This “we are Gen Z” has become the new “jaantay nahin ho mera baap kaun hai”. The quickest way to erode any Gen Z goodwill is to start using it as a threat at the slightest perceived affront.
Not cool.
You can dislike a Prime Minister, disagree with a government, protest, debate and vote differently. That’s democracy.
But reducing the office of India’s Prime Minister, the man, the office, and what he represents abroad, to a joke on foreign soil -doesn’t feel like the right thing or dissent - to me.
It diminishes him, the institution, and ultimately, us.
Can’t imagine someone is defending a man caught urinating in a Delhi Metro lift that too in front of two girls by calling it hate and bigotry. Try defending this act by a senior citizen in London, Singapore, Dubai or any civilised city in the world & you’d get your answer! This act doesn’t need sensitivity and empathy it exposes lack of civic sense & disregard of public utility.
Why ‘Rail Neer ‘water bottle has been replaced at all railway stations with ‘Sweet ‘ packed drinking water in western railways from Gandhidham to Vapi, seems this is local brand earlier we used to take Rail neer over MNc branded packed drinking water @RailMinIndia
देश में एनर्जी क्राइसिस आ गया है
मोदी जी ने लोगो से अपील भी की है कि-
~कम पेट्रोल डीजल खरीदो
~सोना मत खरीदो
~खाने के तेल में पॉम ऑयल कम करो
लेकिन मोदी जी ये नहीं कहा कि -
~सांसदों की सैलरी 1 साल तक 20% कम मिलेगी
~सांसद, विधायकों की गाड़ियों का ईंधन एक साल तक नहीं मिलेगा
~सांसदों को विदेश यात्रा फ्री नहीं मिलेगी
~सांसदों को मोबाइल भत्ता नहीं मिलेगा
~ सांसदों को 50000 यूनिट बिजली फ्री नहीं मिलेगी
~सांसदों को टोल टैक्स देना पड़ेगा
~सांसदों को फ्री आवास नहीं मिलेगा, किराया देना पड़ेगा।
ऐसा क्यों?
सारी कुर्बानी जनता ही दे।
विपक्ष नकारा हो तो सत्ता पक्ष आजाद रहता है -
1- गैस के दाम 993 रुपए बढ़े
2-छोटू सिलेंडर 261 रुपए बढ़ा
3- पेट्रोल डीजल के दाम बढ़े
4- सीएनजी के दाम बढ़े
5- सोना चांदी बढ़ा
6- डॉलर के मुकाबले रुपया गिरा
लेकिन फिर भी विपक्ष दबाव नहीं डाल पाया, इससे घटिया विपक्ष आज तक नहीं देखा।
Statement by the Honorable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Thiru. C. Joseph Vijay, urging the Union Government to cancel the NEET based admissions in medical courses and to permit the respective States to fill up seats based on Class 12 marks.

Zero violence for the first time in the history of elections, particularly in West Bengal. Not even a single death in political violence. No booth capturing. No rigging. Record breaking turnout. No controversy around 'missing EVMs', papertrail or VVPAT. Seamless transparent process and real time live data reporting in all five states.
In short, of that's the job, then yes, Election Commission has won hands down.
@ravish_journo आपको एक अच्छे जर्नलिस्ट के तोर पर पहली NDTV पर देखा था बहुत ही प्रभावित करनेवाली शख्सीयत थे आप लेकिन अब आप सिर्फ कटाक्ष करने वाले पत्रकार बन गए हैं ना कि आप इंडिपेंडेंट पत्रकार की तरह तथ्य के साथ कभी बात नहीं रखते, निराशा हुयी धन्यावाद
If you drive without a helmet, camera will detect.
If you drive without a seat belt, camera will detect.
If you overspeed, camera will detect.
If you use your phone while driving, camera will detect.
They detect every mistake people make, and you get a challan. So why can’t the same traffic cameras detect the potholes on the road?
India needs to move towards One Nation, One Medical Treatment, where access to best medical care is available to all, regardless of income or influence.
That is exactly why I questioned the low health allocation in this Budget and demanded a relook in Parliament. In this Budget, health gets around 2% of total government expenditure, roughly ₹1 lakh crore. But the real gap is bigger.
Under the National Health Policy 2017, India committed to spending 2.5% of GDP on public health. In 2026, we are still at around 0.5% of GDP.We are nowhere near our own target.
Other countries understand the value of health spending. Kyonki jaan hai toh jahaan hai. The US spends around 18% of GDP on healthcare, the UK around 12%, Germany around 13%, and countries like Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark, Japan and Spain spend around 10%.
The consequences are visible. Government hospitals are understaffed and under-equipped. Overworked doctors, too few beds, shortages of machines and medicines, and waiting dates that delay treatment.
When families cannot wait, they are pushed to excruciatingly expensive private hospitals. One health emergency then becomes a debt emergency.
The middle class is being sandwiched between the rich class and the poor class.
The middle class is caught between rising costs and rising taxes.
For the middle class, this Budget had one message. Carry on as you were.
In Parliament, I pointed out that there was no revision in income tax slabs and no increase in standard deduction, despite stagnant salaries and inflation at 6.8%. I urged the Finance Minister to correct this in this Budget itself by raising the standard deduction from ₹75,000 to ₹1.5 lakh for the salaried class.
Meanwhile, household costs keep climbing. Education 8% 🔺, healthcare 9% 🔺, rent 7% 🔺, food 6% 🔺, transport 5% 🔺.
For the first time in years, personal income tax collections are higher than corporate tax. Individuals paid around ₹11 lakh crore, corporates about ₹9.8 lakh crore.
Either give tax relief, or give investment savings & incentives so the middle class can save more and build wealth.
