Congratulations to President Lula on a stunning, historic re-election.
A political comeback that will be remembered for generations to come.
This is a victory for the people, for the planet and for peace.

Also, a fine journalist. Saurav Das was the first to put in public domain how two judges’ children are lawyers on Govt panels, in a clear case of conflict of interest. And that good piece on D Y Chandrachud.
Thinking of @SauravDassss today. Always meets with a smile- has a cosy life in Delhi; could've been out doing pandal-hopping like the rest of us but is in jail today for putting skin the game. Don't care about the details of his politics at this point, he's braver than most here.

So much for changing scheme name and claiming to plug ALLLL leaks with aadhaar linking, biometric, geotagged photo, digital oversight etc etc etc
Look at the ghosts that @tabassum_b found working under VB-G RAM G
In drought-hit Maharashtra, thousands working under VB-G RAM G scheme - on paper
On ground, @tabassum_b found no workers at five sites in Beed. Those named on the muster roll were not aware of work orders issued against their names. Nor did they know where their wages were being credited.

The strategy deepens.
Leave no stone unturned. No door left unknocked. If the CJI can't meet, rightly so, then see him across the aisle.
BREAKING: Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, files petition before the #SupremeCourt over alleged large-scale voter deletions and irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
The Opposition has demanded a halt to SIR and the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged 'vote chori'.
@RahulGandhi

It seems that the police and the paramilitary forces have been told that you can do whatever you want to do with the press and protestors till a particular time, before the Supreme Court and the SG do their playacting. Shades of 24 hours given in 2002, as @NirjhariSinha recounted

At least six more journalists detained, shoved into a van by Delhi Police as they were asking the cops about the detention of a journalist moments ago at the same location.
One of them identified himself as a reporter from the Hindustan Times. At least three others are from Kerala, from Reporter TV and 24 News.

Great news. The detention of the CJP leaders from the airport yesterday was totally illegal. Not informing their families & lawyers about their arrest & preventing them from meeting their families or lawyers only compounded this illegality

They turned what would have been a contained zone of protest into a capital-wide region of protest. Masterstroke 267542!

This is a shameful statement, especially for a distinguished jurist. You are a disgrace @ShivAroor for saying this
