@rohini_sgh Lol, people were going gaga when Kejriwal took a metro for his first oath taking as Delhi CM disrupting travel for hundreds of daily commuters but this is Nautanki.
Just couple of hours ago, @latha_venkatesh (over)smartly retweeted a 2012 tweet of then Gujarat CM @narendramodi ji. It appeared on my timeline.
But it seems she removed her retweet after the @CNBCTV18News#FakeNews controversy.
Fortunately, I happened to take a screenshot, to respond a little later.
Latha Venkatesh tried to peddle the narrative that the 2012 fuel hike by the Manmohan Singh led government is comparable to today's price hike.
It is not!!
In 2026, fuel prices have risen because a war between Israel and Iran has shaken global oil markets, pushing crude prices up worldwide.
India, which imports most of its oil, is simply absorbing that external shock.
In 2012, under Manmohan Singh, petrol prices were hiked by ₹7.5+ in one go. Not because of a sudden war, but due to internal fiscal stress and wrong policy decisions.
Big difference.
One is a war-driven global crisis. The other was a domestic policy shock. Don’t confuse compulsion with choice.
When you're making a comparison next time, don't be selective with facts, Latha!!
Chomu @SupriyaShrinate is Congress IT Cell Head?
Supriya ignored all the price hikes and only showed some relief given by Govt. Check Reality:
*Petrol Price in Nepal*
Feb 1- 156 NPR
May 15- 217 NPR
Nepal Petrol prices has increased ₹61, means 39% up
Supriya Highlighted a small reduction in between, ignored massive Hikes.
*Petrol Price in Australia*
Feb 2026- $1.68
Went up to: $2.4
May 15- $1.82
Even after massive relief by Australian Govt for 3 months, petrol prices are up 8%.
*Petrol Price in Germany*
Feb 1- €1.80/L
May 15- ~€1.97–2.06/L
Germany petrol prices increased by around 10–15%.
*Petrol Price in Britain (UK)*
Feb 1- ~131.6 pence/L
May 15- ~157 pence/L
Britain petrol prices increased by roughly 25 pence/L, around 19% up.
When you have such idiots running party's narrative, now wonder Congress loses every election.
Polarising, consolidating and banking on Muslim votes is victory of democracy, secularism in action, pluralism; consolidating Hindu vote in reaction is fascism, death of democracy, blow to secularism.
Does India have Free Press?
- No
Why?
EC has ordered Re-polling in Falta Constituency because of BJP symbol was blocked, scent was put on Lotus symbol, CCTV cut off, unauthorized people entering and voting, etc.
Who did it?
-TMC, Jehangir Khan, Abhishek Banerjee
But whom is our Journalist blaming?
- SP from UP
Idiot journalists don't even know that Police has no control inside polling station.
They can't even blame TMC for doing Booth Capturing and Killing Democracy.
Remembered this old video
Liberals laughing and joking about poll violence in Bengal
No ... bombs and deaths are not funny
Not at all funny.
For too long, the pain of Bengal has been ignored by intellectuals.
Narendra, aapne announce kiya tha, Bangal ki sabhi 294 seats par aap hi candidate hain

4 May ko jab Mamata Banerjee aur TMC Bangal jeetenge, PRADHAN MANTRI PAD SE RESIGNATION DIJIYE
Hain dum?

Strategic planning may go to hell.
India should simply cover whole Andaman & Nicobar with trees and enjoy 15° summers whole year
