Soothsayers operate on the principle of probability: when the volume of predictions grows large enough, roughly 50% will come true by chance. They then work hand-in-glove with regressive political parties to propagate those successful predictions, using them to push their agenda and keep society stuck in backwardness. The goal is to dazzle and mislead ignorant people—both to keep them backward, secure their political support, and loot them of their hard-earned money.

Astrologer Sharmistha:

>Predicted that PoK would become part of India by 2025.

> Predicted that Yogi Adityanath would join the Central Government by December 2025.

> Predicted that Benjamin Netanyahu would return as Prime Minister of Israel.

>Predicted that the Stock Market would start recovering in 2026.

> None of these predictions came true; in fact, the opposite happened in many cases.

She has now predicted that Rahul Gandhi will never become Prime Minister.

प्रधानमंत्री ने दिवाली के दिन भी देश को अपनी चिर-परिचित अभद्र भाषा से नहीं बख्शा है।

उन्होंने एक बार फिर अपने कुछ राजनीतिक विरोधियों को ‘दिमागी नक्सली’ कहकर सम्बोधित किया है। सबसे आपत्तिजनक बात यह है कि उन्होंने इसके लिए एक बेहद गंभीर और गैर-राजनीतिक अवसर का दुरुपयोग किया, सुरक्षा बलों की वर्दी पहनी और अपने राजनीतिक विरोधियों पर जमकर कीचड़ उछाला। यह तमाम मर्यादाओं और परम्पराओं पर खुला हमला है। लेकिन इन महाशय को उसूलों और आदर्शों की परवाह ही कब रही है।

28 अप्रैल, 2024 को उन्होंने जातिगत जनगणना की मांग करने वालों को ‘अर्बन नक्सली’ कहा था। यह अलग बात है कि बाद में, 30 अप्रैल, 2025 को उन्होंने स्वयं जनगणना 2027 के तहत जातिगत जनगणना कराने की घोषणा की।

इससे पहले, सितम्बर 2020 में उन्होंने तीनों काले कृषि कानूनों के खिलाफ आंदोलन कर रहे लोगों को नक्सली विचारधारा का समर्थक बताया था। बाद में, 19 नवम्बर, 2021 को उन्होंने उन्हीं कानूनों को वापस ले लिया।

प्रधानमंत्री साफ तौर पर हताश, परेशान और बेचैन हैं। स्पष्ट है कि अब झोला उठाने का वक्त तेजी से करीब आ रहा है।

Watch | “Great damage has been done to the fabric of India by the BJP,” says former Congress president #SoniaGandhi in this wide-ranging interview to The Hindu's @nramind on her soon-to-be-launched book, Belonging: A Journey of Love. She reflects on the rise of the BJP and RSS, the impact on Indian democracy and institutions, the challenges facing the Congress, and her experience of working with former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during the UPA years.

Ten years ago tonight, India was told: black money ends now.

We were told: Black money sits in cash. Cancel the cash, and the black money dies.

🔔Then the RBI counted. 99.3% of the cancelled notes came back.

Either India had almost no black money in cash, or the plan gave it a free, legal way to launder itself. Neither answer reflects well on the government.

And the other promises?

🚫Terror funding: Ended? We wish. Otherwise, the Pulwama and Pahalgam attacks, or the Red Fort blast, would never have happened.

🚫Fake notes: Gone? Not quite. In 2025–26, over 1.4 lakh counterfeit new ₹500 notes were detected.

🚫Corruption: Rooted out? Ask anyone who has ever tried to get a file moving.

🚫The ₹2,000 note was introduced to fix the problem, only to be quietly withdrawn in 2023.

🚫And the cash we were told to give up? It has grown from ₹13 lakh crore in 2017 to over ₹41 lakh crore today.

All of this came at a price: endless queues, lost jobs, shuttered small businesses and lives lost.

🔔In 2016, Narendra Modi asked for 50 days. He said that if any serious flaw in his decision came to light after 30 December, people could take him to any “chauraha” and punish him as they saw fit.

🚫It has been ten years. That is roughly 73 times the time he asked for.

The flaws are on record. The data is public. We are still waiting for an accounting, or even an acknowledgement.

Modi ji, in India there is rule of law. Justice is not yet meted out on Chaurahas.

Perhaps you could accept @RahulGandhi Ji’s challenge and debate him at the same “chauraha”.

You don't dare debate foreign relations. At least grow the spine to debate demonetisation.

Such cowardice doesn't suit a PM with a 56-inch chest.

This is not a political book, it’s a personal one.

Much has been written about my family, but rarely with real insight into who they were, their motivations, their struggles, their very human flaws. I wanted to portray them honestly, as people I knew and loved.

I write in the Hindu about how Belonging came to be.

Solidarity with the fierce Divya Ahirwar, who is finally out of jail after 41 days!

Why was she jailed?

Just because she raised her voice against the displacement of adivasi and dalit families due to the Ken-Betwa Project in Bundelkhand.

PM instructing CRPF personnel to “eliminate” the Opposition who he labels as “dimaagi naxal”.

This crook is giving a political speech to uniformed personnel.

That’s why CRPF/RAF used pellet guns on unarmed protestors in Delhi.

What a pathetic man.

Modi's BIGGEST Failure Notebandi turned 10. Modi went SILENT 🤐

The man who announces everything with a big event
won't even mention his own "masterstroke" today.
Wonder why. 🤔

November 8, 2016. 8 PM. One TV address.
86% of the country's cash, gone overnight.
A nation pushed into bank queues. 🏦

The promise was huge:
end black money, end fake notes,
end terror funding, end cash. 💸

Ten years later, RBI's own data answers.
Cash with public: 11.9% of GDP before notebandi.
Today: 12.1%. Even higher. 📈

"Less-cash India"? Unfulfilled.
Cash usage is right where it was.
The pain bought nothing on this front. 💀

And the fake notes he promised to finish?
Fake ₹500 notes in 2016-17: 0.3 per crore.
In 2025-26: 20.1 per crore. 🤡

That's not a dip.
That's a jump of over 60 times
in the brand new "secure" note.

Remember the shiny ₹2,000 note?
Sold as the hardest to fake.
RBI began pulling it out in 2023. 🗑️

Black money? RBI's own 2018 report:
99.3% of the banned notes came back to banks.
So where did all the "black money" go? 🕳️

"Give me 50 days," Modi had said.
"If I'm wrong, punish me at any crossroads."
Ten years on, not one apology. 🎤

Daily wage workers lost work.
Small traders and farmers bled.
Families stood in queues for their own money. 💔

And the man who caused it?
Not one press conference in 11 years
to answer a single question about it. 🤐

Then came electoral bonds, anonymous cash for parties,
BJP the biggest gainer,
till the Supreme Court struck them down. ⚖️

So black money didn't die.
It just changed its route,
and found a home in party coffers. 🧺

Dus saal, sau sawaal, ek bhi jawaab nahi,
masterstroke ka anniversary bhi chhupana pad gaya 🗿🔥

If you have an identifiably Muslim name, you are more likely to be disenfranchised.

The roots of this rot go right to the top: a Prime Minister who once suggested that Muslims could be identified by their clothing, making them targets of lynch mobs.

This is the government's idea of citizenship: a game of musical chairs in which Muslims are always the first to be pushed out.

The Prime Minister has not spared the nation even on Diwali day his trademark abuse.

He has once again spoken of what he calls dimagi naxals. He has used a very solemn non-political occasion, donned the uniform of the security forces, and hurled invectives at his political rivals. This is a brazen assault on all institutional norms but when has that ever stopped this man?

It was on April 28, 2024 that he had said that those demanding a caste census were urban naxals. Later on April 30, 2025, he announced that a caste census will be carried out as part of Census 2027.

Earlier, in Sept 2020, he had called those agitating against the three black farm laws as supporters of a naxal ideology. Later, on Nov 19, 2021, he withdrew those very laws.

The PM is clearly distraught, disturbed and desperate. Jhola-picking-up time is fast approaching.

मोदी पैसे देकर ट्रंप से अपनी तारीफ वाले पोस्ट करवा रहे थे।

ये खुलासा खुद अमेरिका की Mercury Public Affairs नाम की एक लॉबिंग फर्म ने किया है।

इस फर्म को मोदी सरकार ने 75 हजार डॉलर महीने पर रखा था।

दरअसल, अमेरिका में FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) के तहत लॉबिंग फर्म को अपने काम बताने होते हैं। इसी के तहत ये जानकारी सामने आ गई।

फर्म ने बताया कि जून 2026 में ट्रंप ने मोदी के सबसे लंबे समय तक चयनित प्रधानमंत्री बनने पर बधाई दी थी - ये बधाई पोस्ट इस लॉबिंग फर्म ने करवाया था।

ये लॉबिंग फर्म ट्रंप के करीबी लोगों का है। इसलिए ट्रंप तक इसकी पहुंच आसान थी। इसलिए मोदी सरकार ने इन्हें पैसे दिए थे।

सोचिए - देश जब चुनौतियों से घिरा हुआ था, जब हॉर्मूज के आस पास भारतीय जहाजों और नाविकों पर हमले हो रहे थे।

उस वक्त मोदी अपनी तारीफ करवाने का फर्जी PR चलवा रहे थे। जनता के पैसे पोस्ट और ट्वीट करवाने में उड़ा रहे थे।

ये सब कितना शर्मनाक है - लोगों को पैसे देकर अपनी झूठी तारीफ करवाना। मोदी ने भारत के प्रधानमंत्री पद की गरिमा बहुत गिरा दी है।
