Eisenkot wants Netanyahu's power before he gets Netanyahu's job. He's targeting Parliament, courting Arab parties and preparing to undo Bibi's legacy. But Netanyahu has a survival plan of his own. #Netanyahu #Eisenkot #IsraelPolitics #Knesset

“More positive doping cases can be a sign that the system is working.” WADA’s Director of Intelligence and Investigations highlights why increased detection reflects stronger anti-doping efforts and stresses the importance of collaboration between NADA, CBI and law enforcement to dismantle criminal doping networks. #WADA #NADA #AntiDoping #CleanSport #NNISSports @ArupSG

“India is considered the world’s pharmacy, but the scale of pharmaceutical exports also presents challenges, with an estimated 10% of these substances potentially entering illegal channels.” Günter Younger, WADA’s Director of Intelligence and Investigations, highlights the need for global intelligence-sharing and stronger law-enforcement partnerships to tackle criminal supply networks and protect athletes. #WADA #AntiDoping #India #Doping #CleanSport #NNISSports @ArupSG

48 seats. 61 needed. 19 Arab-party seats in play. Eisenkot has the numbers for a possible deal. But does he have the political courage to make it? Israel's coalition paradox. #Israel #Eisenkot #Knesset #MiddleEast

TWO FEDERATIONS. ONE SEAT. A LEGAL SHOWDOWN! India's university sports system is in a power struggle. Sports Ministry vs AIU. A new federation. A High Court stay. And a massive international recognition problem. April 2027 is approaching. Will athletes become collateral damage? #IndianSports #AIU #IUSF #UniversitySports @ArupSG

184 athletes. Surprise tests. No off-season escape. NADA's athletics testing pools: 120 RTP, 64 STP. Three whereabouts failures in 12 months can trigger an anti-doping violation. What every Indian athlete should know. #NADA #IndianAthletics #AntiDoping #NNISSports @ArupSG

Khelo India ID ≠ ₹6.28 lakh in funding! Eligible athletes may receive annual support worth up to approximately ₹6.28 lakh. But registration alone guarantees NOTHING. Who gets selected? What counts? And how does the process work? Watch our explainer. #KheloIndia #IndianSports #AthleteFunding @ArupSG

Trump has the veto. Democrats have the subpoenas. Let the war begin. Investigations. Impeachment threats. Legislative paralysis. Washington's next two years could turn into a political bloodbath. But there's a catch: neither side can easily get what it wants. #Trump #Democrats #USCongress #Washington

India's share of global sports goods exports? Just 0.5%. China dominates. India imports. Now comes a ₹1,856 crore government push. Can India compete globally — or will we keep buying the equipment our champions need? #MakeInIndia #SportsBusiness #KheloIndia @ArupSG

TRUMP WANTED A REFERENDUM. HE GOT A REJECTION 38% approval. Six Senate seats flipped. Republican strongholds lost. The economy hurt. The Iran war backfired. His coalition cracked. Five mistakes that turned MAGA's midterms into a political disaster. #Trump #Midterms2026 #MAGA #USPolitics

Outstanding jamming. @SunidhiChauhan5 creates magic in any case and the tango with #ShillongChamberChoir is beautiful.

Good move. The Town and Country Planning Department deserve kudos for their action. And from what I have seen on videos, their staff come under a lot of heat but they remain steadfast. #Gurgaon #townandcountryplanningdepartment @RaoNarbir @MunCorpGurugram @NayabSainiBJP
#Gurgaon 🚨 Sealing drive in Gurugram’s licensed colonies likely to resume soon! Supreme Court clarifies no interim stay has been granted. The Town & Country Planning Department can continue action as per rules. 160+ houses already sealed across DLF, Sushant Lok & other areas. @cmohry @dtcphry #DTPE #Gurugram #SupremeCourt #SealingDrive

FOUR PODIUMS. THREE SAMPLES. ONE BIG MYSTERY Racewalking star Munita Prajapati provisionally suspended after a reported positive doping test. The substance? Not publicly confirmed. Munita's response: "How did it enter my body?" #MunitaPrajapati #NADA #IndianAthletics #Doping @ArupSG

DEMOCRATS COULD WIN CONGRESS. TRUMP IS PREPARING TO FIGHT BACK. His new nickname? MR. VETO Trump's aides have been planning for months to govern without congressional cooperation. Executive orders. Emergency powers. Vetoes. But Democrats could block appointments, investigate his administration and challenge his agenda. A lame-duck Trump? #Trump #MrVeto #USMidterms #Congress

Who says only cricketers can become superstars? A Greek pole vaulter claims 643 MILLION views in just 90 days. Here's the uncomfortable question: Are Indian athletes missing a massive opportunity by waiting for media coverage instead of building their own audience? @ArupSG #IndianAthletics #SportsBusiness #AthleteBranding #Karalis

🚨 India won just ONE athletics gold. But UP stole the spotlight 10 medal contributions. Ahead of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Gulveer Singh. Parul Chaudhary. Rohit Yadav. A new athletics powerhouse—or too early to celebrate? #UttarPradesh #IndianAthletics #AsianGames2026 #AthleticsIndia @afiindia @UPGovtSports

Bibi leads. Trump claims credit. But neither Netanyahu nor Eisenkot has a majority. And suddenly, 19 Arab-party seats could hold the key to Israel's next government. Did Bibi win the election but lose the numbers? #IsraelElection #Netanyahu #Trump #Eisenkot

IS THE STRONGMAN ERA CRACKING? Serbia's students stunned the establishment. Lula fought back. Netanyahu lacks a majority. Trump faces a midterm reckoning. Four elections. Four continents. A democratic comeback — or a false dawn? #Democracy #GlobalPolitics #Trump #ArupEdit

Please remember our friend and colleague @MUAMMAR_SUD fate is still unknown after he decided to stay in El Fasher, Darfur, to cover what would eventually be the almost complete annihilation of the city’s residents at the hands of the RSF militia. Before the fall of the city, Muammar documented the 18-month siege of El Fasher. According to a mutual friend, he had an exit strategy, but decided to stay and cover the invasion of the Janjaweed and subsequent genocide we witnessed in real time. The RSF captured Muammar on the 26th of October, 2025. Disturbing footage of him in RSF custody was released shortly after, but we have no idea of his welfare and whereabouts, since. DEMAND THAT THE RSF CONFIRM HIS FATE, AND IF HE IS STILL ALIVE, TO IMMEDIATELY RELEASE HIM El Fasher and @MUAMMAR_SUD cannot be forgotten I URGE YOU ALL TO SHARE AND AMPLIFY THIS TWEET #KeepEyesOnSudan

ONE LETTER. ONE SUSPENSION. BIG QUESTIONS Coach Yunus Khan faces an anti-doping complicity charge over an alleged recommendation letter for a banned athlete. Where does helping an athlete end and breaking the rules begin? #NADA #YunusKhan #Doping #IndianSports #NNISSports @ArupSG
