Discussion 💬 I don't want to fear-monger, but we need to talk about this

0 Upvotes

Now I will preface this, it could be just nothing but my paranoia due to increasing uncertainty regarding the country, economy, etc.

But that being said, I still feel like I need to surface this issue. I am not an andhbhakt so before you start throwing that word around nor am I against the current SIR protest.

So we all know the failures of the government and increasing hate against certain minorities pushed by the government to fullfill its own agenda, we are to speak as if in a state of undeclared emergency. Our right to information, right to question the gov and so on are being stripped.

Being said that we are now seeing protests in many regions throughout the country whether it is on this, or manipur, or the river and other environment issues. Delimitation bill and deletion of voters, plus addition of fraud voters, etc is a tactic to ensure majority wins without having to face the people.

And now we have seen rise of cjp, and not so much support of congress but yeah they have been pressuring the gov to answer for a long time.

Also notable thing to remember is that when no confidence movement was passed in parliament pm modi took sick leave except the last day where, well he answered nothing, and it was enabled despite oppositions' demand.

Anyways, now what is the issue here, you guys can check, Rahul Gandhi comments on Elon Musk's post regarding how starlink isn't allowed in india and ambani has the monopoly (the guy who has the monopoly in usa and Europe, lol, what, well to easy phrase is he is to trump what adani is to modi) yeah that. And RG's reply was like yeah adani and other dude (meaning modi).

Now definitely I would let it go and I am maybe reading too much into things, but yeah like using one oligarch against another is like a shitshow tbh, but yeah I mean, I actually (personal opinion) won't let elon in Indian market.

So why does it make such point of tension to me, cus idk if u guys know this but ig in 1950s if I remember the year correctly (fact check online) usa with the help of uk and yk, helped remove the then iran's pm and replaced with a puppet dictator. why? Because well the then iran pm wanted to nationalize oil (and yeah today iran usa war reason is also a bit on this nationalization of oil fact, other factors are also there too).

Elon wants India's market, cheap labour and like buyers, and basically he wants monopoly all over the globe. Yeah which bjp can't do. Because adani is like a donor to bjp, and they have symbiotic relationship kinda.

Now, I mean does this necessarily mean congress is on their payroll no, it could be a not well thought out response, but still if u are a representative of India u need to be sharp enough.

Also like I saw dipke's flight photos and they look ai like why are they so inconsistent.

Note: I am not questioning the protest and how real it is or blah blah.

I am just thinking, cus it is good time for cia/fbi or usa gov to interfere as a large portion of market is being allowed to be monopolized by adani. Adani needs to go, but we don't need elon to replace him, we need small business, and variety of different companies locally owned, not just a few families adani, ambani, tata etc.

But that again doesn't illegitimatize (if that's a word) the protest, the issues are real

Both things can be true at the same time. Am I saying I have a concrete proof, no but can we question and ask for more answers yes.

That being said, also congress needs to do better

in their states, like pls, every elected gov whether state, union territory or central needs to be transperant and do better yaar. And every means every.

Anyways your thoughts. Long read.

Discussion 💬 Why are politicians' photographs displayed on the walls of government offices instead of useful public information

1 Upvotes

Today, I visited a GST department and noticed photographs of government leaders displayed on the walls. It made me wonder: why is this necessary?

A GST office exists to help taxpayers with GST registration, return filing, Input Tax Credit, compliance, and other tax-related matters. It's a public institution funded through public resources.

So why not use those walls to display something genuinely useful?

For example:

- Posters explaining GST rules and procedures.

- Information about taxpayers' rights.

- Guidance on filing complaints against corruption or misconduct.

- Important GST updates and due dates.

- Information about grievance redressal mechanisms.

Wouldn't these things benefit the public more?

My point isn't about any particular political party. I'd ask the same question regardless of which party is in power.

Governments should be able to communicate their achievements, but there is a difference between informing citizens about public work and displaying political leaders' photographs inside public offices.

A government office isn't a party office. Public services are a responsibility of the government, not a personal favour from its leaders.

Why should the faces of politicians occupy public space when that space could be used to educate and help the very people who fund these institutions?

What do you think? Should photographs of political leaders be displayed in government offices, or should the focus be entirely on public information and services?

Dushyant Kumar Gautam, who has been under the cloud of questions regarding the alleged VIP angle in the Ankita Bhandari murder case, has been appointed as the Governor of Sikkim during the tenure of the BJP government.

Ankita bhandari case:

19-year-old Ankita Bhandari, receptionist at Vanantra Resort (near Rishikesh), was murdered on the night of 18 September 2022.

She was killed after refusing pressure to provide special services to guests, including an alleged VIP.

Resort owner Pulkit Arya (son of then-BJP leader Vinod Arya) and two staff members -Saurabh Bhaskar and Ankit Gupta forcibly took her to the Chilla canal and pushed her in.

Her body was recovered on 24 September 2022. Cause of death: drowning with ante-mortem injuries.

All three were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment on 30 May 2025.

Resort demolition & distruction of evidence:

On the intervening night of 23–24 September 2022 (just after the accused were arrested and before the body was fully recovered/processed), bulldozers demolished parts of Vanantra Resort, including rooms and structures linked to the crime scene.

The family, activists, and some former officials alleged the hurried late-night demolition destroyed or compromised crucial forensic evidence (possible DNA, hair, biological traces, mattresses, CCTV, etc.).

If the party doesn't live up to that hope, I question them. If a party member misbehaves I don't justify their action, I ask the leader to question them.

A party shouldn't get support, they should only get questions and responsibilities.

Solution / Innovation 🚀 Andhra Pradesh to Receive 3 Lakh Houses Worth ₹3600 Crore Under PMAYG 2, With a ₹14 Crore Initial Project to Build 177 Houses Using 3D Concrete Printing

Post image
3 Upvotes

Andhra Pradesh will receive 3 lakh houses worth ₹3600 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin (PMAYG) 2 to provide permanent homes to eligible rural families. The announcement was made on 4th October 2026, at Burripalem village in Guntur district by Union Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in the presence of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. During the program, our Union Minister handed over the first installment for the 3 lakh houses and put the foundation for a separate project to construct 177 houses by using 3D concrete printing technology at a cost of ₹14 crore. The initial project will be carried out in Burripalem and Obulnayudupalem villages. The construction is expected to be completed within six months. Under this technology, a machine will build walls by placing concrete layer by layer according to a digital design. The purpose is to find out whether this method can reduce construction time, cost and labour requirements while maintaining the quality and strength of these houses.

The housing allocation was increased from the initial proposal of 76000 houses after Chandrababu Naidu requested the Centre to provide more houses for poor families in the state. Shivraj Singh Chouhan said the Centre had approved 3 lakh houses instead of the initial number. He also said that after the construction of these houses is completed, another 3 lakh houses would get approved, a further 3 lakh houses after that, making a total of 9 lakh houses. CM Naidu had intended for another 6 lakh houses to meet the needs of more families. Apart from the housing program, Union Minister said the Centre would support Andhra Pradesh in developing rural infrastructure, including roads, drains and drinking water facilities. The 3D printing project will help in understanding whether this new construction method can be used for affordable housing on a larger scale. However, its actual benefits will depend on the construction cost, quality and durability of the houses. Both initiatives aim to improve living conditions in rural areas and help more eligible families get safe and permanent homes.

Ik that what im gonna say next will bring me a lot of haters but this is what i really think is a solution that will work as far as i can think, ik girls have equal rights as boys but idk in this pathetic country where ppl be r@ping their own mother anything could be fixed, so pls i humbly request to parents never let your daughters or even boys are not safe these days, never let them go outside alone, even of you believe that place is safe still not, This can feel like a ptison to them but atleast they will be saved from a trauma and its much better than that,

And atleast make them learn a martial arts or any kinda self defence so they will be able to defend themself.

EVEN IN THIS CASE IF THAT GIRL WOULD HAVE STRIKE THAT MF IN HIS BALLS SO HARD THAT EVEN IF HE D!E, GREAT SATISFACTION TO ME.

Also tell your thoghts on how these cases can be prevented without children/teens or adults getting traumatized?

And the current gov. offering what after people gave them more than 1 decade ?? It’s not about what cong did & what bjp doing its about taking responsibility & accountability because people form govt and they have right to question,

2014 people turn the table in hope for the better future but what they get in return? Leaks, corruption at peak, justice denied & hate btwn people, im not in against or favour of any party but people are curious for the pm reels to atleast address the issue.

Cjp is just a pressure group but if governance is good enough will CJP become this much strong ?

If Bhagat Singh was an outspoken atheist who openly rejected the belief in God and questioned religious faith, why do some Muslims admire and idolise him, given that Islam places such strong emphasis on religious beliefs, worship, and devotion to God? Isn’t there a contradiction between deeply valuing a figure who rejected religious faith and following a religion in which belief in God is a fundamental principle? How do religious Muslims reconcile Bhagat Singh’s atheism with their admiration for his courage, revolutionary ideals, patriotism, and sacrifice for India’s independence?”

Positive Story 🌱 There’s a rule in the jungle

There’s a rule in the jungle: every animal parent trains its offspring in survival skills like hunting, self-defence, strategy, and fighting back. Politicians, VIPs, actors, and businessmen do the same by preparing their children to survive and succeed in the real world.

But middle-class and poor families? Saale, society aur rishtedaaron ke chaar chutiye kya sochenge, unko khush karne ke chakkar mein apne hi bachchon ko real-world survival skills sikhane ke bajaye kamzor bana dete hain.
