1. Wht @RahulGandhi is @sardesairajdeep is the living breathing embodiment of the @INCIndia. A symbol of its History. Of its Nationalism. He is the extraordinary personification of the Party that wrung Independence for India from the British. And an absolutely unique one at that.
Why Rahul Gandhi resigning may not be a bad idea after all; both he and the Cong need to re-invent for the Party to revive .. my column for @htTweets is up on my site.. do read and share if you like.. https://t.co/C0JtPBR4aE
My heart breaks to see crass Modi demolish Udyog Bhavan to build his pet Gujarati architect's ugly Central Secretariat Bldg. Bhavan was pride of Independent India's Indo Saracenic art, Rajasthani Chhatris & Chhajas blended with Europe's Beaux-Arts and Neo-classical architecture
For all my BJP friends: unlike Narendrabhai, I am human. We do make the odd mistake and that’s what makes life interesting. Thanks for pointing it out and please do keep it coming, it really helps me improve. Love you all.
An overbridge built at a cost of 26Crores in Bihar developed structural damage within 4 days of inauguration!
Is it incompetence or corruption?
Is it a problem of Bihar, or of BJP govts?
Dear Prime Minister,
I am writing to request for a debate in Parliament on NEET tomorrow.
Our aim is to engage constructively in the interest of 24 lakh NEET aspirants who deserve answers.
I believe that it would be fitting if you were to lead this debate.
मैं अंडमान और निकोबार के विनाश के खिलाफ़ पूरी शक्ति के साथ खड़ा हूँ।

मेरे साथ जुड़िए - याचिका पर हस्ताक्षर कीजिए और इस अमूल्य संपत्ति को बचाने की लड़ाई का हिस्सा बनिए।

I saw a video of #AbhijeetDipke at Delhi Airport make a request: 5 students have committed suicide. The Education Minister must resign.
So how is that demand “ anti-national”?
Also this is the same BJP that forced the resignation of #ShashiTharoor as minister because of an IPL scam that never was.
We are living in La La Land.

Come on, @Ram_Guha, this is a bit much. What experience did Barack Obama, a first-term Senator from Illinois, have in world affairs when he became President of the most powerful country on earth, while it was caught up in multiple global issues? For that matter, how much international exposure did the CM of Gujarat have to manage India’s International relationships? @RahulGandhi has led a national party for a dozen years. He has extensive contacts with leaders around the world and no shortage of advisers inside and outside his party. No President or PM handles crises alone; that’s why he heads a government! I think it’s time to put this overblown controversy to rest.

It is India's treasure.
No matter how hard PM Modi tries to hand our national treasure to Adani, we will defend its forests, its people, and its future at all costs. ✊
Whenever I see any Interview clip of Smita Prakash, am always reminded of her interview with Kapil Sibal. Watch it if u like watching a Train Wreck in Slow Motion
I visited the southernmost tip of India.
I stood at Indira Point. I walked under trees that have stood for centuries. I dove into coral reefs among the most vibrant on earth.
And I sat with the people who live there. Tribal communities, whose land is being taken away by violating the Forest Rights Act. Settlers, many of them former soldiers, placed on these islands by the Indian government, who aren’t getting fair compensation.
The Modi government and BJP tells you Great Nicobar Project is about defence. It is not.
Expand INS Baaz - we will back the government fully. The Navy has been asking for expansion for five years - it has been ignored.
They tell you it is about a transhipment port. It is not. India is already building one in Kerala, which is on the mainland.
What it actually is: 1.5 crore trees felled. Coral reefs erased from official maps. Soldiers and tribals displaced - so one businessman can build hotels and casinos on India’s most irreplaceable ecological land.
Every young Indian I have spoken to understands this. You know that no amount of profit is worth destroying what can never be recovered.
I stand for ecologically balanced development. These islands can be the most extraordinary sustainable destination the world has ever seen. That is the India worth fighting for.
