As the Delhi Assembly elections heat up, the usual players are at it again. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is clinging to its welfare-centric model, bolstered by Kejriwal’s charisma and populist promises. The BJP, meanwhile, pushes its ‘Parivartan Yatra,’ hammering on AAP’s governance failures. Congress, on the other hand, has made a half-hearted entry, struggling to stay relevant with its ‘Dilli Nyay Yatra.’ Yet, amidst this routine clash, one figure stands out—Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri. With a background rooted in diplomacy and a penchant for sharp, data-driven arguments, Puri has injected unexpected dynamism into the campaign. His recent television appearances and sharp, incisive tweets have managed to cut through the din of election noise, resonating both on-ground and online. No theatrics, just measured precision. His critiques of the AAP’s governance model are clear-eyed and serious, leaving little room for rebuttal. In a campaign season that felt monotonous, Puri’s interventions have elevated the stakes. He’s become a rare voice steering the narrative with gravitas and facts. What do you think? Have his contributions shifted the momentum on the ground? I’d be keen to hear your thoughts. The three main players: @AamAadmiParty @BJP4India @INCIndia

Met Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu (@RamMNK), India's new Civil Aviation Minister. His leadership brings a promising future for the ministry with fresh energy and vision. Anticipating significant advancements in the aviation sector with him at the helm. He’s hit the ground running and how! Best wishes for his tenure ahead.

The @BLRAirport continues to delight. A friend forgot his bag in the restroom at arrival. Even though the @IndiGo6E staffer was informed. They were of little to no help (as usual). ✅But lo and behold, the saviours of @CISFHQrs. They promptly helped the passenger out and got him his package. Even though Indigo gets a B- here, but @CISF_KIA get a A++ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you, Inspr. Bhanwar Lal and S.I Ashish Chauhan. 👏🏻👏🏻

“If India, instead of buying Russian oil, if we start buying more of the Middle Eastern oil, the oil price will not be at $75 or $76. It will be $150.” — Indian Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas @HardeepSPuri
