Meet Tejasvi Surya.
He has been serving as a Member of Parliament in the Lok Sabha from the BJP, representing the Bangalore South constituency since 2019.
Now, let's examine the works carried out during his tenure through the lens of Central Govt's MPLADS website.
A Thread🧵
Adani Enterprises’ Bengaluru tunnel road bid is 96% above the original benchmark. Citizens could pay tolls for up to 50 years, while the project also gets ₹7,079 crore in public funding and commercial rights over 5 prime land parcels. Who really benefits? Bengaluru or Adani?
Mr Kharge;
Do not get rattled; do not divert and answer the specific prima facie questions on corruption and Land Loot by you & Congress President Malikarjun Kharge. @kharge
Facts:
1/ KIADB LAND LOOT
• 5 acres of KIADB land allotted to Siddharth Vihar Trust associated with your family
• The allotment was made for aerospace R&D purposes.
• Reality is that your trust had no aerospace research expertise or background, still land worth ₹100 crore was allotted!
When we pointed your corruption, you returned the land in 2024.
If everything was legal, transparent and justified, why did you return the land?
That was your admission of guilt.
2/ GULBARGA LAND LOOT
• 19 acres of public land allotted in Gulbarga district to your Trust
• This time purpose was Pali language research. The same trust had an aerospace expertise suddenly started researching pali language.
• Land was permanently transferred to your private trust. Lease converted to permanent lease!
• Your own govt CAG observations highlighted that the transfer was not in public interest; primarily benefited the trust: That is Kharge Family!
The court of public opinion decides credibility! The people deserve answers, not deflection!
Btw today; Congress govt imposed Emergency in 1975.
Start with apologising for imposition of emergency; & also ask Gandhi Vadra family to do so!
If every taxpayer can be tracked for every rupee he owes the government, why can’t the government show taxpayers where every rupee spent on roads has gone?
The Government has admitted at various points that nearly ₹5,500 crore has been spent on Bengaluru’s roads. Citizens have a right to know where this money has gone and what outcomes it has delivered.
My demand is simple.
Within the next 30 days, the Government must launch a publicly accessible live dashboard for all road infrastructure works in Bengaluru. Every citizen should be able to see:
• Which road is being worked on
• The cost of the project
• The contractor executing it
• The officer responsible
• The timeline for completion
• The maintenance period
• The defect liability period
• The real-time status of the work
This is not a difficult reform. Bengaluru is India’s technology capital. Hundreds of technology professionals would gladly volunteer their expertise to help build such a platform.
Transparency creates accountability. Accountability improves quality. Quality builds public trust.
₹5,500 crore later, Bengaluru deserves answers.
Build the dashboard. Put every road work online. Let citizens see where their money is going.

Summary: “The Emperor Has No Clothes: Why the AI Infrastructure Buildout Math Doesn’t Work”
The article argues that the current AI infrastructure boom is becoming a speculative bubble similar to the dot-com era, blockchain craze, and metaverse hype.
Key points:
* Companies are committing trillions of dollars to build massive AI data centers, assuming future demand will justify the investment.
* However, actual AI adoption and revenue generation are not growing fast enough to support these enormous expenditures.
* AI services remain expensive, enterprise adoption is gradual, and consumer AI has yet to create demand at the scale required.
* The author warns that many firms are relying on a dangerous “build it and they will come” mentality rather than proven market demand.
* As a result, the industry may face:
* Massive write-downs
* Project cancellations
* Strategic pivots
* Financial losses for companies that overinvested
Arvind Krishna’s Calculation
According to Arvind Krishna:
* A 1 GW AI data center costs about $80 billion.
* A company building 20–30 GW would spend roughly $1.5 trillion.
* Industry-wide AGI-related commitments are estimated at 100 GW, implying around $8 trillion in capital expenditure.
* To merely cover financing costs, the industry would need roughly $800 billion in profits, a figure the author believes is unrealistic given current demand.
Core Message
The author believes the AI industry is dramatically overestimating future demand. Rather than a guaranteed technological revolution, today’s AI infrastructure race may become a classic case of overbuilding driven by hype. Companies that remain disciplined and build according to real demand, rather than optimistic forecasts, are more likely to succeed in the long run
To the man who sacrificed his entire life for our happiness
I am always amazed and inspired everytime you handle any situation.
You are our strength ✨️
Happy fathers day!❤️
Journalist: If I ask you who are your two greatest leaders in the world, who would they be? I assume one is Xi. Who is the other?
Trump: Modi is very good. India has had some very good numbers. Modi stays out of wars which is smart. India is the biggest
Food, nuclear, pharma, data centres.
India’s four biggest growth bets are all water-intensive, being built in states that are already running out of it. The resource isn’t priced. The metering is just starting.
Somewhere in that gap is a company worth building…
11 patients died within 24 hours at Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research in Mysuru #Karnataka
Medical Superintendent Dr. Sadananda clarified all 11 were already in critical condition at the time of admission, and that no patient died due to a shortage of doctors or lack of treatment
He stated three doctors were on night duty and offered CCTV footage for verification.
The hospital however, is operating under severe strain. Doctors are attending to over 100 patients a day against a normal load of 50 to 60
All beds are full, with 20 patients currently being treated on trolleys. The facility caters not just to Mysuru but also to patients from Kodagu, Hassan, Mandya and Chamarajanagar districts
Relatives of the deceased alleged that patients were dying due to the absence of doctors and poor facilities
Completely agree on all the 3 principles for success & happiness in life, with my 25 plus years in public service/academia.
1. Choose to be optimistic. (Pessimism fails you before even you attempt)
2. Take on difficult challenges (you learn a lot if you fail. If you pass you gain enormous satisfaction, confidence and strength to do more)
3. Pursue what excites you (It’s the passion that makes you run the extra mile, not the fruit of it)
@sundarpichai@Stanford@LBSNAA_Official
. @PriyankKharge avare you hold the Home portfolio. You are the custodian of law & order. So a simple question: under which law are you raising these demands?
Name the law that compels a voluntary association to register. There isn’t one being unregistered is completely lawful in India, not an offence by any stretch of imagination.
As a custodian of law and order you should cite the law. So: which provision,exactly ?
Going forward best to get legal advice before you issue more such letters. An earnest suggestion.
Shared my thoughts at the Outreach Session on ‘Forging New Partnerships and Rebuilding International Solidarity’ at the G7 Summit in Evian. In a world that is getting more interconnected and interdependent than ever before, this subject becomes all the more vital. But, partnerships can succeed only when they are founded on trust.

"Every engineer should have a team of agents. The skill isn't writing code anymore, it's orchestrating."
The devs who learn to run agent teams now have a huge privilege.
