Paid my last respects to Gen Bipin Rawat & Mrs Madhulika Rawat. A huge loss to the nation, he had dramatically improved India's security paradigm.
I had the privilege of meeting him recently for NCC revamp work. He was down to earth, practical, & gave many actionable suggestions.

Reaching the historic milestone of 50% vaccination calls for a moment to recognise the efforts of health workers and doctors. Also, a gentle reminder to those ‘learned’ politicians who were not so sure about the vaccine’s efficacy.

More economic bright spots continue to appear as we enter the second week of the year:
-Solar open access installations grew 85% year on year
-Hiring activity remained buoyant in December despite Omicron
-& best of all, farm sector growth estimated at 3.9%, a very sharp increase

1950- Indian PM declines an offer for a permanent seat at #UNSC to gift it to China.
2021- Indian PM chairs high-level UNSC meet for the first time in history.
PM @narendramodi has revamped our diplomatic relations & got the world welcome #NewIndia

A new SC ruling intensifies the debate on judicial overreach & raises the critical need for consistency of principles.
The ideal of checks & balances between the constitution’s pillars is marred when one pillar exempts itself from it. My OpEd in @htTweets:

Food delivered at home, Oxygen, PPE kits, facilitation for vaccinations & hospital admissions & much more. Proud of the continuing efforts of fellow karyakartas of @BJP4Delhi in reaching out to thousands of citizens every day to help manage this #covid surge 🙏🙏

-Union govt funded 6 O2 plants but Delhi govt only gave ok to build 1
-Delhi CM said O2 is plenty, in 3 days said big shortage
-Union govt arranged O2, but Delhi did not distribute
-To shift blame, CM falsely projected 4x requirement
-Court appointed O2 audit has exposed his lies

India is open for business. The National Single Window System launched by minister @PiyushGoyal delivers a hassle-free process to set up business in 🇮🇳 or expand.
The thrust given by Prime Minister @narendramodi for the ease of doing business.continues, with regular improvements.

@PandaJay
Step back from the cacophony & think about what India has achieved on the vaccine front in a year. Development, procurement, rollout, the scale is stunning. On this, & many other critical matters, you can also observe the flip-flopping & blatant hypocrisy of the usual suspects

@PandaJay
In his #MannKiBaat address today, PM @narendramodi talked about Isaac Munda who hails from a village in the Sambalpur district of #Odisha. Isaac was as a daily wage labourer but now is an internet sensation and is earning from his Youtube channel.
He’s an inspiration for us.

Advice for the Congress MLA & former assembly speaker who's apparently unrepentant about his horrible remarks on rape:
When your party's eclipse is inevitable, sit back & enjoy it

@PandaJay
The opposition in India @ShashiTharoor betrays the still scathing heartache of a dispossessed elite. No wonder they are resorting to an illogical campaign against Prime Minister @narendramodi’s Central Vista project.

Stunned & very, very sad to hear of Financial Express editor Sunil Jain's untimely passing. I knew him for long years, had interacted often at various forums & also been interviewed by him. He was among our brightest, most rational & balanced journalists. A big loss. Om Shanti 🙏

@PandaJay
Put aside politics (incl your own inclinations) & do this:
-Take a moment to examine the #AyusmanBharat & #OneNationOneRationCard programs
-They are revolutionising service delivery to citizens on a huge scale
-Ask yourself why a few states like Delhi are not implementing them...

@PandaJay
The irony was quite stark. PM @narendramodi launched #Ujjwala2 for women & interacted with women SHGs under the Aatmanirbhar Narishakti Samvad & the opposition manhandled a lady marshal in parliament. Some will try to spin this differently, but these are just facts.

9 evacuation flights have already brought thousands of Indians from #Ukraine back home. 4 cabinet ministers enroute to personally supervise the rest.
While the Modi govt has been working day & night for this, many big nations haven’t rescued any of their citizens yet.
Jai Hind 🙏

Congratulations to Bollywood's talented & influential Kangana Ranaut, Adnan Sami & Karan Johar on being conferred #PadmaAwards today. India's soft power is influential around the world & it is time for us to be Indians first, put aside differences & harness it for the common good

The National Cadet Corps has undertaken a great initiative under its flagship program Puneet Sagar Abhiyan to clean beaches & collect plastic waste for recycling.
Let us all join hands with #NCC to clean our beaches & make them plastic free.

It takes a special kind of sociopathic disconnect --callous, inhuman, thick skinned-- for the inheritor of the legacy of those who butchered thousands of Sikhs in 1984, to assert with brazen hubris that lynchings were unheard of before 2014.

No outrage, because Kerala is not yet a BJP governed state! The brutal killing of @BJP4Keralam OBC Morcha Secretary & former MLA candidate, Ranjeet Sreenivas will not be forgotten. Kerala will be delivered from this misrule. Deepest condolences to the bereaved family.
Om Shanti🙏

@PandaJay
I congratulate my friend @anandmahindra for announcing his willingness to recruit industry-ready disciplined #Agniveers trained by the armed forces. I am sure Industry leaders @RNTata2000 Ji, @reliancegroup, @AdaniOnline, @airtelindia, @IndiGo6E & others will follow the suit.

Laughter is the best medicine. A formerly grand old party is determined to revive itself via comedy. Its new claim that the Modi govt engineered the biggest ever global outage of social media platforms only to stifle them won't get votes, but will surely tickle our funny bones ;)

Captain #vikrambatra would have been 47 today & much more senior. He gave his life in his prime, for the tricolour he loved so much, & for us, our safety & security. He didn't make it here, but contributed immensely to this gradually becoming India's Century. Jai Hind🙏🙏

It’s no secret that this opposition leader who thinks it’s unfortunate that he’s an MP, is prone to blunders despite being in public life for two decades.
& it’s so endearing to see his handlers try on-the-spot-damage-control, which they seem to love doing on live microphones…
