Aayein? Can somebody explain this to me? Google says during 2009-10 the total EV sales across globe was below 10,000 units. So, who exactly sold these 1,50,000 electric vehicles in India during that year? Did you see any electric vehicles back in 2009? Also, how's this a point against Congress/UPA? Even Elon Musk's Tesla had barely begun to manufacture EVs back then! Then how exactly was India supposed to have EVs back then?

Nirmala Sitharaman ma'am is overhated on this platform and is being made a scapegoat. Do you really believe she has autonomy over any of the disastrous FinMin policy decisions made in Amritkaal?

BJP has three faces: The first face is what it sells to gullible Hindus. "We are in a civilizational battle against [them]. ModiJi is Avatarpurush who will save you if you vote for them." Propaganda. The second face is the policies it implements while in govt. Hisab chukta plus cronyism. The third face that something nobody talks about, is the unprecedented level of corruption that they are doing to get funds to purchase MP/MLAs, do propaganda, control institutions and enrich themselves. They are truly secular here, as they do not care about your religion or caste as long as you are useful to them in their only goal to retain power.
I had deleted my tweet on @iamyusufpathan land sale by @BJP4Gujarat Vadodara waiting for solid evidence. Here it is directly from Horse's mouth. 500sqmt land free. 478 sqmt at 45% discount on current market rate. Why? What's the logic of this melting of heart? What will he offer? Many Gujarati Muslims have healthy respect for BJP. He brings nothing to table except ridicule & self hurt Request @NitinNabin to look into this matter.

If Vivek Ramaswamy tried this, his "base" will slow roast him over coals before feeding him to cannibals. Mamdani's base doesn't care - it's a large, inclusive tent. Which is why a Mamdani is a FAR better ally of American Hindus than a Ramaswamy.
This week, I was blessed to join Hindu New Yorkers in Queens celebrating Navratri, Durga Puja, Dashain, and Vijayadashami.ย  We danced garba, performed aarti, witnessed Sindoor Khela, and honored the Goddess Durga. It was an honor to come together in joy, faith, and community in temples across our city โ€” especially after the attempted mass shooting at a Hindu temple in Illinois last week. May we all join together in our shared responsibility to stand against hate and care for one another. Jai Mata Ki.

What is the need of bringing caste-wise subsidy for solar energy? Is there a political demand for this? Is this a mandatory legislative requirement? Then, why exactly?

I understand the sentiment, but let's not pretend. Writ petitions are routinely dismissed on the ground of alternative efficacious remedy, particularly a statutory appeal. Across High Courts.
Earlier writ courts: oh this order is perverse Iโ€™ll quash it and write paragraphs against the author rights are to be protected by my court i have such wide powers which Iโ€™ll use Writ courts now: oh so what your fundamental rights are violated go file appeal before the same guy

Could Vivek Ramaswamy publicly celebrate a Hindu festival and hope to be accepted by MAGA? I think we all know the answer.

Unfortunate development. GIFT City is an idea whose time has come. And given its special incentives the city can thrive - even if slowly. But it must contain the bureaucratic damage before the market halts the engine.
In their quest for Tax at any cost Indian Babus and @FinMinIndia will destroy any good initiative Sachin in a good friend and was excited about the Gift City move and infact had moved some family also to Ahmedabad. Now they will again relocate to other jurisdictions

Disturbing to see the mindset of several infrastructure enthusiasts. In their worldview any infrastructure is good infrastructure. Unfortunately there is no free lunch. Every infrastructure has to be paid for: directly or indirectly. Thatโ€™s why they must be planned right

Honored to join @SecRubio at @RIL_Updates Jamnagar facilities. Over the past year, Indiaโ€™s imports of U.S. LPG have surged from under 10% to 67%, making the United States Indiaโ€™s largest LPG supplier. Relianceโ€™s planned investment in the first new U.S. oil refinery in 50 years is another major opportunity to expand American energy production and create jobs.

The karyakarta is kept on a steady drip of civilisation churan. Every municipal poll is the Third Battle of Panipat. Meanwhile party bosses cut deals shamelessly with anyone who can help them stay one more second in power. No wonder every crook has been rehabilitated and every corruption case has been compromised.
