@SaibBilaval There are other well-entrenched cottage industries folded into the NITI Aayog, so it isn’t going anywhere soon.

@nikstankovic_ Over the 1960s through 1980s, 3.5M people were forcibly resettled by the Apartheid regime into Bantustans. That number in Palestine - though 'resettle' isn't the appropriate term - is 1.3M over the events of 1948 and 1967.

@prasanto @manishasinghal The Air India Express crash of Aug 2020 at Kozhikode did occur a few weeks after Taneja was fired from AirAsia India (Jun 2020). However, the safety culture in the 2 firms _may_ be assumed different, since it took 18 more months for them to come under the same proprietor.

@zoo_bear In 2008, Modi as Chief Minister had dared the Manmohan Singh Govt to stop all Central funding and to let Gujarat state spend the taxes it generated on its landmass

@catale7a @sanjayuvacha 1 of these 3 couples is interfaith, even, with the wife being a former CPI students union leader.

@aneeshp @TRE_320 @airindia Perhaps by “passports” the Zurich police meant Swiss passports, the kind that would let them leave the airport premises.

@_sabahgurmat @sanjayuvacha It is another matter if the information about such couples is safe in Govt officials’ hands, but even in states like UP the ‘public notice’ phase appears to have been done away with.

@andymukherjee70 @opinion Notice “would all be juicer targets”: *juicier ?

@INCKerala GenAI is the great leveller and is likely to permit any TDH to write a computer program (or produce a movie, for that matter). Hence it should be quite OK for folks like Sunil Shetty and Karan Johar to be headlining.

@jamie_raskin The real power grab will come in 2029, when Elon Musk will formally run for President. In any case, much of the policy apparatus will do his bidding 2025-29 for him to claim ‘results’ and amplify via controlled platforms such as X (or even FB, and newspapers like WaPo).

@WordTale @sanjayuvacha Sheela Bhatt said in 2023: "I remember one of his classmates, who is a lawyer now. I called her some time ago when Arvind Kejriwal and Congress were posting a lot on Twitter, calling PM Modi illiterate. I asked her to speak up but she chose to stay quiet"

@virsanghvi He’s been rolled out since the explicit sort of campaigning for Delhi polls has closed.

@venkyHQ At 1.23L ‘pay in pay band’ for Level 13, plus 53% DA - wouldn’t it get to Rs 1.88L, pretty far beyond Rs 12L per annum ?

@d_feldman The 1st-term Mitch McConnell was among the Republican senators who cast a vote to overrule President Reagan's veto on sanctions against Apartheid SA (Oct 1986). India and Canada had moved in August.

@sardesairajdeep Disturbed Areas Act was legislated in Gujarat in 1986, to check distress sale of property after riots. Amendments have since turned the Act's application political and its extension mechanical. 70% of Ahmedabad is now said to be covered by the Act.

@IRWatchdog A blurb from the AIMS conference at @IIMAhmedabad, 2011. Co-author of the paper "Succession Planning in Ramacharitmanas", Rajeev Sijariya, is a JNU Professor since Dec 2020. He is accused of demanding Rs 1.8Cr bribe - and even sharing a draft inspection report as proof of goods
