Last night the IT Cell shared a video of PM Modi’s roadshow in Bhubaneswar, Khordha, Odisha proving Odisha’s trust.
Truth is the footage is from Brazilian President Lula’s massive reelection celebration in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Not Odisha. Not Modi. Not even India.

"Today, India is once again in the vanguard — this time leading, perhaps, in the opposite direction....Beset as Modi is by crises within and without, his iron grip on power is clanging against the steel of India’s messy democracy."
Truly excellent from @lpolgreen

#BREAKING #SupremeCourt directs the State of Uttar Pradesh to pay Rs 6 lakh compensation to a man who was kept as an undertrial prisoner for 6 years in a murder-kidnapping case without any evidence.
6 Years was erased from the man's life on the basis of a concocted story, the Court says, noting that the UP Police did not carry out "even a rudimentary investigation".
The Court directs the State Police to educate its officers on the process of investigation, and directs that the copy of the order be forwarded to the DGP.

Hmmm Nikhil Kamath said something similar at the NDTV summit, about how India does not invest enough in science and technology. There is not enough capital outlay by Govt or Pvt sector in R&D

The #BJP’s crackdown on #protests may have done more to fuel public anger than restore fear, writes @atti_cus.

Every provocation will be met with a response twice as brutal.

Three Weeks Ago, We Were Reading Lula's Political Obituaries. Today, He is Back for a Historic Fourth Term.
Lula's task is to ensure Brazil does not need another 'miracle' to rescue it.

Bro brought down his own institution and is giving gyaan about how institutions matter. What an unbelievable farce of a man
Even in India the left is this wherever it has some presence. It offers tremendous dignity and community to countless.
The Left as column writing social media snobbery only is perhaps the only left visible to the english speaking elite who don’t have any reason to find out if it does more.

Bolsanaro had a familiar playbook in Brazil: paint Lula as an ally of crime syndicates, dismiss journos as enemies of society, and tap into people’s anxieties about the loss of traditional values. How did Lula’s party fight it? No analysis here but important to note how the Left there is rooted in culture/religion: in Catholicism that shaped struggles for workers’ rights, in the neighbourhood bar where people gather to sing samba and drink Cachaca. The Left’s strength comes from being part of everyday life.

Can a divided Brazil still talk to itself?
From a Bolsonaro rally in São Paulo to a left-wing bar in Rio, @MnshaP meets Brazilians navigating political fault lines ahead of the election run-off.

India’s capital is New Delhi. There are five oceans in the world. The current president of South Africa is Cyril Ramaphosa, and there are eight planets in the solar system.
VIDEO | Delhi: Former CJI DY Chandrachud says, "In a democracy, institutions are essential. Whether they are government-run or private, such institutions are vital. If we wish to advance and develop our nation, we must sustain these institutions; furthermore, we need to strengthen and fortify the effective ones. In the field of medicine particularly regarding patient care and welfare, public hospitals serve those in genuine need, including many who travel from far and wide to seek help. Consequently, there is an urgent need to make our public hospitals and public health infrastructure more robust and resilient."

Citizens of Mumbai cannot ask for justice against institutional murder of Dalit students.
Students of JMI can't ask for their right to union.
Indians cannot ask for accountability against vote chori & SIR.
Maintain 'peace', sit at home!!

Pilibhit - Uttar Pradesh
Kichha - Uttarakhand
Different places BUT the same malicious intend to disenfranchise voters in a targeted manner.
A BJP booth level agent filed 5,359 Form 7 objections in Uttarakhand’s Kichha, mostly seeking the deletion of Muslim voters’ names.
He claimed the ERO initially refused to accept the bulk objections but accepted them after he complained to the ECI.

What kind of a devious and depraved regime does this? Those who follow such political orders should also dare to look at themselves in the mirror.
Who is this man?
When students are not being allowed to enter JMI's gate, how did this man carrying an ITBP ID enter campus?
Such 'outsiders' have been used several times by the state to raise & write slogans in universities that are later picked up by Godi media to create mischief & derail from the demands of protests.
