TMC MP Derek O'Brien had said that if the BJP wins even 1 out of Kolkata’s 11 seats, he would shave his head.

Now BJP has won 6 out of 11. If he stands by his word, he should shave his head six times.

@deepsan101 @Tushar15 There are seats with 50% of the population that the BJP won. Read.

1. Just got off a call with @UnSubtleDesi. I couldn't be happier for her and both of us couldn't help but discuss the harrowing days of post poll violence in West Bengal in 2021. So I am going to share what happened five years ago just so ppl know what happened. #WestBengal2026.

You gotta be kidding me. Google Maps has an open redirect URL? I just got this phishing link. What the heck. @googlemaps do you not treat this as a major security issue?

I was not aware that such law also exists in India

If Hindu A gifts his land to Hindu B then Hindu B needs to register it and to pay stamp duty to govt (Section 123, TP Act)

But if Muslim A gifts his land to Muslim B then Muslim B doesn’t need to register it or pay stamp duty to the govt (Section 129, TP Act based on Sharia law Hiba)

When a petitioner approached the Supreme Court for this then the court asked him to approach the Central govt to amend this

This law was made by Britishers in 1882 to divide India and after 1947 Congress continued it

My question to all political parties

Why don’t you just declare India a Sharia country?

If you ever needed reassurance and reaffirmation that the India-EU trade deal is a great thing for India, the Commies rejection of the deal should convince you that India is on the right path. Rule of thumb: do the opposite of what the leftist communist cabal says, and you will do great by India.

Professor Kamakoti works in deep tech: micro-processor design. He is the Director of IIT-Madras, the best technological institution in India. He serves in the NSAB.

He richly deserves the honour.

I have defended him on scientific grounds and I will do so again: cow dung and cow urine have excellent microbiome that could be valuable for humans.

It is the slavish colonial mindset that thinks these are not scientific propositions worthy of investigation. Some day, when Harvard or MIT publish a study on this, these enslaved minds would worship that as the gospel truth.

Met the head of a manufacturing unit in Indore. He was bemoaning the lack of labour, despite jobs being available.

His take was that with all the freebies -- free electricity, free ration, free health, free housing, MNREGA, people didn't feel the need to work. Or just enough to make ₹5000/month. Enough for bike fuel, liquor and some fun.

I don't know if this is true, but we also do suffer from lack of labour. And this sounds plausible.

Nehru awarded the first CEC the Padma Bhushan and later made him Vice-Chancellor of Burdwan University

Indira Gandhi awarded the second CEC the Padma Vibhushan

3rd CEC acted neutrally during Congress infighting, so no award for him

4th CEC received the Padma Vibhushan

5th CEC received the Padma Vibhushan for his tenure during the Emergency

7th CEC received the Padma Bhushan and was appointed by Indira Gandhi

Rajiv Gandhi later made him Governor of Gujarat

10th CEC, T. N. Seshan, contested the 1999 Lok Sabha election on a Congress ticket against L. K. Advani from Ahmedabad

11th CEC, M. S. Gill, was a Congress Rajya Sabha member from 2004 to 2016

During Manmohan Singh’s tenure, he served as Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs

12th CEC conducted Youth Congress polls

15th CEC recommended the removal of the sixteenth CEC, Naveen Chawla, 2 month before the 2009 Lok Sabha election, yet Congress appointed him

16 CEC, Naveen Chawla, was flagged by the Shah Commission report, which stated that he was unfit to hold any office

After this controversial appointment, followed by the failures of UPA-2, Congress’s pattern was exposed

Congress always used the post of CEC as a partisan instrument, never as a level playing field.

Post 2014 appointees are not quid pro quo.

Every CEC before Gyanesh Kumar was appointed solely by the Prime Minister. His appointment, involving the opposition for the first time, makes him India’s most democratic CEC.

1. Trust the Pakistanis to make a pigsty even out of the @OxfordUnion. And as always, they are genetically incapable of being truthful. So here's the complete story of how this so-called debate played out.
