This may be a ploy to make the SIR seem neutral.
As I have written earlier, the CEC must resign. He is unfit to hold this constitutional post. MPs across party lines should move a motion to impeach him. He will not resign on his own , he appears completely shameless. He no longer enjoys the trust of the citizens of India.

ये आदमी बार बार साबित करता है कि नरेंद्र मोदी इसकी 10 जन्म में भी बराबरी नहीं कर सकता. राहुल - ये आँख में क्या हुआ तुम्हारी? लड़की - सर मैं ज़ब तीन साल की थी तो आँख में चूना घुस गया था राहुल - अब कैसी है, ठीक है ना? लड़की - नहीं सर, ठीक नहीं, दिखता नहीं मुझे राहुल - किसी अच्छे डॉक्टर को दिखाया?? लड़की - नहीं सर, मेरे घर की कंडीशन ऐसी नहीं है कि मैं इस आँख का इलाज करवा सकूं राहुल - मैं दिखाता हूं, मैं करवाऊंगा इलाज. आखिर में बोले गए राहुल गाँधी के ये शब्द दिल जीत लेते हैँ, इंसानियत की महक आती है इसमें से इनमें कोई मक्कारी नहीं, साफ नीयत और लोगो के लिए फ़िक्र दिखती है नरेंद्र मोदी जी आप क्या इस आदमी की बराबरी करोगे, आपको मक्कारी आती है, अपनापन नहीं. वीडियो कमेंट में देख लीजियेगा, देखकर भावुक महसूस करेंगे

The old became new only in your imagination. That is why I don't read your column and think it's a waste of newsprint
The old Modi whose great fan I was in his first term would never have asked for hundreds of thousands of diyas to be lit as his birthday gift. My column today.share.google/Gl9lu8tbeewHmYu…

This reminds me of the Asian Paints ad where the grooms parents visit the bride to size her up. But when she is presented they ask her to step aside and not obstruct their view of the newly-painted walls. So here.

I think it has to do with political fundraising which is highly centralized. Policies are framed to extract rent, which is easier to appropriate with fewer players. I wouldn't be surprised if one if the favored actors were not the principal beneficiary of their many businesses.
Twenty years ago, India’s markets were highly competitive. India’s skies were crowded with competition. Multiple airlines battled for every passenger, every route and every fare. A decade ago, multiple telecom operators were fighting on price. Today, most of India’s major markets are captured by duopolies. -Telecom is captured by Jio and Airtel. -Aviation is captured by IndiGo and Air India. -E-commerce by Flipkart and Amazon. -Cab services by Ola and Uber. -UPI by PhonePe and GPay. -Travel booking by MakeMyTrip and Ixigo. -Food delivery by Swiggy and Zomato. -Quick commerce by Blinkit and Zepto. And I can continue... The fundamental issue here is competition. In a capitalist market, competition creates wealth. Concentration destroys it. Over the last decade have hollowed out competition, allowing a handful of entities to accumulate disproportionate market power while consumers are left with fewer choices and weaker bargaining power. Much of this has happened under the watch, patronage and, at times blatant indulgence of the government of the day.

Yesterday, the BJP's socmedia handles thought it appropriate to post misogynistic, crude AI fake images in a bizarre attempt to denigrate a former President of the Congress Party, who is also a sitting Rajya Sabha member. The fact that official ruling party handles posted these images right before BRICS is a national embarrassment. As major world leaders arrive in India, this is what you want to advertise — that the country's largest political party's media is run by women-hating trolls? Meanwhile, let's take a closer look at what the BJP fears so greatly. A genuine love story. A respectful partnership between a husband and wife who both loved India and wished for only the best for the country and the people. And a remarkably close, happy family. The truth is a great defence against even the vilest of propaganda. (All images from Mrs Sonia Gandhi's books, Rajiv (1992) and Rajiv's Story (1994).)

One non-Dalit leader that has taken unambiguous stand on Dalits' constitutional rights, Untouchablity, Reservation, and Manusmriti is @RahulGandhi; it shows Congress under him is not doing electoral calculation before lending support to justice. He has been politically brave.

BREAKING : This is courageous stuff 👏 Shekhar Suman has directly taken on Modi’s “ Dimagi Naxal” jibe on his show Shekhar Tonite and complete destroyed it. “ Never stop asking questions, every great change, development and idea started with a question , and there was a Dimagi Naxal behind it asking it” This is brutal, expect more ED and CBI raids on him.

The unsung hero, @rishav_ranjan18❤️ He has been working tirelessly in the Congress legal department, without seeking fame, recognition, or anything in return, only driven by his commitment to helping people get justice. I know him personally, and he has helped me immensely with my own legal cases too. This man is truly a gem. You will always find him standing up for the voiceless on the ground, using his legal acumen to fight for justice. Congress must be proud to have such a stalwart in its ranks, someone who quietly works behind the scenes while making a real difference in people’s lives. More power to you, Rishav❤️

Perhaps they were doing yoga.
Would like to see this judgment. Runs contrary to the English Maxim of divorce law that “when a man and a woman are alone in a closed room,it is presumed that they are not reading the bible”.

In fact we can have a category of iconic analogue or imitation whiskies, rums, gins and vodka. If we can have Sunny Leone soya chaap, why not taste-alike spirits?
Wow ! All along, Old Monk hasn't been a rum at all, but a "rum flavoured spirit", based not on sugarcane juice or by-products, but a cheap, neutral base spirit, caramel colouring & additives to pass it off as a dark aromatic rum ?!? share.google/uItsdJnUCLSHS89…

This is a devastating hitback at the PM from his own party leader, Capt. Amarinder Singh, who rips apart the PM’s senseless political smokescreen of branding the Opposition “Dimagi Naxals”. “A state unable to defeat violence cannot protect liberties. But a democracy that treats disagreement itself as a security threat risks diminishing the very freedom that security is meant to defend.”

In all this the CJI has to be complimented for the steps he has taken to protect the students who protested in an andolan which is traced to his own comments. It was a truly large hearted gesture which needs to be recognised!
