1/ The Reality of Tax Terrorism
Did you know that a salaried individual earning ₹40 lakh annually in India pays over 50-60% of their income in taxes? Direct taxes, GST, excise duties, and hidden levies leave the salaried class with little to save, invest, or spend freely. Let’s break it down 👇🧵
#AbolishIncomeTaxImage 2/ Direct Taxes: Crushing Burden
Income Tax alone takes 21.9% (₹8.75 lakh) of a ₹40L salary. Add a professional tax of ₹2,400, and it starts to sting. But this is just the start. High tax slabs (30% on income above ₹15L) have not been revised in 15 YEARS, despite inflation and rising costs.

Narendra Modi
5-6 years from now, when India faces a financial crisis, this man will be remembered as one of the architects of its downfall. To secure electoral victories, he has institutionalized reckless freebies—feeding 80 crore people with free grains under PMGKAY, handing out ₹68,000 crore annually through PM-KISAN, and distributing ₹2.5 lakh crore+ every year across various schemes. This is not welfare—it’s economic sabotage! A nation cannot thrive on endless handouts.

With questionable inflation, unemployment, and GDP numbers, it makes him the weakest link and the chief architect of India’s economic fall. History won’t forgive you! 👎

The PMGKAY scheme has killed the rural economy, especially agriculture. Farmers are struggling to find labor as everyone gets 5 kg free grains per month, and women get ₹2,000 per month through PM-KISAN. This “freebie culture” is enough to feed families without work, turning people into freeloaders and making them lazy. With no farm laborers, the backbone of India—our farmers—are collapsing under the weight of these populist schemes. This isn’t progress; it’s economic decay.

A 37-year-old Karnataka government officer named Pratima was hacked to death in her own home. She held the position of Deputy Director in the Mines & Geology department. 😢 Assailants broke into her residence while her husband was away and brutally ended her life. The incident has been reported at the SubramanyaPura Police Station in Bengaluru. We also face similar threats when we expose the real estate mafia for their encroachment of lakes & Rajakaluve. 😡

Image Can you recognize this location? Is it picturesque? Well, it's located in Electronic City Phase 1, just behind Neo Town. This area used to be home to a 200-meter mountain, but now it's a stone quarry. They've mined the mountains and sold the land to real estate, and you can spot 10-15 similar quarries in Electronic City that were once natural landscapes with mountains.

Dear @BBMPCOMM and @BBMPAdmn,

You've called upon citizen groups to report lake and Rajakaluve encroachments. Here's the biggest encroachment of the year. A prominent builder is developing a tech park on the Rajakaluve and the buffer zone of Bellandur Lake, a potential disaster in the making. This project threatens to block the crucial channel connecting Bellandur Lake and Varthur Lake, reminiscent of Manayata Tech Park or Eco Space Tech Park. This venture endangers the Rajakaluve, which was a major factor in the infamous flooding of 2022. We implore you to take unbiased and swift action to safeguard our future generations.

Croma Road is a Rajakaluve
Croma Road is the primary Rajakaluve that connects Bellandur Lake with Varthur Lake. Our team created a Rajakaluve map by compiling multiple screenshots from the Dishank App. Check thread 🧵.

Here is the Google Map of Croma Road. Please note that the entire road is a Rajakaluve with a width exceeding 20 ft. Additionally, some portions of Balagere Road also serve as a Rajakaluve. It's perplexing why our city planners never considered preserving these. Image

Hon. @rashtrapatibhvn, @narendramodi,@CMofKarnataka & citizens of Karnataka,
Today we are going to tell you the biggest nature scam of Bengaluru in recent times. Where a million years old live hill is being flattened to favour a private builder in collusion with political system! It’s in RR Nagar. Adjacent to Hosakerehalli Lake through which a illegal road is being built. It is near Shanmugan(Aarmugan Temple) in RRnagar. They are making a layout on top of it. To access the layout, they are building S-shaped road to hilltop. 2/n
