BJP is like:
"We won. We will form govt"
"We lost. We will form the govt"
"We are the party with least number. We will form the govt"
"We didn't contest elections. We will form the govt"
"We have truckloads of money. Tell us where you want us to form govt"

"Without that passion and urge, there is a gradual oozing out of hope and vitality, a settling down on lower levels of existence, a slow merging into non-existence. We become prisoners of the past and some part of its immobility sticks to us."

Our next 'biological' PM candidate used to have some biological ideas. National urine banks and urine pipelines! A first in the world!

More than 22,500 Cr was spent on "Namami Gange" program launched in 2014. Nobody talks about it anymore.
BJP MP @dreamgirlhema Ji decided to do a dance program to save Ganga as a last attempt. Dancing is good, but what she really needs to ask her boss is "Who pocketed the 22,500 Cr?"
@INCKerala To those who say Shah is Persian and not Mughal: Two Persian kings with the surname Shah were Reza Shah Pahlavi and his son Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, who ruled Iran from 1925 to 1979. Guess their religion!
While working at ICICI securities from 2011 to 2013 Ms. Madhabi Buch was working full time at Greater Pacific Capital, a private equity fund run by Shaurya Doval, who also happens to be the son of our NSA Mr. Ajit Doval.
If Modi sacks her, she will spill more beans which will be detrimental for his coalition Govt. So nothing will be investigated and therefore everything will be made look clean.
I just compared the average price-to-earnings ratio of the top 50 Indian companies to that of US companies. These are my observations:
a. Our average P/E is 56.2, whereas the US has 38.9.
b. US has just three companies above 100 P/E whereas we have seven companies above 100.
c. Our highest PE is 377.1 for Zomato, which sells food door-to-door in a few Indian cities, whereas AMD has a PE of 159.6 and sells Processors for Laptops and Servers worldwide.
d. US stocks are full of product companies selling worldwide, while we don't have a single company with a similar global reach.
e. US tech companies boast rich patent portfolios and create futuristic products for the world, including India. In contrast, we donโt have a single tech company innovating on par with US firms. All Infy, TCS, and Wipros offer cheap services to US firms.
So my question is what justifies this kind of PE? What do Indian companies have in store for the future that most of us don't know?
Over 20 people have reportedly died in landslides and continuing rain fury in many areas in Wayanad, Kerala. Rescue operations are progressing in extremely difficult conditions. Two villages have been isolated due to a bridge collapse.
Our heart goes out to all the families who lost their dear and near ones. In this time of human tragedy, let's resolve to stand together and fight for our survival.
We urge the Kerala government, CM @pinarayivijayan and @CollectorWyd to make available all possible rescue arrangements, working with the central government and agencies.
We request the media and citizens who use social media to exercise restraint in handling the news about the tragedy and take care not to sensationalize it or spread any misinformation.
LoP @RahulGandhi has urged all UDF leaders and workers to actively assist the rescue operations. Congress and UDF MPs, MLAs, local body representatives, other leaders and workers will do whatever they can to help co-ordinate and carry out the rescue operations and relief activities.
We shall overcome!

LoP Rahul Gandhi pointed out an astonishing fact about Modiโs 2024 Budget - The education expenditure % is the lowest in 20 years!
Education has been at the forefront of discussion in the last couple of months due to paper leaks, especially the NEET one.
But when lakhs of students feel their future has been compromised by this govtโs incompetence, Nirmala decided to cut the spending on education to its lowest in twenty years to just 2.5%. Compare this to UPA 2 which used to spend close to 5% on education.
Modi-Nirmala combo have neglected education and healthcare while giving huge tax cuts to big corporates. They neglect facilities like public schools and public hospitals for the poor to fill the pockets of A1 and A2.
Today in Parliament, when I raised the issue of the caste census, the Finance Minister laughed and ridiculed this serious issue.
Such a dismissive response to the most important issue related to the lives of 90% of the country's population has exposed the intention, mentality and motive of the BJP.
I want to tell the BJP that we will make the caste census a reality at any cost and provide justice to the deprived.
INDIA will bring out the X-Ray of the country to correct the injustice being done to 90% of the population.
- Shri @RahulGandhi
The sections.of society that Modi and Nirmala neglected and put through hardships in budget aren't Abhimanyus stuck in Chakravyuha. They are Arjunas, the real fighters who will see the end of BJP.
@INCKerala@IncomeTaxIndia@nsitharaman Modi's suit-boot ki sarkaar is doing everything to please the rich by looting the middle class and upper middle class. They even bribe allies at the expense of the majority of states to get a free hand to serve their rich bosses.
.@BJP4India@narendramodi led suit-boot ki sarkaar does another masterstroke for the rich by taking away from the middle and upper middle class. If some in these income groups still think BJP and this govt takes care of their welfare, they need serious help. Time to wake them up!
Dear All,
@IncomeTaxIndia, under the capable leadership of @nsitharaman, is trying to convince everyone that the reduced LTCG rate of 12.5% without indexation is beneficial. Yes, they are correct, but only if you make windfall gains. A quick look at this example will reveal the truth.
Consider the same case we demonstrated earlier. If you bought an apartment for โน50 lakhs fifteen years ago, and sell it today, you'll only make a profit after accounting for inflation if you sell it for โน1.32 crores. Earlier, you didn't have to pay any taxes, but now you'll have to pay โน10.32 lakhs even if you didn't make any profit. So, to break even, you actually need to sell at โน1.43 crores.
With the old method, you would pay lesser taxes up to โน2.7 crores. The new method is beneficial only if you sell for more than โน2.7 crores. From there, the more profit you make, the less tax you pay. Are you confident of selling your property at 5.4x value in fifteen years in the current Indian market?
โFor to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away."
This is the new LTCG policy in a nutshell.
Dear Dr. Arun Kumar,
You owe an apology to Arjun's family, the families of other missing persons, your viewers, and the people of Kerala and Karnataka. You have been misleading everyone and creating a lot of havoc and distrust towards qualified SDRF, NDRF relief workers, experts, and the Indian Army.
Without basic fact-checking, you brought in various 'self-declared' experts who don't even know the basics of Newton's three laws of motion. You aired their unedited rants and unleashed a propaganda, which served only to increase the adrenaline rush of your viewers and boost your TRP.
While the Karnataka Government has been saying that the truck was washed away into the river, similar to the gas tankers you witnessed, you kept pushing the narrative that the Karnataka Government was not cooperating.
A massive landmass weighing 60,000 tons, moving with great momentum, pushed a 40-ton truck into the river. Your argument was that a 20 cm tall divider would stop the truck. Despite being a 'PhD scholar', you ignored simple logical explanations, perhaps to keep the story alive for TRP.
Yesterday, you did the unpardonable act of trivialising this case by comparing it to a simpler operation than the unfortunate incident that happened in 'Aamayizhanchaan Thodu' where our disaster relief workers couldn't find Mr Joy's body in a 117 meters stretch, right under the nose of CM @pinarayivijayan. This clearly displays your partisanship as a journalist.
You should apologize to Arjun's family for wasting precious time and your viewers for misleading them. We urge you to clarify and apologize in the interest of quality journalism and the ethics that make people believe in and respect the profession. After all, to err is human.
We pray for the safe return of Arjun and other missing persons and hope the current efforts bear fruit. @reporter_tv
