The Election Commission of India is under fire like never before.

The SIR has struck 13 crore names off draft rolls, putting the EC at the centre of intense public debate over its role in deciding who gets to vote — and who doesn’t.

HOWEVER, what nobody knew: through that same period, some of the sharpest questions were being asked from inside.

Out today, after months of work. Our #ExpressInvestigation 🧵

@drshamamohd @narendramodi TBH, Indian gums are nothing but sugar and bad for your teeth. So I think apart from availability of India-made good, focus should be on improving quality.

@rapidobikeapp
Currently on a Rapido ride where driver is telling me economy cabs no longer provide AC. He is saying it’s a new rule from today. And he is asking for extra charges for turning on AC. Is this true @rapidobikeapp ?

[Tanima Banerjee @tan_tacles]

@rapidobikeapp the driver asking for extra cash for turning on AC on an economy cab. He is saying it’s a new rule at Rapido. Is this true?

[Tanima Banerjee @tan_tacles]

@MyntraSupport Shared. Please check

[Tanima Banerjee @tan_tacles]

@MyntraSupport also has not responded to any of my complaints. The number from which logistics guy had called is disconnecting, meaning I have been blocked by them. If my product has been stolen, @myntra pls take action. And please refund my money. This is just harrassment

[Tanima Banerjee @tan_tacles]

Is @myntra going the Amazon way? I ordered a product 2 weeks ago, but it showed 'delivered' on app even though I was not at home and no delivery agent called me. On reporting to @MyntraSupport a logistics guy told me he will give pdt by EOD. Its been 5 days, no delivery. #fraud

This is the video of Dr Manmohan Singh’s speech on March 10 2005 - where he refers to the fact that he was prevented from replying to the Motion of Thanks on June 10, 2004

[Tanima Banerjee @tan_tacles]

@makemytripcare Nobody has contacted me for the last 10 days since I flagged the issue here. Don't send me templated messages. It reeks of mismanagement and absolute cheating on your part. There is zero assistance from your end despite my patience and giving you all details. PATHETIC!

@makemytripcare #FRAUD

This September, we had undertaken a trip to Switzerland and France, with most arrangements made by @makemytrip. Most of the trip went smooth, except on Day 7, when we noticed the activity booked way very far from our hotel. so we decided to cancel it.

[Tanima Banerjee @tan_tacles]

I didn't expect this kind of harassment and unethical conduct from @makemytrip. The screenshots below clearly show they will give refund minus 15% fine. Then where did my money go? This is total fraud by MMT. Rest assured, I plan to go to consumer court to take this forward.

[Tanima Banerjee @tan_tacles]

Today I got a call from @makemytrip saying there will be no refund at all. I was shocked! Why harass me all this time if they planned to go this way? I was assured of a refund and now I am told to go take a hike. Where is the money if the activity arrangers have returned it?

[Tanima Banerjee @tan_tacles]

PLEASE Don’t BuY from @weavinghomes_
There is zero customer service.
They take no responsibility of the products they are sending.
They will look for ways not to refund money for missing items. Nor do they care.
Well, you lost a customer today for sure.

[Tanima Banerjee @tan_tacles]

After back-and-forth mails, @weavinghomes_ not only refused to issue “ missing item, they also denied a refund. They completely shrugged off any responsibility and issued a hollow apology. This is customer #harassment You take money, but don’t care if it reached them properly.

[Tanima Banerjee @tan_tacles]

@weavinghomes_ asked to share images of shipping box and the label. I did so. A slight part of label was torn, most likely during unboxing or delivery. But I shared them anyway as the bit about the order was clearly written, which said that the missing cup was part of order.

[Tanima Banerjee @tan_tacles]

#Warning #dontbuyfromsocialmedia

So I had placed an order during #BlackFriday on this platform called @weavinghomes_ whose ad came on a social media platform. While most items arrived, I noticed one product was missing. I immediately mailed them. Their response was shocking.

[Tanima Banerjee @tan_tacles]

@bookmyshow_sup @bookmyshow Still no update @bookmyshow ? Its been 10 days since I highlighted this issue.

[Tanima Banerjee @tan_tacles]

So @bookmyshow is now running a new scam at events. I was trying to make a UPI payment for availing F&B services at the top-up counter at last week's Ed Sheeran concert. Obviously, due to pathetic internet connection at the venue, the payment was stuck so I paid by card.
