Truly an amazing fellow… We will never see another one like him!

This was a mistake… I am always concerned when PM Modi gives audience to folks from leftist Bollywood. His photo op with Karan Johar and gang was another such avoidable episode!

I think, it is quite possible that Trump will deliver the FIFA World Cup to USA!

Annamalai is praising TVK… He is quiet on DMK… He is quiet on ADMK… But he is critical of BJP… Aspiring to be a local TN party, this approach is quite odd. Is his fight for 2.97% vote share or the rest of 97.03%?

SATLUJ movie - Punjab95 Can creative licence be granted to paint heroes as villains? Having lived through the dark age of militancy years in Punjab and after having watched the movie, I don’t know where and how to begin but I will try… Cut to April 1983 - DIG Atwal’s bullet ridden body in a pool of blood was lying just outside the Golden Temple complex and the killers were dancing around him…. After prayers, as soon as DIG Atwal stepped outside the Golden Temple complex, a terrorist who had emerged from within the complex itself, pounded him with bullets from an automatic weapon and walked back into the complex (an 11 year old boy too was killed, another sad reality of the times when scores of innocent lives were lost in cross fire). Atwal’s security ran away, and his body lay there for over 2 hours as police was too terrified to remove it… Those were the days when terrorism was ruling Punjab and the state was fighting a proxy war with a demoralised police force… Enter KPS Gill, and rest is history… Of course there were excesses from the police side too and many were rightly punished. Jaswant Singh’s, the protagonist in the movie, was a condemnable murder and justice was finally meted out… It was also a sad reality those days that some people misused the all powerful police to settle personal scores and police obliged, perhaps many times unknowingly, as any inaction on their part would have been highly risky, such were those crazy times. The harsh reality was that Punjab was in a state of war, youth was drawn to the lure of gun and folks who live by the gun die by it… Take the case of SSP Sandhu (SSP Sugga in the movie). He was a decorated police officer who led from the front and killed many dreaded terrorists exactly during the times when the police force was totally demoralised. He even captured many top ranked militants…. It was possible that some police officers became ‘addicted’ to high handed approach & it did happen. I am not trying to justify but to maintain during an ugly war like this is really really tough. But it has to be done and thankfully, many of such officers were punished… But to paint the whole police force as a villian is extremely unfair especially when most of them behaved heroically during those most testing times… The movie simply glosses over the fact that because of the tough action by Punjab Police, thousands of youth who were led astray and took to the gun, surrendered with weapons… Lastly, it was also an ideological war which can never be suppressed by the state if the people are not with it. Credit again, in large measure, to Punjab police for working and supporting the people in trying times who eventually said ‘NO’ to separatists and terrorists due to which peace was eventually restored… Hence, for a movie to paint a black and white picture, where the canvas is actually strewn all over with shades of grey is highly unfair! I simply hope that folks who are uninitiated, don’t form an opinion on those dark days of Punjab simply on the basis of this movie but they take this opportunity to research the subject thoroughly and holistically before they reach any opinion. PS - Jaswant Singh Khalra, the Human Rights activist’s wife continues with his mission and recently during assembly by polls she openly favoured and canvassed for Amritpal Singh’s party candidate (Waris Punjab De). So folks can draw their own conclusions but what it also clearly points to is the sad aspect of a complete political leadership vacuum in Punjab where all established parties like Akali Dal, Cong, BJP and now AAP, have failed the people & the state of Punjab 😔

If I was @narendramodi or @AmitShah I would take this ethnol issue extremely seriously. This could go onto become a Vajyapee era "Onion crisis" like issue. Don't take public concerns for granted. The middle-class is your core voters.

Dear @narendramodi ji, I am forced to directly reach out to you on E20 matter as we don’t get appropriate responses from concerned minister’s like @nitin_gadkari ji (who has gone quiet) or @HardeepSPuri ji (who is too defensive) or the BJP IT cell and its extended arms (who are busy mocking and deriding the citizens). The key points are as follows: 1. This is not a political issue as this is a widespread concern expressed even by many of your staunchest of supporters as is evident at X. We are not with the protesters who are raking it up to gain political mileage and despite this grave issue we stand fully behind you. 2. We are not against E20 but rather support its implementation. 3. However there are genuine concerns with vehicle mileage as the impact is not just 4-5% but could be as high as 30% even amongst new vehicles (2025 onwards). With so many first time private players coming into production of ethanol, it could be that the quality may not be up to the mark and the quality checks may not be stringent. 4. Vehicle mileage variances points to inconsistent quality of petrol being supplied by various petrol pumps. Adulterated petrol has always been an issue in India but with ethanol, the opportunity to adulterate may have got further enhanced. There could be issues with pumps storage facilities (ethanol requires better quality storage facilities like moisture proof etc that pumps may be hesitant to invest in leading to moisture ridden petrol). 5. This calls for strongest checks and balances at ethanol producing units, depots and retail pumps, which may not be adequate enough leading to vehicle issues with machinery and mileage. There may even be issues other than mentioned above that concerned ministries must look into. 6. Lastly, since the concerns are so widespread, it is advisable that to allay fears & concerns, govt must seriously consider consumer demand of providing both E10 and E20 options. The ministries have only been repeating general points, ad nauseam, without addressing concerns that people are facing on the ground. People need solutions not sermons and I am sure your intervention in this matter will help in a big way. Thanking you in anticipation🙏

BJP IT cell and their extended MASTERSTROKE handles coming out vehemently opposing and even mocking common citizens concerns with E20 is in very bad taste… If they can’t empathise with people, at least, they should maintain silence as it is quite clear that they simply don’t have the answers to people’s basic concerns.

UP’s agricultural growth has increased from 8.6% in 2017 to 17.7% in 2025 and is No. 1 producer in India of fruits and vegetables with 16.6% contribution… Tremendous leap of around 50% increase in productivity in both food grains and horticulture and is India’s largest producer in both categories now (food grains & horticulture)

“I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance. We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions as true.” Swami Vivekananda Hence he said, “Garv se kaho hum Hindu hain” Today in 1902 he left this material world for his heavenly abode. He was only 39. To me, there was no better preacher of our rich cultural heritage and spirituality than him in the modern times.

Hello @amitmalviya ji, This is a poor excuse. If Congress jumps in the well, would BJP jump too??

The bedrock of economic progress is choice, not coercion. A sensible approach would be to offer consumers a choice and reserve mandatory E20 only during energy emergencies. My views, with five scientific arguments on why the costs of E20 blending far outweigh its benefits:

Really?? If true, this should not surprise us at all, as we saw during 2024 elections that he can fall to any level

Hello @AshokShrivasta6 ji, Your heart felt statements below resonate with every law abiding Hindu of our great nation which is well on the way of becoming truly secular post 2014, giving up blatant appeasement. You have not just spoken for yourself but you voiced the sentiments of over 1 billion Hindus. Please accept my heart felt thank you 🙏 x.com/PoornimaNimo/status/20…

Let me clarify my post below… I am not against ethanol mixing in petrol. My biggest concerns are: 1) Quality of ethanol being mixed in petrol. @nitin_gadkari 2) checks and balances to guarantee that ethanol blend is not going beyond 20% as vehicles are only E20 complaint and not beyond that. @HardeepSPuri My personal experience with my own Toyota vehicle that I bought in 2025: Huge variance in mileage anywhere between 12km/l to 18km/l and I want to underline here that I always fill petrol only from IOC petrol pumps. I checked with Toyota service and they clearly told me it depends on petrol quality! So there seems to be clear variances in petrol quality being delivered even at public sector retail outlets? In India unfortunately, a faintest of opportunity for corruption is utilised to the hilt by the ‘system’. @narendramodi
