So Justice Sikri of the Supreme Court of India is an institution-breaking, Emergency-loving, lathi-wielding, knicker-wearing, akhand bharat-dreaming, gau mutra-drinking, Modi-worshipping fascist today. #CBIBossSacked
Mr Nageshwar Rao arriving this morning to take charge as Director, CBI.
A mass contempt of a sitting Supreme Court judge is happening right before our eyes, the insinuation being that Justice Sikri ruled the way he did in the CBI matter because of a quid pro quo that involves a plum posting.

The end-game is upon us. Everything is kosher. Brace up.
I applaud Justice @mkatju for digging out the truth, voicing his opinion based on hard facts, and standing up for his colleague.

If the Editor of Print has an iota of shame, he would publicly apologise for carrying out this, most execrable witch-hunt.

"UPA using central agencies against my party, government." - @MamataOfficial, 2013. indiatvnews.com/politics/natio…
Mukul Roy aide quits party, says TMC not clean, alleges involvement of his boss in Chit-fund scam: indianexpress.com/article/cities…
NO ONE comes out clean in this, least of all the CBI that remains as servile and caged as it has always been.

But the fact that this is an SC-ordered investigation, and that Modi never obstructed the CBI when he was the CM, saves him the blushes. Not so the case with Mamata.

This is exactly what I am referring to. The govt is giving the people jigsaw pieces, hoping they would come together over coffee and assemble these to be able to see the final image. It needs to assemble these pieces on its own. Give out one, clear, precise, number.
Mudra is yet another jigsaw piece, like the EPFO and Ola and Samsung factory and other sundry anecdotal jigsaw pieces. All the govt needs to do is to assemble these and give out one precise number. That it isn't doing so is revealing in itself.
One more jigsaw piece.

Calling a report published by your own ministry as fake? NSSO data has been trusted for decades. 91% (GOI est) of Labour is in the informal sector. EPFO data cannot tell you what NSSO can. Job creation (hard data) and unemployment (survey) are coexisting. RELEASE the NSSO report.
Right now, the only way to gauge unemployment in the 485 million Labour Force, 91% of which is in the informal sector, is via a survey. This is not hard data, like EPFO. If we handed out unemployment dole, we'd know the number precisely. @ncbn has just launched the dole scheme.
Narrative was bound to shift, from Jobs created to Unemployment. Because
A. The opposition will only highlight bad news, perhaps rightly so.
B. The govt has never given a precise number of TOTAL jobs (formal and informal sector) created.
C. No mechanism put in place to gauge B.

#BREAKING: NY Supreme Court throws out Trump’s motion to dismiss @NewYorkStateAG Underwood’s Trump Foundation lawsuit: iapps.courts.state.ny.us/fbem/DocumentD…

As the AG’s lawsuit detailed, the Trump Foundation functioned as a personal piggy bank to serve Trump's business & political interests
Some highlights from the decision:

Justice Scarpulla finds she has jurisdiction over Trump.

She also denies the motion to dismiss on statute of limitations grounds or due to Trump’s claims of political bias, “given the very serious allegations set forth in the [AG’s] petition”
Scarpulla also finds that AG’s petition sufficiently alleges breach of fiduciary duty, as well as our claim that Trump intentionally used Foundation assets for his private interests knowing it might not be in the Foundation’s best interest.

She denies Trump request for discovery

BREAKING: Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein denies a NYT report that he suggested last year he secretly record Trump to expose chaos in the administration. According to the Times Rosenstein also floated the idea of trying to remove Trump through the 25th Amendment. apnews.com/e84a4acdb42641…
Rod Rosenstein should know better than to joke about something like the 25th Amendment. Especially in the era of Trump.
McCabe memos say Rosenstein considered secretly recording Trump

Friends, #RahulGandhi spoke in #CongressPlenarySession on @INCIndia only saviour of #judiciary from the wrath of @narendramodi . Let me tell you-

The Story of an Upright Judge
Once, decades back, when the millennial was not even in dreams, 30 years post independence, Congress PM, Indira Gandhi imposed #Emergency. Media was censured and all opposition thrown in Jail.
What it meant for young kids understanding is that you could be on your way for Tinder date at CCD and Police could pick you up under MISA and jail you for year or more before bail. #Emergency
