Covid Diary: I was having such fun during lockdown with photo shoots with peacocks and mocking rivals in rallies. But now I have to put on dull, sober masks and pretend I am solving nation’s problems
Dear Diary, I hate international media. Hate them! Hate them! Hate them! They have revealed that I am fudging Covid numbers and have reported on our crematoria operating 24x7, and bodies being burnt on pavements and car parks.
They have also publicly shamed me for holding election rallies in West Bengal and called me reckless, irresponsible, and a super-spreader—just a little more polite than the bad things my party louts called the Tablighi Jamaat in 2020.
I have now briefed my party louts to spy on international journalists and discover their dirty secrets so I can fix them.
That’s how I tamed Indian mediawallahs—I have ensured that I matter more to them than their mummies and daddies.
See how they’re still defending me although their families and friends are dying of Covid, lack of oxygen and lack of drugs?
I am their lord, their god and they will blindly support me or else AS will do his thing.

On October 21, the Central Medical Services Society, an autonomous institution under the @MoHFW_INDIA floated a tender online calling for bidders to establish Pressure Swing Adsorption oxygen plants in 150 district hospitals across the country
It seems unlikely that the delay in kickstarting the tender process was caused by a lack of funds: the outlay for 162 oxygen plants (12 plants seem to have been added later) is just Rs 201.58 crore.
On the status of 162 oxygen plants for which contracts were given in 2020, all it said was that they were “being closely reviewed for early completion of 100 percent of the plants”.
A new report by a leading US digital forensic company offers ‘irrefutable’ proof of arrested activist Rona Wilson’s devices being hacked & explains how 22 files were planted.
These files have, since 15 November 2018, been cited, initially by the Pune Police and then by the National Investigation Agency(NIA), as key evidence.
This evidence led to Wilson and 15 others—including lawyers, academics and artistes—being arrested and jailed without bail!
The files were never created, opened or used by anyone who directly handled Wilson’s computer, but the HACKER used a software to PLANT THEM, said the new report from Arsenal Consulting.
They analysed an electronic copy of Wilson’s computer on a request from his lawyers.
You should understand the tax regimes first to understand the nuances.
Price Build up of Petrol (Ex-Delhi)
There are two sets of taxes are levied on the Petrol, first is by Union Govt, which is collectively called Excise Duty and Second one is the taxes imposed by the State Government called Sales Tax.
First of all understand that both taxes are distinctively different tax regimes
Let us first understand how the Union Government tax works.
It is a specific tax or unit tax, that means it is a FIXED amount levied on per litre of the Petrol, ie, it is not affected by the price of the fuel in the market.
Tarlochan Singh, an elderly farmer, summed up the mood, saying:
“It is not merely about a few legal infirmities in the laws. It is the philosophy of governance that will trigger a national crisis, a situation that will widen the conflict between the rich and the poor...
If this direction is not changed, we may be heading for civil war in this country. We have to understand the nature of the threat first; it is not about legalese, it is about life.”
“Everybody is going to be affected — the small businessmen, the agriculture workers, the consumers. We don’t need governments, courts and committees to tell us what our pain is.
Why is the government doing such a favour that will endanger our lives?
