Two parties -@ysjagan’s @YSRCParty from Andhra and Naveen Patnaik’s @bjd_odisha from Odisha stood by @BJP4India & helped it pass controversial and problematic bills - today Jagan’s party is being decimated by BJP ally @JaiTDP & @Naveen_Odisha’s party by ‘swayam’ BJP.
Politics
10 years of relentless effort, using money, governmental muscle, and captive media, to create a Congress-mukt Bharat. And where are we? Almost 1/3rd of the BJP is Congressmen in saffron, and the actual Congress rose like the proverbial phoenix from those ashes. 🤷♂️
i think i should learn something from Rahul Gandhi bc imagine getting trolled for 10 years straight and not giving up? I cry when I receive one negative feedback but this dude? god bless him and his self esteem

India, the country, is bigger than any political party or leader or grouping. Often forgotten in the hype over individuals.
let us not forget
the opposition was fighting this election with one hand tied behind their back, both legs chained to the ground inside a deep dark hole, with a sack over their heads.
they literally crawled out with one hand.
This is absolutely amazing for how bills will be passed in Lok Sabha. There's going to be no party with clear majority. All bills will have to be discussed and deliberated on. As they should.
The Opposition's result is not because of the media, it is despite the media. They have fought fake news, bank account freezing, arrests, complete distrust, ego battles to come and stay together. 💪

1/ More than a decade ago, India's "Coalgate" scandal shook the nation, revealing the unfair allocation of coal blocks to private companies by the UPA government. The CAG estimated a notional loss of Rs. 1.86 lakh crore to the exchequer.
Irrespective of the outcome, the more transformed leader of this campaign was Rahul Gandhi. Think of this — not even his most bitter or churlish rivals brought up the “Pappu” label in 2024. Very often,he and the Congress lead the poll narrative, forcing the Modi camp to respond.

#journalism is not just about covering facts as they are. That is a big misconception. Its purpose is to awaken the consciousness and the conscience of people by viewing facts through a moral compass. This is not a bias but a prism of values that determines desirable biases

In 1948, when the state of Israel was declared, it was an Arab-Israel crisis. Today, the Palestine question is a Palestine-Israel problem. Arab countries have declared solidarity with Palestinians, but none of them want to compromise their particular interests over Palestine.
