The Whole World should thank Brazilians 🇧🇷 ❤️ Most people have no idea how important these elections were. It was the difference between saving the Amazon Rainforest or its total destruction in the hands of Trump’s oligarchs. The lungs of the Earth are safe, for now 🤞

The CJP Protests in June have sparked a million mutinies in the country. The Vote chori by Gyanesh Kumar has now become the biggest issue in post independence India. It strikes at the root of our democracy. The govt’s attempts to protect their parrot Gyanesh by suppressing protests are backfiring & only increasing public anger which is now on the boil

Dear, please sit down. It's someone else's turn now...
An accurate electoral roll is not merely an election requirement. It is a matter of national integrity and, ultimately, national security. India cannot afford electoral rolls compromised by duplicate, ineligible or improperly enrolled names. SIR strengthens the credibility of the democratic process by putting accuracy and verification at the centre. The Election Commission must be allowed to do its constitutional duty without political intimidation. Those demanding stronger national security should have no objection to stronger electoral rolls.

#Important: Just two days ago, an entire PR blitz was organised at a DU college for the Prime Minister. Today, DU students are dead, severely injured, and trapped under the rubble of Satya Niketan horror. And not a SINGLE WORD from the Prime Minister. He had words to once again call questioning youngsters “dimagi Naxals”. Words to demonise a generation that protests, questions and demands accountability. But not one word for young lives buried under rubble. Students are again back on the roads to protest because those in power, like you, force them to resort to this. And then you call them Naxals! Guys, these people in power simply don’t give a DAMN about youngsters forced to live like cockroaches. Hindu-Muslim. Mandir-Masjid. “My Gen Z vs Your Gen Z”. This is their politics and it never stops, no matter how many young Indians keep paying with their lives. One day has passed. Why no word for the students who died? A prayer for their families? An assurance that every trapped student will be rescued and every survivor cared for? An assurance that every official and political person responsible for this tragedy will be held accountable? When a tragic school or college shooting takes place in Canada or America, India’s Prime Minister is one of the first ones to issue a statement. Then why this distance from your own students sir? This is the LEAST any citizen should expect from their Prime Minister. Apparently, even that is too much to ask. What a disgusting state of affairs.

🚨#BigBreaking The Campaign for Judicial Accountability and Reforms (CJAR), consisting of eminent lawyers and civil rights activists led by @pbhushan1 have demanded immediate resignation of BCI Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra. The call for @MishraManan01’s resignation has grown even louder with this statement. Why should there be no probe into the financial decisions of the BCI Chairman, especially when Co-chairman’s morning letter accused him of misappropriation and sought his resignation on that ground? So far, associations associated with the NALSAR and NLSIU law colleges have condemned Mishra. Bombay Bar Association, independent lawyers at a protest, Co-chairman of BCI, and now CJAR have demanded his resignation. @Cockroachisback

What if all legal cockroaches come together?
#BREAKING BCI Chairperson Manan Kumar Mishra says that no student who graduated from NALSAR University of Law will be enrolled until further orders from Bar Council of India. BCI Chairman seeks report from NALSAR on students who mobilised a campaign to not invite CJI Surya Kant for convocation.

PM will definitely be making cost-benefit analysis of funding the lifestyle of godi-media anchors. The absolute loss of credibility is now a liability for BJP.
Godi media is in much bigger trouble than the Modi government - if their credibility is so low that they cannot influence anyone other than Sanghi boomers, their political masters will dump them, and their advertisers will follow.

A large part of the success of this youth movement which has shaken the ruling establishment, helped shed fear of the government and police, and raised the issue of education reforms in this country, is due to the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party @abhijeet Dipke, its two extraordinary spokesmen @sauravdas and @ashutoshranka, and some of the other extraordinary students like @nehabora who also sat on fast. Of course, the role of Sonam Wangchuk who fasted 26 days and mentored this youth movement has been exemplary. It is due to these extraordinary youth leaders who have a great future in the youth movement of this country, that we have been able to achieve this day. Hats off to all of them. They have led with courage, commitment, fearlessness & above all, great humility. I also salute the lakhs of young people who gathered in Delhi and across the country with patience& non violence, braved enormous hardship, and set a wonderful example of what it is to be a citizen in a diverse multi religious country, our India.
