April 6, 1980... BJP was formed under the leadership of Atalji. Congratulations to #BJP on the occasion of their 43rd Foundation Day. 43 years and counting. From just 2 MP seats to an outright majority in 2014, the story of hard work, perseverance, [1/8]
organizational building capabilities, and countless leaders who worked tirelessly to build the party is an inspiring one. The "never say die" attitude and personal branding that various leaders built around themselves - be it Atalji, #Advaniji, #PramodMahajan, [2/8]
Poonam Mahajan, and countless others are waiting in the ranks, getting trained. #BJP did not have any pre-independence legacy like Congress nor great leaders like Panditji. It is an example of dedication, hard work, honesty, and working for the people. [4/8]
The single-minded focus and execution are something I admire about this party. They always understood the market requirements, needs, and pulse of the people and kept producing leaders who could resonate with the and the public.[5/8]
A party or organization will start to decline after the second generation unless there is a chance for upward mobility and opportunities to grow for the party worker. When power, money, and control accumulate at one family or one group of people, [6/8]
what you get is a bunch of "yes" men who always nice on the face and rooting for the fall of the central power center behind the scenes. That is the reason why we rarely find quality in the third generation of family-owned parties. Look around, and you have enough samples. [7/8]
Whether one likes #BJP or not, there are definitely some lessons to learn from them. Once again, happy anniversary #BJP. Keep going! [8/8]

The dust seems to have settled down. I am referring to the discussion around the #BJP-#AIADMK 2024 poll alliance. Ever since reports of Annamalai’s intention to go alone in 2024 came out and subsequent contradicting statements from some senior BJP leaders, [1/7]
everyone seems to have understood what Annamalai is thinking. After his meeting with HM in Delhi, he seems to be more assertive and confident. The seniors in the party also seem to have got the message. This is what happens with a strong leader.[2/7]
The questions from #media, statements from #AIADMK leaders, #Twitter trolls, etc. seem to have toned down. AIADMK seems to be on the defensive. the new leader still seems unsure of himself. There is a sense of artificial camaraderie in the AIADMK camp.[3/7]
De-dollarization is a widely discussed topic, with many headlines, YouTube videos, and expert talks suggesting that the world faces a threat of economic catastrophe. (1/6)
The American economy is said to be collapsing, and the rupee is predicted to replace the dollar as a preferable currency going forward. Reports suggest that the American banking system is also collapsing, and BRICS countries are planning to introduce a new currency, (2/6)
leading to predictions that the world will dump the dollar in the next few years. While India's growth story is undeniable, it does not necessarily mean that India will lead the world stage from tomorrow morning. (3/6)
Ten years - isn't it enough time for an individual, organization, party, or a system to redeem itself? 2014 was an important year for the grand old party - the year its ego got dented, and the year when cracks were left wide open. (1/5)
It was in dire need of a leader who could be trusted, turn it around, and put their life on the line. It was an opportunity to clean house, cement the cracks, provide a vision, and inspire the cadres. It was important to come out of the comfort zone. (2/5)
The yatra should have started right after the 2014 defeat, without much media glare. The period from 2014 to 2019 was an opportunity to travel and connect with people from various walks of life across the country, meet workers at the grassroots level, (3/5)
"I was hesitant to write about politics. I used to question my capabilities. But when I saw a few jobless people, an ex-constable, and a doctor turned political commentator, I decided to give it a try. Here is my view. (1/8) -
I saw some statements from few seniors in the press after KA expressed the point on clean politics and other matters. Everyone is parroting that the high command will decide about the alliance, but they forget their active role, which is to provide enough information, (2/8)
do groundwork, and strengthen the ground presence, enabling the high command to make an informed decision. First of all, these guys never worked on the ground until the young boy took over. They lack leadership qualities, aggression, and the capacity to inspire others. (3/8)
