A true privilege and delightful meeting @therakeshbedi last evening in Delhi during the play Biwi-o-biwi. What stands out about him is his genuine warmth which made the interaction truly memorable. His humility, simplicity and connect with people reflect the finest traditions of Indian theatre and cinema. It was truly a pleasure and an enjoyable evening with him.

Congress didn’t just “oppose” the Women’s Reservation Bill in 2026, it sabotaged it the moment implementation became real.
Let’s be clear: this is not new. This is a pattern.

📜 The track record:

* 1996: The Women’s Reservation Bill was introduced under PM Deve Gowda ji. The government depended on Congress support. Congress ensured it never became law.

* 1998, 1999, 2002, 2003: The NDA government under Atal Bihari Vajpayee brought the bill FOUR times. Each time, Congress support was critical to secure a 2/3rd majority. Each time, Congress blocked its passage.

* 2010: Despite this history, the BJP supported the UPA government to pass the bill in the Rajya Sabha. But when it came to the Lok Sabha, Congress got cold feet. The bill was never brought forward. Once again, it was sabotaged.

* 2023: The Modi government passed the Women’s Reservation Bill. With a clear majority, Congress had no option but to support it, a pro forma endorsement when obstruction was no longer possible.

So what changed in 2026?

Everything.

The 2023 law pushed implementation to after the 2026 Census and delimitation, effectively delaying it to 2034 or beyond. Congress was comfortable supporting a promise that lay far in the future.

But the 2026 proposal changed that. It mandated implementation in the 2029 elections.

That’s when the truth came out.
The moment women’s reservation became immediate and real, Congress and its allies moved to stall it yet again.

So let’s not be misled by statements or posturing.

India is open.
India is ready.

Through #SamudraManthan, we are turning uncertainty into opportunity and data into discovery to power India’s energy future and our quest towards energy aatmanirbharta under the leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji.

At today’s Data-Led Exploration Conference, we sent a clear message: data must be seen, shared, and scaled.

India is moving beyond blind exploration and is embracing a bold multi-client model where more eyes unlock greater value.

[Hardeep Singh Puri @HardeepSPuri]

From blind exploration to data-driven discovery, India is ready.

At today’s Data-Led Exploration Conference, we reaffirmed a simple truth: exploration succeeds when knowledge is shared, not siloed.

By welcoming a robust multi-client data ecosystem that allows more minds to interpret, innovate, and discover, India is decisively changing how E&P has been considered a sector of uncertainty.

The more eyes on the data, the greater the possibilities beneath our seas.
With #SamudraManthan, we are unlocking India’s vast offshore potential with openness, collaboration, and cutting-edge science under the decisive and visionary leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji.

[Neelkant Bakshi 🇮🇳 @neelkantbakshi]

Deeply shameful!

Congress, DMK, SP, AAP & TMC not standing with #NariShaktiVandanAct

Blocking 33% women's reservation for petty politics.

Where is your commitment to women empowerment now?

Nari Shakti deserves better than this hypocrisy.

[Neelkant Bakshi 🇮🇳 @neelkantbakshi]

Utterly shameful for Congress, DMK, SP, AAP & TMC!

They supported #NariShaktiVandanAct in 2023 but now refusing to vote for its timely implementation.

Putting narrow political interests & delimitation drama above empowering 50% of India's population.

History will remember who stood with Nari Shakti and who didn't.

[Neelkant Bakshi 🇮🇳 @neelkantbakshi]

Today, we take another decisive step towards Nari Shakti! Our government is committed to empowering women in every sphere. The amendments to the Women Reservation Bill will ensure greater representation for our sisters in Parliament & Assemblies. Let us all unite to make India's democracy more inclusive & vibrant : @narendramodi Ji

Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

A commendable step towards strengthening India’s energy ecosystem. Under the guidance of @PMOIndia and @HardeepSPuri, the reforms in PNG and CNG infrastructure reflect a forward-looking approach to ease of doing business and sustainable growth. The rapid expansion of the CGD network truly exemplifies how challenges can be transformed into opportunities. Kudos to @PetroleumMin, @gailindia and @PNGRB_ for driving this impactful progress.

🇷🇺🇮🇳 Took part in the 3rd #RussiaIndia Smart Cities Forum organised by the Government of Moscow City. Thrilled by the scope and enthusiasm about Russia-India cooperation in ‘smart cities’ technologies and innovations.

[Hardeep Singh Puri @HardeepSPuri]

Held a very positive informal interaction with members of the media fraternity to brief them about various aspects of the energy scenario in the light of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.

We discussed how the trilemma of energy availability, affordability and sustainability continues to guide India’s approach under the leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji which is focused on meeting the energy requirements of our citizens.

Informed the media persons that India has sufficient energy reserves to deal with the ongoing situation.
Was joined by senior officials of @PetroleumMin and captains of India’s PSU energy entities at the interaction.

[Rajeev Jain @rajeevicha]

A landmark moment for India’s technological journey under the visionary leadership of Narendra Modi Ji.

The HCL–Foxconn Semiconductor Unit in Uttar Pradesh is a decisive step towards Aatmanirbharta in critical technologies, leapfrogging and strengthening our position in the global chip ecosystem and reinforcing resilient value chains.

Kudos to Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw Ji and @MeitYIndia for driving India’s semiconductor mission with utmost clarity, sincerity and commitment.

India’s #Techade is firmly underway — from software excellence to hardware leadership, the future of semiconductors is being shaped in India. 🇮🇳

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

The establishment of the HCL-Foxconn semiconductor facility in Uttar Pradesh is a step towards technological self-reliance. It will boost India’s presence in the global chip ecosystem.
