Great to launch the Marathi edition of my book "Kejriwal Model" in front of a packed house at a historic venue in Pune followed with a lively conversation with my co-panelists.
Glad to see that a few messages resonated with everyone in the hall:
- Kejriwal Model's focus on building human capital is the only way India is going to become a developed nation
- Modi govt's development model of enriching a few business houses and ignoring health and education of the masses is doomed to fail the nation

प्रश्न विचारणाऱ्यांचा आवाज दाबण्याचा प्रयत्न खपवून घेतला जाणार नाही!
आज पुणे येथे कोथरूड पोलीस स्टेशनमध्ये सामाजिक कार्यकर्ते संतोष पंडित यांना झालेल्या बेकायदेशीर अटकेसंदर्भात पोलिसांना जाब विचारला.
सामाजिक प्रश्नांवर आवाज उठवणाऱ्या आणि प्रशासनाला जाब विचारणाऱ्या संतोष पंडित यांच्यावर गुन्हा दाखल करून त्यांच्याशी अशा पद्धतीने वागणूक दिली जात असेल, तर हा अत्यंत गंभीर आणि चिंताजनक प्रकार आहे.
कायदा सर्वांसाठी समान असला पाहिजे. पोलीस यंत्रणेचा वापर कोणाचाही आवाज दाबण्यासाठी होऊ नये. सामाजिक कार्यकर्त्यांना न्याय मिळाला पाहिजे आणि या संपूर्ण प्रकरणाची योग्य चौकशी झाली पाहिजे, ही आमची ठाम मागणी आहे.

Yesterday, I attended Santosh Pandit’s court proceedings, and honestly, what I witnessed was deeply disturbing.
Citizens go to the police with evidence, complaints and even proof of violence — yet sometimes, the police won’t even register an NC.
But in this case, a complaint appears after 15 days, with a woman being made the complainant.
Who is the complainant? And what happened during those 15 days?
If Section 35(1) of the BNS can be invoked on the possibility of a future offence, then where was the same law when citizens — including women and a teenager — were detained for simply questioning tree cutting and documenting it?
This is not just about Santosh Pandit.
It is about a much bigger question:
Is the law really equal for everyone?
We stand with Santosh Pandit.
Because in a democracy, raising your voice cannot be a crime.
Justice must prevail.
The law must be equal for all.

I totally agree with Bapat . Only fools without conceptual clarity use terms like "Urban Naxal" or "Dimagi Naxal " . It is so slothful and torpid .
In this clip, Pune activist Vidyanand Bapat strongly rejects the accusation that he is an “Urban Naxal.” He has a brilliant mind with conceptual clarity.
He argues that:
(a) Raising a legitimate civic issue (noise pollution and public nuisance caused by high-decibel DJs during festivals) does not make someone a Naxalite.
(b)The term “Urban Naxal” is being used as a convenient political smear to silence criticism and avoid real debate.
(c)Actual Naxalism involves armed violence and rejection of the democratic system. Peacefully speaking about public problems through interviews and legal channels is the opposite of that.
(d) Those who cannot counter an argument with logic resort to name-calling and physical attacks.
He delivers the response calmly, logically, and with clear reasoning, effectively dismantling the “Urban Naxal” label. The same applies to silly "Dimagi Naxal" .

Thanks to @prajpanshikar, the alignment with a few modifications made in 2024 was mapped on Google earth. This is the entire route.

The #HCMTR alignment was planned in 1983 by Bombay Railways, as an outer ring road for heavy vehicles to "bypass the city"
How can a 1983 alignment be relevant in 2026 - it's mind boggling that no one in the current administration or PMC elected body is questioning this!
Seema Agrawal retweeted
With @navalMH and @Dev_Fadnavis in a desperate hurry to build the #HCMTR in Pune, it's high time people understand the true implications of this project to their daily lives and commutes.
This is VERY important - so please read the 🧵carefully to see whether your house or work place will be impacted
Please share this widely for maximum reach
Residents agreement not taken, the space chosen in society premise was enforced. Closed our society sports arena for 5 days and tin booth structure is set up on our basket ball court. Not acceptable. Residents inconvenienced

This is the shameful quality of the shameless contractors and corrupt PMC bureaucrats.
This is the new Sinhagad Road flyover.
Hell with the public money.

ALT Pune Municipal Corporation, on the occasion of its foundation day, has put up an exhibit about its Riverfront Development Project. It includes the stump of a cut off tree surrounded by ornamental plants. It is an unconscious confirmation of what the riverfront development involves - cutting off of mature riparian trees and replacing them with an artificial decorative garden. What more proof is required of the fact that the RFD is against nature?
