Media pundits always say that digital is future. But when I see the conduct and writings of many journos from digital media in India, I feel scared. The latest video of a woman from @thewire_in shows her merely masquerading as a journo. She is a political activist with agenda
Maybe she is hired exactly for this. Or maybe there are little checks/references when people come on board in digital. Both scenarios are scary. Bias in writing is open. Objectivity of reportage not needed. And this is future of media envisaged by the founders of @thewire_in
Sharjeel Imam use to write for digital media portals. Isn't this enough indication of the rot inside the newsrooms (if they exist) in the digital media? Did anyone cross-checked? Did anyone found out his links? Who tried to mainstream his views?
The entire conduct of media in #CAA_NRCProtests has been questionable. No one is doing journalism. Everyone is allowing the fake narrative on what is #CAA to be peddled for their own agenda. In this mess, Deepak Chaurasia is not 'good' journo and Arfa is. What a mess

As the cops surround #ED's #Mumbai office, those shedding crocodile tears for #SanjayRaut must make a small attempt to understand the #PatraChawl scam. It is a classic case in which politicians and builders destroy the lives of poor residents to make millions. A thread
Siddharth Nagar, popularly known as Patra Chawl, is located in the northern Mumbai suburb of Goregaon. It had a total of 672 houses, spread over an area of 47 acres. In 2008, the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) took up the redevelopment project.
MHADA gave the contract to Guru Ashish Construction Private Limited (GACPL) to rehabilitate 672 tenants and to redevelop the locality. A tripartite agreement was signed between GACPL, the tenants’ society and MHADA for the redevelopment of #PatraChawl.

प्रश्न - आपल्या उत्पन्नाचे साधन काय ?
उत्तर - हा महाराष्ट्राच्या स्वाभिमानाला विचारलेला सवाल आहे .
प्रश्न-आपल्या उत्पनापेक्षा जास्तीची मिळकत आपण मिळवली आहे असे बँकेच्या स्टेटमेंटच्या कागदपत्रांवरून स्पष्ट होत आहे.
उत्तर- मराठी माणसाने पैसा मिळवला की त्यांच्या पोटात दुखते..
हा महाराष्ट्रद्रोह आहे , बरं का !
प्रश्न - अस्तित्वात नसलेल्या कंपनीचे आपण मालक असून या कंपनीच्या खात्यावर एकाच दिवशी 40 कोटी रुपये कसे जमा झाले आहेत ?
उत्तर - मी कुणाच्याही बापाला घाबरत नाही, घाबरणं आमचा धर्म नाही , महाराष्ट्र झुकणार नाही!
प्रश्न - आपण संचालक असलेली कंपनी नेमके कोणते उत्पादन घेते ?
उत्तर - आम्हाला कुणी अक्कल शिकवू नये. आम्ही बोलणाऱ्यांचे दात घशात घालतो, महाराष्ट्र बघतो आहे याचं भान ठेवा!

Love when Delhi journos do this romanticism of #Mumbai in the Congress mouthpiece.
So here is my two paise take (I'm born and brought up in this city):
Mumbai is dead long ago. We are choked. The blame should be on 'secular' Sena. They have ruled us for 35 years and messed it up.
#Bollywood is just one industry based in #Mumbai. It is under attack on the war on drugs. But truthfully, it is dishing out shit for years. The war is that people don't want to see this shit despite the opening of multiplexes. That's the war Bollywood has to win. Will they?
The magnetic appeal of #Mumbai was - connectivity, opportunity and work culture. Our infra is choked, projects are blocked, real estate is expensive and other states have better opportunities. So the millennials are moving out. Who is giving permissions for high rises in slums?

Watched 'The Iron Lady' over the weekend (again) and the conversation between Margaret Thatcher (Meryl Streep won an Oscar for this) and her doctor has never been relevant than today as the woko haram takes over entire public discourse. You are in or cancelled.
Thatcher: 'One of the greatest problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas.
Now, thoughts and ideas, that interests me.
Watch your thoughts, for they will become actions.
Watch your actions, for they'll become... habits.
Watch your habits for they will forge your character.
Watch your character, for it will make your destiny.
That's what my father told me...'

#BestCM to chair cabinet tomorrow and sources state that the statewide lockdown could well be extended till May 15. But the bigger issue facing #MVA is whether to give vaccines free for all citizens. And the internal mess in communication (as usual) has made things worst
Loud mouth Nawab Malik has already announced the free scheme. Prince did the same and deleted the tweet. #BestCM seems to be in favour, but the finance ministry held by Ajit Pawar seems be more worried about the Rs 7000 crore 'burden' on the state. So what will be the final call?
The state budget is over Rs 3 lakh crore, fixed deposits of BMC are around Rs 60,000 crore. Then why this indecisive approach till the last few days? NCP is over excited to cancel loans of farmers all the time, so why talk cost now?
Truth - there are NO elections in #Maharashtra
