As anti-incumbency against Modi picks up due to falling economy & COVID,
BJP has decided that they must control Social Media like they control Media to remain in power.
FIR against Twitter is the first major action taken by BJP in its quest to stifle FoE using the new IT Rules.
BJP has understood that Online FoE is the last barrier that needs to be brought down for it to dominate people's mindspace with its own narratives & cut out opposition voices.
BJP already controls the Media with most journalists being sarkari mouthpieces. SM is it's target now.

206 people work in Bengaluru's South Zone COVID War-room. 17 of them are Muslims.
Our PM really CARES a lot about India's poor & middle class!
India has the Highest Taxes on Fuel in the World
🇮🇳 India : 69%
🇩🇪 Germany : 63%
🇬🇧 England : 62%
🇨🇦 Canada : 33%
🇺🇲 USA : 19%
Why not bring Fuel under GST and tax it at 18% or even at 28%?
And where is all this massive tax money going? Statues? BJP IT cell? Ads? Buying MLAs?

Do you know that the @narendramodi govt is changing Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) regulation via a new draft notification which dilutes norms that infra/construction projects have to adhere to?
This will have a devastating impact on our environment!
#ScrapEIA2020
The new EIA is pushed through by the @narendramodi govt in the midst of the Corona pandemic so that citizens, activists and stakeholders cannot voice their opinions and organise people against it?
Why in such hurry Modiji? Are your corporate friends forcing you?

Does Delhi Police have answers? Or it's just random now? Shah has given you free pass to do whatever you want is it?

Huge foreign policy setback as Xi announces support to Pakistan on Kashmir just ahead of India-China Mammalapuram summit where he is meeting Modi
Remember, China had backed Pak even at UNSC & UN General Assembly
Not internationalization of Kashmir?
1/n bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
During Xi's visit in 2014, when Modi hosted him in Gujarat, several MoUs about setting up of Chinese industrial parks, mega infra projects etc were inked. It was also agreed to reduce the trade deficit.
BJP & Media went gaga over it. 5 years later, nothing has materialised.

Suspicious box was offloaded from the PM's helicopter in Chitradurga, Karnataka today.
It was rushed to a waiting Innova, which then sped away
The question is,
Why was the box not part of security protocol?
Why wasn't the Innova part of PM's convoy? Whose car was it?
(1/n)
What was in the box?
Why was it hurriedly taken to what looks like a private Innova car?
There seems to be something inexplicable happening which needs answers.
Will the media ask these questions? Will the Election Commission check the contents of the box?

PM Modi mocked Karnataka's Farm Loan Waiver yesterday. One can only laugh at his lack of knowledge as Karnataka has implemented the most transparent system of waiver to ensure only deserving farmers get benefited.
In this thread, I will explain how. RT & let @narendraModi know.
Congress-JDS govt announced a loan waiver of up to ₹2 lakh per family a few months ago. Govt decided to come up with a Crop Loan Waiver Software which verifies all documents & ensures only farmers who are eligible get the money directly transferred to their loan account via NPCI

On July 30th, Modi notified a 25% increase in customs duty on Solar panels. This is bound to increase solar power tariffs by 30 Paisa per unit.
Why did Modi do such an anti-Consumer move? The Modi Govt says that it is to protect domestic manufacturers of Solar Panels. But here are the facts:
1) Indian Solar Power producers import 90% of their panels to keep costs low.
