Maharashtra Chief Election Officer S Chockalingam has stated that they are ready to conduct elections with ballot papers in some constituencies.

WHY you ask? Let me explain 🧵 It all has to do with Maratha leader Jarange Patil and max no. of candidates EVM machines can accommodate.

Jarange has declared that his supporters will fill hundreds of forms for Lok Sabha Election 2024 from each constituency.

The whole Electoral Bond saga may be murkier than we thought. Let me break it down. 🧵

What the CJI is saying is that the link between purchaser & beneficiary party need not be direct. For eg: A buys the bond. Gives/Sells/trades it to B. B then give it to C. C finally gives it to the party 'P' which encashes it.

From the SBI data all we can get is name of A and P. This means that any number of 'middlemen' could have been involved we would never know.

This gang of scums was apprehended by Delhi police for selling fake chemotherapy injections to cancer patients. 🧵

They filled empty injection bottles with anti fungal medicine worth ₹ 100. Then this injection was sold for ₹ 1 to 3 lakh to chemo patients.

Two of them are pharmacists in a renowned cancer hospital in Delhi. This duo would sell empty original injection bottles to the gang who then refilled it with the anti-fungal medicine.

You might find this 🧵 'boring'. But I want you to read it anyhow. Because it really matters.

1. In the last 7 yrs India's workforce has aged so much that the share of 45+ people has gone from 1/3 to 1/2 of total now. 2. In the same period Youth Population (15-29) grew by 2.64 crore. However, the number of Employed youth fell by a staggering 3.24 crore.

In 2016-17, 10.34 cr people under the age of 30 were in the workforce. By 2022-23, this number had fallen by over 3 crs to just 7.1 cr.

A person named Vijay Patel claimed that his 'team' has prepared a report where they expose 40 fake news spread by @zoo_bear.

So I decided to go through this report myself and guess what? It is HILARIOUS. Read on to find out more about this 'Fact-check' report 🧵
Claim no. 1 is that Zubair made a false claim about Uttarakhand CM Roadshow.

But guess what? Zubair had only QTed News posted by NDTV. Apparently, NDTV posting fake news is Zubair's fault. He should be jailed for it. 😭

Have you heard about the Boiling Frog Syndrome? 🧵

It serves as a poignant metaphor for the gradual erosion of citizens' rights to governmental authorities. 1. If you suddenly put a Frog in boiling water, it will immediately jump out and escape. But what happens if you put it in normal water, then slowly bring it to simmer till it starts boiling?

The gradual rise makes it blind to change till it's too late. The frog cooks to death.

Reality of Gujarat Model. Work Conditions.🧵

1. In Gujarat 93% workers are in informal and traditional sectors with low incomes & low social security.

One of the reasons it attracts businesses is because of the low wage rates, lower even than that of UP + relaxed labour laws.
2. According to RBI Data, Gujarat ranks 17th (out of 20) on the list of average daily wage in rural areas for non-agri labour.

Gujarat avg is Rs 239, compared to Kerala’s Rs 677. While U.P. is 286 and National avg is Rs 315.

Reality of Gujarat Model. 🧵

1. When it comes to School Education, as per ASER Report (rural) 2022 Gujarat (govt) students rank last in India when it comes to reading simple English.

Only 8.2% of children in Class 5 can read sentences like ‘I like to sing’.
2. 52% Class 8 students studying in government schools in Gujarat state are at Class 2 proficiency level where it comes to reading (mother tongue).

In 2018, this was 72%. So things went downhill during the pandemic.

Reality of Gujarat Model. 🧵

1. When it comes to Nutrition, Gujarat ranks 3rd.
That is, 3rd Worst State. Right behind Bihar & Jharkhand.

38.09% of Gujaratis are malnourished.
Even poorer states like UP, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh & Rajasthan fare better : NITI Aayog Report




2. Mortality rate for children under five years of age is 37.6 per 1000 live births in Gujarat. Comparatively, it is only 5.2/1000 in Kerala.

In Infant mortality, Gujarat is 2nd. From Last.
With 12,119 infant deaths this year.

You must have seen this 'Modi most popular Global leader' poster everywhere by now. So let's take a closer look at the survey & the company which conducts it.

And no, dear Andhbhakts, it doesn't mean that 78% of the world loves Modiji. 🤦‍♀️
1. To makes this clear, they survey a sample of INDIANS for Modi's rating, Brits for Sunak etc. Which essentially means that out of the Indian sample surveyed by Morning Consult 76% gave him favourable rating.

This has nothing to do with 'Modi's popularity in the world'.

Read on to find out 'the who' and 'the how'.
On 1st glance, it seems like they are normal people who just want to put their view point across.

These aren't abusive trolls/bots like the usual Rs 2 IT cell crowd. These people can actually string 2-3 coherent sentences together.

Here's an example from comments on my Tweet:
