakness dressed in a party robes. When the moment demanded firmness, strategic communication, and a genuine engagement with legitimate grievances, the party sent a man whose instinct was to surrender because he had never been trained to fight. He was trained to agree.

Nadda showed BJP's core voters that the 56-inch chest has deputies with 26-inch spines.

This is the real cost. Elections are not won by core voters alone. Core voters will vote BJP no matter what. But elections are won by swing voters. And swing voters are watching. They are watching Nadda fumble. They are watching the party that projects strength act from weakness. They are watching a satirical Instagram movement outmaneuver the most formidable political machine in Indian history.

Even if swing voters are lost, core voters can be demoralized. They may never switch loyalties. But they may not show up at the polling booth. The dissonance for them is real. They signed up for a party that fights. A party that does not bend. When they see their leaders bend on national television, the gap between the party's self-image and its behavior becomes too wide to ignore. They may not articulate it. But the enthusiasm fades. The booth-level energy drops. The margins shrink.

Congress walked this exact path. A formidable force reduced to losing official opposition status within a decade. Not because the public turned against them overnight. But because the sycophants drowned out the grassroots leaders. Because the Digvijay Singhs, Gogois, Mani Shankars and Sanjay Jhas rose while the genuine talent was sidelined. Because the leadership stopped hearing the truth and started hearing only what made them comfortable.

BJP has one structural advantage Congress never had: it is not wedded to a dynasty. It has the RSS's organizational depth. It has a self-correction mechanism. But sycophancy corrodes self-correction. When the leadership structure is infested with weak men who have no real connect or command, the mechanism rusts.

Modi and Shah can clean house. They can replace the Naddas with fighters. They can rebuild the feedback loops that once made BJP the most responsive political organization in the country. But that requires acknowledging that the problem exists. And acknowledging that the problem exists requires hearing it from someone other than a sycophant.

That is the trap. And it is the same trap Congress walked into. And in all likelihood, BJP will continue to walk into.

In fact Pakistan had a dhurandhar in Indian security establishment codename HoneyBee. (Shinde said that he had no knowledge of it and he will investigate the mole after Adrian Levy and Cathy Scott-Clark revealed this in 2013!!)

To top it all, Pakis invited home ministry delegation led by none other than the then Union Home secretary just before 26/11, made them extend their stay to meet Pak interior minister. They were all stranded in Murree on 26/11.

Absolutely horrendous service from Swiggy for restaurants. They keep running 70% discounts on my restaurant despite gathering absolutely no permission from me. Can't even stop the discount because it is 'a shared discount' where I have the bear 85% of the discount.
