Early prediction for #WestBengalElections2021: Unless @BJP4India makes any major mistakes in cadidate selection & election is fair; #BJP hs distinct edge. Poor ground level organisation in South Bengal & complacency among boothlevel leaders are only weaknesses. @SandipGhose 1/n
Near zero resentment in BJP over 1st list of candidates. Very few late inductees found place. Only 4 candidates of Shuvendu. Almost all r free from major charges of extortion, corruption. Only 1 filmstar. #BJP shud follow example in future lists. #WestBengalElections2021 2/n
#TrinamoolCongress standing on weak wicket hit by a cocktail of anti-incumbency, subaltern Hindutva, eroding trust on #Mamata. Failure in law & order, dadagiri, extortion & throttling of residual democratic space aftr #Left rul killd TMC's perspects #WestBengalElections2021 3/n

To all #Mumbai citizens
From our cyclone #Amphan experience in Kolkata few days back, pointers ! #Nisarga

1. Fill extra water buckets
2. Charge your phones and battery packs to full
3. Be prepared to lose electricity, internet and phone network for 2-5 days.
4. Get mosquito and insect repellant as water logging will increase bug infestation around you.
5. lastly in case of rain accompanied with 100kmph wind, water will find its way through window gaps at home and office. Be prepared with towels to cover those gaps.

Good luck 👏🙏🏻

Keeping any eye on these thunderstorm cells.. may touch n go #Hyderabad if upper level winds favor
@pavanpuli1234 @Rajani_Weather Image
Western parts of Hyderabad may receive moderate rainfall during next 1hr
@Rajani_Weather @pavanpuli1234 @HiHyderabad Image
Convergence was unfavorable over Hyd. N & SE parts of Hyd still received light to moderate rain.
However the good news is moisture incursion from the Bay has already started after #Amphan has squeezed it all last wk. Expect showers to increase going forward.

#CycloneAmphan cracked Sundarban's lifelines: embankments. Why are these vital? Thread 👇Maybe we need to be more imaginative in how these lifelines and lives on the peripheries are reconstructed @moefcc @MamataOfficial @MahuaMoitra @India4Climate @UNEP @WWFINDIA @SanctuaryAsia
This is a photo I took in 2017 when the concrete embankments post #CycloneAila had just been constructed. The #Embankment Reconstruction Project was allocated a whopping Rs 5,032 crore/ GBP 562 million funded by @WorldBank to build cement and block walls @sayantanbera
After #AmphanSuperCyclone, several of these concrete embankments, 5 meters high and 30-40 meters wide, concretising 35,000 km peripheries of #Sundarbans
have collapsed, broken, and in many places have taken massive chunks of the riverbed down with them @GhoshAmitav

Those who are abusing me, Bengal CM, other Bengalis because I simply tweeted that the Prime Minister should help in this hour of #Amphan crisis, you guys can be all the great things you claim to be but not Indians. Please stop playing politics in the middle of this devastation.
No one blamed the PM for the cyclone. He is a very powerful man but even for him to orchestrate a cyclone of this severity is bit of a stretch. Was only asking for some attention and help in this hour of catastrophe which has unfortunately been missing.
The state government is doing its bit from what I hear. If the centre also helps out, maybe the healing will be faster. This is not the time for us vs them. It's the time to join forces and help save a state of the country, which is in dire straits.
