Dear Mrs. Sitarama,
1.Which "legal and commercial matter" required Tata Trusts and Tata Sons to be hosted at Amit Shah's residence?
2.When is crony number 1 going to appear in the game and which pieces of Tata is he going to get?
Finally, all India's businesses except 3-4 of your cronies, already hate all of you and don't need any incitement.
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.

This is a sensible pivot — from earlier seeming anti-business to now clearly positioning himself as anti-oligarchs. The distinction is important & the nuance was much needed in the Congress’ worldview.

.@IndianExpress editorial today:
“The affidavit that the Election Commission of India has filed before the Supreme Court is underwhelming, raises more questions than it answers.”

You cannot play good-progressive politicians in Delhi to protect your own but use the same excessive force and cruelty you claim to oppose on my people in Punjab!

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.

Punjab’s drug epidemic continues to steal our youth, but the state's response is pure cowardice.
Instead of going after the drug mafia destroying families, Mansa Police forcibly seized the body of 35year old Daljit Singh from his mourning family.
Denying a grieving family their right to perform final rites isn't just an abuse of power it is a brutal, inhuman violation of basic dignity.
@BhagwantMann, Punjab demands accountability, not police brutality against the dead.

There’s bound to be some tamasha when this book comes out. After all, others have spent decades telling my “story”, now it’s my turn.

The Election Commission has filed its reply in the Supreme Court to the petition on how the three-member Commission functions.
27 pages, approved by all three members. Its argument: every decision was unanimous, and a Commissioner’s note is a “suggestion,” not a decision.
Here’s what it addresses, and what it doesn’t.

#ECI adds controversial declaration to Form 6, and thinks calling something an *addition" will escape the modification tag!
Also its affidavit seems silent on #ERONET .
Lots of unanswered questions or vaguely answered ones.
Picture abhi baaki hai
#GyaneshKumar
P. S. Picture abhi baaki hai
Looks like EC has wound itself up in a Gordian knot. Because if the decisions were unanimous, why did the other two complain to the Cabinet Secretary? RTI has given us the records.
#BREAKING All SIR-related decisions were unanimous, ECI tells Supreme Court in its counter-affidavit to petitions questioning the Election Commission's functioning.
Why are Sanghis—both openly and closeted—in the words of the Bard, so sodden-witted? If I indulge myself, I could go further and say something to the tune of ‘a boil, a plague-sore, an embossed carbuncle.’

Finally, documentary evidence that #TheHindiHeartland won Godrej @litlivefest Book of the Year 2026 Award in the non-fiction category. My earlier book #BornaMuslim had won the same award (then Tata) in 2021.
Much surprise, happiness & gratitude is being felt.
Thank you @AlephBookCo for believing in The Hindi Heartland. Thank you @litlivefest for recognizing it.

To every trader in Delhi: We love you and hear you.
The Govt shut the metro, sealed our roads and locked down our capital.
With a stolen vote nothing is safe - your shop, your savings, your children’s future.
Tell Modi to sack accused no. 4, Gyanesh Kumar and the protests will stop in 30 seconds.
दिल्ली के हर व्यापारी से: हम आपसे प्यार करते हैं, आपकी बात सुन रहे हैं।
मेट्रो सरकार ने बंद की, सड़कें सरकार ने सील की, राजधानी पर ताला सरकार ने लगाया।
जब वोट ही चोरी हो जाए, तो कुछ भी सुरक्षित नहीं - न आपकी दुकान, न आपकी बचत, न आपके बच्चों का भविष्य।
मोदी जी से कहिए - आरोपी नंबर 4, ज्ञानेश कुमार को हटाएं, 30 सेकंड में आंदोलन रुक जाएगा।

In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the NDA vote share was 43.80%. The INDIA Alliance's vote share was 41.48%.
With "just 2% more votes" than their opponents, the BJP - and its supporters like you- behave as if the country is your jagir. So spare me the lessons on hypocrisy.
Serbia. And before that, Hungary. Proves one thing. You can rig elections. You can gerrymander elections. Which is exactly what Orban did. You can rule ruthlessly. You can term genuine anger and discontent as 'foreign funded', albeit with no proof. You can lie through and through. But people will show the way. The arc of history is long, and is sometimes convoluted. But it bends towards people who refuse to be silenced.

Congress is absolutely defiant and unfazed of BJP’S attacks following statement of Mallikarjun @kharge on PM Modi. Leaders like Imraan Masood giving it back with full force.

From afar, Lula winning and Vucic losing on the same day is hard to ignore. A crystallization of a kind of global anti-nationalist wave that's as real as the steady far-right march we've all spoken and written about for the past decade. And it's cresting a week before US midterms
