    In this video Kangana Ranaut is giving full credit to Mahesh Bhatt & Mukesh Bhatt for making her an actress, giving her so much “izzat” & dignity. How toxic politics changes people!

    Rahul Gandhi suggests in Lok Sabha this is a government of “Hum Do, Hamare Do”. He didnt name “Hamare Do” but an angry BJP member got up and chose to name them. Thus fulfilling the opposition’s wishes!

    After Urjit Patel, now former Deputy Governor RBI, Viral Aacharya,says in a new book that Modi govt asked RBI to go slow on corporate defaulters and sought an easy policy to help them. Modi govt’s claim it was harsh on crony defaulters turning out to be a sham!

    Rajiv Bajaj, MD of Bajaj Auto says if the politicians are going about their business unhindered & without observing any protocol why shut down businesses and hit livelihoods? Good question.

    Pilgrimages like Joshimath, Kedarnath etc were designed to be remote & must entail some hardship(tapasya) before pilgrims reach there. Making four lane highways by blasting through mountains to enable mass tourism goes against the very idea of a spiritual quest.

    Can’t understand FM ‘s logic. She insists Yes bank loans are UPA period loans. Then how have they increased 400% since 2015? An increase from Rs.55,000 crore to Rs.2,40,000 crore in 4 yearsduring Modi period. Did Manmohan Singh sanction?Can’t seem to have a rational discourse!

    African countries have formed a African Union Vaccine Trust to negotiate a bulk deal to buy 220 million doses of Johnson & Johnson. Sovereigns are coming together to get the best deal. In India sovereign is fragmenting itself to buy vaccines from abroad.

    Rafale fighter aircrafts delivery is being hyped up by Tv channels as if India never had fighter aircrafts before. When cutting edge Mirage 2000, Rafale’s precursor, came to India some decades ago even Doordarshan didn’t create such hoopla!All govts routinely buy such equipment.

    Union minister Nitin Gadkari has just told a news channel that India has had two pillars of democracy - Nehru & Vajpayee. He said both had great respect for opposition. Statement comes amidst worst ever ties between ruling party & opposition. Leave rest to your imagination!
