Warm birthday greetings to senior @BJP4India colleague & Union Minister Shri @PiyushGoyal Ji. Apart from other ministries under him, Indian Railways has done outstanding work during this pandemic. May Mahaprabhu Jagannath grant you good health, long life & continued success 🙏🙏

@PandaJay
It was a pleasure to catch up with my old friend Shri @JitinPrasada Ji today. He is intelligent, sincere, accessible, & is eager to work in @BJP4India for the national interest. I am sure we will have several occasions to work together on the BJP's many initiatives for the public

@PandaJay
BJP karyakartas have been helping people in many ways during the pandemic. As part of the ongoing #SevaHiSangathan today I joined senior @BJP4Delhi leader & MLA Shri @Gupta_vijender Ji & others in Rohini for Online Registration Seva Centre for #CovidVaccine facilitation & more.

@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...
430
@PandaJay
I welcome my friend #JitinPrasada to the world's largest political party. In @BJP4India, which believes in nation first, party next, & family last, this suave, intelligent, down to earth politician will be able to achieve his potential & serve the people.

@PandaJay
Tributes to the great revolutionary freedom fighter, iconic tribal leader, epitome of valour & selfless sacrifice Bhagwan #BirsaMunda Ji on his punyatithi. His heroics & sheer determination continue to inspire millions 🙏🙏

@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
433
@PandaJay
For BJP karyakartas, seva comes before everything else. I joined many fellow karyakartas in donating blood at the Red Cross Society building, organised by @BJP4Delhi Purvanchal Morcha as part of our #SevaHiSangathan abhiyan. I appeal to all who are eligible to donate blood🙏
434
@PandaJay
-You misuse neutral platform regulations with blatant partisanship
-You undermine investigations by adjudicating guilt, but refuse to share evidence with police
-You refuse to abide by our laws
-You are a foreign entity openly indulging in domestic political activism
-What next??
435
@PandaJay
Took a review meeting of @BJP4Delhi Dist Presidents & Prabharis with State President, GSO, & LOP. Reviewed our @BJP4India Karyakartas' stellar efforts to assist people as part of #SevaHiSangathan & discussed more ways to reach out to the last common man during this pandemic.

@PandaJay
The #CentralVistaProject in no way impedes India's war against Covid (where funds are not the constraint). It provides employment & had been supported by many who are now hypocritically opposing. & it frees us from the loser mindset that we can't improve on colonial architecture.
437
@PandaJay
When all India service officers forget the all India part & succumb to their cadre state politicians' egoes, join their machinations, walk out on & disrespect a meeting with the nation's head of govt, it's an unacceptable situation, represents the breakdown of the civil service.
438
@PandaJay
Whatever your politics, you should be able to acknowledge that the West Bengal CM's peevish, petty behaviour with the PM today is condemnable. He's doing his duty & bending over backwards to help the state fight calamity, she's grandstanding & spitting on cooperative federalism.
439
@PandaJay
Shri @pcsarangi Ji& I did an aerial survey of the post-cyclone waterlogged Baleswar & Bhadrak districts, then drove to shelters to meet displaced people & distribute relief material. Their biggest demand is for the state to expedite PM Awas Yojana housing for the underprivileged.

@PandaJay
In Kendrapada, Odisha, for relief work after yesterday's cyclone, alongwith fellow karyakartas. Though this time only the periphery of the cyclone hit here, there has still been damage to property & rice fields have been flooded.

Worth watching. This short video of French President Macron speaking about social media is extremely relevant to what we are experiencing in India now. twitter.com/Vinay1011/stat…

@PandaJay
Neither ancient Ayurveda nor modern allopathy are religions. But they might as well be, with *some* adherents' doctrinaire allegiance to each & unthinking rejection of the other. Both are science based & valid, one is better for promoting health, the other for acute interventions

@PandaJay
FACT
#toolkit specified heinous acts
FACT
Despite having implemented much of it, Congress has tried to distance itself & filed FIRs
LOGICAL
Such FIRs must be investigated
LOGICAL
if someone tries to influence investigation by pre-judging, the evidence for that must be verified

@PandaJay
By not implementing a govt order preventing price gouging during the pandemic, the Delhi govt enabled the exploitation of thousands of Delhiites by unscrupulous parties who took advantage of their vulnerability to extort huge amounts. @BJP4Delhi demands #KejriwalReturnCoronaLoot
446
@PandaJay
Some won't like this @bsindia report about a US policy wonk's comments in Saudi Arabia on India. Their rabid Modi hatred blinds them to anything good about India under his watch. The rest should read this with neither hubris nor hate, but with equanimity.

A chilling wake up call from the trenches. Article worth reading by a very bright, well-read & sensible young college student who had interned on my policy team while she was still in school. twitter.com/OjasvyChandhok…

@PandaJay
Three years ago we lost my father. He was a titan in his field, returning from the US in 1960, passionate about India. He created thousands of jobs in Odisha, gave back much to society & remains revered by many. His passing was a turning point & taught me much about human nature.

@PandaJay
As India's testing rose sharply to track & treat Covid patients (pic 1), Delhi's fell equally sharply (pic 2). Every concerned citizen needs to speak out & tell the Delhi govt to #SaveDelhiTestMore

@PandaJay
As a nation that has suffered immensely from cross border terrorism, we condemn rocket attacks by Hamas from Gaza & understand Israel’s right to retaliate. To be clear, we condemn all loss of innocent lives from all sides & urge against any expansion or escalation of the violence
