"Military coups and other violent seizures of power are rare. Most countries hold regular elections. Democracies still die, but by different means. Democratic backsliding today begins at the ballot box."

Minister in Vajpayee Govt, Arun Shourie EXPOSES Modi's Huge Corruption.
Modi as Gujarat CM had declared that Petroleum was discovered in Gujarat in 2005-06, CAG has found that 21,000 Cr was spent by Gujarat Govt and not one tea spoon of OIL was found...!!
To cover up the scam and his failure, when Modi became PM he forced ONGC to take over the Gujarat Company that had incurred such HUGE LOSS...
New book by @jaffrelotc not only explains “the rise of Modi in Gujarat and the ways and means he used to retain power for so long”, it distinctly and quite categorically talks about how Modi scaled up the same formula in India since becoming prime minister. #gujaratundermodi

'મારા કુટુંબમાં 14 લોકો ગુજરી ગયા, કામ ના હોય તો ભૂખ્યા બેસજો પણ અકીકનું કામ બંધ કરો'
ખંભાતનો એ ઉદ્યોગ જે લોકોના જીવ લઈ રહ્યો છે

And the training ends! For a full week, my BBC colleagues and I learned how to operate in a hostile environment - first aid, CPR, working in a war zone, negotiating with police & militias and more.
I am boarded on the metro, heading towards the Noida. It took more than one hour to reach supreme court from Barakhambha road, and we're stuck here. @OfficialDMRC#Delhimetro#dmrc#metro
