The below chart shows Personal Income Tax, Corporate Tax and GST as a % of total Union government tax receipts.

In the last 12 years...
Personal Income Tax is up from 21% to 34%
[so much noise for 12 lac tax free income]

GST is up from 16% to 22% (since GST inception)
[so much noise for GST, this impacts the poorest lot in our country]

Corporate Tax is down from 35% to 25%

The fact is that the government's revenue mix has shifted away from companies and increasingly toward income earners and consumers.

Two hours ago, the Rupee was at ₹94.55 per $1.

Now? ₹94.85 in just 2 hours 😭

That’s how fast currency bleeds.

[Venkatesh Alla @venkat_fin9]

Dear @nsitharaman @FinMinIndia , We're not asking for tax-free income. We're asking for VALUE. 32 to 36% tax for Singapore-level infrastructure? Done. 36% for Nordic healthcare? Fine. 36% for Swiss public transport? Sure. But 36% for potholed roads, collapsing bridges, and 6-hour power cuts? That's not tax. That's theft.

Bro wanted to go Delhi to Dehradun.

Bro watched multiple videos claiming the new expressway takes just 2.5 hours.

Bro got excited, thought he would reach in half the usual time.

Bro ended up in a muddy, slushy field just after 40 to 50Kms.

Modi ji has a unique talent for inaugurating the same project multiple times in parts.

So the propaganda market goes into overdrive, and people are left thinking the entire stretch is magically operational.

@thesatbir Until you showed the road, I thought this is my neighborhood. Amazing that the footpaths quality is same across all parts of the country.

A 1 crore earning techie's life has no value in Bengaluru.

And if you're not earning that much? Your life has even less.

My sister and her friend were driving home in my car. They stopped at a red light - the logical thing anyone does. A drunk driver in a mini-truck didn't feel the need to stop. He slammed into them instead.

I know he was drunk. She knows it. The highway police knows it. The truck owner knows it.

No arrest was made.

The truck driver never showed up at the station. The owner never showed up. Nobody cared. My sister and her friend - both injured, both terrified - kept going back to the station, back to the accident site, explaining what happened over and over, just trying to get a report filed.

I was in the US. All I could do was talk to them on calls, helpless.

Here's what the police told them:
"If nobody died, an FIR doesn't make sense."
"Just claim first party insurance."
"Third party insurance doesn't pay much anyway."

And then, quietly, one officer pulled them aside and told the truth: "These truck mafia bribe us. Nothing will happen."

Nothing happened.

The truck was KA04 AE6550. The police themselves said if they'd been on a two-wheeler, both would be dead.

We had 100% insurance from Reliance. Claim rejected. Reason? "Misrepresentation of facts." These two, even while injured, kept showing up to represent the facts. Reliance still found a way to deny them.

The law says if someone hits you from behind, the person behind is at fault. It was a red light. How does a truck driver not see that?

Trust me, this isn't about money. I'll manage the repairs and the medical bills. I have savings. And I have a decent credit score; I'll take a personal loan if I have to. That's not the point.

The point is this: my sister is afraid now. Afraid that anything can happen to her at any moment and there's no one - no system, no law, no institution - that will protect her.

But how do I tell her the world is supposed to be fair? How do I tell her to trust the system? How do I explain that the drunk driver walks free, the truck owner was never questioned, and the police pocketed their bribe and closed the file?

I can't say to any official, "What if this was your daughter? Your sister?" Because their daughters travel in cars with security escorts. They will never know what it feels like to be ordinary and unprotected.

So I'm saying it to you, an ordinary reader.

You're on the road. You stop at a red light. A drunk driver in a truck rear-ends your car. Your loved one is inside, terrified.

And then you learn: there is no recourse. None.

The truck owner pays off the cops. The insurance company rejects your claim. The system shrugs.

This is Bengaluru in 2025. This is India in 2025. This is what your life is worth here.

One more thing. The friend in the car? He's one of the smartest people I know. close to top 100 rank in IIT-JEE. AI engineer and one of the biggest data companies. At 23, he is valuable to be paid more annually than the cost of five such trucks, that too, in India. He's patriotic. He pays his taxes. He stays in India even though he constantly gets offers to move to the US.

This is the confidence our system gives to someone who is clearly an asset to this country. All this unfairness - for a drunk truck driver.

@blrcitytraffic @BlrCityPolice - tell me. I've always avoided raising fingers publicly. But what else can I do?

[खुरपेंच @khurpenchh]

MLA से सवाल होते हैं, MP से सवाल होते हैं,

लेकिन लोकल लेवल रिप्रेजेंटेटिव्स जैसे मेयर, जिला पंचायत अध्यक्ष , ब्लॉक प्रमुख और प्रधान ,

आज तक देश में इनकी कभी जवाबदेही फिक्स नहीं की गई , अगली कैंपेन में सवाल के घेरों में होंगे सारे स्मार्ट सिटीज के मेयर्स।

कुर्सी की पेटी बांध लीजिए , बहुत खा ली इन्होंने ��लाई , अब समय है जवाबदेही का।

Your issues belong in Parliament.

This Winter Session, I raised citizens’ concerns in Parliament:
• dignity and fair pay for gig workers
• arbitrary copyright strikes harming digital creators
• toll plaza loot
• depleting groundwater levels
• rejection of genuine health-insurance claims
• lower capital gains tax and better incentives for domestic investors
• the Tokenisation Bill
• incomplete GST rationalisation, and more

Parliament runs on your money.
We are answerable to you.

[Roshan Rai @RoshanKrRaii]

BJP held a session on Vande Matram today in the parliament.

Do you know what Vande Matram’s words mean?

सुजलाम : Clean Water

Yamuna is still dirty, Ganga is still impure.

सुफलाम : Pure Fruits

Adulteration is everywhere.

मलयज शीतलम्: Clean Air

AQI of Delhi is literally 700+ , people are choking.

This is how BJP fools you and hides its failures in the name of Deshbhakti.

[Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj @DeepikaBhardwaj]

Court takes suo moto cognizance of extremely delayed date given in Atul Subhash suicide case.

It was a shocker when date was given for after a year and then corrected to 4 months. Next hearing on 5th December now.

Thanks all for amplifying & standing with @bikas_cute bhai 🙏

Reject these 5 lies right now if you love your country!

[Kiran Rajput @_KiranRajput]

Karnataka Cabinet approves ₹613 Cr to RENT 46 sweeping machines for Bengaluru for 7 years.

The cost of KV 1600, RSR 6000 & Nilfisk ROS1300 costs around $15,000 to $20,000
46 machines * 20KUSD * 89 is approximately 8 crore.

H’ble @DKShivakumar , @kiranshaw ma’am why lease these machines lets buy them.

Even if we increase the cost to 50K USD the total purchase cost is 20 crore only!

[Anuradha Tiwari @talk2anuradha]

Amazon just laid off 14000 people.

Not a single minister has offered any support.

> Govt collects taxes from IT professionals
> Use same taxes to fund freebies
> Use those freebies to win elections

But when these taxpayers are in trouble, government is nowhere to be found.

[Roshan Rai @RoshanKrRaii]

India is such an angry nation that it is taking out all its anger and frustration on a kid.

Use 1% of this anger on your govt and you might see pothole free roads, stronger bridges, breathable air and walkable footpaths.

[Saurabh Bharadwaj @Saurabh_MLAgk]

Pls find out if LG saab still has steno and printer in his office.

He has not written to Delhi CM since long.

[Anuradha Tiwari @talk2anuradha]

Supreme Court crushing it in last 2 days:

> Stray dogs in Delhi/NCR to be housed in shelters
> Hearing PIL on income-based SC/ST Reservations
> Ordered no action on 15-year-old petrol cars

Looks like Judges are reading the public mood on Twitter.

What’s next? Ethanol 20?

[kyayaarpriyaa🤦🏻‍♀️ @ps__2112]

India has poverty, no jobs, SSC exam scams, caste problems, bad roads, and skyrocketing inflation.
But our media? Busy talking about what Premanand Maharaj and Anirudh Acharya said.
Feels less like news and more like a daily soap for bored uncles and aunties.

[Arjun* @mxtaverse]

All petrol pumps should sell pure 100% unadulterated petrol at current rate. E20 petrol should be clearly labelled and sold at a lower rate. Let consumers make the choice. Anything else is a scam and even voter fraud won't save you guys if citizens start getting angry.

One thing Gen Z will do good is end the toxic work culture where Burnout is equal to success.
