आजच BBC हिंदीने सत्ताधारी नेते घरी येऊन गेल्यावर काय घडते हे दाखवले आहे. मोदी घरी आले. न मागता कर्ज माथी मारले. एजंट्सनी वसूलीचा तगादा लावला. आता असे वाटतेय की मोदी घरी आले नसते तर बरे झाले असते. ज्या घरी भेट दिली त्यांच्या या भावना आहेत. सध्या आपल्याकडेही असाच इव्हेंट सुरु आहे.

Why : ECI is maintaining Deafening Silence ?? Now on 07-11-2026 - it was over 44 days since RTI was filed on September 25, 2026. ECI CPIO failed to respond to RTI Dated 07-11-2026 ! @ECISWEEP @SpokespersonECI

VIDEO | Delhi: AISA President Neha Bora says, "First of all, you are claiming that you have seen 220 days of good air quality this year. But when we scrutinise that data, we find that it is manipulated because the accurate data puts you in a bad light. You are also claiming that October has been the cleanest month in a decade this year. You do not mention that October was also the rainiest month, due to which all the emissions and particulate matter settled down. Then, when it becomes undeniable that after the rain stopped, the environment is the same again and air pollution is back...." (Full video available on PTI Videos - ptivideos.com)

How much commission did Jitendra take from the alleged foreign funding to get Dharmendra Pradhan sacked? After all, he was the one at the negotiating table.

Lol. Modus Operandi explained with example. 👇🏼
The modus operandi of several right wing influencers on X. Manufacture a controversy around a public figure, then offer a paid PR campaign to defend them. If they agree to pay, start posting in their favour. If they refuse, intensify the attacks until they feel compelled to negotiate. Negative ho ya positive, PR ka kaam inhi ko milna chahiye. Either way, they stand to profit. The trick is to create the very crisis they later offer to “manage.” Recent example is attack and defence of Maharashtra CM's wife Amruta Fadnavis. Take Bollywood for example: A movie/song trailer drops, these right wing influencers unleash a barrage of negative publicity, and the people behind the film panic. The same influencers attacking the film then become the people approached to promote it. From outrage to endorsement. All it takes is a PR deal. People who are unaware of this think it's a spontaneous outrage. What they don't know is the businessbehind it.

Urgent Update Extremely significant ECI communication following SC’s direction in Delhi SIR case On October 28, 2026 in the Delhi SIR matter, the SC had observed that making deleted voters on ASDD list fill Form 6 was an ERROR. SC had said that such voters should be allowed to fill enumeration form/ Form 8 if they are marked as permanently shifted or as absent/ untraceable. Today, the ECI has issued communication dated November 6, 2026 addressed to CEOs of Delhi, Maharashtra, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Telangana and Nagaland on facilitating inclusion of left out voters. The communication states: - Voters who are on ASDD list as they had shifted residence, can fill enumeration form along with a statement with details of their new address. In case of homeless persons, field verification by BLO will suffice. - Voters who could not submit their enumeration form within the deadline and are on ASDD list can submit their enumeration form now along with a statement on why they were unable to do so earlier. - All those on ASDD list who will now fill enumeration form along with the applicable statement will be re-assigned their old EPIC number. All such cases will be parked for inclusion in final voter list following due verification. - Wide publicity must be given to all these initiatives, including through media, social media, announcements, reaching out through WhatsApp etc. and facilitation and assistance to be provided to voters. We welcome this communication issued by the ECI. We believe this is an important step in addressing large scale exclusions caused during SIR. The provision to re-assign the old EPIC numbers is important as it will ensure preservation of voter’s historical record of being an existing voter. Just in Delhi, out of 47.56 lakh deleted in the first phase and put on ASDD, 31.59 lakh were marked as permanently shifted and 11.73 as absent/untraceable. The SC had observed that asking such people to fill Form 6 with its declaration of being a first time voter was an error. We urge the CEO of Delhi and all other states to take immediate steps to operationalise these critical directions. Anjali Bhardwaj & Amrita Johri Petitioners in Writ Petition (Civil) 1188/2026 & IA No. 317050/2026 Petitioners are being represented in the SC by advocate Prashant Bhushan along with Neha Rathi & Cheryl D’souza.

Five weeks ago we reported that two Election Commissioners had objected 14 times in 10 months, revealing an unprecedented rift inside the Election Commission. Since then the Commission has reversed course on almost EVERY move the two Commissioners had red-flagged. The last was Form 6. The SIR declaration is now out of the online form everywhere, including the states where the SIR is still running. It’s a separate declaration now. With this, the reversal is complete. Let me explain. indianexpress.com/article/in… 🧵 (1/13)

On one hand ECI is conducting Special Summary Revision, in states where SIR has already concluded, to include not just young and first time voters, but also those 'left out'. And on other, Home Minister is defending the 13 crore deletions as right. So, who is 'left out' then?

Undoubtedly, a move by the self-styled Chanakya who revived an unknown Nationalist Citizens Party of India as a parking place for TMC defectors. There are 734 such registered unrecognised political parties in India that had a reported income of over Rs 1100 crore in 2024/25. Half of that amount went to 29 such parties in Gujarat alone.

Let this alarming report sink in. If Aadhaar-verification is replaced (or supplemented) with voter-verification in DBT payments, the GoI will be able to deprive non-voters of all benefits at the click of a mouse. Non-voters will become 2nd-class citizens.

too long to read so here are some images bye goodnight
to the most respected finance minister. i have a doubt. please find time to answer me. you say that the venue for a debate is the parliament. you say that my home minister, amit shah has offered a special session to debate. you say that if rahul gandhi - the leader of opposition, wants to debate my prime minister, he should come to the parliament. ma'am, let's start by pointing out some facts. jul 20 - the parliament session opens. narendra modi, the ever so hon'ble prime minister - addresses the media - outside the parliament. he asks for a fact-based debate. jul 24 - Amit Shah's National Honour Bill is introduced in Rajya Sabha, by Nityanand Rai, who is MoS for home affairs. Jairam Ramesh asks "Where is the Cabinet Minister". This is present in the RS Transcript. jul 29 - Rahul Gandhi, the leader of opposition - asks "why is the Home Minister not here today?". This is also present in the LS Transcript. jul 30 - Rahul Gandhi asks "why Shah is so scared of coming to Parliament" aug 4 - Amit Shah, is seen in the parliamentary complex. at an NDA Parliamentary Party Meeting. He Doesn't enter the house. as per reporting from Navbharat Live. aug 6 - Mallikarjun Kharge, in Rajya Sabha, asks "Why is the Prime Minister not coming? Why is the Home Minister not coming?" as Per Kerala Kamudi - this is consistent with the RS transcript. aug 11 - congress MP Manickam Tagore attacks the absent home minister. as per reporting by the ANI. aug 12 - Amit Shah says to the media, "have been coming to Parliament regularly since the Session began; I sit in my chamber." talking to the media, at around 12:30 PM, Amit Shah offered "If the Opposition wrote to the speaker, there would be a debate from 3 PM wednesday (12 aug - the same day) to 3 PM thursday (13 aug - the next day) this was roughly a 2 hour window to submit the letter. he further said "I will sit in the House; I will listen to everyone and respond to every point." Rahul Gandhi said "We are not interested in listening to his lecture, Who shot those students? Who blinded that student? Who ordered the lathi charge?" this referred to the Pellet Shots fired at the Student, Sahil Lochav. He asked about the Lathi Charge that happened in the protests on July 20th. The Opposition wanted a statement from Shah about this, Shah wanted them to submit a letter to the speaker, in a window of roughly 2 hours - after not being present for 17 straight settings. with no recorded appearance. aug 13 - Lok Sabha sits for 4 minutes. 11:00 AM to 11:04 AM. The National Song, Vande Mataram, is played. and then, the house is adjourned sine die. Both ever so honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Shri Amit Shah were present on these days. for the 4 minutes. --- Respected Finance Minister Ma'am, These were the facts I have pointed out. I have not said anything that was my own opinion. I have not framed the facts in a way that support any party. My facts were gathered by scraping Documents from the LS and RS portal, OCR'ing the PDFs, then parsing them and then Aggregating News Sources. - and pointing out facts from them. Cold, Hard, Records. I have not asked any questions yet - which I will do now. I am a human. I have evolved Pattern Seeking skills. I spot a pattern here. I see that for the entirety of the Monsoon Session, Prime Minister Modi, and Home Minister Shah, did not utter a word on the record of the Lok Sabha. They were not present in the house except for the last 4 minutes, on the last day. Shah says "He was sitting in his cabin", Ma'am, I don't think debates happen when you sit alone in a cabin. It happens on the floor, where the other side can ask questions too. I don't see a meaningful debate happening in an environment like the Parliament. I say this with utter disappointment. If Parliament is the venue for debate, why did the two most senior members of the government not speak there once in 19 sittings? And why was the one offer to debate made to the press on the 18th day, with a deadline of a couple of hours? Why are there "offers" even? I think it is your responsibility to be in debates because that is your entire job. As you say, "Demanding answers also carries an obligation to hear them." -- Well, were Amit Shah or Narendra Modi, hearing the Questions being asked? They were not in the house even. Please Answer my Doubts. I would be very obliged if you do so. Regards, Sarthak

If rational demands are not met, can a protest be a 5-hour affair? Do the problems of the protesters seize to exist after “identified” hours? And why can’t the court ask the government to frame rules that would mandate a senior bureaucrat/minister to visit the protesters at the site at the end of this so-called “identified hours” and listen to their concerns, assure them of action? Why no such positive obligation on the government but all kinds of nonsensical rules imposed on citizens? By restricting the right to protest even further, the judges here are not really helping citizens who simply want to be HEARD. Unacceptable.
#BREAKING Supreme Court says the right to protest cannot mean occupying a designated protest site indefinitely and denying others the same right. CJI Surya Kant says farmers, workers, trade unions and the homeless also have a right to protest, and sites must be allotted for identified periods. The Court also stresses the need to balance the right to protest with the right to trade and earn a livelihood, particularly that of daily-wage workers. #DelhiProtests @Cockroachisback #DelhiProtest
