Thread: The #Voyager#Golden#Records
This was #phonograpic record that was part of #Voyager#spacecraft launched in #1977. It was added to the spacecraft to showcase our diversity and life and send some cool information if at all it was found by any intelligent life.
This is not delimitation. This is political re-engineering at the cost of Southern states.
The proposal to increase Lok Sabha seats from 543 to 850 will systematically reduce the voice of the South, while rewarding unchecked population growth elsewhere. This is nothing but punishing progress and good governance.
Let’s be absolutely clear: Congress fully supports Women’s Reservation. In fact, it was Smt. Sonia Gandhi’s vision and commitment that brought this dream to the national agenda. We demand that it be implemented without linking it to delimitation or seat expansion.
I urge the Union Govt to not hide behind women’s empowerment to push a deeply unfair political agenda. Rushing such a massive restructuring of India’s democracy during elections, without transparency or consultation, is deeply suspicious and unacceptable.
India’s strength lies in balance not in domination. In fairness and not in manipulation.
The Southern states will stand united, speak in one voice, and defend the true spirit of federalism. We will not allow the South to be politically marginalised.
#Delimitation
"India will once again witness the spirit of the DMK of the 1950s and 1960s. Do not mistake this for a threat. This is a warning. Even if you choose to interpret it as a threat, it does not concern us."
Tamil Nadu CM @mkstalin issued a stern warning to the Union government over the proposed #delimitation exercise ahead of the special session of #Parliament, scheduled to begin on April 16.
In a video message, the CM stated that the state would launch a massive agitation if its interests were harmed or if southern states were disproportionately affected.
"This special session is being forcibly convened in the midst of elections and Tamil Nadu and West Bengal," he added.

Indians deserve the best roads, not this.
Here's what would happen if Bannerghatta Road was built in a developed country:
1. An investigation would be opened
2. Lawsuits filed
3. Responsibility assigned
4. Action taken against those responsible
5. Road fixed the next day

Few months back, Airtel Spam protection was working so well. Since past few weeks or more, It is not blocking even a single SPAM call. I confirmed same from Airtel App - Spam dashboard. Why is it so?
Dear IRCTC,
When the entire ticket booking, cancellation, and refund process is 100% online and automated,
which “clerk” is working for whom ₹60 clerkage is being charged per passenger?
Please clearly explain what service is being provided for this deduction.
Transparency is expected from a digital platform.
@AshwiniVaishnaw@RailMinIndia
@IRCTCofficial spent 2110
refund 1980
Crime: Tried to book tatkal ticking using #irctc@IndianRailways
I didn't cancel it. maybe 20 rp is acceptable per ticket
Booked Tatkal Ticket - stays in WL - IRCTC cancels it after chart prep.
And yet, they still deduct "cancellation charges" and "convenience fees" from the refund. Why is the passenger paying a penalty for a seat the railways couldn't provide?
#IndianRailways@IRCTCofficial
Booked a train ticket via IRCTC for ₹321 (Kanpur → Delhi).
Ticket remained Waitlisted (WL 10) and got auto-cancelled.
Facts: • Ticket fare: ₹290
• IRCTC charges deducted
• Refund received: ₹250
• ₹60 deducted without any service
My questions: • Why is IRCTC charging fees when the ticket is not confirmed?
What exact rule allows deduction of ₹60 for a cancelled waitlisted ticket?
• How is this fair to passengers?
Passengers deserve transparent rules and full refunds when no service is provided.

People would have asked trains for inside Karnataka like Shivamogga to Raichur via Hosapete, Mangaluru to Kalaburagi, Bengaluru to Raichuru via Hosapete and etc. Look at what we are getting West Bengal to Bengaluru. So this shows everything decided in the AC Rooms not from people point of views. Federal Structure just found a place in Dust Bin.
