We need to highlight this anamoly in public space
While industrialists like Subhash Chandra walk away with a 'haircut' of 99.97%; under the new IT amended rules defaulting farmers can be sent to jail for 40 days. This is how the System is loaded against farmers. Thanks @kbssidhu1961 punjabnewsexpress.com/punjab…

महाराष्ट्र में सूखे से किसान परेशान है, आज से महाराष्ट्र के बड़े नेता सूखाग्रस्त इलाकों का दौरा करने वाले हैं, वहीं दूसरी तरफ कल रात मंत्री जयकुमार रावल अपने बेटे के जन्मदिन को एकदम बॉलीवुड स्टाइल में मना रहे थे.. आगे जाकर बेटा नया नेता बनेगा और सूखाग्रस्त किसान इसे साहब कहेंगे! पहले ऐसी स्टोरी टीवी पर खूब चलती थीं, आजकल किसी को फर्क नहीं पड़ता

13 करोड़ बाहर कर दिए गए। अगर उन सभी को इसी तरह लेख लिखने दिया जाता तो कैसी तस्वीर बनती? SIR में अपना नाम कट गया तो दिखाई देने लगा। पता चलता है कि दिल्ली के पचास जाने माने लोग 13 करोड़ लोगों पर भारी पड़ रहे हैं। उनका कट जाए तो कट जाए, हमारा न कटे क्योंकि हम एक्सप्रेस में संपादकीय लिख देंगे।
सुरजीत भल्ला प्रधानमंत्री मोदी की आर्थिक सलाहकार समिति के सदस्य रहे हैं, दिल्ली में रहते हैं दशकों से, वोट भी दिया है लेकिन ज्ञानेश गुप्ता का सॉफ्टवेयर इन्हे वोटर मानने को तैयार नहीं है.
देश भर में 13 करोड़ मतदाताओं के नाम काट दिये ज्ञानेश गुप्ता ने जिसमे कुछ एक को छोड़कर सुरजीत भल्ला जैसा रसूखदार तो नहीं होगा.
ज्ञानेश गुप्ता को लोकतंत्र की हत्या करने का लाइसेंस सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने दिया है SIR जैसे गैरकानूनी काम को मंजूरी देकर.

Extremely important: Gen Zs are not being enrolled to vote ever since the 2024 general elections.
DESPITE legal opinion and two (majority) of ECs asking for the rolls to be opened for younger voters.
@anubhutivishnoi - in addition to @RitikaChopra__ and @DaminiNath
The CEC-ECs standoff taking toll, breaking long held conventions
No annual Spl summary revision of electoral rolls from 2025 on - Gen Z new voters waitlisted
Despite both ECs urging SSR repeatedly; June timeline well overshot
Bihar to poll bound UP, Goa kept waiting
Also- admin stalemate- ACRs of several officials kept pending as the top brass of ECI won’t do it together as required

Study Links Glyphosate to Higher Risk of Preterm Birth. Every threefold increase in #glyphosate residue level meant about 35% higher odds of preterm birth overall; when you home in on spontaneous preterm birth, the odds roughly doubled. beyondpesticides.org/dailyne…

An imported pacemaker costing Rs 25,000 is billed to patients at over Rs 2 lakh. MRP is inflated at 10 to 30 times on an average, says #RajivNath in @IndianExpress, Sept 21.
The Court was shocked to note the huge markup of over ten times in the prices of medicines, and asked why the authorities were silent. Read more: zurl.co/rQBGt

Farm incomes have been stagnating for decades. Not only policy makers, but even agricultural economists and scientists keep quiet on this extent of income inequality.
Boasting about record foodgrain production while farm incomes stagnate & climate shocks multiply is agricultural self-delusion.
@MoRD_GoI Over 60% of a farmer's income must come from non-cropping activities just to survive?

बाजरे की सरकारी खरीद नहीं होने की वजह से किसानों को अपना बाजरा 2100-2300 रुपए में बेचना पड़ रहा है जबकि MSP 2900 रुपए हैं। एक तरफ महंगाई लगातार बढ़ रही है और MSP पर खरीद ना होने से किसान को नुकसान हो रहा है।

बाजरा उत्पादन में राजस्थान अव्वल, दाम दिलाने में पिछड़ा।
हरियाण में भाव 2750, लेकिन मंडियों में 2000-2200 में बिक रहा बाजरा.

हम विकास के नाम पर शहरों का विस्तार कर रहे हैं, ऊँची-ऊँची इमारतों वाली कॉलोनियाँ बसा रहे हैं और चौड़ी-चौड़ी सड़कें बना रहे हैं, लेकिन प्रकृति को होने वाले नुकसान को लगातार नजरअंदाज कर रहे हैं। इसके दुष्परिणाम आज हम सभी भुगत रहे हैं

The MRP robbery must stop. Its time to fix a Fair and Authentic Price (FAP) which reflects the genuine price of medicines as well as medical devices. The nation has lived with MRP rampage for long now.
There are essential medicines for cancer for which MRP is ₹27000 and PTR (price to retailer) is ₹2700. That’s absolute rampage and carnage and broad day light dacoity with the patients. How can a patient be cheated for a medicine which the manufacturer sells to the retailer at ₹2700 and MRP is printed at ₹27000? It is surprising that the authorities who are supposed to take a decision on this are absolutely silent. We need not spell out the reasons for that: Supreme Court

#ExpressInvestigation | SIR, which began in Bihar in June 2025, an otherwise routine clean-up of the rolls, has struck more than 13 crore names off the draft voter rolls in 30 States and Union Territories. This has put the Election Commission at the centre of intense public debate over its role in deciding who gets to vote — and who doesn’t.
An investigation by The Indian Express reveals that questions were raised on these very issues within the three-member Election Commission itself, time and again through much of this same period. By two of the three Election Commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, no less.

Observing that private universities cannot be permitted to function as profit-making institutions, the Supreme Court has directed private universities across the country to disclose their five years' audited financial records, utilisation of funds, fee structures, surplus investments and payments made to persons not directly involved in educational functions.

Tatas have Rs 650 crore to earmark for a “Temples Museum” but no money for meaningful teaching and research at #TISS ?
Sadly private institutions’ priorities are now changing along-with corporate shenanigans.
IMPORTANT: TISS dismisses 55 faculty members, 60 non-teaching staff at 4 campuses without notice, says no funds from Tata Education Trust.
This includes half the teachers at its Guwahati campus, some of whom had been working there for over a decade
