BJP MLA From UP Recommends Drinking Cow Urine to Stop Coronavirus, Gives 'Demo' ~ @News18India

But, who is this Surendra Singh and why does media love him so much?

A 🧵of his previous statements ~
1/ 2017: Protest against Yogi Adityanath: patrika.com/ballia-news/bj…
2/ 2018: Comparing prostitutes with govt officials: indiatoday.in/india/story/pr…
3/ 2018: Victim shaming in Unnao rape case :
newindianexpress.com/nation/2018/ap…
4/ On Mayawati:
5/ 2019: A communal comment about Lok Sabha election:

6/ 2020: On stopping rape: "All parents should teach their daughters good values"
Apart from these, he has made several other controversial statements.

He has a Master's degree, has been a teacher in an inter college and MLA from Bairiya Assembly, Balia in UP.
Click-hungry media keeps giving this man the space, and BJP still considers this leader to be worthy of being 'representative' of people.

Imagine the choices available for the people of his constituency, that people chose HIM to represent them.

What a sad state of affairs.

We need #CentralVistaProject because:

1. Our MPs will increase in 2026
2. Our parliament is not future-ready
3. Its not officially earthquake-proof
4. There is a travel-time between buildings
5. It misses on a lot of new tech, which we can't fit
6. The who area is poorly planned
The new #CentralVistaProject plans to solve all this.

We have been planning this for years and allocating money for it.

How exactly is stopping this project suddenly will help in COVID? Those who are opposing the project, have no answer for it.
They are asking to stop #CentralVistaProject because it sounds good to hear.

The project is not only for current govt. Its for all the future govts. Its for India.

While COVID is a crisis we need to deal with, that doesn't mean everything else should stop.

GNCTD amendment bill 2021 is not very complex but AAP and BJP have a 180 degree difference of opinion on the very same bill.

here is what I understand —
India has three type of states:

1. full-state
2. UT
3. UT with assembly and limited powers [Delhi falls here, along with J&K, Puducherry]
This limited power is the reason why full-statehood has always been demanded in Delhi, but it has its own complications since the country's govt is also run from Delhi as well.

Therefore, full statehood dream has always been promised, never fulfilled.

what he is referring here is ECA amendment 2020

it removes pulses from the list that makes it illegal to stock beyond certain limits.

however, same law mandates if retail prices increase more than 50% over the average of the last five years, the stock limits can be put again.
the amendment has been made to the law of 1955. back in the day we we dependent on imports, now we have enough stock.

allowing stocking of these produces allows for better export planning and more players investing in storage facilities in supply chain (we lack them now)
even harshest critics of farm laws and present govt, praised ECA amendment 2020 and agreed that archaic laws of 1955 were irrelevant today.

the safety-net of restricting stocks if prices rise beyond certain limits has been put to prevent exactly what Delhi CM is saying.
