Yesterday in Rajasthan, PM Narendra Modi Ji (Narendra Modi ) explained how India turned one of the biggest energy crises of the 21st century into a story of economic resilience. While Rahul Gandhi hoped for economic anarchy; world suffered from fuel shortages, runaway inflation and economic distress; India took timely decisions—diversified crude imports, expanded LPG production, strengthened refining capacity and protected over 100 crore Indians from the worst of the global energy energy crisi. This is "Modi model" : Economic resilience that benefits common man! My digital explainer:

I visited the southernmost tip of India. I stood at Indira Point. I walked under trees that have stood for centuries. I dove into coral reefs among the most vibrant on earth. And I sat with the people who live there. Tribal communities, whose land is being taken away by violating the Forest Rights Act. Settlers, many of them former soldiers, placed on these islands by the Indian government, who aren’t getting fair compensation. The Modi government and BJP tells you Great Nicobar Project is about defence. It is not. Expand INS Baaz - we will back the government fully. The Navy has been asking for expansion for five years - it has been ignored. They tell you it is about a transhipment port. It is not. India is already building one in Kerala, which is on the mainland. What it actually is: 1.5 crore trees felled. Coral reefs erased from official maps. Soldiers and tribals displaced - so one businessman can build hotels and casinos on India’s most irreplaceable ecological land. Every young Indian I have spoken to understands this. You know that no amount of profit is worth destroying what can never be recovered. I stand for ecologically balanced development. These islands can be the most extraordinary sustainable destination the world has ever seen. That is the India worth fighting for. #GreenOverGreed #NicobarMatters #WorldEnvironmentDay

#WATCH | Patna, Bihar: On 'Chhatron Ki Goonj', TMC MP Shatrughan Sinha says, "Today, Rahul Gandhi has emerged as a formidable youth icon and a towering political leader. It is our good fortune that he serves as the Leader of the Opposition in India... He has conducted in-depth research into the issues faced by students and presents them effectively. Whether it was his discussion of the issue of 'vote theft'—the way he presented the calculations on the display board—his approach was truly praiseworthy. Today, he is addressing students' issues and discussing solutions to their problems. This is a boon for the younger generation."

#WATCH | Delhi: On Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's statement, BJP MP Sambit Patra says, "Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has called 11 years of PM Narendra Modi a nightmare. I would like to remind him, 11 years ago when Narendra Modi was not the Prime Minister, India was considered among the fragile five economies of the world... Now India is one among the Top five economies... There was a time when the then Prime Minister held meetings with terrorists and Kashmiri separatists. Sonia Gandhi would cry at the dead bodies of terrorists. Now India attacks terror infrastructures inside Pakistan... In 2010, when 76 of our jawans were killed by Naxalites, celebrations erupted in some universities. Now naxalism is on the verge of collapse... It is natural, that this government will be a nightmare for Congress, which has lost 99 times... They had thought that this country was their property... They were part of all sorts of scams... It is natural they will not like what is happening to them now... Since 2024, people of India have consecutively voted for the BJP in every state. This shows the faith people have in PM Narendra Modi..."

#WATCH | Jammu, J&K: On Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi's tweet asking how many aircraft we lost, Defence Expert Captain Anil Gaur (Retired) says, "Unfortunately, the Leader of Opposition comes out with such statements which clearly show that these are the statements coming from Pakistan or other agencies, because the agencies and the media in Pakistan are showing his tweets over there. To keep on doubting what our armed forces have done, to keep on doubting the briefing given by the ministers in the government and the prime minister, shows that there is a total lack of understanding of how the government works. This also shows that the Leader of Opposition, rather than acting as a responsible Leader of Opposition, is acting more as a spokesperson of the powers that want to destabilise India. Rahul Gandhi and Congress should look into the way they are acting to politicise this. The world knows what India has achieved. Tom Cooper, the master of all war chronicles, has acknowledged it. You may doubt what your ministers or fellow countrymen may say, but it coming from a third person and that to an independent person like Tom Cooper, I think he (Rahul Gandhi) should concentrate on that rather than raise such stupid questions..."

Rahul Gandhi has done it AGAIN. The man with the perpetual passport in his pocket has landed in Great Nicobar, posed in front of a few trees, and produced yet another video designed for one purpose only. To sabotage a project of national, strategic and defence importance for India. This is not concern. This is a pattern. Every single project that strengthens India gets the same treatment from this man. Rafale was a scam. Vande Bharat was an insult. Chandrayaan was a stunt. The new Parliament was a coronation. CAA was anti Muslim. Sengol was theatre. Every road, every port, every airport, every defence deal that makes Bharat stronger becomes, in his vocabulary, a “scam” or a “crime.” Whose interests is he actually serving when he travels thousands of kilometres only to demoralise a project that sits at the doorstep of the Strait of Malacca, through which 30 percent of global maritime trade passes? Whose strategy is he advancing when he tries to block India’s answer to China’s String of Pearls, the very port that will end our dependence on Colombo and Singapore for transhipment? Now let us bring out the data Rahul Gandhi will never put in his videos. The total area of Great Nicobar Island is around 910 square kilometres. Out of this, 853 square kilometres, that is 92 percent of the entire island, is constitutionally protected as Tribal Reserve under the 1956 regulation. The project footprint is 166 square kilometres. That is roughly 18 percent of the island, and the tribal reserve remains overwhelmingly intact. The tribal population Rahul Gandhi is suddenly weeping for is approximately 1,200. The Shompen, around 200. The Nicobarese, around 1,000. Eight hundred square kilometres of pristine, protected forest stays exclusively reserved for them. Untouched. Guaranteed by law. And here comes the inconvenient truth that destroys his entire video. The Tribal Council itself has issued a No Objection Certificate to the Government of India. The very communities Rahul Gandhi claims to speak for have already given written consent. The Gram Sabhas have passed resolutions. Yet this man parachutes in from Delhi, ignores the actual voice of the actual tribals on the actual ground, and decides HE will speak for them in English on Twitter for his foreign audience. Why English, Rahul ji? Why is the video tailored for international consumption? Why does every Congress attack on a strategic Indian project get amplified by the exact same Western NGOs and Survival International style outfits that have a track record of stopping infrastructure in developing countries while remaining suspiciously silent about Chinese ports in Hambantota and Gwadar? The pattern is too consistent to be coincidence. When India built Sela Tunnel, he was missing. When China built villages inside Arunachal, he was silent. When Galwan happened, he hugged the Chinese narrative. When Adani built ports for India, he attacked. When Chinese ports encircle India, he says nothing. Great Nicobar is not just an island. It is India’s southernmost frontier, 145 kilometres from Indonesia, sitting on the jugular of world trade. A transhipment port here means crores of dollars stay in India instead of going to Colombo. An airport here means our Navy and Air Force project power into the Indo Pacific. A township here means India finally populates and secures a territory that was nearly lost in 2004. This is exactly why someone, somewhere, wants this project killed. And Rahul Gandhi has volunteered, as always, to be the loudest voice for that someone. 1,200 tribals have said yes. 140 crore Indians want this project. The Supreme Court appointed committee has cleared it. The NGT has cleared it. The Environment Ministry has cleared it. Only one man stands in the way, video camera in hand, lecturing the nation from a forest he visited for the first time in his life. Bharat knows this script by heart now. And Bharat is not buying it anymore.

Economic growth in India is going to slow down. So we have to be very careful about what we do... Such conflicts are going to increase in this transition period.

#WATCH | Delhi: On US prosecutors charging Gautam Adani and others in alleged Solar Energy contract bribery case, CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat says, "We have demanded to book Adani on corruption charges and proceed against him, including arrest. We have also demanded that an independent investigation into all the other allegations should be conducted. Even in the Hindenburg revelations, he was defended. It is directly Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the government led by him who have extended protection and defended Adani personally... It is a shame for our country that it is the United States of America's Justice Department which has collected all this information because it believes that US Companies were misled. They are protecting the interests of their companies from this fraud by Adani. Whereas the government of India, led by PM Modi is protecting him and his companies and giving him permission, license and patronage to loot India and India's resources... What are you saying about India to the rest of the world? That this government is protecting the most corrupt entities? This is a time when it is in India's interest that this man be booked immediately under corruption charges.

A Hindutva-oriented transwoman from Rajasthan has recently claimed that her letters to PM Modi led to the passage of the atrocious Transgender Amendment Act. Another Hindutva-oriented transwoman from Delhi has filed a poorly-drafted petition in the Supreme Court against the Act, which will jeopardize collective community efforts to fight it via the judiciary. Both transwomen supposedly belong to the same organization. Why are they then speaking in different tongues? Our LGBTQIA+ community needs to realize that we cannot have any truck with Hindutva! This vicious ideology will lead to our collective ruin. In the recent meeting of the transgender delegation with the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, I pointed out that the new amendments relied on an RSS mindset, that wanted to box Indians into the identities we were born with. They are against our aspirations. They are averse to the India we dream of — one that is diverse and plural, and where the marginalized are protected. When we raise our voices against the Transgender Amendment Act, let's never forget which doctrine got us here in the first place!

My Take : The last 24 hours have exposed an uncomfortable truth: ideology may divide our political class, but misogyny unites it. Yesterday, Rahul Gandhi held a press conference attacking the Modi government’s diplomatic approach. Standing beside him was Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit. Gandhi hugged him to make a point about diplomacy. Dikshit then joked: “Did you hug me thinking I was Meloni?” — referring to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Gandhi replied: “I have not reached there yet.” It was a cheap joke. And it was deeply sexist. - but casual sexism is part of our politics - Giorgia Meloni is a democratically elected world leader, not a prop for political banter. If the Congress wants to speak credibly about gender justice, Sandeep Dikshit should have apologised ... plainly and publicly. No excuses. No deflection. No double standards. The BJP was absolutely entitled to demand that apology. But then the BJP did what Indian politics does far too often: it answered misogyny with more misogyny. BJP leader Nishikant Dubey posted a photograph of Indira Gandhi embracing Fidel Castro and asked whether Rahul Gandhi would call that “lust ” Think about that choice. There are countless photographs of former PM and congress leader Rajiv Gandhi embracing foreign dignitaries. But Mr Dubey chose Indira Gandhi. And then attached a sexual insinuation to the image. So an insult to Giorgia Meloni was answered with an insult to Indira Gandhi. Different parties. Same instinct. Put a woman at the centre of the punchline. And that is the point. This is not about defending the Congress. Sandeep Dikshit was wrong. He should apologise. It is also not about defending the BJP. Nishikant Dubey’s response was equally revealing. Because misogyny does not become acceptable when it is used as political retaliation. Women should not become ammunition every time politicians run out of arguments. Not Giorgia Meloni. Not Indira Gandhi. Not any woman. So yes, ideology divides our political class. But when it comes to using women as the easiest targets in a political fight, they seem remarkably united.

#WATCH | Delhi: On Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi's allegations that LoP is not allowed to meet visiting dignitaries, BJP MP Dr Sambit Patra says, "The way Rahul Gandhi ji has spoken today is not only inappropriate, but I feel it is wrong. This does not present India in a good light. This statement is without any facts. Rahul Gandhi said that the Government of India does not allow the LoP to meet the foreign dignitaries who come because the Government of India has a sense of insecurity. Why would there be insecurity in the Government of India? I would like to tell him that today India is the fourth-largest economic power. Today, India has a stature in the world, so there is probably no insecurity...I think he's overestimating himself. Secondly, he said, whenever I visit abroad, the Indian government informs other countries not to allow the LoP to meet leaders. Judging our country this way, talking about our country this way, especially when foreign guests like Putin are about to arrive, is not appropriate to say such things about the country... It's important for everyone to know clearly: when a foreign delegate comes to India, it's the Ministry of External Affairs' responsibility to arrange meetings with government officials and other individuals. We, the government, can't interfere in who they want to meet. But still, to keep the records straight. Since 9th June 2024, the following leaders have met the Leader of the opposition: Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina on 10 June, 2024, Prime Minister of Vietnam Pham Minh Ching on 1 Aug 2024, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim of Malaysia on 21 August 2024, Prime Minister of Mauritius Navinchandra Ramgoolam on 16 September 2025 and Prime Minister of New Zealand Christopher Luxon on 8 March 2025. Naturally, Rahul has met with all the delegations that expressed a desire to meet him. As I said, we don't expect Rahul to raise such controversies and tarnish the country's image on the same day when the President of another country is visiting. He is a LoP and should always behave responsibly."

#WATCH | Gujarat: Businessman Suhel Seth says, "I'm here in the verdant surroundings of Gift City close to Ahmedabad in Gandhinagar. I remember in 2008 when I had a meeting with the then CM, who is our PM today, Narendra Modi, he talked about Gift City. And today what I'm seeing is a gift to the world. Apart from the many advantages that Gift City is offering, to my mind, the most amazing thing is that it is truly a world-class centre for finance, for services, and the way it has come up is marvellous. This is how Brand India has made remarkable progress. I was privileged to see an underground tunnel which houses all the service backup, whether it's portable water, whether it's sewage... These are the things that every Indian should be proud of... I'm delighted that today we have a situation where young people can come to work, they can actually walk to work, where residences, the social milieu and commercial ventures nestle alongside each other and this is the India of the future. What I've just seen is India's vision for the future..." (Self-made)

I want to ask three questions first, which will make it very clear that the BJP is directing and using the Election Commission to damage India's democracy. ❓ Why is it that the CJI was removed from the selection panel of the Election Commissioner? What motivation could there be to remove the CJI? Do we not believe in the CJI? Of course, we believe in the CJI. Why is he not in that room? I sit in that room. It is a so-called democratic decision. On one side, PM Narendra Modi and HM Amit Shah. On the other side, the leader of the opposition. I have no voice in that room. What they decide is what happens. So, why are the Prime Minister and Amit Shah so keen on choosing exactly who the Election Commissioner is going to be? ❓ This is a devastating one. No Prime Minister has done this in the history of India. In December 2023, this government changed the law. They changed the law to make sure that no Election Commissioner could be punished for any action they take while they are Election Commissioners. Why would the Prime Minister and Home Minister give this gift of immunity to the Election Commissioner? Why would they need to give this tremendous gift that no prime minister has ever given before to the election commissioner? ❓ Why was the law with regard to CCTVs and the data that they contain changed? Why was a law put in place that allows the Election Commission to destroy CCTV footage 45 days after the election? What is the need? The answer given is that it is a question of data. But it is not a question of data. It is a question of stealing the election. : LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha

#WATCH | Delhi: Lok Sabha LoP and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi says, "The thing that is very clear to everybody is that our education system, which was known to be one of the best education systems in the world, is today a rigged system... What we do know is that 152 paper leaks have taken place over the last decade. If you do the math. So one a month approx. Every month, lakhs of students are told that all the stress that you went through you're going to have to go through again. After that they tell we really don't care... 7.5 crore students and their families are affected by this. These are middle class and poor families. They put their hard earned money into this and then they literally spat on. And the best part of this is zero convictions. In the last 10 years, 152 leaks have taken place and zero convictions. So somebody is or a group of people are destroying our education system, India's most valuable asset, destroying the lives of our students. What does the government do? Zero convictions..."

#WATCH | Oslo | At joint press conference by Nordic PMs, Prime Minister of Iceland, Kristrún Frostadóttir says, " I had my first bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Modi this morning, which was a very exciting meeting for us because we have such a good story to tell between these two countries... This summit comes at a very important time for us, where we can show that even though we're miles apart as a grouping, as Nordics from India, but also for a country like Iceland, which is very different in scale and size, there are so many things that tie us together. PM Modi mentioned our expertise when it comes to geothermal energy and renewables is something that we are very happy to share, and we know that we are getting things in return. We've seen through the free trade agreements that Prime Minister Modi addressed an increase in investment coming from Iceland into India. So there are so many things that we can do together, and I just have to address, I love that word 'Sambandh'. This is such a purely Icelandic word, and people will be very devoted to this language, Prime Minister Modi, because this is what people need. They need more 'sambandh' today. "I also want to address the tone that's coming out of this meeting, which is very important. We are obviously leaders in our part of the world as an order group, but having the biggest democracy in the world, the leader of the biggest democracy, address things like climate change and seeing it as something that we need to address for progress, not something that holds us back, is such an important message coming from a leader at this scale today. I think a lot of people are afraid of what we need to do, and here we're harnessing hope, and this is a message that needs to be heard." (source: ANI/DD)

The world knows we have a PM who is more interested in headline-making announcements than the consequences that follow. A single Meta data center in Georgia reportedly consumes around 5,00,000 gallons of water every day — nearly 10% of an entire county’s supply. One facility in Iowa used almost a billion gallons in a year. Google’s operations consumed nearly 6.1 billion gallons of water in 2024 as AI cooling demands surged. Most of this water is lost through evaporation. Now imagine aggressively pushing this model into a water-stressed country like India. India already has 132 data centres and plans to add 87 more. Nearly 80% are foreign-funded. Governments are offering huge incentives — tax exemptions for years, subsidised land, electricity duty waivers, and special treatment for foreign corporations. Meanwhile, ordinary citizens are constantly told to save water and electricity. Google’s AI hub is coming up in Visakhapatnam. More such projects are being pushed across states in the name of “development,” yet hardly anyone is discussing groundwater depletion, electricity burden, environmental damage, or long-term sustainability. When communities in the U.S. began resisting these projects over water usage, electricity costs, land consumption, and noise pollution, companies started looking elsewhere. The Modi government readily embraced them — because for Modi headlines mattered more. Over $64 billion worth of data centre projects in the U.S. have reportedly been delayed or blocked due to growing public opposition over environmental and resource concerns. But in India, every announcement is celebrated without questioning who truly benefits — and who will pay the environmental price for decades to come.

PAF TRIUMPHS AT RIAT-2025, WINNING TWO PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS AND GLOBAL ACCLAIM 19 July, 2025: Pakistan Air Force has once again upheld its proud tradition of bringing glory to the nation on the international stage. At the world-renowned Royal International Air Tattoo-2025, held in the United Kingdom, PAF achieved an extraordinary feat by securing two coveted trophies among the world’s leading air forces. During the Air Chiefs’ Conference at RIAT-2025, PAF’s professional excellence and the exquisite paint schemes of its aircraft were widely appreciated by global air force leaders. Numerous dignitaries praised PAF contingent for its high standards of discipline, operational readiness and impressive representation of Pakistan on an international forum. On this remarkable achievement, Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu, Chief of the Air Staff, Pakistan Air Force, extended his heartfelt congratulations to PAF contingent stating that keeping the nation’s flag high has always been the hallmark of Pakistan Air Force. Winning these prestigious awards is a testament to our professionalism, technical expertise and relentless pursuit of excellence. He also commended the entire team for showcasing Pakistan’s true potential with pride and dignity. PAF's state of the art JF-17 Thunder Block-III, making its maiden appearance at this prestigious airshow, was awarded the “Spirit of the Meet” Trophy, a rare honor conferred upon the aircraft that best embodies the ethos, spirit and excitement of RIAT. Following the recent Pakistan-India conflict, a heightened sense of anticipation prevailed across the United Kingdom, with aviation enthusiasts and defence experts eagerly awaiting the debut of Pakistan Air Force’s 4.5 generation JF-17 Thunder Block-III. The award signifies the technological brilliance and operational capability of the JF-17 program, while also showcasing Pakistan’s growing aerospace excellence on global stage. Adding to this moment of national pride, PAF C-130H Hercules, adorned in a striking and artistically crafted special livery reflecting this year’s theme of Eyes in the Skies, secured the distinguished “Concours d’Elegance” Trophy for the best-maintained and most aesthetically presented aircraft at RIAT-2025. The meticulous craftsmanship and impeccable presentation of the iconic aircraft reflected the outstanding proficiency and unwavering commitment of PAF’s personnel. JF-17 Thunder Block-III, with its cutting-edge capabilities and striking aesthetics, emerged as a centerpiece of the display line while the distinctively painted C-130 garnered significant attention, earning widespread acclaim from spectators and international delegations alike. Pakistan Air Force has a rich history of success at RIAT, having previously won multiple honors in 2006, 2016 and 2018, further reinforcing its reputation as a world-class air arm consistently demonstrating excellence in aviation. PAF’s outstanding performance at RIAT-2025 not only cements its standing among leading global air forces but also serves as a source of immense pride for the entire Pakistani nation.
