Haryana signed ₹4,000 crore with Swedish companies this week, and I read every report I could find on it, and not one of them names the company that is putting in the money, so before a broker sells you a Gurugram flat on this headline, read what was actually signed.
It's a letter of intent. One LoI is for ₹3,000 crore and the other is for ₹1,000 crore in retail and warehousing, and along with that Gurugram and Stockholm signed a sister city agreement for smart city work and urban development.
An LoI is a company saying on paper that it intends to invest. No money has moved yet, and plans like this take years to come on the ground; a lot of them get shelved quietly, and nothing happens.
So I'd call it a step in the right direction (and I mean that), but it's a start only. There is nothing in it today that you can put a price on.
I know how this will go, though. Builders will find a way to monetize it, and you'll start hearing Stockholm in launch pitches and European in brochures, as if the sister city came with the flat.
Gurugram became Gurugram on foreign money, when Japanese companies poured into the automobile sector here, and I'm happy to see Haryana sitting across the table from a foreign government again, because it's been a long time since this city got a partnership or JV of that weight.
So if a builder calls you next week and says book now because Stockholm is coming, would you put your money on a letter of intent?
I have been paying income tax for more than 2 decades.
Income tax department has never verified if I actually exist.
May be, IT should also conduct a faulty SIR and drop me from the taxpayer list, just like EC did.
I wouldn't mind keeping that tax money to myself.

Mr Rubio has summoned his employee to Mumbai.
Modi ji, your officials in the External Affairs Ministry are confused about what's going on.
You might want to explain.
Unless, of course, you want me to.

A video shared by Tej Beniwal on his Instagram shows passengers taking a designated metro elevator ahead of him, prompting him to question public empathy and awareness. The viral clip has reignited essential conversations on making public transit inclusive and ensuring priority accessibility remains available to those who genuinely need it.
Some media organisations report that the Union Home Secretary has tendered an unconditional apology to the Honourable Supreme Court in response to a contempt notice. In this regard, this is to state:
Whenever a contempt notice is issued by the Honourable Supreme Court, it is required that the party responding to the notice must begin their affidavit with an unconditional apology. Only thereafter all other facts and arguments are presented. This is mandatorily followed in every contempt petition.
Following this practice, the first paragraph of the affidavits filed by the Home Secretary, Commissioner of Police, and other concerned officials complied with this requirement.
Thereafter, detailed particulars in the affidavit have been furnished, by which it has been clearly established that all actions taken by the Government and the Police are fully compliant with the law, and no case of contempt is made out against them.
Yesterday it took me 40 mins to cross Dhankot, a village bang on Dwarka expressway. This road has been a shitshow for two years at least now. Whole village remains under water for most of the year. It will take a few days to fix this if a CM decides to take his job seriously. Doesn’t even require travelling to Singapore or Sweden.
सुबह के 4 बजे। जब दुनिया सो रही थी, तब अंकिता भंडारी के माता-पिता को हिरासत में ले लिया गया।
उनका गुनाह? वे इंडिया गेट पर चुपचाप बैठे थे - बोझिल कंधों के साथ, बिना किसी हंगामे के और सिर्फ़ इतना माँग रहे थे कि CBI जाँच पूरी होने तक दुष्यंत गौतम को सिक्किम का राज्यपाल न बनाया जाए।
कल मैं और प्रियंका इन माता-पिता से मिले थे।
जिस जाँच का नतीजा आया नहीं, उसके पहले ही नियुक्ति की जल्दी और सवाल पूछने वाले माँ-बाप को रात के अंधेरे में उठा लिया गया।
इस सरकार की पहचान यही है: पीड़ितों की आवाज़ दबा दो, सवाल करने वालों को हटा दो।
पर न्याय की लड़ाई न दबेगी, न रुकेगी।
कांग्रेस अंकिता भंडारी के परिवार के साथ खड़ी है, और खड़ी रहेगी - जब तक उन्हें न्याय नहीं मिलता।
