@smitaprakash flawed conclusion @smitaprakash.
The middle class voting en masse doesnt reflect the govt working for them.
280 was against the corrupt congress, 303 rode a nationalistic fervour and 240 was a reminder. Heavy taxation, freebies galore, jaded speeches no longer inspire confidence.

The US went into Vietnam to end communism, and by the end of it, communism only grew stronger.
The US went into Afghanistan to end Soviet rule, funded Osama bin Laden, who ended up creating al Qaeda that eventually attacked the Twin Towers.
The US invaded Iraq, captured Saddam, executed him, but instead of bringing peace, it only created extremist groups like ISIS, an offshoot of al Qaeda, which became the most lethal terrorist group in the world.
The US and NATO invaded Libya, killed Gaddafi, but instead of bringing peace, they caused a refugee and humanitarian crisis.
The US invaded Afghanistan after 9/11 to kill Osama bin and dismantle the Taliban. Twenty years and trillions of dollars later, it brought back the Taliban.
The US invaded Iran on February 28 to remove the religious leadership and bring about regime change. It ended up making the leadership even stronger.
Every war that the US starts only ends up creating more chaos and instability. And I thought policemen were supposed to bring order.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

A Government for the middle class…

It is the NDA Government’s privilege to be working towards fulfilling the aspirations of our middle class. They have contributed to nation-building in countless ways.

Over the last decade, governance has increasingly focused on improving the quality of life of ordinary citizens. Our efforts are about easier access to opportunities, better infrastructure, improved public services, affordable healthcare, quality education, cleaner cities and reduced burdens in everyday life.

MPs won in 2024 on TMC ticket. Mandate was NOT for NDA. All the greedy self-serving traitors with yellow-stained pants can please join BJP now- resign your seats & contest on BJP ticket. Let’s see what big heroes you are.

@art_lover_09 @art_lover_09 - Disagree - Both govt hospitals and govt schools quality has left a lot to be desired for. Cleanliness, crowd, quality of materials all raise question marks.
People are left with no option but to go private.Options merely existing isnt the govts only job.

[The Centrist @shreyjayy]

@Sasha34813804 @GabbbarSingh Yeah. I should have been more specific. The education issue is more easier to solve.

The countries you mentioned have other issues.

If only education was a factor, korea and Japan wouldnt be struggling with it so drastically.

If #Surya can lose his spot in the team because of bad batting, not too sure why @GautamGambhir can't lose his spot as test team coach for bad coaching. Did't ndia lose five home tests and got whitewashed in two Test series to NZ and SA and lose BGT

'PM को करेंगी रिपोर्ट' ऐसे लिखा जा रहा है जैसे @narendramodi को शिक्षा मंत्रालय से कोई अंतर पड़ता है! IIT प्रोफेसर से सर्वर ठीक करवाएँगे, एयर फोर्स से प्रश्नपत्र पहुँचाएँगे, पूर्व ISRO चीफ से मिलेंगे, CBSE चेयरमैन का ट्रांसफर हो गया आदि जब नहीं चला, तो अब नया चूरन है PM मोदी को करेंगी रिपोर्ट।

रहन दे भाई! देख लिए कितना रिपोर्ट तुमलोग मँगवा रहे हो। केवल छवि प्रबंधन चल रहा है। ऐसे कमिटी बनायी जा रही है, जैसे इन्हें साक्ष्य ही ना मिले हों कि 'ब्लैकलिस्टिंग' को नियम से हटाया गया; 6 लाख कर्मचारी वाले TCS की जगह 'स्कैन करने के पूर्व अनुभव' के कारण 200 कर्मचारी वाले Coempt को दिया गया; साईट तुम्हारी चल नहीं रही, हर दिन हैक कर लेता है 19 साल का बच्चा, लॉगिन फेल हो रहा है; कॉलेज की कंसलिंग आरम्भ है, बच्चों के मार्क्स नहीं फाइनल हुए...

और तुम्हें लगता है ये संसदीय कमिटी की बैठक में सार्थक को बुला कर, ये राधा चौहान को हेड बना कर, दो ट्रांसफर करवा कर तुम ये जनता को मूर्ख बना दोगे?

Bro, let’s stop pretending.

Muslims make up about 25% of the entire world’s population — over 2 billion people across 50+ countries.

Japanese people? About 1.4% of the world. One single country.

Shinto exists only in Japan.

So when people say “Japan should prioritize minorities and be more accommodating to Islam,” who exactly are we talking about?

The global majority is coming to one of the world’s smallest ethnic and religious groups and demanding that Japan change its culture, food, and traditions for them.

That’s not “protecting minorities.” That’s the majority trying to colonize a tiny minority.

Japan has every right to protect its own people and culture first.

If Muslims want to live under Islamic rules, they already have dozens of countries where they can do that. They don’t need to come to Japan and turn it into another one.

@GabbbarSingh The right thing to do is sack him cause its been 3 consecutive mandates given to them by the people of this country. Opposition be damned.

Competent people get fired. Incompetent assholes get transferred... Amazing.. Rahul Gandhi couldnt do what Modi is doing to himself... Irreparable damage.. Good... He needs to be brought down to Earth...

BIG ACTION BY MODI GOVERNMENT
CBSE Chairman and Secretary transferred over the CBSE evaluation failure.
Inquiry committee constituted to probe the procurement of On-Screen Marking (OSM) services by CBSE.

Scams are always known. But to see the scamsters lacking any sophistication is disappointing.

36k a year and not even effort to clean shave? Come on!!!!

These are the prime beneficiaries of the Laxmi Bhandar Scheme under Mamata Banerjee.

The scheme was meant for poor women but it was going to TMC's special vote bank.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

The govt should consider creating a national pool of young ethical hackers, cybersecurity researchers, and talented students to regularly test the security of its websites and digital infrastructure.

Every year, crores are spent on private contractors to build and maintain govt portals. Yet many remain slow, poorly designed, vulnerable to security flaws, plagued by glitches, and raise concerns about data privacy.

As the recent CBSE controversy showed, even a small technical vulnerability can trigger confusion, mistrust, and nationwide outrage. So why not tap into the talent that already exists in the country?

A structured bug bounty and security-audit program, with attractive rewards, would encourage some of India's brightest minds to identify vulnerabilities before malicious actors do. The cost would be a fraction of current spending and should be made part of contractors' obligations.

While some govt platforms already have bug bounty programs, the current approach is either not comprehensive enough or not effective enough. A stronger, centralized, and better-funded system may be needed. No system is perfectly secure, but having thousands of skilled people actively looking for weaknesses is more effective than relying solely on a handful of vendors.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Dharmendra Pradhan should go.

Javadekar, and Nishank were removed from the Education Ministry for far less than what has unfolded under Pradhan's tenure.

The govt should not worry about whether Congress will portray his removal as a political victory. Let them. They are irrelevant. The govt is answerable to students and parents, and they are increasingly disillusioned by repeated paper leak controversies, CBSE evaluation discrepancies, contentious UGC regulations, and a series of avoidable crises. In recent years, there has rarely been this level of public anger directed at the Education Ministry.

Pradhan's removal should be followed by an independent probe to determine whether tender rules were altered or interpreted in a manner that favoured Coempt Edutech, and whether any conflict of interest exists between the company and anyone associated with the Education Ministry. Public confidence in the education system must be restored.

#WATCH | Ranchi, Jharkhand | A class 12th student, Sarthak Sidhant, says, “…I have written a blog that compares the tender documents of CBSE. I have uploaded and published it… There were at least 15 discrepancies, as per my blog. I would like to highlight three or four of them. Let me give a background about Coempt. It was known as Globarena, and they have a very shady background. 23 students killed themselves because of coempt… Now, I would like to tell you about RFP (Request for Proposal). What happens is the government issues a tender and asks the bidder to bid for it. CBSE issued this tender three times… I have compared the old RFP and the new RFP, and I found some discrepancies… The first discrepancy is that there were three clauses of poor performances which was completely wiped out from the new RFP. In the earlier RFP, there was a clause called blacklisted earlier, whereas in the new RFP, it was changed to blacklisted currently. Why would the board want a service provider which was blacklisted earlier? The third thing I found out is the 50 crore limit, which you needed to qualify, and coempt qualified that by 1.7% … The time frame of corrupt practices was halved, and there were project criteria changes… It shows a pattern that the industry giant TCS was not preferred, but coempt was preferred, which works as a very fragmented group of institutions…”
