Since @sardesairajdeep is a connoisseur of Nehru's Independence Day Speeches, here are a few more that I am sure he will like.

1959: Indians are lazy sods who are nowhere near the great hardworking people of Europe, Japan, China, Russia or USA. 1/5

Here is Nehru in 1963, performing the greatest stunt ever in modern political history, when he actually told the nation that the humiliating defeat at the hands of China in 1962 was a good thing!.

This must also rank among the greatest of Nehru, right @sardesairajdeep? 2/5

Recently, Adani group has been projected to be some sort of a Modi government creation. This is not just true about the international media post the stocks downturn, but also in the way vested Indian interests have commented.

What is the reality? This thread explores…1/25 Adani saga began in 1985 when Rajiv Gandhi govt put PVCs in open general license category.

PVC was main raw material for Adani family’s plastic business.

Adani negotiated a deal with Gujarat State Export Corporation (Congress govt) to import PVC thus earning huge margins. 2/25

So called Bharat Jodo Yatra of @RahulGandhi has culminated.

Yatra projected a counter narrative to the Modi government - one that seeks to take India back to the pre 2014-era.

Rahul Gandhi gave his own 'Panch DushPraan' to bring back the dark days. Here is how...
1/10 1) First 'DushPraan' of @RahulGandhi - Ignite inter-state wars all across India.

The speech that Rahul Gandhi gave in Kashmir - 'outsiders are managing your affairs/taking your jobs' is verbatim Jihadi language. It will have immediate repercussions. 2/10

The trade deficit with China in UPA years:

2004-05: $1.48 billion,
2013-14: $36.21 billion
An increase of 2,346% in 10 years !!!

Trade deficit with China has since increased by only 100% to $73.31 billion in 2021-22 (That is in total 8 years)

1/5 The period 2004-14, under Sonia Gandhi raj, coincided with:

1) Congress party signing MoU with Communist Party of China in 2008. What was agreed in that MoU? No one knows.

Signatory from Congress - Rahul Gandhi.
In presence of beaming Sonia Gandhi and Xi Jinping.
2/5

Some facts on the points raised by @ArvindKejriwal in his presser.

1) Why sudden opposition by GOI to free education, medicine, food, etc?

Fact: Misleading classification. Benefits is NOT same as Freebies. Benefits is targeted for the most deserving. Freebies are for all. 1/10 Modi government has been the at forefront in creating a benefits regime for economically deserving. Like Garib Kalyan Yojana during pandemic.

But what is freebie? Free water to all, irrespective. Or Frees water, TV, gold jewelry, mobile phone, washing machine, saree, etc. 2/10

#ShinzoAbe was among the first global leaders to recognize that the post World War-II order had outlived its utility and 21st century needed new allies and new architecture.

India was pivotal in his thinking about building this new architecture. And Modi the fulcrum. 1/10 #ShinzoAbe first visited India as PM in 2007. Remember, this was a time that then UPA government, with its assets in India and supported by elements abroad, had put its full might to frame Modi.

Yet, in 2007 visit, Abe made it a point to visit Gujarat and meet Modi. 2/10

The #LocalGoesGlobal thrust - historic $400 Billion export numbers for FY 2021-22 - is a unique success story since every sector and every region of the country has contributed into achieving this target. And all this happened in a pandemic year! 1/5

The performance of Aspirational Districts (~$20 billion) in helping achieve the $400 billion exports target is one of the most important facets.

From Leather products of Assam to engineering goods from Jharkhand - the economic cycle kickstarted in these districts is immense. 2/5

"Modi@20 - Dream Meet Delivery" is coming soon.

The book is on the transformative changes under PM Modi's uninterrupted 20 years as head of a democratically elected government.

A compilation of 21 essays by domain experts, the book is edited and compiled by @BlueKraft. 1/4 The authors of different chapters of the book "Modi@20" book are:

1. Olympic Medalist @Pvsindhu1
2. Apollo Group’s @shobanakamineni

Claims made by Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha and Facts.

1. Claim: Modi brought Pakistan and China together.

Fact: Shaksgam Valley was ceded by Pakistan to China in 1963, in Nehru's lifetime.
Earlier, Nehru had lost parts of Kashmir to Pak in 1948 & from Ladakh to China in 1962. 1/5 Claims made by @RahulGandhi in Lok Sabha and Facts.

2. Claim: No mention of jobs in President's Speech.

Fact: Just some mention of jobs in President's speech.

PLI schemes creating 60 lakh jobs; schemes for MSME securing 1.5 Cr jobs; 6 lakh jobs in Startups. 2/5

Here is what Modi govt. has done for Middle classes on taxes. #Budget2022

Tax (Rs.) on Income up to 5 lakhs
UPA period (2013-14) : 13,390
Modi Govt - Zero Tax
Saving: 13,390

Tax (Rs.) on Income up to 15 lakhs
UPA period (2013-14) : 191,065
Modi Govt - 124,800
Saving: 66,265 Some people are replying by saying "what about inflation"?

Inflation is factored in every year. Where? In salary increases.

For government employees 7th Pay Commission implemented in 2017 and DA over and above. It is currently at 31%.

Similar structure in private industry.

SC today dismissed plea filed by Devas Multimedia against NCLAT order, which had ruled that Devas was incorporated with a fraudulent motive to collude and connive with the then officials of Antrix Corporation.

Want is then?
2005.
Under Manmohan Singh-Sonia Gandhi rule.
1/5 The mind-boggling nature of the Devas deal, under the loot and plunder era of UPA from 2004-14, is such that it has few parallels.

The deal was signed in 2005.

Till 2010 the Space Commission was not even aware vital national resources had been fraudulently given away. 2/5

As India crosses the milestone of $100 billion digital transactions by value in Oct 2021, fitting to recall the condescending tone of Mr. @PChidambaram_IN on India's digital payments ambitions.

"What will the poor lady do" asked the Congress stalwart? 1/5

(9th Feb, 2017) Other stalwarts.
@supriya_sule:"How is digital going to work in all of India?"
@ShashiTharoor:"we are not a society in which digital transactions can be done without impediments"
@RahulGandhi:"You cannot force cashless on poor"
@INCIndia:Cashless will benefit foreign powers"

There is much debate in certain sections around the phrase "Mother of Democracy" that Prime Minister Modi used to describe India as, during his recent USA visit.

A brief thread on democratic institutions in India much before Greeks in BC era and before Magna Carta in AD era. 1/5 More than 2500 years ago, almost 200 before the Greeks, Republic of Licchavis in present day Bihar was was governed by elected representatives in city assemblies. This elected assembly elected its own leaders and had a shared Constitution like code.

Moraraji Desai on same. 2/5

Rapid Taliban takeover of Afghanistan offers many lessons for India.

Although the situation is still fluid, yet the fact that Taliban has, at least for the foreseeable future, taken control and has at the same time amassed a group of global apologists does offer lessons. 1/10 First, oversized value that some place in India to every word spoken by Western press and Think Tanks must now be consigned to the dustbin.

The old regime and its acolytes behave as if our very existence depends on what some obscure non-entity writes about us in a rag sheet.2/10

Here is what happened. #ModiSpeech

India's Vaccination policy from 16th Jan-30th April was progressing as per scientific advice.

But entire opposition demanded that States be given more purchasing powers.
@RahulGandhi, @AnandSharmaINC, @MamataOfficial & @ArvindKejriwal.
1/5 GOI, in tune with cooperative federalism spirit, and also because Health is primarily a state subject, liberalized vaccination administration from 1st May.

States could now directly but 25% of stocks.

Result - immediate U-turn by EXACT same Opposition. 2/5 #ModiSpeech

What @ShashiTharoor has tried on Vaccine exports is not an aberration but typical of the entire atrocious approach of the Congress party.

One is constrained to use the word दोगलापन, for no other word can describe the actions of the Congress party. Consider the evidence. 1/5 Vaccine Exports

Now: @ShashiTharoor asking India to hang its head in shame for banning vaccine exports.

Then: @RahulGandhi in 8th April letter slamming GOI for exporting vaccines.
@priyankagandhi participating in a puerile trend. And Tharoor himself asking for export ban. 2/5

#RahulGandhi press - says India vaccinated only 3%.

India's population -140Cr.

But ONLY 18+ eligible to be vaccinated NOT ALL

18+ population of India is approx 85 Cr

Almost 16 Cr given AT LEAST ONE DOSE; 4.24 Cr both doses.

That is 18.8% at least one dose; 5% BOTH doses. #RahulGandhi press - says India's COVID-19 mortality numbers are lies.

India's COVID-19 death numbers CAN ONLY BE FALSE if CMs like @MamataOfficial, @OfficeofUT, @capt_amarinder, @bhupeshbaghel and others are LYING.

Because central numbers are just collation of state numbers.

This very insightful video, with brilliant use of data, establishes with conclusive proof the following

1) Kumbh DID NOT cause second COVID-19 wave

2) Second wave predates election rallies

3) Farmer protests at Delhi borders was a SUPER SPREADER.
1/5

https://twitter.com/nijunction/status/1397138259881316353

Graph from Jan 2021, of districts with more than 100 daily cases & positivity more than 15%, EACH establish the SAME thing:

Kerala & Maharashtra first, then Chhattisgarh & Punjab is where second wave originated and then spread over entire country.

Much BEFORE Kumbh began. 2/5

#CongressToolkitExposed is all over the media. Its contents are beyond evil.

Let us look at what has been happening in the real world in the past few weeks and if the Congress or its ecosystem can deny the evil intent of any of it? 1/10

https://twitter.com/TeamBharat_/status/1394510861922828291?s=08

Tool: Defame India by calling B1617 as Indian Variant.

Action: No less than @RahulGandhi
himself branded the new mutant as 'Indian variant' despite WHO expressly forbidding it. Other Congress leaders took his cue.

Mr. Gandhi's close aide even called it 'Modi variant'. 2/10

Problem with the joint letter by opposition politicians is that no one knows when to take these 'leaders' seriously? For they recommended one thing one day and do a complete U-turn the next day.

So which suggestion to accept? And when?

A response on each of the 9 points. 1/10 Point 01: Procure vaccines centrally.
Letter signed by Sonia Gandhi.

But @RahulGandhi wrote a letter in April asking for "State governments a greater say in vaccine procurement". Multiple Congress leaders asked for same.

So which suggestion to accept? Sonia ji or Rahul? 2/10

Lot of sensational narrative on why is there is so called differential pricing on vaccines between states & centre or that why has vaccine been opened for private sector etc?

A thread exposing such fraudulent commentary. (Sample tweets by @FarOutAkhtar & @arvindsubraman ) 1/10 Central government had a well defined, scientific & as per WHO guidelines, vaccination process rolling since Jan 2021.

Front-line, elderly, those with comorbidities, etc be vaccinated first to reduce mortality & then progressively open up. This process was progressing well. 2/10
