Less than 50% of 46 projects sanctioned under tourism ministry’s PRASHAD scheme completed in 10 yrs.
https://theprint.in/india/governance/less-than-50-of-46-projects-sanctioned-under-tourism-ministrys-prashad-scheme-completed-in-10-yrs/1995345/The use of the term "miscreants" in any media report about a criminal activity in Meitei-dominated Imphal Valley is a clear giveaway. "Manipur: Miscreants rob Rs 1.5 lakh from fuel station"
https://www.eastmojo.com/manipur/2024/03/17/manipur-armed-miscreants-looted-rs-1-5-lakh-from-fuel-refilling-station/Double standards? The Chief Election Commissioner used a number of dismissal orders from courts to reject concerns about EVM/VVPAT but when it comes to electoral bonds and its donors, he says their privacy should be protected despite the Supreme Court rejecting this argument.
https://scroll.in/latest/1065306/donors-privacy-must-also-be-protected-chief-election-commissioner-on-electoral-bondsI bought 2 #ElectoralBonds of Rs 1,000 each in April 2018. But the data shows my name as a purchaser of dated 20 Oct 2020. Is this an error, inaccuracy or my namesake purchased the bond. It will be a big coincidence. A unique hidden no. in d data would've cleared doubts.
The Modi govt is unwilling to even tell how many Indians exactly are fighting for the Russian army. It is also not telling why the Russians are not willing to let these men return to India.
Andhra MP from TDP who switched to BJP after ED and IT raids. His firm won the contract for a dam in Himachal and then bought Rs 45 crore electoral bonds.
This was a 600-year-old mosque. And what is the point of the court order of restoring status quo if Ramzan prayer is not allowed?
Headline says puzzle, piece tells you exactly why it has declined dramatically under the Modi govt.
The education system itself.
"...research into the DNA of present-day Indians traces our origins to Tajikistan's Sarazm."
How does it matter? As long as it can be talking point in election speeches and for massive misleading messages in WhatsApp groups, the financial loss to PSUs is not the govt's concern.
First of all, it is not Namaz row. It was a case of a Delhi police cop manhandling Muslims offering namaz. Then you have the court giving Delhi Police till May 1 to file the action taken report.
Valid point. What happens to the IDPs of Manipur who are now taking refuge in Mizoram?
This is India's largest public sector bank. If it can do this to the Supreme Court, imagine what it can do the common customers?

Five Lok Sabha seats in Jammu and Kashmir in five phases. What bigger evidence do you need about the claims of improved security in the union territory after abrogation of Art 370, Balakot airstrike, Surgical strikes and demonetisation.
"Youth unemployment rose from 6% in 2012 to 18% in 2017-18 and was still at 14% in 2022-23. At 6.1%, the unemployment rate in 2017-18 was the highest in 45 years."

Good governance circa 2024.
The naming would be wrong if history was the reason. Not if erasure of all signs of Muslim influence is the driving force.
The data is meant to serve a purpose - of providing a headline. And a narrative that many can blindly parrot. If you read it carefully, you are bound to be mystified.
Then why was the data being hidden, and the govt arguing for it. Let the truth be publicly known, and as they say, milk will be milk and water will be water.
One newspaper has in headline what Rahul Gandhi exactly said.
What a coincidence that the instinct of such chaps to donate to a political party suddenly rose after the action by ED/ IT departments which come directly under the union government.
Modi govt can stop and restart the war between Russia and Ukraine but can't get Putin to discharge Indians fighting for the Russian army. No, this can't be true, MEA.
The one prism which is even more important is the linkage to ED/ IT/ CBI action.
Either the Modi govt doesn't know how many Indians are fighting with the Russian army and wish to return, or it doesn't wish to tell the same to the people. You can decide which is worse.
Mr Shah is spreading a falsehood even here when he claims that the total bond sales were of Rs 20,000 crore when they were of only Rs 12,700 crore, of which BJP itself got more than 6,000 crore.
What does "sensitive" mean in this context? Prone to a flare-up or escalation? Or are the Chinese not willing to negotiate in any substantive way?
This is what companies do.
What kind of a BS strawman is this? How are companies maligned if the truth about their donations to political parties - often after an ED or CBI raid, or before award of a govt contract - become public? Are they denying that they gave the money?
If exports and imports both has risen, how has the trade deficit been impacted by the Red Sea conflict? Putting it in the headline provides a whiff of an excuse when none exists. China's data shows exports to India rose 39% in February. That explains a lot, but GoI silent on it.
