[Harmeet Kaur K 🇮🇳 @iamharmeetK]

Congress leader and Senior Supreme Court Advocate @DrAMSinghvi very strong words on TMC political turmoil
"I am not one of those who think that there is no dissatisfaction, anger in those who have left the TMC. I am also not one of those who think that the BJP alone is the reason for them to leave. But let me make a few points crystal clear...
▪️Never before in the 75-80 years of Indian history has any party misused agencies, that includes past BJP Govts and non-Congress Govts, to even 1/10th the extent which this Govt has done.
▪️Secondly, in the last 75-80 years of Indian political history, no party has aggregated and misused as many monetary resources as this ruling party.
▪️Third, there is no doubt in my mind that there are categories of people. You cannot equate a Suvendu Adhikari with the others who have left. Suvendu Adhikari may have had serious differences but he had the guts to leave the party years ago. He fought on the ground, he carried a campaign, he won the elections, he became the CM. That is the democractic way of doing. You may not agree with him but you cannot criticise him for this. There is a second category of a very small number where people have left after 5th May 2026. But they have at least had the moral courage to resign their seats. The third category is the largest, they are not prepared to leave the office, they are not prepared to leave their greediness, they are not prepared to leave anything of the TMC which got them where they are.
So, what kind of category is this?
This is nothing but immoral.
▪️Fourthly, there is a huge complete, ridiculous conceptual distortion that anywhere any legislature party - if so called 2/3rd walk out and form a group then the anti-defection law doesn't apply. This is the most ridiculously wrong interpretation and is based on complete ignorance or deliberate non-understanding of the existing law which has been decided by the Supreme Court.
▪️Fifthly, pick up and read the Shiv Sena judgment of 2022. There is no concept of a 2/3rds simplicitor in the legislator party which will prevent the application of the 'dal badal' anti-defection law. They will be subject to disqualification.
However, in this country, the process is the punishment.
Everybody knows the law but I, as an existing TMC and Mamata Banerjee, will file a complaint against you that you have left. That complaint will go to the Speakers of the Assembly and Lok Sabha. Is it possible to contemplate that those Speakers who belong to the ruling party will allow my complaint? They will reject and those people will be recognised. I will go to court and the court will take 3-4 years.
▪️Lastly, I have been advocating for many years that you must repeal all this farce of the 10th Schedule. You must have a 2-line 10th Schedule which says that anybody who is elected on symbol x and party y and who does directly or indirectly any other anti-party activity and joins/support any other party must resign the post he holds and refight the elections..."

AKHILESH RAISED A BIG ALARM ON UP ELECTIONS 🔥

REPORTER: What is your concern about the coming elections?

AKHILESH YADAV 😳: I am saying this clearly. They looted Bengal. They were dishonest in Bihar. If the same happens in UP, elections will become a thing of the past.

[Mohit Chauhan @mohitlaws]

Rahul Gandhi is fighting a crazy battle.

There is a massive paid negative PR campaign running on Instagram against Rahul Gandhi, using edited video clips and misinformation.

BJP is celebrating the C-295 aircraft being assembled in India.

In 2021, India signed a deal for 56 C-295 aircraft for the Indian Air Force.

The first 16 C-295s were imported from Spain, while the remaining 40 are being manufactured and assembled in India through the Airbus–Tata partnership in Vadodara.

The C-295’s engines, propellers, avionics, landing gear, sensors, technology, and several other key components are imported, but the BJP is celebrating it as if it has achieved something that has never been done before.😭

Rahul Gandhi’s statement still stands strong today: “Made in India” can never become a reality without supporting MSMEs and helping them grow into large scale manufacturers.

Dear Indians,

THIS is the time to Prove that you Care for our Nation.

Join the Resistance Movement by combined opposition.

[Jothimani @jothims]

The fight for India's youth begins now.
From paper leaks and exam irregularities to unemployment and broken promises, an entire generation is being pushed into uncertainty.
Under the leadership of @RahulGandhi ,Congress is launching a nationwide movement to stand with students and young aspirants, demand accountability, and fight for a fair, transparent and merit based education and recruitment system.
The voice of India's youth will not be silenced.

[Mahua Moitra @MahuaMoitra]

Traitor TMC lawmakers don’t know law. Constitution 91st Amendment 2003 removed provision for split/ separate bloc. Number of MPs is irrelevant- 2/3 of original political party has to MERGE with another party. All 19 traitors need to resign & contest on BJP ticket.

3 AM Saturday June 13.
Police arrive at Abhishek Banerjee’s @abhishekaitc’s Kalighat residence in Kolkata.
5 AM: Disaster Management team called in to break open locks.
6:30 AM: Search begins, from second floor to terrace, lasting 90 minutes.
Outcome? Seizure report says : NIL.
No evidence. No wrongdoing. NOTHING.
Just political vendetta, intimidation and mental torture. Operation Lotus is targeting every leader who refuses to surrender to the BJP’s diktat. Disgraceful attack on an opposition leader. VINDICTIVE, CONNIVING, scumbag LOW LIFE tactics. SHAME.

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

IMPORTANT: NO criminal case pending against Meenakshi Natarajan in Telangana matter clarifies a Hyderabad court, returns the private petition citing lack of jurisdiction. This happens exactly in the week where her election nomination was rejected by a returning officer because of this very case and SC refused to intervene and asked her to file an election petition in HC instead. So who will now ensure justice is done to her and institutional integrity maintained? @ECISVEEP @indSupremeCourt . ANYONE?? https://t.co/Hc7OwXOtel

असम में वायुसेना की विमान दुर्घटना में हमारे पाँच वीर जवानों के शहीद होने का समाचार अत्यंत दुःखद है।

इस दुख की घड़ी में मेरी गहरी संवेदनाएं शहीदों के शोकाकुल परिजनों के साथ हैं। देश इन बहादुर जवानों का सर्वोच्च बलिदान हमेशा याद रखेगा।

I am genuinely curious. Are these delusional, idiots or just shameless to pretend they don’t know how much they’re ridiculed in India & internationally?

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

IMPORTANT: SC dismisses Meenakshi Natarajan plea on rejection of her RS nomination, says she must file election petition in HC. A petition like this will take minimum 2-3 years , followed by appeal by which the RS term will be over!@ECISVEEP will take hands-off approach saying matter is sub judice! Net net: a returning officer can act in a prima facie arbitrary manner to disqualify a candidate with no immediate legal remedy. What a ‘masterstroke’!🙏

[Aditya Ojha @thispodcastguy]

Congress to launch a nationwide campaign against the Modi Government’s education failures.

Rahul Gandhi will lead four mega rallies in Kota, Prayagraj, Patna, and Delhi.

RESISTANCE BEGINS.

Year 2012:

2 Italian Marines killed 2 Indian fishermen. They were arrested and brought to Kochi, criminal and terror case were run. India stood up against Italy and EU, case went to international arbitration. Finally in 2020, Indians Supreme Court closed the case as Italy promised to run a criminal case against them and paid ₹10 cr as compensation to the families of fishermen.

Year 2026

3 Indians have been killed by US, Modi remains silent. He is busy thanking Trump and ironically he questioned Congress on Italian marines. India was really a superpower during UPA.

A Year After Ahmedabad Crash, the DGCA Unit Meant to Keep Planes Airworthy Is Half-Empty

The Modi government had not made a single new hire in the unit, nor created any new post in it, since the air crash.
