One goes to a sea/ocean shore to soak in the salty breeze, gaze into the horizon, watch the waves and feel calm, get energised AND be calmed at the same time. So naturally, this fucking regime has to snatch that away from us with ugly construction and now hoardings.
Juhu floating hoarding, 2022.

The Modi government is so subservient to Washington that it is still shamelessly promoting a man whose links to convicted child sex offender and child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein warrant an independent investigation - not a Rajya Sabha seat or a ministerial berth. Hardeep Puri has been missing in action as India grapples with an energy shock. No leadership, no reassurance - just one fuel price hike after another. He seemed prepared to fade into political oblivion. But then his big brothers in America stepped in to prolong his career and his services to them, and Modi had to relent. Epstein, energy crisis and economic pain. That is Hardeep Puri’s lasting legacy, irrespective of how many terms Modi gives him under American pressure. A government that bows to America and a minister who fails to deliver for India. Modi’s double-engine failure in plain sight.

They are pushing for the public listing of Tata Sons, the holding company, so that two capitalist cronies can drag down its share price and launch a hostile takeover through their shell companies. And ultimately destroy the TATA brand, which has been an integral part of India’s development.
Tata is being criminally destroyed, and no business leader dares say a word. How long will you stay silent? Until they own you? Indian business is not Modi and Shah's plaything. You lack courage. We don't. We will ensure justice for these crimes.

So, the SIR Bench allowed Bengal elections to be conducted despite lacs of voters having been deleted n "Logical Discrepancies" - LD. Now, the same Bench says - it did not mean that it has finally decided LD issue. How does that work ?
Replying to @LiveLawIndia
CJI: you see how to reduce this gap of 43 lakh...we will take up after 2 weeks. one suggestion - [make sure] list is published telling that you are the 43 lakh persons who were earlier shown in so and so...that we have not been able to contact you, please see that you are able to contact us. Ask them to contact neaest BLO and fill form 8 J Bagchi: Enumeration forms will be enough. After final list, you are correct. CJI -Tell that Form 6 and 8 are still welcome. Keep on persuading people. Naidu: On field, experience is different. At best, 1-2 persons could have come...we will take steps in 2 weeks. meanwhile, time will also be enhanced J Bagchi -When you are going for SIR, your architecture is intensive. Delhi is a much easier turf for you. You got much bigger places (Maharashtra) Bhushan: In same press release, they have mentioned that 33 lakhs have been identified by system as no mapping. Where electors could not map with last SIR in 2002 and 19.34 lakh LD. They have never defined in any document what they consider LD J Bagchi: legality of LD we will go into greater detail later on Naidu: We have taken care of 95% that they are in J Bagchi: how do you reopen electoral roll of 2003? you can do on one-off basis. You have power, but as en masse exercise, your mapping from 2003 is understood, but what about LD of people already in 2003 list? you have created patterns. we have to examine whether creating of patterns is application of mind by human agency. Bihar SIR never considered LD. Because there were certain issues [...] we had permitted you to go ahead. It did not mean we had finally decided.

Most Congress state handles are either glorified PR accounts for regional leaders or graphic-posting machines with zero impact. There is nothing wrong with posting about regional leaders, but you will never achieve massive reach if you don’t engage in national politics with facts, data, humour & creativity. That’s exactly what @INCKerala Twitter did differently, becoming the No. 1 political state handle. Imagine 15-20 INC state handles actively engaging in national politics, with humour, data, facts, and creativity. BJP will be cooked.

In any other country, if anyone’s picture comes out with Epstein in any capacity, that ends their public life and political career. In India, one such guy has actually been rewarded with another MP term. What an utter and absolute shameZ

Dubey’s Fake Degree did NOT triumph- @barandbench & others- pls fix reporting. Court restrained @Subhashgarg1960 from using “blackmailer” for Fake Degree Dubey & since I had retweeted that I took it down. Court REFUSED his plea to injunct me from saying he is Fake Degree Dubey.

And anybody objecting to this disgusting deal with the contractor will be called anti- Maharashtra/ urban naxal. Zero sense of aesthetics for the city, the regime is not even leaving the sea to loot every bit of Mumbai that they can. Infact, the number of LED screens put up with their insane brightness at night, should be reduced. But the regime belongs to those who can buy them out, not to the people!
🚨 Mumbai will get floating advertising barges & hoardings at waterfront sites across Juhu, Bandra-Worli Sea Link.

If @vijaythottathil was behind the Kerala Congress Twitter/𝕏 handle, every state unit should learn from him how to run its Twitter handle. We need 20 more handles like that, but the Kerala Congress President decided to nuke the only one we had.

Dear @SunnyJosephINC, If you cannot protect party cadres, you are unfit to hold office. Please resign from your post as PCC President.
The Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) has tendered an unconditional apology to Chief Justice of India Justice Surya Kant over a controversial post published on the official X account of the Congress Kerala unit. In its reply to a legal notice, KPCC president Sunny Joseph said the post was published by Vijay Thottathil without the knowledge or approval of the party leadership. Vijay Thottathil has been removed from his position and asked to issue a public apology, the reply stated

Anveet Kaur in a yellow bikini makes it to Aaj Tak’s headlines, but the cries of people in Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur don’t. The fourth pillar of democracy has become a fucking circus run by glorified gossip merchants and TRP-hungry parasites.

Have some shame, @SunnyJosephINC throwing a comrade under the bus isn't this party's legacy. Except for one party's followers, no one has an issue with that post. Your real concern is the legal battle ahead, so you're shifting all the blame onto one person to protect yourself
Replying to @PanickarS
Dude, I stand by what I said. When this issue came up two weeks ago, KPCC didn’t mention any names. Now, in its statement responding to the legal notice, I see that my name has been mentioned. It has always been a team effort, never the work of one individual. That collective effort is what has helped make @INCKerala the No. 1 political handle in India when it comes to content. You’re free to rejoice and hurl abuses, but I’m proud of the contribution I’ve made to the handle and the party over the years, helping bring it to the level it is today.

#Imp: As much as the right-wing trolls would love to see a controversy here and mislead people, Justice Kaul is right: 1. This was at a private function. 2. Justice Kaul was a private citizen, having retired two years before that. 3. No question of mentoring—I’ve been in touch with 100s of lawyers, judges, and ex-judges since my reporting years. 4. “Taper it down” is an advice I have gotten from literally EVERYONE who loves and/or supports my work lol. Justice Kaul was kind enough to also speak his mind with me. And that is exactly how it should be! 5. The issue here is not about who was photographed with whom. The issue here is the grave revelations by Justice Kaul that paint a very dark and dangerous state of our judiciary, proving institutional capture. Rest is all a DISTRACTION.
The photo with Saurav Das @SauravDassss was when he had nothing to do with politics and I was a private citizen. Is this how things will be determined: Justice Kaul.

Lol my name has been deleted 😭😭 No notice was served, No BLO visited my home. This process at least in Telangana was a real sham.
In the state of Telangana, the procedure and the guidelines of SIR was duly followed and enumeration forms (EFs)were distributed to all electors and filled in EFs were taken back and draft rolls were prepared after excluding the names from whom EFs were not received. The non-returned EFs consisted of persons who have died, permanently shifted, absent, duplicates. Out of total 3,38,26,448 Electors, in state of Telangana, 2,64,87,213 Electors have been included in the draft Roll. 73,39,235 Electors have been moved to ASDD Category, out of which, 57,46,803 Electors are Absent/Shifted, 9,22,229 Electors are in Dead category and 6,70,203 Electors are Duplicate Votes.The same were moved to ASDD Category. This was done only after House-to-House visit and due enquiry by BLOs and not done unilaterally. Also opportunity has been given to left out Electors during the period of Claims and Objections for filing their claims if any. Another opportunity by way of Special Camps on 15th and 16th, October, 2026 was taken up and ensured that *Every Eligible Elector is added and no ineligible elector remain in the Electoral Roll*. The whole process and procedures were duly followed. #ECI #CEOTelangana @ECISVEEP @SpokespersonECI
