This fake history historian Irfan Habib is fully exposed.
Supreme Court’s Babri Masjid verdict was “totally illegitimate” from a historian's point of view, says historian Irfan Habib in a conversation with @dksingh73 and @MandhaniApoorva.

For those with long memories Meira Kumar was one of India’s worst Speakers. Ever.
A dynast too.
#WATCH | Delhi: At the INDIA bloc's symbolic public impeachment program against CEC Gyanesh Kumar, Former Lok Sabha Speaker and Congress leader Meira Kumar says, "...It has been decided that the INDIA bloc will convene a meeting to bring forward an impeachment motion to remove Gyanesh Kumar from his position. This impeachment motion will be moved in the Rajya Sabha by the Leader of the Opposition, Mallikarjun Kharge, who will subsequently deliver a statement...Ours is the largest democracy in the world. Nations across the globe, in Asia, Africa, and South America, look up to us and follow our model of democracy. Our democracy is driven by the power of elections, and at the heart of this electoral power lies the soul of the voter. The voter is the focal point of the entire electoral process. If even a single voter is denied the right to cast their vote, it strikes a blow to the very soul of our democracy. Preventing someone from voting inflicts harm upon our democracy."

Karnataka had a surplus budget 4 years ago under a BJP govt. One of the richest states in India with highest per capita income among the larger states.
Then Congress promised freebies.
And this is what happened in 3.5 years. A huge deficit budget and prices hiked everywhere!

Dr C.V. Raman (someone who set very high standards of excellence) described him as "the modern equivalent of Leonardo da Vinci"
He is the founding director of TIFR and is known as the "Father of the Indian nuclear programme". Our nuclear program was his baby.
Respects to Dr Homi Jehangir Bhabha on his birth annv (30th Oct 1909).
The Atomic Energy Establishment at Mumbai was renamed as the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) as our tribute to him.
His uncle Sir Dorabji Tata played a role in him, developing an interest in science.

ऊपर बताए गए लोगों के #बच्चे CJP मूवमेंट में शामिल नहीं है... लेकिन देश के आम लोगों के बच्चे #सडकों पर उतरते है... कानून तोडते है... केस करते है... अपनी #जिंदगियां बर्बाद करते है...
#जागरूक बनें, समझदार बनें, देश के जिम्मेदार नागरिक बनें, सोच-समझकर फैसले लें...
कुछ #पॉलिटिकल लीडर्स, एक्टर्स, जर्नलिस्ट्स और सोशल सेक्टर के लोगों के परिवारों के बच्चों के बारे में जानकारी देकर एक सवाल उठाया जा रहा है।
लेकिन, किसके बच्चे किसी #मूवमेंट में शामिल हैं या नहीं, इससे भी ज्यादा जरूरी सवाल है हमारे बच्चों का भविष्य, उनकी पढाई, करियर और सुरक्षा...
#देश में आम परिवारों के युवा अक्सर मूवमेंट में हिस्सा लेते हैं... कई बार उन पर #क्राइम फाइल हो जाती हैं, लीगल प्रॉब्लम खडी हो जाती हैं और उनकी पढाई और #भविष्य पर असर पड सकता है।
इसलिए, किसी भी #मूवमेंट में हिस्सा लेने से पहले खुद से कुछ सवाल पूछें......
🔹 क्या आपको उस #मुद्दे के बारे में पूरी जानकारी है जिसके लिए आप सडकों पर उतर रहे हैं?
🔹 आपके कामों के कानूनी नतीजे क्या हो सकते हैं?
🔹 हमारे फैसले का हमारे परिवार और भविष्य पर क्या असर पडेगा?
🔹 क्या हम इमोशन में फैसले ले रहे हैं या सोच-समझकर?
डेमोक्रेसी में, विरोध करने और अपनी राय बताने का अधिकार जरूरी है; लेकिन कानून का सम्मान, शांतिपूर्ण तरीके से और अपनी जिम्मेदारी भी उतनी ही जरूरी है...
अपने बच्चों को सिर्फ किसी के विचारों का फॉलोअर न बनाएं; उन्हें आजाद सोचने वाला, सच जांचने वाला और देश का जिम्मेदार नागरिक बनाएं...
🇮🇳 देश के हितों की रक्षा करें, डेमोक्रेसी का सम्मान करें और अपने अच्छे भविष्य का ध्यान रखें! 🇮🇳

The World Bank’s October 2026 Poverty & Equity Brief records India’s progress as one of the fastest poverty declines in the world.
The report highlights several significant gains:
✅ 49.6 crore people moved above the lower-middle-income poverty line of $4.20 a day between 2011 and 2023, with the poverty rate declining from 57.7% to 16.1%.
✅ Extreme poverty declined from 27.1% to 2.6% over the same period, measured at $3 a day. Both monetary poverty thresholds use 2021 purchasing power parity.
✅ Employment increased by 13.4 crore people between 2017 and 2023, nearly twice the increase in the working-age population.
✅ Rural women accounted for much of the employment gain, entering paid work and increasing the number of earners in their households.
✅ Both rural and urban households experienced substantial welfare gains, with faster progress in rural India narrowing the rural–urban gap.
✅ Access to electricity reached 99% of the population, according to the report’s 2022 survey data.
The World Bank identifies strong consumption growth, rising employment - especially among women—and expanded social transfers, including food subsidies, as major drivers.
Under the leadership of Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi, the Government’s sustained policy efforts are yielding tangible results, strengthening the foundations for inclusive growth and greater economic opportunity. This is the reason why NDA govt wins people’s trust and mandate of our citizens.
We remain committed to building on this progress through productive employment, stronger household incomes and effective delivery of public services, so that aspirations of our people are met.

Rahul Gandhi drops the last letter from the name of Hon’ble Finance Minister Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman.
Now Congress says this is a new style of getting attention on X.
Should we also start dropping the last alphabet from both ‘Rahul’ and ‘Gandhi’ just to get attention?
A little unsolicited advice to Congress: Fight us on the ground, through both the ballot and the EVM, not through attention seeking tricks on social media.

हम सभी जानते हैं कि कैसे @INCIndia ने बैंकों और वित्तीय संस्थानों का इस्तेमाल अपनी निजी संस्थाओं के रूप में किया है और विवेकपूर्ण ऋण मानदंडों को दरकिनार करते हुए बैंक कर्मचारियों पर अपनी इच्छा के अनुसार ऋण देने का दबाव डाला है।
मैं कुछ उदाहरण गिनती हूँ।
* 1957 में, कांग्रेस नेताओं के प्रभाव के कारण हरिदास मूंदड़ा को LIC से पैसा मिला।
* 1976 में, इंदिरा गांधी की सरकार ने SBI के अध्यक्ष आर.के. तलवार को तब हटा दिया, जब उन्होंने संजय गांधी के करीबी से जुड़ी एक कंपनी के लिए ऋण शर्तों में ढील देने के राजनीतिक दबाव को मानने से इनकार कर दिया था।
* मारुति को दिए जाने वाले ऋणों को लेकर संजय गांधी ने सेंट्रल बैंक ऑफ इंडिया पर दबाव डाला।
* इंदिरा गांधी और राजीव गांधी के कार्यकाल में वित्त राज्य मंत्री रहे बी. जनार्दन पुजारी ने 1980 के दशक में बैंक कर्मचारियों पर ऋण जारी करने का दबाव डाला।
* यूपीए (UPA) में एक मंत्री के रूप में, पवन कुमार बंसल ने अपने परिवार से जुड़े व्यवसायों को ऋण देने के लिए केनरा बैंक पर दबाव डाला।
IDBI बैंक हमें खस्ताहाल स्थिति में सौंपा गया था, क्योंकि IDBI को स्वयं @INCIndia के नेताओं से घनिष्ठ संबंध रखने वाले बड़े व्यापारिक समूहों जैसे कि वीडियोकॉन, विनसम, एबीजी शिपयार्ड, किंगफिशर आदि को ऋण देने के लिए मजबूर किया गया था। ये "बैड लोन" में बदल गए, जिससे IDBI बैंक को भारी नुकसान हुआ, जिसे हमने पहचाना।
माननीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi के नेतृत्व वाली एनडीए (NDA) सरकार ने व्यावसायिकता, विवेक और 25,000 करोड़ रुपये से अधिक के पुनर्पूंजीकरण के माध्यम से IDBI बैंक को पुनर्जीवित किया। IDBI बैंक अब अपने विकास के अगले चरण के लिए तैयार है।
IDBI बैंक के रणनीतिक पुनर्गठन में सभी उचित प्रक्रियाओं का पालन किया गया है और हमने कल ही इसे स्पष्ट कर दिया था।

फरवरी 2024 में जारी भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था पर श्वेत पत्र (White Paper) में खुलेआम हुए घोटालों और आर्थिक कुप्रबंधन के कई और उदाहरणों को शामिल किया गया है। यह अब भी प्रासंगिक है।
यहाँ पढ़ें: bsmedia.business-standard.co…
राफेल के संबंध में आपके झूठ विफल और बेनकाब हुए थे। आपको माफी मांगनी पड़ी थी। यहाँ भी वैसा ही होगा।
कांग्रेस-युग की बैंकिंग में ताकतवर लोगों के लिए फोनबुक और आम नागरिकों के लिए नियम-बुक होती थी।
'कनेक्शन और सेटिंग वाली बैंकिंग' का युग अब समाप्त हो गया है।
आम लोगों की अब ऋण तक आसान पहुंच है और कर्मचारियों पर फोन कॉल पर ऋण देने का दबाव नहीं है।
We all know how @INCIndia has used Banks and financial institutions as personal entities and pressured bank employees to extend loans at their whim, bypassing prudent lending norms.
Let me list a few instances.
- In 1957, Haridas Mundra got money from LIC due to influence by the Congress leaders.
- In 1976, Indira Gandhi's government removed SBI Chairman R.K. Talwar after he refused political pressure to relax lending conditions for a company linked to Sanjay Gandhi's circle.
- Sanjay Gandhi pressured the Central Bank of India over loans to Maruti.
- B. Janardhana Poojary, MoS Finance under Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi — pressured bank employees to issue loans in the 1980s.
- Pawan Kumar Bansal, as a minister in the UPA, pressured Canara Bank to give loans to his family-linked businesses.
The IDBI Bank was handed over to us in poor shape, as IDBI itself was forced to lend to large business groups with close connections to @INCIndia leaders such as Videocon, Winsome, ABG Shipyard, Kingfisher, etc. These turned into bad loans, causing huge losses for IDBI Bank, which we recognised.
The NDA govt led by Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi revived the IDBI bank through professionalism, prudence and recapitalisation of more than Rs 25,000 crores. The IDBI Bank is now poised for its next phase of growth.
All due process has been followed in the IDBI Bank strategic restructuring, and we have already clarified this yesterday.

Your lies with respect to Rafale had failed and were exposed. You had to apologise. The same will happen here.
Congress-era banking had a phonebook for the powerful and a rulebook for the common citizens.
The era of 'connection and setting banking' is over.
Common people now have easy access to loans, and employees are not under pressure to extend loans over the phone calls.

Shri Priyank Kharge avare,
As a Home Minister, you've seized control of the state's administration. Your brain, tongue, wisdom, and work - all have slipped and strayed off course. Please get yourself treated first.
I understand the meaning of my words. You don't grasp the flow of yours. You're always hunting for one or other target a day. One day #RSS, another day #SIR, then Kumaraswamy.. If no one turns up, you target yourself.
An overactive mouth gone beyond limits, the endless frenzy of propaganda..That massive delusion of calling Father #AICC president; these things are tossing you around like 'thak thai thak thai'.
I have information that your eyes are on me. But you know it was I who ruined your sleep. Remember how the KPSC uproar was? I won't let that pit fester untouched. Shame... You see virtue in abusing others! Looks like you are suffering from an identity crisis!
I know that because your father is All India President in this foolish Congress, you're burning and shivering like a firecracker everywhere, in every way, your party's ministers and legislators know it very well.
You went to watch the fun at the brink and ended up spilling hot water on your beard, Mr. Kharge.. Don't go seeking protection in Shri Siddaramaiah avaru's name. Your Chief Minister, your father, and you; all three together put a cap on Shri Rahul Gandhi and yanked the chair from under Shri Siddaramaiah avaru. This is the conspiracy hatched for high command and local command squabbles!
You always issue statements based on half-baked info. You are also openly defending those who are involved the sting operation. Why, Mr. Kharge..? Is the Stingpin your own invention? Sting Samrat + Stingpin + Stingpin Protector = Samrat Sting Trinity Confluence!!
What did Shri Siddaramaiah avaru say when you met him recently? Did he speak or brush you off? I have info that the 'grand aarti' went off very well, is it true? Do you have the ethics and courage to say it openly?
I went to USA to attend Akka conference. It was not a fun tour. Perhaps, for you Congress folk who only know how to perform miracles at Kannada conferences. Don't try to transfer such skill to someone else. Don't show your arrogance of insulting Kannada either.
Mr. Priyank Kharge avare, I know, you are caught in the sting web, as a master of this conspiracy. I know how much pressure there's on you as a Sting Samrat. No need for diversionary tactics now. Mr. Home Minister.. now you need not talk on dignity or honor. Brazenly you have identified yourself with sting operators.
In the entire episode, as a Home Minister, you have totally exposed yourself. Time will tell everything.

Being the LoP @RahulGandhi, I suggest you refrain from politicising every issue. Also, casually labelling commercial and legal matters as criminal is unacceptable.
You have repeatedly decried the successes of Indian industry & our entrepreneurs. Now, are you trying to incite our business leaders to join you in spreading distrust & toxicity?
For decades, your party had smothered the spirit of the Indian entrepreneurs under the stifling ‘Licence-Quota Raj’ & inflicted poverty on crores of Indians.
On the other hand, our government led by PM @narendramodi values the Indian industry as job creators & drivers of economic growth. Our policies have been tailored to enable enterprise, support industry and encourage investment.
Political parties, leaders, governments and institutions share an equal responsibility to support our industry, strengthen our farmers and secure the future of our youth.
Therefore, it is essential to engage constructively rather than casting baseless aspersions to suit your narrow political motives.
The Constitution of India ensures justice to all its citizens & our Honourable Courts are entrusted with upholding it. History is witness to the shoddy manner in which you, your party and the PMs belonging to your party have demeaned the judiciary.
So Rahul ji, refrain from seeing ghosts everywhere.
