@sshambhavii Was the organisation members informed about the suspension? Is there any organisational proceeding ongoing on this matter? Was the suspension pending enquiry/investigation/proceeding? Or was it a punishment holding him guilty?

The government ignored the movement until they were forced to respond. And when they did? A pathetic, token reduction. This isn’t a concession—it’s a calculated insult. #RevokeMetroFareHike #TheyDontCare

Bengaluru Metro got ₹1717.62 Cr in public funding but still hiked fares. Karnataka govt talks about urban mobility, but this move will push lakhs back to traffic jams. Is this governance or extortion? #BengaluruMetro

Why should we pay more to @OfficialBMRCL during peak hours? The Bangalore metro should be affordable to all no matter what time we are using it! This isn't a ride-booking app, it's our basic right to have affordable public transport! #RevokeMetroFareHike @OfficialBMRCL

[Surjadipta De Sarkar @surjadipta]

The Bangalore Metro is no longer for school and university students, who can simply not afford the new rates! Why is the city's public transport not affordable to its own students? #RevokeMetroFareHike @OfficialBMRCL @byrathi_suresh @DKShivakumar @DeccanHerald

The number of people using the metro service in Bangalore has dropped from 8.28 lakh on Monday to 7.62 lakh on Wednesday. The average daily ridership of the previous week is over 8.5 lakh. Who can continue using the metro? #RevokeMetroFareHike @siddaramaiah @DeccanHerald

@DineshK53802042 @Kaju_Nut Please come visit our institute someday, the amount of Geeta reading, religious celebration and spiritual shit that goes on in the campus, you should see. Labs are opened with religious ceremonies. This talk was banned bcz it wasn't religious.

Thread on the arrogance of the privileged and their contempt for the working class.

Minor migrant girl employed by "educated" couple as domestic worker. Mercilessly beaten, denied food and sleep, and sexually abused as well. This is not an isolated case. It's rampant actually. New forms of slavery in urban India.

Since people disinvesting in Adani are anti India, isn't it a good thing that Adani enterprises is getting rid of so many anti India investors?!

India's Debts to GDP ratio from 2003 to 2022. Look at the graph steadily increasing during BJP years and blowing up during pandemic. Remember there were lack of transparency and doubts on GDP being overestimated during 2018 and 2019.

@CNguyenEc @kavita_krishnan @VlStarodubtsev LOL!

[Surjadipta De Sarkar @surjadipta]

@VlStarodubtsev @kavita_krishnan The number of Indians who will tell you that Modi is a great leader is definitely more than that number of relatives you mention. Doesn't make it true. Your certification of journalism being good or bad may be very sought after. But I am not seeking it.

[Surjadipta De Sarkar @surjadipta]

@kavita_krishnan @VlStarodubtsev Not Soviet archives but what US funded researchers make of them. Never saw you ever quote any Soviet archive. It's funny how anything short of starving citizens to arm Azov battalion is unacceptable but a month of silence on Peru can't be questioned.

[Surjadipta De Sarkar @surjadipta]

@VlStarodubtsev @kavita_krishnan Thanks for your certification of her work's worth. How would we know about it otherwise! Amuses me to see both Russian and Ukrainian fascists resenting USSR during Stalin!

[Clifton D' Rozario @clifroz]

@Captain_Mani72 @Karnataka_SWD please look into this. Students being expelled for complaining about the sub-standard food in the ST hostel! Surely the students have the right to demand what is due to them.
