GURCHARAN DAS:
The great tragedy of the reservation system:
• It was meant to uplift the most marginalized.
• Instead, the largest share of the quota is captured by the 'creamy layer' of backward castes.
• The poorest of the poor remain exactly where they were.
In Delhi, Afghanistan’s Agriculture Minister Mawlawi Ataullah Omari says Afghan, Indian "DNA is one".
Thanking India for warm welcome, points, "feels like own people, not an Ajnabi place"
#WATCH | Delhi | Afghanistan's Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock, Mawlawi Attaullah Omari, says, "This is my first trip to India...From the very first day I landed in India, I received a warm welcome from the Indian government, the Minister of External Affairs, and everyone I met. It feels as if I am among my own people...It feels like our own country, and as you mentioned, our DNA is one..."
Nitin Gadkari's son is constantly being targeted for owning a factory manufacturing ethanol. Yes, he does, with capacity 135KLPD. But why does Sharad Pawar's grand-nephew Rohit Pawar, who owns a 600KLPD factory supplying ethanol for E20 fuel blending, never get mentioned?
Jab Jab Gadkari ji Darte Hain
Police ko Aage Karte hain!
Gadkari Ji, you gave us a challenge we accepted it. Yet we were stopped by Delhi Police at Tughlak Road Police Station before reaching your residence.
Are you afraid of a letter from citizens? Is this democracy? Is this how you stand by your words?
@tehseenp@FactswithDinesh@nitin_gadkari
Shri Nitin Gadkari ji had publicly challenged to show him one person whose vehicle faced issues due to E20 blended petrol.
We are ready but now @DelhiPolice is preventing!
Nitin Gadkari ji's son's Ethanol busines is worth ₹50-100 per year & growning! It is Conflict of Interest!
माननीय केंद्रीय मंत्री @nitin_gadkari जी ने चुनौती दी थी कि E20 (20% इथेनॉल मिश्रित) पेट्रोल से प्रभावित एक भी व्यक्ति को सामने लाकर दिखाएं।
'टीम भारत' ने आपकी इस चुनौती को सहर्ष स्वीकार किया है और हम प्रभावित लोगों को आपके सामने लाने के लिए पूरी तरह तैयार हैं। लेकिन हमारे सामने कुछ बाधाएं हैं:
1️⃣ हमें आपकी तरफ से मिलने का समय (Appointment) नहीं दिया जा रहा है।
2️⃣ दिल्ली पुलिस ने हमें आपके आवास के बाहर आने से मना किया है।
गडकरी जी, ऐसी स्थिति में हम इस चुनौती को कैसे पूरा करें? क्या आप हमें मिलने का समय देंगे?
हमारी सिर्फ एक ही शर्त है : ई20 पेट्रोल के पीड़ितों के साथ आपकी यह पूरी बातचीत कैमरे के सामने होगी और इसका सोशल मीडिया पर सीधा प्रसारण (Live Stream) किया जाएगा। कृपया हमें जवाब दें।

Nitin Gadkari ji sir: you gave the challenge, why aren't u accepting it? Lets do this live before the citizens of India!

⚠️ Serious Passenger Safety Concern with Rapido
Today I booked an auto through Rapido. The app showed the driver's name as Lakshmikanth and the vehicle number as KA03 AL 0071.
However, the auto that arrived was KA02 AJ 4492, and the driver identified himself as Mohammed Habbas.
This is a serious safety concern. Passengers trust the driver's identity and vehicle details displayed in the app. If a completely different driver and vehicle arrive, it defeats the purpose of identity verification and puts passenger safety at risk.
I request Rapido, the Karnataka Transport Department, and the Bengaluru City Police to investigate this matter and take appropriate action. Ride-hailing platforms must ensure that the driver and vehicle arriving for a trip exactly match the details shown in the app.
Passenger safety cannot be compromised.

The Builders of Pune's Jangli Maharaj Road made their Biggest Mistake - They built a road that lasted 50 years without a single crack.
They Were Never Hired Again.
This is exactly why honest contractors don't exist anymore. Such integrity is persecuted instead of rewarded...
While the whole country is debating petrol-ethanol, the bros from Madhya Pradesh have already pulled off what is arguably India's first major ethanol scam, not counting you know who.
There is a govt policy that surplus rice in govt warehouses can be sold to ethanol manufacturers at subsidised rates to prevent it from rotting.
According to a Dainik Bhaskar report, the scam began when some officials allegedly (willingly?) ignored the rules and allocated "newly procured" fortified rice (not even regular rice, but fortified rice) for ethanol production. The rice, bought at a high price (₹4,000 per quintal), was sold at a throwaway price (₹2,320 per quintal) to ethanol plants.
The ethanol plant operators allegedly knew it was fortified rice, so instead of using it to make ethanol, they sold it to rice millers at ₹2,800 per quintal, and instead bought cheap broken rice (₹2,100 per quintal) from the open market for ethanol production, making an overall profit of ₹700 per quintal.
The rice millers allegedly repacked the fortified rice in new gunny bags and supplied it back to the govt as freshly milled rice. The govt paid them milling charges, while the govt supplied paddy they were actually supposed to mill was allegedly sold in the open market for another round of profit.
So the same bag of rice allegedly kept changing hands: govt warehouse to ethanol plant to rice mill to back to govt warehouse. Everyone in the chain allegedly made money.
The MP govt formed an SIT. So far, four people have been arrested and 12 trucks seized. Investigators suspect that up to 50 lakh quintals of govt rice, worth around ₹1,160 crore, may have been diverted through this alleged racket.
Here’s the traditional method of making kukum. The primary ingredient is turmeric, along with vengaram, kasi katti, spatigam, and lemon juice. It is prepared in either an earthen plate or a copper plate and then sun-dried for 3–4 days.
Thanks to Karge, I wouldn't have uploaded this video (from 22) at all. Please feel free to make your own kukum at home. We are greatful to Maha Periyava, who gave us this sacred recipe.
Ian Bremmer, President Eurasia Group: Modi has enemies inside India, mostly at home....
Modi is providing stability to India, give or take for the next fifteen years.....
Ian Bremmer had started a political risk research firm in 1998 to help people understand how world events impact money and business.
The World knows the truth. The 0.5 cannot hide anymore..
This clip should be made viral. Rahul @RShivshankar@Shehzad_Ind destroyed the propaganda with hard facts. Tehseen didn’t know when E15 started. He didn’t even know E19 existed. Anand’s points were beautifully rebutted by Shehzad
