Extremely poor from President Musk, who ensured BYD didn’t enter the US for fear of his Tesla sales crumbling . And here making an issue out of our right for national security. A great entrepreneur but a v bitter man. Earlier went after Trump claiming his name is in Epstein files only to calm down later to ensure his business doesn’t suffer. Lol Musk.

Absolutely shockingly silly.

[Mohandas Pai @TVMohandasPai]

This is a big bad joke. Make fake allegations. When the truth comes out say that the fake allegations are justified because there is a clarification exposing the fake allegations. What a big Sham. These journalists are Masters of fake allegations, activists, not journalists. @Iyervval All EC members had signed off on all decisions taken till the fake allegations were made by this journalist. Now this journalists says that This fact of unanimous decisions so far justifies their allegation. What logic is this. Pure propaganda by vested interests.

Very very silly statement. @virsanghvi have you read the 14 points ? Staff matters, minutes matters, travel matters included! Ok get into details before you tweet.

This is a clear Hit jobs. By @RitikaChopra__

14 points of dissent- see the dissent for yourself and see which you consider serious.
No data how many decisions were taken in 10 months- how many had dissent or no dissent except these 14.
No data on what happened after this dissent.
All decision of EC taken unanimously No member has stated his dissent on the final decision.
No member has resigned because of dissent. All members are equal under law and protected but nobody has resigned.
This means that the critical non trivial matter with dissent was settled before final orders. All agreed.
So this Hit job and half truth worries you? Please get into details, apply your mind.
SIR was conducted by 20l BLO’s all over India. Can they all manipulate?
As for tech the 97 in Goa had a peculiar issue which the system could not fix.
The 13 cr includes dead, doubles, shifted. Should this not be removed?
How many after appeals were shut out? Any no?
SC says that election can go on in Bengal while appeals were heard. SC decision. Blame EC?

Please decide for your self on verifiable facts not Hit job or conjecture. @Iyervval

Where is any wrong doing in elections? Did you hear of this in TN/ Kerala? Why not? There was SIR too. The same SIR, same process

[Mohandas Pai @TVMohandasPai]

Stuck off 13 cr names?

How many of them were dead? Should they not be removed?
How many were double registered? Should they not be removed?
How many had left their residence on visit? Should they not be removed?

@RitikaChopra__ please give these details too to state how many you believe were wrongly removed, were they 13 cr? As a Journalist you need to be honest not push fake narratives.
We need to discuss the issue of wrongful removal, if any, of the correct nos not this gross exaggeration.
Is this honest journalism!?

The Bihar and Bengal rolls were under SC approval. Is the SC wrong? Are you above the SC and a Law to all of us?

This kind of fake narrative is shocking.

@dhume is this good journalism? Will you do this kind of journalism?
She says 14 matters over 10 months had dissent. But does not say how many matters were discussed and decided over 10 months? 50? 100?

All matters decided and issued were unanimous with no dissent. So were these not resolved?
No dissent added or majority vote decided for any matter. What does this show?
No member resigned because his dissent was noted and that means all agreed.
Is this kind of fake narrative Good journalism ? Will you do this kind of journalism? Sadanand please
Answer. Are you part of this cabal?

@Iyervval @shantanug_

Look as citizens we are fully interested in our democracy and will fight for it but this kind of fake n attitudes, Hit Jobs should be challenged and exposed. We need the Truth not lies and fakes.

[Mohandas Pai @TVMohandasPai]

This is a Hit job. If they dissented then why was there no dissent attached to the final Order? Why did they vote unanimously for the final order? If they were pushed around why did not even one of them resign?
This is a grossly exaggerated Hit Job prima facie.
Supreme court judgements have some judges dissenting. It is carried by majority. Parliament votes by majority. Here all 3 are party to the final order with no visible dissent.
So what is this article all about? A Hit job.

[Rishi Bagree @rishibagree]

Have you noticed that they are not seeking re-election in TN, Kerala, Karnataka, Himachal & Jharkhand?

[Rishi Bagree @rishibagree]

In June 2024, @Jairam_Ramesh claimed that HM Amit Shah had personally called 150 DMs/Collectors to manipulate election results.

The Election Commission gave him a week to produce evidence. More than two years later, he still hasn’t named a single officer or shared any proof. That claim was a reckless lie designed to sow doubt and unrest.

Delegitimising elections is a classic regime-change tactic by the deep state. The same opposition that alleged EVMs can be rigged never showed up when ECI invited them to demonstrate it. They attacked the electoral rolls but refused to support the SIR revision meant to clean them. After winning in Kerala and Tamil Nadu under the same revised rolls, they conveniently stopped talking.
Stay alert; they will go to any lengths to manufacture confusion.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Seven years ago, on this day, Articles 370 and 35(A) became history, marking a decisive new chapter in the journey of Jammu and Kashmir as well as Ladakh.

Since then, the lives of the people of J&K and Ladakh have witnessed wide-ranging transformation. Infrastructure has expanded, opportunities in areas such as education, healthcare, entrepreneurship and sports have grown. Be it the women or the marginalised communities, those who were denied their basic constitutional rights for decades have been empowered thanks to the full application of the Constitution of India.

5th August this year assumes even greater significance as this is the year our nation commemorates the 125th birth anniversary of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee. His lifelong commitment to national unity continues to inspire generations. What he envisioned decades ago found historic fulfilment on 5th August 2019.

We reaffirm our commitment to the progress of Jammu and Kashmir as well as Ladakh and to ensure that every citizen has the opportunity to dream big, achieve and contribute to the making of a Viksit Bharat.

Shri Dharmendra Pradhan is one of the finest public servants I know. He cares deeply about the youth of this nation, and particularly about rural students. We have had many discussions on how to better skill our rural youth.

I am sad to see him resign. He has put the nation above self, and my respect for him is even greater now.

Thank you for your service Pradhan-ji, please keep fighting the good fight 🙏

[Sonam Mahajan @AsYouNotWish]

The easiest thing in India today is to pick a side. The harder thing is to look at the full picture.

Let’s start with what shouldn’t be controversial. Students were absolutely justified in demanding accountability after the NEET controversy. When the credibility of a national examination is questioned, anger is inevitable. Peaceful protest is not only legitimate; it becomes necessary.

The allegations of police excesses also deserve to be taken seriously. Videos of women protesters being manhandled cannot simply be wished away. If there was disproportionate force, there must be accountability.

But there is another part of this story that is not making into the social media narrative.

The claim that the government did nothing. This simply doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

The Anti-Paper Leak Act, 2024 introduced some of the toughest punishments for organised exam fraud. The NTA’s leadership was reshuffled. The probe was handed over to the CBI. A committee headed by former ISRO Chairman K. Radhakrishnan was constituted to recommend structural reforms. The government also announced a gradual shift towards computer-based testing, tightened security around examinations, and ensured that affected candidates could appear for a re-test without paying another fee.

You may argue these measures came late. You may argue they are insufficient. That’s a fair debate. But it is inaccurate to suggest that no institutional response followed.

There is another uncomfortable truth.

Every student movement eventually attracts people whose interests go beyond students. That isn’t unique to this protest. It is how politics works.

But when slogans move from exam reforms to Article 370, caste politics or other ideological battles, students should ask themselves a simple question: does this strengthen our cause or dilute it?

Social media is not particularly good at making that distinction. It rewards outrage far more readily than context. Many of the most influential voices around any protest are political actors first and student representatives second. That does not make them wrong. But it does make them worth questioning.

The same applies to violence.

Allegations of police brutality cannot be ignored. Neither can evidence of protesters assaulting police personnel. Neither helps establish the facts. Both become part of the political contest that follows.

The examination system undoubtedly needs deeper reform. Few would dispute that. The more interesting question is whether the debate will remain about examinations for much longer. Indian politics has rarely allowed that to happen.

I am always surprised when someone asks, “What exactly has Modi done?”

Then I begin listing the accomplishments, and the mood invariably shifts.

I’ve never understood this collective short-term memory loss. It isn’t just puzzling - it can be fatal for both the nation and its people.

So today I decided to look at just one area: education.
Specifically, the institutions established since 2014.

Too often, we form our opinions on hearsay, emotion and sentiment rather than evidence. So let’s look at the numbers. They may well challenge what you think you know.
