@KanchanGupta is absolutely right. Didn't Mamata Banerjee say that girls shouldn't go out alone after the RGkar case? Let TMC leaders sit at home and save themselves. Why expect another govt to do the job for you when you didn't do it yourself when in power.
Hindu Bengalis of Bengal are seething with rage now that the worm-eaten, rotten to the core onion called #ChorTMC led by the Pishi-Bhaipo duo is being peeled layer by layer, exposing the extortion and corruption racket that Mamata Banerjee and her nephew ran for 15 years.
Mr Nags is suffering from success 😎
Post match presentation party gatecrashed! Mr. Nags was our toughest challenge of the season, even on the night of the final. Find out what happened, when he spoke to some special guests. 😭😂
@ndtv DKS comes and goes in the VIP entrance of the chinnaswamy stadium. He wouldn't have dared to say this had he seen the gates and bad roads in the public entrance. We don't want to get injured or worse. He should direct @CricketKsca to improve the gates of the stadium instead.

Our CM ... D K Shivkumar..says ," i don't deny. I was involved with "rowdism" goondaism, gangs..
but was lucky no case was booked against me..
yes these people have helped me..."
@bijlanirajesh There's more than the text book way to play cricket. Sehwag used to play similar shots. I hope you aren't calling him a gilli danda player.
Pakistan is an ideological state. It was created on the principles of Islam, and it should not deviate from it. It should not give recognition to Israel since it's against Islamic principles

She wants Pakistan to remain Islamic, but India should be secular
I don't really like this. It happens every time in Karnataka. Why should a Swamiji be concerned with who should be in the cabinet? Freedom of speech, concern for their community is fine but it should only be after a govt is formed. Nobody should be influencing the govt formation.
#WATCH | Bidar, Karnataka: Ahead of an imminent change in leadership in the state, Pranavananda Swamiji says, "We want Eshwar Khandre to be made the Deputy CM. To give a representative to Kalyana-Karnataka, high command should make him the Deputy CM. If they don't make him the Deputy CM, we will plan and move to Delhi. It will certainly have an impact on the upcoming election. Not just Veerashaiva Lingayat but the entire Kalyana-Karnataka region will be angry. So, we would like to give this message to Congress high command that Eshwar Khandre should be made the Deputy CM."
Siddaramaiah, who stepped down as Karnataka Chief Minister to pave the way for DK Shivakumar’s elevation, has proposed the formation of a coordination committee to the Congress high command to act as a bridge between the party and the government.
Siddaramaiah, who had served as the coordination committee chairman during the Congress-JDS coalition government in 2018, sought a revival of the same model, which would allow him to continue as an alternative power centre in the state.

OH, GET OVER IT ALREADY!
BREATHKESS FOCUS ON THE "END OF AN ERA" IN KARNATAKA. It's as if an "irreplaceable statesman" is passing the baton on to an "irrepressible administrator"! Sure, it means a lot for Sidda and DKS and the Cong but little (squat) for the public.
HERE’S KARNATAKA UNDER 3 YEARS OF CONGRESS "DOUBLE ENGINE":
+ Rs 5,229 cr cut in infrastructure spending: CAG says welfare guarantees strained finances.
+ Fiscal deficit jumped from ₹46,623 crore to ₹65,522 crore in a year.
+ Borrowings surged to ₹63,000 crore; revenue deficit crossed ₹9,271 crore.
+ Over 3,140 infrastructure projects reportedly left incomplete.
+ More than Rs 30,000 crore in unpaid dues towards contractors remain pending across eight departments. CM Sidda acknowledged this.
+ Delay in local body polls could cost Karnataka nearly ₹6,000 crore annually in grants.
In short it's been an "era" defined by relentless scramble for power, perks and political positioning while administration and development drifted into a virtual paralysis. Hope it "ends".
Every single one of the points are a real problem.
But your understanding is broken, let me explain. :)
Norway has 55 lakh people. Total. That’s smaller than the population of Pune. Their entire country has fewer citizens than India’s 25 smallest cities individually. Norway also has 1.2 trillion dollars in sovereign wealth from oil reserves, accumulated over 50 years.
They have $250,000 per citizen sitting in the fund. India has roughly $3,400 per citizen in forex reserves.
Norway is what you get when a small population sits on top of one of the largest per-capita oil discoveries in human history.
The right comparison is other low-income, high-population, post-colonial democracies. Brazil. Indonesia. Nigeria. Bangladesh. Pakistan. Egypt. Mexico. South Africa. Vietnam. Philippines.
Compare on these and India isn’t doing badly. It’s doing better than most.
UPI is the world’s largest real-time payments system.
Aadhaar is the world’s largest biometric identity system.
We absorbed the global pandemic, the Ukraine war, the West Asia conflict, Trump’s tariffs, the Iran war, and a rupee fall without going into recession.
Most of those countries above did. Pakistan went to the IMF 24 times. Sri Lanka collapsed. Bangladesh is unstable. Egypt needed emergency Gulf bailouts. Argentina has 60% inflation. We stayed standing.
India is the only country in human history to add a trillion dollars of GDP every 18 months. We added our first trillion in 2007. Our second in 2017. Our third in 2024. Our fourth coming in 2026.
The problems you mentioned exist in every large, low-income, high-density country on earth.
Mexico City’s pollution is worse than Delhi’s.
Manila’s traffic is worse than Mumbai’s.
Lagos has worse road quality than Delhi.
Jakarta has worse air than Delhi.
Cairo has worse adulteration.
Karachi has more corruption.
Hanoi has higher pollution.
None of these countries are run by Modi. They’re all dealing with the same impossible math.
Industrialising a country of 145 crore people during a global energy transition, with limited natural resources, while keeping democracy intact, is the single hardest governance challenge in human history.
> China did it without democracy.
> South Korea did it with a population one-tenth our size.
> Japan did it with no major religious or linguistic diversity.
> Singapore did it with 50 lakh people total.
Nobody has done it at India’s scale, with our diversity, in democratic conditions.
So when someone asks “why hasn’t Modi built one city like Norway,” the answer is because building one Norway requires not having 144.5 crore other Indians to look after.
