A STRONG REMINDER TO @elonmusk AND @X The official X account of @mybmcWardT has remained suspended since 17 October. Despite repeated appeals, there is still no visible action to restore this important civic communication channel. We are increasingly concerned that the T Ward administration may have little urgency to get the account reactivated. Is it because civic activists regularly highlight citizens’ grievances and administrative shortcomings, and an inactive account means fewer questions to answer? An official civic account is not a personal privilege of officials; it is a public communication facility meant to serve citizens. We urge @elonmusk and @X to review the matter and restore the account immediately. We also request the intervention of: @CMOMaharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis @mieknathshinde @AshwiniBhide @mybmc @SDPatil_16 @mihirkotecha The citizens of Mulund deserve an accessible and accountable local administration. Keeping its official communication channel suspended only adds to their difficulties. #Mulund #BMC #CitizenFirst #Accountability
Dear @X and @elonmusk, We respectfully urge you to lift the suspension of @mybmcwardT, the official X account of T Ward, a local administrative ward of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), formerly Bombay Municipal Corporation. Official civic accounts are vital channels for citizens to access information, report grievances and receive updates on essential municipal services. Suspending such an account inconveniences citizens and undermines transparent, responsive governance. Kindly review the suspension urgently, clarify the reason and restore the account in the larger public interest. Please ensure that citizens’ access to official civic communication is not disrupted. @AshwiniBhide @mybmc @mybmcInfra #BMC #Mumbai #DigitalGovernance #PublicInterest

BREAKING 🚨 प्रियंक खड़गे ने अमित शाह को सीधा चैलेंज दे दिया! BJP कह रही है कांग्रेस को विदेशी फंडिंग मिलती है। तो प्रियंक खड़गे ने पूछा: सबूत कहाँ है? उन्होंने कहा, अगर एक कागज़ भी नहीं दिखा पा रहे, तो ये सवाल अमित शाह, जयशंकर और RAW की काबिलियत पर उठता है। IB और RAW आखिर कर क्या रहे हैं? फिर आया असली ऑफ़र: राहुल गांधी ने खुली बहस का न्योता दिया है। बहस इस पर हो कि विदेशी फंडिंग किसे मिल रही है, कांग्रेस को, BJP को या RSS को। मॉडरेटर कौन? खुद मोहन भागवत। सामने देश की जनता और खुला प्रेस। इसके बाद मोदी जी अपने आरोपों का जवाब दें। आरोप लगाना आसान है, सबूत दिखाना मुश्किल 😂🔥

Political differences notwithstanding, I sincerely appreciate the action of Sardar Gurjyot Singh Keer for setting up his temporary firecracker stall within a shop in Swapna Nagari, rather than encroaching upon or occupying our precious pedestrian footpath. Unfortunately, activists of almost every political party have, in one way or another, contributed to blocking our pedestrian footpaths, systematically depriving residents of their rightful walking space. However, I remember our understanding when we shared a dais during his association with the Maha Vikas Aghadi. We both agreed that pedestrian footpaths should not be disturbed or encroached upon. True to those words, Gurjyot Ji, you have demonstrated that political differences need not come in the way of respecting a common civic commitment. Thank you, Gurjyot Ji, for setting a positive example. I sincerely appreciate it! @mieknathshinde @Gurjyotkeer @mybmcwardT @mybmc @Hirwango #PedestrianFirst #SwapnaNagari #MulundWest

To: Hon'ble Chief Minister, @Dev_Fadnavis Deputy Chief Minister,@mieknathshinde BMC Commissioner @AshwiniBhide & Mumbai Police Commissioner @CPMumbaiPolice Almost every crowded location in Mumbai now seems to have temporary firecracker stalls permitted by the BMC. These stalls not only block pedestrian footpaths and create traffic bottlenecks but also pose serious fire and public safety hazards. What emergency arrangements are in place if a firecracker or a rocket accidentally falls on these highly inflammable stalls? Who will be accountable in the event of an accident? Our suggestion: Instead of permitting scattered firecracker stalls on busy roads and pedestrian footpaths, the BMC should identify and allot designated open playgrounds or suitable open spaces as temporary firecracker markets, with adequate fire-safety arrangements and emergency access. This will ensure better crowd management, minimise fire risks, ease traffic congestion and, most importantly, keep our pedestrian footpaths free and walkable. We are sharing photographs showing how these stalls are obstructing pedestrian footpaths. Public safety cannot be compromised, and pedestrian rights cannot be sacrificed for temporary commercial convenience. We urge the authorities to review this policy and take immediate corrective action. @sameerreporter @osamaraval #PedestrianFirst #PublicSafety #FireSafety #Mumbai #BMC

24 घंटे हो गए मोदी जी। मैंने आपको चैलेंज दिया है। आप कहते हो कि opposition देशद्रोही है। किसी भी स्टेज पे आप जगह चुनिए, डिबेट कीजिए मेरे साथ। देशद्रोही कौन है? विदेशी फोर्सेस का कनेक्शन किसका है? और किस प्रकार का कनेक्शन है? जल्दी से जल्दी कीजिए, डरिए मत। दोनों मिलेंगे, मीडिया होगी, देश के युवा होंगे, टेबल होगी, एक साइड आप बैठोगे, एक साइड मैं बैठूंगा। जिसको आप जज बनाना चाहते हो, बना दो। मोहन भागवत जी को बिठा दो, चलो। और फिर डिबेट करते हैं। सवाल उठेंगे फाइनेंशियल सिस्टम पर, फाइनेंशियल स्ट्रक्चर पर, US डील कैसे हुई, क्यों हुई, इतनी जल्दी क्यों हुई, सिर्फ आपने क्यों की, कैबिनेट को क्यों नहीं बताया, अडानी का केस बंद क्यों हुआ, Epstein - ऐसी बहुत सारी चीजें हैं जिसपे खुलकर डिस्कशन होगा। आ जाइए, डरिए मत। दूध का दूध, पानी का पानी कीजिए। आप एलिगेशन लगाते हैं ना मेरे ऊपर, आ जाइए, सब साफ हो जाएगा। बाकी चीजों पे आपने defamation केस लगा रखा है, शायद 45 defamation केस मेरे ऊपर हैं। मगर इस डिबेट मामले पे, foreign कनेक्शन पे आप defamation नहीं लगा रहे हो। लगाइए ना, वहाँ भी डिस्कस करेंगे, खुल के। ये सब डिस्कस करते हैं, आइए। हैप्पी दिवाली, मोदी जी। It’s been 24 hours since I challenged you, Modi ji. You say the Opposition is anti-national. Choose any stage, any venue, and debate me on this - Who is anti-national? Who has connections with foreign forces? And what is the nature of those connections? Let’s do this as soon as possible. Daro mat! We’ll both be there. The media will be there. The youth of this country will be there. There will be a table. You’ll sit on one side, I’ll sit on the other. You can appoint whoever you want as the judge. You can even make Mohan Bhagwat ji the judge. There will be questions about the financial system, the financial structure, how the US deal happened, why it happened and why so quickly, why you made the deal alone and didn’t inform the Cabinet, why the Adani case was closed, Epstein - and many other issues. We’ll discuss all of them openly. Let the truth come out. Let everything be crystal clear. You make allegations against me, don’t you? Come forward. Everything will become clear. You’ve filed defamation cases against me over other matters. I think there are around 45 defamation cases against me. But on this issue of the debate, on the question of foreign connections, you haven’t filed a defamation case. Go ahead, file one. We’ll discuss that openly too. Happy Diwali, Modi ji.

1984 was a crime against the Sikh community, and the Congress carries that guilt. Dr Manmohan Singh apologised for it in Parliament in 2005. The UPA then acted on the Nanavati Commission's recommendations with a ₹714.76 crore rehabilitation package, of which more than ₹534 crore reached the states. Compare that with the Modi government's 2014 package: ₹5 lakh promised (only for the kin of those killed), with an estimated cost of ₹166 crores. Rajnath Singh handed out 17 cheques in Tilak Vihar, and the rest were left waiting on "verification". Later, the BJP's own chairman of the National Commission for Minorities claimed that "no government can pay full compensation to all victims." Twelve years into this government, he also conceded that none of the 944 families resettled in Tilak Vihar have ownership rights, and ₹13 crore in power dues still hangs over them. In 2022, BJP MP Parvesh Verma told the Lok Sabha that the jobs promised to victims' children had never been delivered. The ₹5,000 pension for widows, promised in the 2025 Delhi election, is still awaited. Job letters come out in batches of 19 and 36, always handed out by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta in front of cameras. Today the BJP marches through the same neighbourhoods it has left waiting for over a decade. The farcical counter-march is an insult to the legacy of 1984. Reducing the grief of those who lost their loved ones to a political stunt trivialises one of the darkest chapters in our history.

Dear Comrades, Why did Modi Regime sell IDBI, a PROFIT MAKING PSU bank❓ 💰 Net Profit FY26 - ₹9,513 crore 💰 Tax paid FY26 - ₹2,413 crore. 💰 Net Interest Income FY26 - ₹13,512 crore ⚠️ Total amount lost to wilful defaulters - ₹25,433 crore, of which, the top 15 wilful defaulters (ABG Shipyard Ltd., Amtek Auto Ltd., Bhushan Power and Steel Ltd., Punj Loyd Ltd., Deewan Housing Finance Corp. Ltd., Gitanjali Gems Ltd. etc.) for ₹12,631 crore. ❓Related-party transactions, forensic audits showing diversions, IBC resolutions with large HAIRCUTS, and parallel criminal probes (CBI/ED), property attachments etc is reported in the Media, but nothing recovered thus far. ❓Why should the people’s Bank pay the price of handful of financial criminals, fugitives and ineffectiveness of the government agencies in recovering or making good the Bank’s losses❓ If this deal is not annulled, Modi Regime will repeat the suit in case of other PSUs. Aren’t we already seeing the evil effects of absence of Government operator in Aviation sector and players rendered incompetent, ineffective, in Telecom sector❓ 🆘 WAKE UP, MODI REGIME IS SELLING THE NATION❗️✊🏽

Questions on #IDBI sale need answers ! IDBI was made profitable. By public funding. IDBI profits are at Rs 9500 crore. Per year. Approximately. That’s huge. Why not sell minority ownership? Why controlling shares? Why not in tranches? So who should control the levers of negotiation for a successful bank? Obviously, the government. But it allowed Fairfax the arrogance and audacity to write that if asked to rebid, it would walk away. The buyer gave us a cocky attitude, and had the last laugh. The government simply folded. Not 56” at all. And to justify a below-reserve price, a note quotes the Railway Stores Code, the rule for auctioning scrap. A bank earning ₹9,500 crore a year was sold under rules meant for railway scrap. How does that make sense? Source: Business World Rahul Gandhi is right. Like Tatas Bombay House under threat from Delhi Darbar, we have an issue here. Transparency and full disclosure are needed. @INCIndia @Jairam_Ramesh @BWBusinessworld

A LEADER WHO LISTENS, REMEMBERS AND STANDS BY HIS WORDS! ✊🇮🇳 Proud of my leader, Shri @RahulGandhi, for standing firmly with IDBI Bank employees and officers against the proposed privatisation of this vital public institution. During my walk with Rahul Ji on 17 September 2023 at Patur, near Balapur in Buldhana, Maharashtra, the moment he learnt that I was a banker, he immediately asked me about the issues faced by bank employees and officers. He encouraged me to come to Delhi and apprise him of our concerns. Today, his support for IDBIans makes that personal interaction even more meaningful. He has stood by his commitment! IDBI’s employees transformed a struggling institution into a profitable bank. Why should the fruits of their hard work be handed over to private ownership? A bank built with public money must remain accountable to the public. This is not merely a question of ownership. It concerns employees’ service conditions, social justice, reservations, depositors’ confidence and the future of public sector banking in India. As a banker with 38 years of service, I salute Rahul Ji for standing with the workforce and defending the principle that public sector banks are instruments of nation-building, not assets to be sold off at will. The fight for IDBIans is a fight for the dignity of bank employees and the public interest. Thank you, Rahul Ji, for listening then and standing with them today. Your solidarity matters! #SaveIDBI #IDBIans #PublicSectorBanks #BankersVoice #RahulGandhi

પ્રતિ, @DGVCL_Official સાહેબ, અમારા સરદાર હાઈટ્સ તિથલ રોડ વલસાડ વિસ્તારમાં છેલ્લા 30 મિનિટથી વીજ પુરવઠો ખોરવાયો છે, પરંતુ DGVCL તરફથી કોઈ SMS કે પૂર્વ સૂચના પ્રાપ્ત થઈ નથી. સામાન્ય રીતે વીજ પુરવઠાના આયોજિત શટડાઉન કે જાળવણી અંગે SMS દ્વારા જાણ કરવામાં આવે છે. તો પછી આ વખતે વીજળી ગુલ થવાનું કારણ શું છે? અને પુરવઠો ક્યારે પુનઃસ્થાપિત થશે? ગ્રાહકોને સમયસર માહિતી આપવી એ પણ જવાબદાર વીજ વિતરણ સેવાનો એક ભાગ છે. કૃપા કરીને તાત્કાલિક સ્થિતિ સ્પષ્ટ કરી વીજ પુરવઠો પુનઃસ્થાપિત કરવા વિનંતી. #DGVCL #PowerFailure #ConsumerService

A gentle reminder to @X and @elonmusk to kindly review and lift the suspension of @mybmcWardT, the official X account of BMC’s T Ward. It is we, the civic activists of Mulund, who are facing difficulties in raising local civic issues and seeking updates through this important channel. Unfortunately, there appears to be little visible progress towards restoring the account. I am tagging fellow Mulund civic activists who regularly highlight citizens’ grievances, in the hope that our collective appeal will receive attention. 🙏 Kindly restore this official civic communication channel in the larger public interest. Citizens should not suffer due to the absence of an essential channel of communication with their local administration. @jskeshriya @DrishikB @xyz_chat @uken91 @SpeakOut16 @Bhaktimargvoice @PGANewsMumbai @shulabhjain @meesagardevre @thakker_nirmal @doshi_naresh @kaushikdthakkar @AnilGalgaliRTI @goldysh65920213 @VasantBhanusha1 @MehulThakkar @djsonispeaks @NeilSomaiya @Prabhakarsbjp @morvekarHetal @RajoolP @TawdeRitu @AshrafAzmiMH @sameerreporter @writemeenal @richapintoi @osamarawal #BMC #Mulund #CitizenFirst #CivicIssues
Dear @X and @elonmusk, We respectfully urge you to lift the suspension of @mybmcwardT, the official X account of T Ward, a local administrative ward of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), formerly Bombay Municipal Corporation. Official civic accounts are vital channels for citizens to access information, report grievances and receive updates on essential municipal services. Suspending such an account inconveniences citizens and undermines transparent, responsive governance. Kindly review the suspension urgently, clarify the reason and restore the account in the larger public interest. Please ensure that citizens’ access to official civic communication is not disrupted. @AshwiniBhide @mybmc @mybmcInfra #BMC #Mumbai #DigitalGovernance #PublicInterest

मा. महापालिका आयुक्त महोदया @mybmc, स्वप्न नगरी, मुलुंड पश्चिम येथील BMC च्या सरदार प्रतापसिंह गार्डनमधील Children’s Skating Rink च्या नामफलकाचे आधीचे व काढल्यानंतरचे २ जिओटॅग केलेले फोटो जोडले आहेत. जुना, गंजलेला फलक बदलण्यास आमचा विरोध नाही. मात्र, नवीन फलकावर फक्त “SKATING RINK” असेच नमूद असावे. स्केटिंगव्यतिरिक्त अन्य वापरासाठी ही सुविधा वळविण्याची आम्हाला भीती आहे. १९९३ पासून HIRWA ने या उद्यानासाठी अथक प्रयत्न केले आहेत. या सुविधेचा मूळ उद्देश बदलण्याचा कोणताही प्रयत्न आम्ही ठामपणे विरोध करू. कृपया संबंधित अधिकाऱ्यांना योग्य निर्देश देऊन ही सुविधा मुलांच्या स्केटिंगसाठीच राखून ठेवावी. @mybmcTward @AshrafAazmiMH @kishoripednekar @VarshaEGaikwad @Bhaijagtap1 @CharansSapra #HIRWA #Mulund #ChildrenFirst #SavePublicSpaces
Replying to @AshwiniBhide
@AshwiniBhide @mybmc From fighting for the rightful relocation of the Christian Cemetery reservation in 1994–95—with HIRWA and Malabar Hill Welfare Association meeting Shri Balasaheb Thackeray, who directed a joint hearing—to developing Sardar Pratap Singh Garden with multiple public amenities, HIRWA’s decades of efforts are documented. Yet today, the specially developed SKATING RING meant for children is being occupied by an RSS shakha for lathi training! On Sunday, children wearing skating shoes stood helplessly at the corner, denied their own facility. Is this how a PUBLIC AMENITY is to be used? BMC Commissioner must intervene immediately and restore the skating ring to CHILDREN—not organisational activities. @Dev_Fadnavis @mieknathshinde @AUThackeray @VarshaEGaikwad @KishoriPednekar @sdpatil_16 @mybmcwardt @mybmcinfra #SardarPratapSinghGarden #Mulund #BMC #ChildrenFirst #PublicAmenity
