🇮🇳 Happy Independence Day! 🇮🇳
Let us dedicate this year to freeing ourselves — and helping others free themselves — from the clutches of selective socio-political narratives and misinformation that threaten to erode the spirit of an independent India.

From Democracy to Dealocracy- the new face of politics in India. Chori karo to seena thok ke karo. Shame to call them leaders. Equally shameful are those who facilitate and celebrate defections for power. Elected representatives become tradable commodities. Shamelss !

Former PM Jawaharlal Nehru laid a solid foundation for modern India. He strered the country through unprecedented turmoil of partition. Rich tribute to the great son of India on his death anniversary today. #jawaharlalnehru

@IndiaToday It's really shocking. A farmer in Maharashtra set his entire onion stock on fire. #pmo #agriministry #nitiaayog

A commendable moment as TN CM Mr Vijay meets his predecessor Mr M. K. Stalin. More than a photo-op, it sends a strong message in times of rising political hostility. This is true Bharat and its culture - where differences coexist with dignity, not hostility.
#democracy #culture

Praiseworthy...TN CM J C. Vijay visited DMK president and his predecessor, M.K. Stalin at his residence in Chennai today, a day after he took oath. The central leaders/parties must learn from them - great sense of civility and courtesy.

@hvgoenka @Ranjan_Nayak True. Odia dishes are absolutely amazing - tasty, healthy, and nutritious. Try dalma, Ghanta, Besar (popularly served in Jagannath temple), and many more.

If the intent is genuine political reform, what prevents the implementation of 33% women’s reservation within the existing parliamentary strength? Why must this be contingent on expansion? Reform should strengthen institutions, not complicate them.

[Pravash Pradhan @pravashpradhan]

At a time when the quality of political discourse is visibly declining and even within the current strength of 543, many MPs struggle to find space to speak,the push to increase parliamentary seats by nearly 50% raises a fundamental question—what problem are we solving?

[Pravash Pradhan @pravashpradhan]

Warm greetings to all my Odia brothers and sisters on Utkal Diwas. May our pride, unity, and heritage always shine bright.

I appreciate Mr Baijayant Jay Panda's statement countering Mr Nishikant Dubey's remark on Odisha's worthy son, India's towering personality, and noted freedom fighter, Biju Patnaik.

[Pravash Pradhan @pravashpradhan]

Certain political leaders dig out history, mocks/criticises leaders, statesmen, and freedom fighters just to gain political mileage. It's utterly irresponsible. One MP's comments on Mr Biju Patnaik are unwarranted and totally avoidable.

[Pravash Pradhan @pravashpradhan]

Is any politician talking about the same?

[Pravash Pradhan @pravashpradhan]

Power comes and power goes. But the manhandling of the Shankaracharya, Swami Shri Avimukeshwaranand Saraswati Maharaj ji, during the Magh Mela,and the subsequent developments, including the issuance of notices to the saint, are unfortunate. It reflects arrogance of those in power

[Pravash Pradhan @pravashpradhan]

It's a great shame. The revered Sankaracharya was manhandled at Prayagraj on the auspicious day. The police can not provide security. What more can you expect?

[Pravash Pradhan @pravashpradhan]

@thekiranbedi Is this a plea to the Prime Minister or a criticism of your former party and the AAP leadership?

[Pravash Pradhan @pravashpradhan]

@smitaprakash Who is accountable?

[Pravash Pradhan @pravashpradhan]

The governance is lost in a labyrinth of publicity and hype. The bureaucracy is directionless. The political masters who masquerade as the source of all knowledge as disconnected from real issues. Everything they see is through a political prism.

[Pravash Pradhan @pravashpradhan]

Flight rates from Delhi-Bhubaneswar are exorbitantly high today.Beyond one's reach. Is there any reason? An urgent need to regulate the prices. #civilaviationmjnister #pmo #governmentofindia

[Pravash Pradhan @pravashpradhan]

Hospital body (AHPI) canceles cashless service. Patient care service in jeopardy. Need urgent intervention to regulate hospitals also.
