Mangaluru is the biggest port city of Karnataka. But has very poor rail connectivity with the state capital Bengaluru. It takes forever to reach MLR.
This Soldier MP @CaptBrijesh has pulled off a decades old demand for railway structure reorg. 🏅
Now compare that to Vadakara, earning 30 crore a year but got a 29 crore redevelopment. This is how systematically funds were diverted from Mangaluru earnings and spent on random stuff in Kerala. Not surprised to see outrage from Malayalis
Late aa vanthalum latestaa vanthuttaanga Chinmayi Madam. It takes a special eye to spot patriarchy and misogyny in a celebration of a woman by women for women .
I am actually wondering why anyone would talk of their loss of manjal / pasupu , kunkumam and other such trad trappings with madam. Sure, you dont have to be married to apply turmeric and kumkum .... and as madam shows by example , you dont have to be a widow to renounce them.
I am also wondering if she gets DMs from men protesting being left out of the festivities.
Meelad-un-nabi and Onam coming up, i am waiting eagerly for her to share her DMs.
I was just in Mumbai, and I have to give them credit for the progress they’re making on infrastructure. The new Aqua Line metro is phenomenal. But the amount of work India still has to do on basic cleanliness and sanitation and it is hard to understand until you see it yourself. Would love for more westerners to go just to understand how wealthy they are, but that's a different point.
Mumbai is completely surrounded by water, yet there are almost no places where people can actually enjoy the water. The beaches are filled with trash, the water is badly contaminated, and almost nobody swims, even when it’s brutally hot outside. Walking on the beach is just mud and trash meeting filthy water on the horizon.
There are much poorer places around the world where people can still use the beaches. This is not just about money. India has gone decades without adequate trash collection, sewage treatment, or enforcement for a population of more than a billion people. At this point, the scale of the problem feels almost impossible, and the oceans around the world are paying the price for Indias garbage output as well.
I like the direction Modi is taking the country, but India needs to treat cleanup like a national emergency. Stop with the small campaigns and organize a full scale blitz.
Offer unemployed people paid work picking up trash, clearing drains and waterways, cleaning beaches, and maintaining public spaces. Give them proper equipment and supervision. Then build the collection and waste processing systems needed to stop everything from becoming filthy again a week later.
India has shown that it can build metros, airports, highways, and digital infrastructure. Clean streets and usable water should be treated as infrastructure too.
Mumbai should have one of the greatest waterfronts in the world. Instead, it's has basically an irrelevant feature of the city and feels surrendered to sewage and garbage.
I didn't want to stoop to this level. But I am done with this sickular nonsense!
here you go
Your family got converted for a bag of rice, and in such a scenario, our ancestors for generations paid tax to preserve our religion. there is a huge difference of who get to speak about Thiruonam
@Rishi_rajput24 Almost every Dutch person I know has an outdoor sport as a hobby; they take it rather seriously and play regularly. Barring Haryana/Punjab and perhaps the North East to an extent, we don't really see this in the rest of India.
@RishiJoeSanu Tulunad is a melting pot, Rishi! Kannadigas feel it is an extension of Karnataka, Konkanis an extension of Goa, Mallus an extension of Keralam etc.
But the truth is, we have been leeched for years by the Palakkad division with nothing much in return. This was long overdue!
Mangaluru’s railways are finally coming under one roof!
A long-pending demand is being fulfilled as the Mangaluru railway region, currently divided across Southern & South Western Railways, is being brought under South Western Railway’s Mysuru Division.
This gives me a great sense of contentment, especially because this is a demand we raised as a priority within days of taking oath as your MP in June 2024.
Since then, we have pursued it relentlessly - taking it up repeatedly with our Hon’ble Union Minister for Railways Shri @AshwiniVaishnaw, whose proactive engagement and responsiveness in taking forward this long-pending demand I deeply appreciate. We have also used every available parliamentary and institutional forum to highlight the concern and press for its expeditious resolution.
This is a significant step for Mangaluru - reducing jurisdictional hurdles, improving coordination, enabling faster resolution of passenger concerns and giving greater focus to railway infrastructure and connectivity across coastal Karnataka.
With the formal notification expected soon, we will be better placed to address many of our railway-related concerns and, most importantly, enable Mangaluru’s railways to move faster on the tracks of Vikas.
Grateful to our Government led by PM Shri @narendramodi, Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw and MoS Shri @VSOMANNA_BJP for making this possible.

@JohnBrittas If Mangaluru is the " financial and operational backbone" of the division, then WHY is the division headquartered at Palakkad? Zero shame huh?
RSS wants to become CCP of India. The only distinction is- CCP is full of technocrats and push for rationality and science.
RSS is full of unmarried boomer farts or corrupts who push for extreme religiosity and unscientific temper and malnutrition in masses.
