Siddaramaiah Vetoes Cong High Command’s List, Drops 7 Names, Adds Two

During his conversation with Fridman, PM Modi recalled his time at the Ramakrishna Paramahamsa Ashram, where he came in contact with saints and received immense love from them.
He apprised how he developed a deep bond with one particular saint identified as Swami Atmasthananda, who became a guiding force in his life.

Swami Atmasthananda had arrived in Rajkot in Gujarat in 1966 to head the Ramakrishna Mission Ashram. A young Modi then, inspired by Swami Vivekananda, reached the Ramkrishna ashram to take sanyasa.
When Modi expressed his desire to become a monk, after spending some time in the ashram, Swami Atmasthananda told him that sanyas was not for him and his work was among people and not in seclusion.
Swami Atmasthananda advised him that his true purpose was to serve people and work for the welfare of society

AAP Convener and former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s propaganda attempt falls flat. Here is what happened.
#Thread 🧵
Little after 8:30 am on Thursday, Kejriwal tweeted a link of ABP blog by one Hari Shankar Joshi titled: “AAP सरकार की योजनाओं से दिल्ली के हर व्यक्ति हो हुआ औसतन 30 लाख का फायदा और ये जुमला नहीं है।” It was an opinion piece. Except, within hours, the said article could not be accessed. 1/n

Interesting #Thread 🧵on alleged India Today journalist Rajdeep Sardesai (@sardesairajdeep) and his biased reporting on #MaharashtraElections2024, which he terms as “Bimaru state”
Rajdeep Sardesai once again jumps into the India Today debate with his propaganda over watering down infrastructural developments by Mahayuti in Maharashtra.
According to him, voters should “move away” from seeing Maharashtra through its “lengths and breadths” 1/n

Ex-RAW official Vikash Yadav has been declared ‘wanted’ by the United States’ FBI accusing him of being involved in the alleged assassination plot of Sikhs For Justice terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
While the US has not provided any evidence to back the allegations, some Indian opposition leaders are pre-maturely passing the judgement as they raise questions about their own country and government!
A Thread 🧵👇
TMC MP Sagarika Ghose — continuing her agenda of questioning the Indian government against foreign forces — raises questions as to why the Indian government is not behaving like a country who follows rules-based order.
Without any info she directly raises aspersions of ex-RAW official being made a ‘fall guy’. Is this how an MP should behave?
