Nobody could have predicted the pandemic and the havoc it wrecked in our lives. As we seek to take India to the front rank of nations in a post-pandemic world, we are proud to be led by PM Narendra Modiji. #SolidlyWithYou
Under his leadership and mandate to deploy science for common people, Indian scientists worked tirelessly to develop the indigenous Covaxin. We faced criticism for doing it, with people questioning the efficacy of the vaccine. But we marched on under him. #SolidlyWithYou

Pandemic apart, we are also witnessing a wave of paid Congi trolls, who would have us believe that the government is a failure and had there been a Congi PM, things would have been much better.
It's an unprecedented crisis. A pandemic of gigantic proportions. For the sake of argument, let's take our memories back to 2013 when Uttarakhand faced devastation due to flash floods.
25,000 people had died. Many were stranded, waiting for rescue or imminent death.

Now that it is clear that the people protesting the #FarmBills have been misused like pawns by organisations such as ‘Poetic Justice Foundation,’ which are open supporters of Khalistan, we should step back and understand the true ramifications of this situation.
When do organisations such as PJF become active?
When they sense weakness in a country which is on their radar. India is an agrarian country. Agriculture has always been a sensitive issue, close to the heart of every Indian. #IndiaAgainstPropaganda#IndiaTogether#India

अब जब यह स्पष्ट हो गया है कि कृषि कानूनों के विरोध में जो लोग खड़े हैं उनका इस्तेमाल "Poetic Justice Foundation" जैसी संस्थाएँ कर रही हैं जो खालिस्तान के बारे में प्रचार करने वालों की खुली समर्थक हैं, एक क्षण रुक कर इसके दूरगामी परिणाम के बारे में सोचना आवश्यक है। #IndiaTogether
PJF जैसी संस्थाएँ हरकत में कब आती हैं? जब उनके निशाने पर जो देश होता है उसमें कमज़ोरी के लक्षण दिखने शुरू हो जाएँ। भारत कृषि प्रधान देश है। कृषि से हर नागरिक का भावनात्मक जुड़ाव है। #IndiaAgainstPropaganda#IndiaTogether#India

As the #NationalWarMemorial is inaugurated, it becomes important to put this in perspective. During my tenure as the army chief, I had written to the then PM on multiple occasions to give the soldiers their due & build the war memorial. (1/n)
Unfortunately, my requests fell on deaf ears & a helpless man offered little explanation to why we couldn’t build a memorial. Today @RahulGandhi & his party must explain why we could do something in 5 years, but, it couldn’t be done by the @INCIndia for decades (2/n)

Someone shared this poem with me which has apparently been written by a boy in Ambala. Captures the true sentiment of courage, conviction & selflessness of the armed forces, please read:
We both left home at 18.
You cleared JEE,
I got recommended.
You got IIT,
I got NDA. (1/n)
You pursued your degree,
I had the toughest training.
Your day started at 7 and ended at 5,
Mine started at 4 till 9 and
Some nights also included.
You had your convocation ceremony,
I had my POP.
