When Trivendra Rawat was elected as CM, BJP floated slogan Narendra-Devendra-Trivendra.
Now both Devendra and Trivendra are out of their chairs.

that i find ridiculous.
he is creating his own political space.
but some parties want his vote to forever be 'their' vote.
Someone asked me how come TV news is airing so much incorrect & inaccurate info
I said its because of these reasons.
1. For many, editors, anchors & reporters, this is the first really big story facing them. Maybe the last one was 26/11 where TV made some blunders...
Some people saying
@ShashiTharoor
discharge is a setback for

Wrong.
It is another resounding, echoing slap on the face of news media.

BJP says Cong manifesto is a recipe for the 'Balkanisation' of India, based on its promises on Kashmir & nat sec, saying it has been written by the 'tukde tukde gang'
Lt Gen Hooda was the advisor on that part of the manifesto.
The man who led the surgical strikes in 2017.

5. But also the fact that despite being called out for incorrect news, the viewer continues to watch these channels because he is very happy to have his most basic instinct catered to. Screw the news. Bring on the entertainment

crew in their yellow jackets and blue pants stride across Heathrow for the first time, it made me proud how India had again broken into the world's best... so sad to see it wither away...
So the new IT minister repeats that govt has not bought
#PegasusProject
Then whose job is it to find out the people behind the snooping?
Or it govt denying that there was any snooping at all?
2. TV has completely lost any semblance of checks and balances that come with news. In the rush to be ‘first’ (which no one is, TV has lost the race to digital) and also because anchors decide on air what they want to say...
Entire Hindutva and RSS ecosystem claims Sikhism is part of Hinduism.
Then it tells Sikhs to speak in Hindi and calls them Khalistanis when BJP govt is challenged.

2 things:
1. Manifestos are not worth the paper they are printed on, win or no.
2.
#VoteForVaccine
is simply undemocratic. Vaccine is for everyone, not just those voting.
NDA manifesto says free vaccine for Biharis. This is a poll promise BJP & JDU have made. Note: A Manifesto is a list of promises to be delivered IF the govt comes to power.

It’s easy to mock TV channels for simplistic megaphoning of govt.
But newspapers that I see (ToI, HT, Hindu) are all totally uncritical as well.
Today for ex, only
@IndianExpress
had some bite. Rest just wagged their tails.
4. The most publicly obvious reason is that the easiest and cheapest way is to start a polarising studio fight with a standard set of people who know nothing about the topic (
#Covid_19
is best example)...
and there is no way to stop them. 3. And because lead anchors are mostly also channel editors, they are left unchallenged by internal staff (very young, thrown into roles they are incapable of fulfilling) because everyone reports to them...
So this CAG report on

is turning into a big mystery. PAC chairman says he hasn't seen the CAG report. But SC says a "redacted"version has been shown to PAC...

’s mother fights for justice *seven* years after she was brutalised, Parliament insults every Indian woman by trivialising rape in the worst possible way.
On March 31, Government of India told Supreme Court that "no one was walking on the roads as of 11am" of that day.
It's taken 56 days for the Court to realise the lie.
Breaking: Finally Supreme Court takes suo motu cognizance of the problems and miseries of migrant labourers who are stranded in different parts of the country
More importantly it *really* hurts India’s reputation in science and tech that such a debate has broken out.
Science takes its time, it can’t follow a political timeline
‘Balancing’ opnion is nonsense.
If something is illegal, the law needs to act. Rubbish logic to say why now.
Esp by those who have no qualms calling everyone they don’t like ‘urban naxal’ and ‘anti-national’.
Complete fakery going in with vaccination slots. In the last 10 mins, two ppl I know got slots and then got cancellation msgs.

@MEAIndia
was tweeting swagger photos of ‘vaccine maitri’. Today all pictures of basic medical material being sent to India like in the 70s...
One of the saddest consequences of the Pandemic has been the effort to transform the otherwise efficient MEA into a Ministry of Lies.
Now self respecting diplomats will have to make fools of themselves abroad by sending lying protests to foreign media.
Not since the Emergency...
*Male* TV news editors who have *never* been on the metro or a DTC bus or walked on the roads are telling Delhi women whether or not to take free rides.
