While we discuss the moral lessons by Subhash Chandra and Zee group, it is good to remind ourselves of how he became an MP.
This is also about EC's role in ensuring people's mandate.
Year: June 2016
Election: Rajya Sabha seat
Electorate: 90 MLAs.
State: Haryana
Vacancies: 2 seats.
Contestants: Birender Singh (BS), a BJP candidate
Subhash Chandra - Independent; with BJP support.
RK Anand - Independent; Cong+INLD support.
Round 1: The Haryana Assembly has 90 members. BS got 40 votes, Anand got 21 votes and Chandra got 15 votes. 14 votes were rejected.
Round 2: With 14 votes rejected, BS needed only 26 to win. So, BS transferred the remaining 14 votes to Chandra as he was the second option marked by BJP MLAs. Chandra thus ended up with 29 votes. The third candidate, RK Anand, stayed put at 21 votes.
The Fairness: The EC gave a Violet Ink Pen and instructed all MLAs to use that one for voting. Every MLA would vote and pass on that pen for the next MLA to use it. The BJP MLAs used it. The INLD MLAs also used it. The last BJP MLA after casting his vote, changed the pen and passed on a black ink pen to the next in line Congress MLA. And that black ink pen was passed on by every Cong MLA to the next one. 14 passes in all. 14 votes in all. And all those 14 votes were declared invalid by the EC.
Subhash Chandra won. BJP won. Congress lost. INLD lost. Cong charged EC official of fraud. They asked how was the pen changed without the EC noticing it? Imagine a invalid ballot box being used under EC supervision and we all merrily vote.
That is the story of Subhash Chandra, ethics and also about our election commission.
IPS Officer Sanjiv Bhatt demonstrated unwavering integrity by refusing to yield to intense political pressure, ultimately facing severe consequences and being incarcerated for his principled stance. His daughter, Dr Aakashi Bhatt, provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the gruelling 4+ year legal battle that has unfolded against a deeply compromised and subverted system. Through her powerful testimony, she sheds light on the challenges, obstacles, and injustices encountered throughout this prolonged struggle. This is a story that demands to be heard, shared widely, and amplified across all platforms. The fight for truth and accountability remains far from over, and justice has yet to be fully served. Until the system is held accountable and true justice prevails, the battle continues.

Modi invented Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code in 2016 exactly for making money out of loan write-offs. Arun Shourie exposed this several years ago.
They'll write off 99.97% of the loan and take money from the promoter who will buy back the business cleverly using their relatives. Here gives an clear example of how it is done.
Make no mistake @narendramodi, has institutionalized corruption in this country. It took British 200 years to loot this country and he is doing it in record time.
While cutting a minister’s hair, the barber asks:
“Sir, what is this Swiss bank matter all about?”
The minister shouted:
“Are you cutting my hair or investigating me?”
Barber:
“Sorry, sir. I was just asking.”
The next day, while cutting the hair of a senior former minister, the barber asks:
“Sir, what was this black money issue all about?”
The leader gets angry and says:
“Who told you to ask such questions?”
Barber:
“Sorry, sir. I just asked casually.”
On the third day, while cutting a judge’s hair, the barber asks:
“Sir, what punishment is given for burning currency notes?”
The judge gets furious:
“Hey, are you… are you a CBI agent?”
Barber:
“No, sir. It just came to my mind, so I asked.”
On the fourth day, the CBI calls the barber for questioning.
CBI Officer:
“Are you a Pakistani agent?”
Barber:
“No, sir.”
CBI:
“Are you an agent of any opposition party?”
Barber:
“No, sir.”
CBI:
“Then do you have any senior lawyer in your family?”
Barber:
“I swear to God, sir, nothing like that. I am just a simple, poor barber by family profession.”
CBI:
“Then why do you ask VIP people about Swiss banks, black money, and punishment for burning currency notes while cutting their hair?”
Barber:
“Sir, I also don’t know anything about these matters. But whenever I ask these questions, their hair stands up straight… and it becomes easier for me to cut it!”

Man went to buy shoes from a Red Tape store and purchased items worth ₹4,713.
He asked for carry bags. The company refused to provide carry bags for free, citing company policy.
He was charged an extra ₹30 for three carry bags.
He then went to consumer court, filed a case, and won.
The court ordered Red Tape to pay:
- ₹30 for the three carry bags, with 9% annual interest.
- ₹15,000 as compensation for mental harassment, pain, and agony.
- ₹11,000 towards litigation expenses.
The amount must be paid within 45 days. If not, an additional 12% annual interest will apply.
This is the nub of the problem in India. Parliament is no longer the forum where MPs debate issues and Bills. The Govt and its stooge the Speaker shut down any speech that is critical of the Govt's record. They see Parlmnt as rubber stamp.
Another fine example of Sanskari dharmik Hindutva Bhakt’s.
In the interest of L&O, these goons should be banned from taking processions in the name of religion.
They are humiliating & demeaning real Hindu devotees who are peaceful & truly religious.
RAGHAV BROUGHT THE PUNJAB SCRIPT DHRUV BROUGHT THE RECEIPTS 🚨
RAGHAV CHADHA: Punjab’s pharmacy exam saw massive irregularities involving Bluetooth cheating and a ₹13 lakh rate.
DHRUV RATHEE 🎯: High-tech cheating, not a paper leak. The accused were arrested. The Punjab “leak” collapses at the first fact.
RAGHAV: Accountability cannot change with the party or state.
DHRUV 🔥: Agreed. The Union government’s own reports rank Punjab No. 1 in PARAKH and school education, with 99% computer access and over 80% smart classrooms.
Standard. I was constantly and relentlessly surveilled, followed, harassed in 2020 for the unforgivable crime of ensuring that those whose homes had been burnt down get some assistance in the form of funds or relief material.
First time I’m sharing this publicly.
Needless to say that what I suffered wasn’t even 0.1% of what thousands of Muslims in Delhi suffered during that period.
🚆A video circulating on social media shows a passenger performing prayers on the upper berth of an AC train coach while lighting incense sticks and an oil lamp.
A fellow passenger reportedly intervened, explaining that such acts can be dangerous. Smoke may trigger the train's fire alarm, while an open flame inside a moving train poses a serious fire risk.
The message isn't against any religion or faith. It is a reminder that public safety must come first.

Humble, emotional, overwhelmed, angry, informed, hardworking, curious, frustrated yet polite.
Irfan has so many emotions in this 21 min video.
He educated himself in a way that worked for him and is asking for a better life which he is working hard.
Incredible story and this is what India needs to provide. - Opportunities for everyone. Whoever is the government.
This is the find of the cockroach protest. He humbles all of is us. Have listened to this 10 times. What do we do to ensure that he gets an opportunity to be a future leader? (I disagree with those who want to set him up with a small business) millions who agree with me- we can fund his future. !!
No you don’t need to prove your sincerity. Everybody is proud of you & thankful to you for your selfless struggle,fast& sacrifice. 🙏🙏
But sir, you did one blunder by accepting a drink from Nadda who represents the same authoritarianism against which you & others are fighting.
Don’t know her name.
She is from Hyderabad…told her parents that she is going out.
Booked a one way ticket to Delhi to be part of Jantar Mantar! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
She has no contacts there but she thinks she will be okay. Please help her Dear Delhi, if you see her.
Even I think, she will be okay.
You go girl!! ✊🏽
PS: Someone today morning said that Telugu students don’t care because they are busy with fan wars and caste wars. I mostly agree, but I also think Telangana students understand agitations. They lived through one and they value a good agitation.
Inquilab Zindabad ✊🏽 🇮🇳
Who are these 'lathiveers' without uniform, who were beating students? If they are policemen, the police dept should reveal identity.
If they're not, they should be identified too and the nation should know who authorised them.
My father, Prof VK Tripathi, visited Jantar Mantar today. He was happy to see the students protesting peacefully. This protest must reach every institute now. 🙌🙌
