I visited the southernmost tip of India.
I stood at Indira Point. I walked under trees that have stood for centuries. I dove into coral reefs among the most vibrant on earth.
And I sat with the people who live there. Tribal communities, whose land is being taken away by violating the Forest Rights Act. Settlers, many of them former soldiers, placed on these islands by the Indian government, who aren’t getting fair compensation.
The Modi government and BJP tells you Great Nicobar Project is about defence. It is not.
Expand INS Baaz - we will back the government fully. The Navy has been asking for expansion for five years - it has been ignored.
They tell you it is about a transhipment port. It is not. India is already building one in Kerala, which is on the mainland.
What it actually is: 1.5 crore trees felled. Coral reefs erased from official maps. Soldiers and tribals displaced - so one businessman can build hotels and casinos on India’s most irreplaceable ecological land.
Every young Indian I have spoken to understands this. You know that no amount of profit is worth destroying what can never be recovered.
I stand for ecologically balanced development. These islands can be the most extraordinary sustainable destination the world has ever seen. That is the India worth fighting for.

🚨🚨Old Video of AMIT SHAH about:
Suvendu Adhikari (Bengal CM from BJP)
taking bribes in Narada Sting.
Kaise besharam log hain ye.😭😭😭
Corrupt Nationalist.😂
Journalists have been asking one question all week:
Did SIR help deliver Bengal to the BJP?
The answer is not that simple.
But before we move on to the numbers, no data analysis can justify the potential disenfranchisement of 27.16 lakh people.

@ShoaibDaniyal I personally had been on SIR list and had to challenge because of discrepancies with my father’s surname spellings. Weirdly my sibling wasn’t on the list. Very weird thing this SIR
@wanderingraptor Also about protein to weight ratio, old school bengali body builders had bombil. 100gms gave 14gms of protein with only 70 calories if steamed. So yeah, bombay’s bombil is a bengali favourite since ages!
