On one afternoon of June 2003, I was to attend an IT hearing of a case of my employer’s client at ITO; as the concerned officer was running late, I was roaming around the corridors of ITO on 2nd floor, when I saw a poster-PARIVARTAN POSTER-exhorting public to avoid giving bribes.
Aware of the needs of my profession, I was a reluctant CA working in a consulting firm for obvious reasons. So the contents of the poster did capture my imagination. When the concerned ACIT turned up,I asked him about the poster in the corridor. He laughed & asked me to ignore it
But when I probed further, he said : “hain ek mahaanubhaav jinko faaltu mein hero ban ne ka shauq hai- kiya aajtak kuch nahi hai lekin footage poori le rahe hain - poster laga kar.” We both laughed and started discussing the content of the case, I was representing my client for!
Well @PrashantKishor is like that cricket player of a test playing nation whose only claim to fame is that he has scored in a match involving Netherlands cricket team. Note his track record since 2015 onwards.
2015: @PrashantKishor , true to his classic modus operandi, chose Bihar as his redemption game. Going by pure arithmetic, Bihar with JDU- RJD combine was to be a walkover…however he cudnt make BJP bite the dust as evident from this. An alliance of inconvenience didn’t last long
Win in Bihar helped him score his personal goal by becoming an advisor in Govt and a MP; but in the process Bihar suffered ….. favourable media with enmity against Namo, began projecting @PrashantKishor as next big thing…his worst was yet to come!
Hate for Modi & Yogi cussed many members of Indian media fraternity, political commentators & analysts of all types, kinds and shapes,to use their official position to campaign for @samajwadiparty. Let us take a look at all these folks pimping for @yadavakhilesh- thread follows
When it comes to pimping for @yadavakhilesh - first and foremost name that comes to mind is that of @rohini_sgh - check this tweet as below
Here is official handle of @INCMP - it is other matter that total votes polled by @INCIndia in UP is less than the total votes pollled by @Gen_VKSingh in Gzb seat in 2019
Between 2015 and 2021, @ArvindKejriwal Govt closed 16 Govt schools - yes he didn’t build one but closed 16 - yet this man can lie with impunity as he has bought media silence by funding Indian media.

He has not built one hospital in Delhi but then this @ArvindKejriwal lies with impunity all the time as media has given him free pass on his claims full of lies
Games US played in Ukraine via Tymoshenko, Yushchenko and that Comedian Zelenskyy to build on the gains of the destruction of iron curtain in Eastern Europe has finally found a match in Putin wall. Do check Russian National Strategy of 2021 for some signals! #UkraineCrisis
Last year when that strategy came out, several geopolitical experts called that strategy a paranoid charter for the way document recognised how unfriendly countries are weakening Russia militarily,technologically, economically & spiritually and called for measures against that
Earlier strategy document - Russian national security strategy document of 2015 (that came right after Ukraine went other way after throwing out of Yanukovych & his subsequent exile to Russia) - was more conciliatory & spoke of the need for constructive relation with US & allies
Quoting old tweets from Mar 14- right after Ukrainian revolution of Feb 14. That time Maidan revolution led to ouster of Viktor Yankovich and the start of what has now become a full blown crisis in Ukraine but genesis of this crisis in truer sense goes back to 2000s!
Lot of people are talking about Chernobyl as a reason but fact remains that Chernobyl has always been used as a lever in Ukraine to precipitate a crisis or justify one. Psychological damage caused by this incident of 86 is so huge that it is easy to create a narrative around it
But in reality Ukraine has, from early 90s has been a sort of a quagmire in which this state has been sinking thanks to its location that this country’s politicians has been leveraging to play on the Russian- NATO fault line.
