@SanjayBragta @p_sahibsingh Giant killer! They fought a faceless election but I think he clearly emerges as the man to lead the party in Delhi.

@ChristinMP_ That’s a massive jump in metro fares, why wouldn’t they update fares in autos/taxis so that platforms can deliver a reliable service.

Congratulations @BJP4India for a massive mandate in #DelhiElection2025 If there ever was a thing like double-engine momentum - fixing Delhi’s pollution problem will be your acid test. Fair winds and please show it can be done. #DelhiElectionResults

There are real capacity constraints - hopefully people pay heed to CM’s appeal and remain calm. #mahakumbhstampede
महाकुम्भ-2025, प्रयागराज आए प्रिय श्रद्धालुओं, माँ गंगा के जिस घाट के आप समीप हैं, वहीं स्नान करें, संगम नोज की ओर जाने का प्रयास न करें। आप सभी प्रशासन के निर्देशों का अनुपालन करें, व्यवस्था बनाने में सहयोग करें। संगम के सभी घाटों पर शांतिपूर्वक स्नान हो रहा है। किसी भी अफवाह पर बिल्कुल भी ध्यान न दें।

Thank you ANI. We know Prime Minister of India will be concerned and in touch with the CM and state authorities over #Mahakumbh tragedy - you are over covering PM’s concern and giving very little information about those injured/affected. Any update on dead/injured?
PM Modi is continuously monitoring the situation in Mahakumbh and is in constant contact with the State government. He has spoken with the CM three times till now and is giving directions for normalisation of situation and relief.

So good to see children from so many schools at the ISRO launch events. Really firing up India’s imagination!

Such a well meaning note from someone who gave the world Elon’s biography and the closest account of who he is as a person - hope @elonmusk pays heed.
With a certain amount of trepidation, I'm posting this open letter to @elonmusk, someone I have admired, but who, right now, is causing me concern. I know I'm not alone in thinking these thoughts. Please like or repost if you're willing... And Elon, if you're listening, please know this is offered in a constructive spirit. ----- Dear Elon, A thought hit me this morning. On top of all your achievements in technology and entrepreneurship, you have become this century's single most influential writer. You have more than 200 million followers on a powerful platform that you yourself control. And the words that you write flow well beyond just those followers into almost every user of X and far beyond courtesy of extensive media coverage. This makes Rupert Murdoch at his prime seem inconsequential. It must feel exhilarating. You made a huge gamble buying Twitter and it seems to have paid off spectacularly to the point that you can use it to massively impact the world, including changing governments. You believe that X can largely replace most mainstream media. It is the new platform for citizen journalism, and you are citizen number 1. You don’t need the hassle of editors and fact-checkers. Every single thing you post garners millions of likes and reposts. In a heartbeat you can change the global conversation. No one in history has had this much power. So there’s a lot at stake here, and, as it happens, journalism is something I care deeply about. I began my career as a journalist because I believed that good journalism was essential for the healthy functioning of democracy. Today I am worried — quite deeply worried, actually — that in your triumphant seizing of the global conversation, some of the core tenets of journalism are being forgotten. Without them, I think your efforts to make X the respected home of citizen journalism will fail. There are numerous journalistic principles that matter — Grok can summarize them quite nicely. But there’s one in particular that’s been troubling me. It’s the fairness doctrine. The one that says that before you publish savagely critical claims about an individual, or an institution, you reach out to them for their side of the story. After all, just possibly, you may have missed a key fact or two that would change how people assess what has happened. Just possibly your sources were motivated to cause damage to that individual. Just possibly there’s an alternative explanation of what happened. So, for example, when you tell hundreds of millions of people that someone should be hanged or jailed for outrageous crimes against humanity, just possibly you should first sound out what those who know those people really well would say about them. Some of your recent posts could literally get someone killed. Do you really want to risk that? How is it possible that you can do this at the very same time that you’re calling on people to make X more positive, more beautiful? You say you want to maximize un-regretted user-seconds on X. By far the simplest way you could do this, Elon, is simply to thoughtfully edit what you yourself post. I get that from your eyes the issues you are championing are unbelievably important and worthy of extreme efforts. But the way you are presenting them is not citizen journalism. It's playground bullying. It’s crass and it’s cruel, and it’s therefore not nearly as effective as it could be. You’re hearing the cheers of your most loyal followers, but missing the fact you’re making yourself a laughing stock among many who you really want on your side. Long-term that’s going to damage X, your other businesses, and indeed your long-term dreams for humanity. No one wants to follow a playground bully to Mars. I miss the old Elon. You can be funny, interesting, insightful and inspiring. You've fought incredibly hard for what you've built. And you may feel you're entitled to do whatever the hell you want with it. But I also know that you understand the danger of holding too tightly to the ring of power, how it can distort someone's judgement and turn them ugly. I’m hoping you can loosen that ring just a little. For the love of humanity that you profess, I really urge you to embrace the fairness doctrine and showcase a better face of X. Thanks for listening. Chris

@adityakalra Oh! I forget - apples travel wide. By the way, the Adani apple facilities are all over upper Shimla.

Thank you so much for saying it like it is. Always.
If you want to remember the lies that were told about Manmohan Singh you should rewatch The Accidental Prime Minister It is not only one of the worst Hindi movies ever made but is an example of how media was used to tarnish the name of a good man
