Only India 1 & India 2 (440M) could effectively push the govt for improvements in Ease of Living - Cleanliness, Hygiene, Safety, Urban Planning, Transport System, AQI & Water Quality etc., They need to wield their power 💪

A condensed view of my idol, LKY on 🇮🇳 Most lessons are still valid!

Time to break free from the leash of socialism & noisy democracy 👊

Efficient Asian-Style democracy 🇸🇬🇯🇵🇰🇷 for 🇮🇳:
Meritocracy, Pragmatism, Technocracy (MPT) 🙏

I have no issues if you support or oppose Chief Minister Vijay. As I always say, hatred for Modi should not become hatred for India. Equally, hatred for Vijay should not become hatred for Tamil Nadu.

​I was surprised when I saw repeated narratives that Tamil Nadu is losing to Andhra Pradesh. This kind of narrative is not good for our state in attracting new investments. Hence, as always, I gave factual clarity.

​Prime Ministers and Chief Ministers come and go- India and Tamil Nadu go on forever.

TN desperately needs a party which is:
1⃣Urban-focused
2⃣Technocratic
3⃣Pragmatic
4⃣Meritocratic
5⃣Pro-Development
6⃣Honest & Transparent

Above all:
Strongly Tamil ❤️ + Proudly Indian 🇮🇳

If @annamalai_k & @WTLFoundation can build this, TN is ready, else good luck 🙃

[Sabapathy Manickam @sabapathy13]

FPTP isn’t bad when executed properly, 🇸🇬 is a 🔥 example. Their GRC system + tough, meritocratic internal party politics is worth studying. That discipline & transparency are needed in Indian parties💯

Best options for 🇮🇳:
🇸🇬 (FPTP + caveats) or 🇩🇪🇯🇵🇳🇿(MMP or MMP Lite) (4)

[Sabapathy Manickam @sabapathy13]

Timely topic @ECISVEEP 📢

Pure Proportional Representation (PR) would be chaos for India 🇮🇳 Even in Europe, it often leads to months-long (sometimes year-long) government formation gridlocks. We cannot afford such instability (1)

[Sabapathy Manickam @sabapathy13]

If 🇮🇳 ever moves towards PR, it should be MMP or MMP Lite ⚖️ 50% FPTP + 50% PR is too heavy for a country of our size. History proves that too. A sweet spot below 25% PR makes more sense - enough to bring fresh ideas and keep parties on their toes, without losing stability (3)

[Sabapathy Manickam @sabapathy13]

@ECISVEEP Germany’s system is called PR, but it’s actually Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP) - a hybrid of FPTP + PR. Unlike pure proportional systems in the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark or Italy, Germany balances it almost 50% FPTP + 50% Party List PR with well-designed guardrails (2)

[Sabapathy Manickam @sabapathy13]

India desperately needs a 1991-style Liberalisation for urban governance 🙏

Even our richest cities can’t rival global cities in infrastructure or livability. Some poorer countries are doing far better ‼️

Wish PV Narasimha Rao & Atal Bihari Vajpayee had got two continuous terms (1991–2011)😇

India’s economic trajectory, reforms & growth would have been far more powerful & developed 🔥 What a different, stronger nation we could have been now 🇮🇳

Kolkata, don’t give up - you’re the last one standing in India 🚋

Tram is the GOAT of urban transport 🔥 Modernise, Reform & Revamp ⚙️ Make it an inspiration for 🇮🇳

With a fresh mandate, this is your chance to revive #KolkataTram & leave a historic mark @SuvenduWB 🙏

[Trains of India 🇮🇳 @trainwalebhaiya]

Systematic Death of Kolkata Trams 💔

What used to be a 61km long network connecting heart of Kolkata has now been reduced to a mere 12km network.

I hope the new government take it as a task to upgrade and revive the Kolkata tram network.

Let Pragmatism and Realism prevail over politics or ideologies for the development of TN 🙏

[Chennai Updates @UpdatesChennai]

PARANDUR AIRPORT ✈️
Why is it needed for Chennai?? A long read! Share Max.

Firstly people who’s lands are being acquired for #Parandur Airport are being given :
🔹 3-4 times the market value of the land
🔹Alternate housing is being given to them just next to the project site . Tenders are already out for it
🔹Govt jobs are being promised to the people

➡️Now political parties should push the govt to make sure these benefits reach the people which they truly deserve rather than telling to completely drop the project!
➡️Chennai badly needs a new airport! The existing one at Meenambakkam has planned max capacity of 35 MPA and it’s the smallest in terms of area among all airports. Nearby Bengaluru (70MPA) or Hyderabad (70MPA) have bigger capacities. Mumbai & Delhi are building 2nd airports too. Bengaluru is going for 3rd airport
➡️One can’t acquire land at the existing airport. Getting land from OTA is close to impossible and cost of acquiring land at nearby Gerugambakkam is costlier than that at Parandur.
➡️ Existing one has a river too flowing through it and its layout has always been an issue given its narrow access via GST Rd. Cargo terminal is small as well and we have been losing to Bengaluru/Hyderabad in terms of Logistics ecosystem
➡️Airport is just not about the rich people flying. Reports suggest that more Indians will fly in the next 10 yrs. Indian Airlines have 1,000+ planes or order and we need airports to cater to them! Parandur with a full fledged airport will supports Logistics+ Warehousing ecosystem, Hotels, MRO etc providing jobs for Lakhs!
➡️4-5 sites were studied for a 2nd airport for Chennai & Parandur was found the best considering various factors! It’s literally impossible for find 4,000+ acres around Chennai without a water body or agri land!
➡️ Lastly the water bodies there at Parandur are man made lakes! The govt has setup a commission & studied its impact! New artificial lakes will be built with diversion water channel to prevent flooding! Any infra project will have its consequences! Mettur Dam was built submerging several villages. Today it’s the lifeline to several TN’s District!!

Plz support the project! It’s need of the hour! TN and Chennai deserves a world class airport. Plz keep politics away 🙏🙏
