Biggest PR move on this planet that Ambani could make would be to simply come forward and make a video saying:
“Mera paisa desh ka paisa hai. Mujhe profit ho na ho, main bik jaaun par desh rehna chahiye.”
And then announce six months of free internet.
The entire dehat of India would just go bonkers.
देश की लगभग 8 करोड़ जानता को सही से सुरक्षित पीने का पानी तक नहीं मिलता है।
और यहाँ हमारे चुनाव आयोग में बैठे लोग प्रीमियम Aãva कंपनी का पानी पी रहे है जिसकी एक लीटर की एक बॉटल ₹500 रुपये की आती है।
मतलब एक तरफ़ देश ग़रीबी, बेरोजगारी, महंगाई, दो वक़्त की रोटी से झूझ रहा है।
वहीं दूसरी तरफ़ ये ब्यूरोकेट्स लोग देश के टैक्स पेयर्स के पैसों पे ऐश काट रहे है।
Opposition boycotting elections = BJP wins all seats. Once that happens, they amend the Constitution to legalize all their crimes.
Also not contesting elections means betraying the lakhs of workers who are on the ground, fighting with their lives.
That is why it is important to fight elections to protect democratic rights, while also fighting for free and fair elections
If Gyanesh Kumar does not resign by tomorrow, CJP will begin its nationwide protest from Mumbai on 2 October, and take it to cities across India.
This Gandhi Jayanti let’s pledge to save democracy.
The vote is the foundation of Indian democracy.
From the vote flows the power of our Constitution, the authority of our laws, and the legitimacy of our public institutions - this chain defines modern India.
Today this chain is broken, and this has never happened in India before. By destroying the vote, this government and the Election Commission have attacked the expression of every single Indian.
Everything this government has done on the strength of stolen votes is illegal. An MP elected through vote chori holds an illegitimate seat, and every law passed with that MP's support is an illegitimate law.
🚨IMPORTANT NEWS🚨
Since Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar is in the news, I have some very important but sad news to share about a Supreme Court judge.
Supreme Court judge Justice Satish Chandra Sharma. Just two months away from retirement.
If you remember, the Allahabad High Court had imposed a penalty on Medha Roopam, the DM of Noida and daughter of Gyanesh Kumar with a fine of five lakh rupees for irrationally issuing NSA order against a student Activist for Noida labour protest.
That order was challenged before the Supreme Court of India. Live Law, the news portal, reported that Gyanesh’s daughter’s case was listed before Justice Satish Chandra Sharma out of turn and in violation of the Supreme Court roster and rules and convention. The challenge ought to have gone before Justice Nagarathna’s bench, known to be an independent upright judge.
Two days back, when the matter was listed for hearing, Justice Sharma‘s bench switched off the audio of the Supreme Court proceeding, which is highly unusual and almost never done. ALARMING. There was no explanation from the judge’s side as to why this extraordinary favour was done for Gyanesh’s daughter.
In any case the fine and the adverse remarks of the Allahabad High Court were stayed by Justice Sharma immediately.
Same day, in another case related to Gyanesh Kumar—the constitutional challenge that was filed against the 2023 law on election commissioners of India was finally decided by a two judge bench of which Justice Sharma was a part of.
Under challenge was the appointments procedure where the leader of opposition today holds only an ornamental seat in the Three-member selection committee that selects Election commissioner of India. The other two are PM and his Cabinet Minister. Justice Sharma dissented which led to a split verdict and the case has now been sent before the Chief Justice of India for constituting a larger bench. This has delayed the case by years probably. This split verdict itself came after three years. This is how the Supreme Court refuses to hear most important cases that affect our lives and the country.
A separate blanket immunity granted to past and present election commissioners of India by Modi’s government is also pending for last 9 months before CJI Surya Kant. Today, the Chief Election Commissioner has been exposed for gross illegalities and for stealing votes and elections at the behest of powers that be. Any sane, sorted, neutral, just person can see that the selection process of ECIs is not independent and tilted in govt’s favour. But not Justice Sharma.
And here’s the big news: his son holds not one, not two, but four big, plum government counsel panels, including income, tax department, GST, customs, and excise, and a Madhya Pradesh government lawyer panel. I need not explain the great perks and influence that come along when you hold such plum government panels. Read my Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma report where I exposed the same thing.
I am withholding the name of the son for now.
The important question is: how can a judge be expected to do impartial and fair Justice in politically sensitive cases if his family members serve at the pleasure of the government? The judge is also retiring two months later, and several lawyers have informed me that there are vacancies in NCLAT and other search plum tribunals.
I’M SORRY TO SAY such a system of judiciary does not inspire confidence in its ability to do impartial justice. There is a reason why the ethics code for judges require them to maintain a sense of aloofness and not do anything which can harm the their image and that of the judiciary.
Both in Justice Swarna Kanta’s case and several other judges case, including that of the Supreme Court, it is TRAGIC to notice the complete capture of the institution of the Indian judiciary. Can the judiciary go on like this?
The goal is good; We have some of the best statisticians in the world; we have AI; and yet we still conduct policy in a vacuum. Why? Is it because we don't ask questions? Phrased differently, why are we a nation of Babus? indianexpress.com/article/opinio…
What the @IndianExpress reported on @ECISVEEP is one part of the story. There’s more.
The government’s grip on the election process is getting tighter and opaque.
For example, “The entire election machinery, we found, from the manufacturing of EVMs to the software loaded on to them, to the committee appointed to evaluate the software, the so-called third-party auditing this software and much more, is controlled by the Union government and the ECI has very little say.
The same holds true for the pre-election security measures put in place for the machines, such as first-level checking before they are sealed in a warehouse with 24x7 security. Or the random allocation of the machines to constituencies. No officer of the Election Commission is present during any of these exercises. Instead, only officials of the two manufacturers are present, as is the district collector. The Election Commission does not have a say in the allocation of machines to a state, an exercise entrusted once again to the two PSUs. The ECI, however, can track the location of the machines using the EVM Tracking Software.”

Since the @POTUS is so interested in India’s election process, here’s a replug on an analysis I did on our EVMs. Some facts to chew over: The source code of the EVM has never been audited and the @ECISVEEP is actually a bit player in the entire election process. Go figure.
Why was the audio turned off by the Supreme Court?
Noida DM, incidentally, is the daughter of Chief Election Chor Gyanesh Kumar.
Why should the media & citizens be denied the right to know what’s going on in the Supreme Court?
Very shocking & concerning.
#SupremeCourt turns off the audio while the hearing on Noida DM Medha's matter challenging Allahabad HC's direction to pay Rs. 5 lac from salary to the student illegally detained in Noida protest matter going on.
The Election Commission of India is under fire like never before.
The SIR has struck 13 crore names off draft rolls, putting the EC at the centre of intense public debate over its role in deciding who gets to vote — and who doesn’t.
HOWEVER, what nobody knew: through that same period, some of the sharpest questions were being asked from inside.
Out today, after months of work. Our #ExpressInvestigation 🧵

Really bad experience with @AirCanada on AC1504
I paid for business class and they put me in economy. When I asked what happened, the answer was basically “it happened, we can’t do anything. You can take the flight or leave it.”
Not even a simple apology.
When I kept asking why, instead of trying to help, I was told I could be taken off the plane.
I wasn’t asking for anything extra. I was only asking for the business class seat I paid for and an explanation.
@AirCanada
Calling us Houthis is like calling the Iranian people Khomeinis. Wouldn't it be better to call us Yemenis instead of Houthis?
I wish that were the case, because "Houthi" is the title of the leader of the Yemeni revolution, Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, while the entire population participated in the September 21, 2014 revolution. Therefore, you should call us by our true name: Yemenis or Ansar Allah (Supporters of God).
The name "Houthis" is used by our enemies to belittle us and deny our existence as a state, government, people, and army. Therefore, I hope you will not call us by the name our enemies use for us.
American Matthew Aaron VanDyke, a veteran of covert wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, was arrested in India in March alongside six military-trained drone specialists from Ukraine. Indian authorities allege the group, part of a larger international network, smuggled drones into India and then into Myanmar. After returning from Myanmar, the seven were arrested under India's stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for alleged terrorist conspiracy.
VanDyke's case has since been raised with New Delhi by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
In a preliminary chargesheet filed this week, however, India's National Investigation Agency indicted the seven under the Immigration and Foreigners Act, not the UAPA, telling the court that its wider investigation into the alleged cross-border drone supplies and terrorist conspiracy remains ongoing.
Earlier, after VanDyke began a liquid-only hunger strike, saying he could not stomach the prison's Indian-style food, a New Delhi court — without objection from the prosecution — approved his request for a special Western-style diet in jail.
It is difficult to imagine an Indian jailed in the U.S. on terrorist-conspiracy charges receiving a court-approved special Indian diet as readily. The New Delhi court even ordered the jail authorities to assign a prison cook to take care of VanDyke's dietary needs.
If reports are true that terror charges against U.S. citizen Matthew Van Dyke have been dropped after high level U.S.-India meetings, the Modi Government owes India an explanation.
If an individual was arrested on allegations involving illegal entry, links with armed groups and drone warfare training, how did those serious allegations suddenly disappear?
