Debates don’t win elections in India. Mock parliaments are for school & college kids to simulate Parliament - not for seasoned parliamentarians. The only thing that demonstrably wins elections in India is groundwork. Stop wasting your time on infantile inanities & start roughing it out on the ground instead of running abroad every week.
24 घंटे हो गए मोदी जी। मैंने आपको चैलेंज दिया है।
आप कहते हो कि opposition देशद्रोही है। किसी भी स्टेज पे आप जगह चुनिए, डिबेट कीजिए मेरे साथ।
देशद्रोही कौन है? विदेशी फोर्सेस का कनेक्शन किसका है? और किस प्रकार का कनेक्शन है? जल्दी से जल्दी कीजिए, डरिए मत।
दोनों मिलेंगे, मीडिया होगी, देश के युवा होंगे, टेबल होगी, एक साइड आप बैठोगे, एक साइड मैं बैठूंगा। जिसको आप जज बनाना चाहते हो, बना दो। मोहन भागवत जी को बिठा दो, चलो। और फिर डिबेट करते हैं।
सवाल उठेंगे फाइनेंशियल सिस्टम पर, फाइनेंशियल स्ट्रक्चर पर, US डील कैसे हुई, क्यों हुई, इतनी जल्दी क्यों हुई, सिर्फ आपने क्यों की, कैबिनेट को क्यों नहीं बताया, अडानी का केस बंद क्यों हुआ, Epstein - ऐसी बहुत सारी चीजें हैं जिसपे खुलकर डिस्कशन होगा।
आ जाइए, डरिए मत।
दूध का दूध, पानी का पानी कीजिए।
आप एलिगेशन लगाते हैं ना मेरे ऊपर, आ जाइए, सब साफ हो जाएगा।
बाकी चीजों पे आपने defamation केस लगा रखा है, शायद 45 defamation केस मेरे ऊपर हैं।
मगर इस डिबेट मामले पे, foreign कनेक्शन पे आप defamation नहीं लगा रहे हो। लगाइए ना, वहाँ भी डिस्कस करेंगे, खुल के। ये सब डिस्कस करते हैं, आइए।
हैप्पी दिवाली, मोदी जी।
It’s been 24 hours since I challenged you, Modi ji.
You say the Opposition is anti-national. Choose any stage, any venue, and debate me on this - Who is anti-national? Who has connections with foreign forces? And what is the nature of those connections?
Let’s do this as soon as possible. Daro mat!
We’ll both be there. The media will be there. The youth of this country will be there. There will be a table. You’ll sit on one side, I’ll sit on the other. You can appoint whoever you want as the judge. You can even make Mohan Bhagwat ji the judge.
There will be questions about the financial system, the financial structure, how the US deal happened, why it happened and why so quickly, why you made the deal alone and didn’t inform the Cabinet, why the Adani case was closed, Epstein - and many other issues. We’ll discuss all of them openly.
Let the truth come out. Let everything be crystal clear.
You make allegations against me, don’t you? Come forward. Everything will become clear.
You’ve filed defamation cases against me over other matters. I think there are around 45 defamation cases against me.
But on this issue of the debate, on the question of foreign connections, you haven’t filed a defamation case. Go ahead, file one. We’ll discuss that openly too.
Happy Diwali, Modi ji.

I have always maintained that the more they speak, the better.
Hindus are so pathetically forgetful and forgiving that they need this daily shot of venom to stay awake.
Keeping the commie-jihadi ecosystem’s voice loud and free has been one of Modi’s finest political manoeuvres.

Rahul ji, you ask the Prime Minister to choose a venue for a debate. There is already one: Parliament, where you happen to be the LoP.
Just yesterday, Home Minister Shri @AmitShah offered a special session to debate SIR and EVMs. Why not show the same enthusiasm for a debate in Parliament that you show while issuing challenges on social media?
Demanding answers also carries an obligation to hear them.
There have been several occasions when you and your party have walked out of Parliament while the government was responding to your allegations. How do you claim to be so eager for a debate when you don’t even stay to hear the other side?
It doesn’t stop at walkouts. You and the INDI Alliance have repeatedly disrupted proceedings, leading to entire sittings being washed out. If you are so keen on debating, why not allow Parliament to function in the first place?
And then there’s the mock Parliament you recently held at the Congress President’s residence. Frankly, that was more a ‘mockery of Parliament’ than a ‘mock Parliament’. You found the time and enthusiasm for that exercise. Surely, the real Parliament deserves at least as much.
You speak endlessly about protecting democracy and the Constitution. But that respect should also reflect in how you treat the institutions they have established.
As for the issues you frivolously raise, bring specific allegations and evidence to back them up. Simply throwing together a long list of accusations doesn’t make your case any stronger. As LoP, you are expected to show some seriousness and responsibility.
You say, “Daro mat.”
Then bring the facts, face the scrutiny and stay to hear the answers. In the House, uphold the standards of debate you demand from others.

Whether it has energised the cadre or not it has sure got the @IndiaToday editors excited. So, much so one broke into “Zindagi Ke Safar Mein..” at the CJP Diwali party splitting attention from the rally.
About yesterday - #RamlilaMaidanRally
- Ramlila Maidan was packed to the rafters
- Clear endorsement of Rahul Gandhi’s leadership of the INDIA alliance.
- Unlike in the past, Congress was on the offensive,owning its attacks on the government.
- Good rally management, Seva Dal deserving special mention.
- Impressive cadre mobilisation across alliance partners.
- Unseen iter-party cadre camaraderie
- Launch of the Uttar Pradesh campaign.
- A more united, cohesive and organised Opposition.
Biggest achievement: not just mobilising, but energising and motivating the cadre for the battles ahead.

Akhilesh Yadav admitted today at Ram Leela Maidan that the Hindu votes removed during the SIR exercise in Uttar Pradesh were essentially BJP voters. This statement is more revealing than he intends.
It is a quiet confession that the overwhelming majority of India, which is Hindu, does not vote for the INDIA alliance. The alliance’s electoral strategy has long rested on consolidating minority votes while fragmenting Hindu ones. When that majority preference expresses itself at the ballot box, the same parties that treat Hindu consolidation as a problem suddenly discover “vote chori.”
This is a politics of a refusal to accept that, in a democracy, the will of the majority prevails. India’s majority is Hindu. Large sections of that majority have rejected the politics of the INDI alliance for years. Instead of competing for those votes, the alliance cries theft the moment the numbers do not favour it.

This person and her party were kicked out of power for running possibly the biggest corruption racket in India from selling teachers’ jobs to cut money to tolabaji to syndicate money to exploitation of women to land grab to everything you can imagine.
She and her nephew are now spat upon if you mention their names in West Bengal. They dare not show their faces lest they be set upon by victims of their Regime of Fear.
She comes all the way to Delhi and has a visible meltdown. All the thievery done during her misrule she is hurling at the BJP. She is inconsolable for three reasons — the people have rejected her; she has lost the votes of dead people, those who have fled Bengal, and Bangladeshis whom she settled in large numbers.
She won elections on the strength of these three votes. SIR has robbed her of phantom votes and bogus votes.
There’s a fourth reason: money has stopped flowing in and the days of limitless biriyani are over. Nobody will buy her doodles for crores.
She is an object of pity and ridicule.

Massive success. Like I said INC is heading for a massive victory in 2027 & 2029 - at least 700 UP Vidhan sabha & 900 lok sabha seats. I have always had faith in Youth Heart Emperor Hon’ble Shri Rahul Gandhi Ji who has finally come of age, and I’m glad he will defeat this Mahishasuristic Regime

So Mamata Banerjee lets the cat out of the bag: The INDI Alliance is an anti-‘Kafir’ gang of Hindu-haters.
Voters in UP will sure make a note of this, as will voters in Punjab who are still grieving for the thousands of Sikhs slaughtered by Congress on this day in 1984.

She ruined whatever was left over after four decades of Communist rule.

For those with long memories Meira Kumar was one of India’s worst Speakers. Ever.
A dynast too.
#WATCH | Delhi: At the INDIA bloc's symbolic public impeachment program against CEC Gyanesh Kumar, Former Lok Sabha Speaker and Congress leader Meira Kumar says, "...It has been decided that the INDIA bloc will convene a meeting to bring forward an impeachment motion to remove Gyanesh Kumar from his position. This impeachment motion will be moved in the Rajya Sabha by the Leader of the Opposition, Mallikarjun Kharge, who will subsequently deliver a statement...Ours is the largest democracy in the world. Nations across the globe, in Asia, Africa, and South America, look up to us and follow our model of democracy. Our democracy is driven by the power of elections, and at the heart of this electoral power lies the soul of the voter. The voter is the focal point of the entire electoral process. If even a single voter is denied the right to cast their vote, it strikes a blow to the very soul of our democracy. Preventing someone from voting inflicts harm upon our democracy."

See? @abhijeet_dipke joins hands with @MamataOfficial whose corrupt regime sold teachers’ jobs for crores of rupees and who party thugs murdered, rap*ed and pillaged the homes of those who dared not vote for her. That hand he holds has the blood of victims of TMC Mafia Raj on it.
This chap made loud bombastic declarations of fighting to set the edu system right and ‘saving democracy’. Hence he has joined hands with a cynical politician despised for her corrupt, communal and criminal Regime of Fear.

He asks 21 days from the Delhi Courts to provide address surety. But that doesn’t come in the way of hosting his annual Diwali bash at the same 9000 sqft ground floor address. This is the problem with nouveau riche, social climbing yuppies.

At this rate, Congress should simply organise a mock general election, declare itself victorious and appoint Rahul Gandhi Prime Minister.
Why bother convincing 1.4 billion Indians when a room full of Congress workers can make all your dreams come true?
What a spectacular descent into political make-believe!
Total jokers.

How many votes did the opposition think this comedy show of a mock parliament would get? People vote for work on the ground, not for comedy. If they voted for comedy, Rakhi Sawant would be PM. After losing over 100 elections, you’d think they’d be serious?

Illegal Bangladeshis who have repeatedly voted in Indian elections confess on @IndiaToday camera as they leave Bengal due to Special Intensive Revision *SIR* of Electoral Rolls in Bengal.
Not one, not two several `ILLEGAL BANGLADESHIS' show their voter I-card as they leave Bharat
A heated exchange broke out between India Today's @gauravcsawant and @sardesairajdeep during a debate on the voting rights of alleged Bangladeshi and Rohingya immigrants in India. While Sawant claimed that they would not be allowed to vote, Sardesai questioned the evidence behind the claims and sought details. The discussion escalated as both exchanged sharp remarks, with the debate ending on the note that the truth would come out.

Wow.
India’s U20 women just pulled off a stunning 17–0 win over New Zealand in rugby.
In just 15 minutes, they shut out a major rugby-playing nation and put Indian women’s rugby on the map.
But who are the young players behind this statement win, and why aren’t more people talking about them?
