I've now attended hundreds of Indian politicians' project inauguration speeches in the last decade.
BUT this is a first!
Minister @nitin_gadkari goes off-script at NHAI building inauguration. Asks what is there to congratulate? Vividly describes the rot inside.
So many gems here. Reminds me of Mussadi Lal and Office Office. @nitin_gadkari
The entire @nitin_gadkari speech and the link via @muglikar_. Worth your time. Describes babus in the dept as "non performing assets" and "vishkanya" mentality. Wonders how they manage stick around without any consequences. Worth your time. 👇🏽
bhrasht, nikamme...
Oh! This was still stuck in my draft...
50-60 crore ka choona to pakka lagaya hoga...

And yes, fair to question @AmitShah on this emerging situation. He's the home minister. #Lockdown21 may have been a good, necessary step but the least he can do is coordinate -- or force -- all state govts to ensure immediate safe shelter or transport for these migrants. #Covid19
Seeing reports that @UPGovt finally arranged some buses overnight and more now for 100s who've reached there walking from different parts of #Delhi. Maybe even @ArvindKejriwal should arrange some buses (maybe just for a day/ two) to drop them at UP border:
Spent a few hours today afternoon on the road outside Anand Vihar bus terminal at the Delhi - UP border. Crazy visuals. Tens of thousands of people. More coming. Mostly on foot from across Delhi. Lots to criticise both @ArvindKejriwal and @myogiadityanath govts. #Lockdown21
So just spoke with Prof Yamani Bhushan Tripathi (he, not she, as identified in some stories) on this #BhootVidya course. He's dean of the dept & this is how he described it: "Bhoot Vigyan is not related to ghosts. It is a misnomer & being misunderstood by society & media." 1/6
"It is about dealing with psychosomatic disorders from the Ayurvedic point of view, because in original Ayurvedic texts it is described as a disease of consciousness and soul -- which is sub divided in 16 types." 2/6
"We just borrowed the name as mentioned in the original and ancient Ayurvedic texts by Charakh. All our study and evaluations will be done based on scientific parameters, physiology and modern biochemistry." 3/6
Even with so many diverging views about rival parties, both @BJP4Karnataka and @INCKarnataka supporters have an almost similar position on cm @siddaramaiah's state flag move. Most I spoke with in this region expressed discomfort on flag push. State pride, yes. But 🇮🇳 is flag!
