बाप क। नाम लत्ती फत्ती, बेटा के नाम अगरबत्ती

जो नौकरी में थे उनको तो इसके मां-बाप सैलरी नहीं दे पाते थे और ये हर घर से एक-एक आदमी को पकड़कर नौकरी देने जा रहा।

बिहार कुछ नहीं भूला है, इसलिए नारे की बत्ती बना लालटेन फूंक लो।

They aren’t naïve -- they’re willfully blind.
The real concern should be for the innocent ones --attacked without understanding the game. Not the ones who choose delusion over caution despite all the evidence around them.

You can't save those who don't want to be saved.

Denmark's top badminton player, Mia Blichfeldt, leaves the India Open midway due to Delhi's smog and unclean ambience.

Her Insta post: "Finally home after a long and stressful week in India. It's the second year in a row that I fell ill during the India Open. It's really hard to accept that weeks of hard work and preparation get wasted because of poor conditions. It's not fair to anyone that we have to train and play in smog, with birds defecating on the courts and dirt everywhere. These conditions are too unhealthy and unacceptable."

Is Delhi's air unclean and unhealthy? Of course. Is anything being done about it? No. Why? Because it’s not an election issue. For the majority of Delhi’s population, pollution isn’t a concern. Free water, free electricity, free travel—now even free cash is on the cards. What else do they need? Kejriwal openly admitted that cleaning the Yamuna doesn’t fetch votes (though he promised to clean it, which he is doing since a decade). True. Cleaning the air won’t either. Selfish voters, hence indifferent administration—the beauty of democracy!

The annual budget of Maharashtra's Ladli Bahin Yojna is ₹46,000 crore. This amount exceeds the DRDO budget (₹24,000 crore) and the ISRO budget (₹13,000 crore).

Remember, this is just one state. Almost all states are running Ladli Behan, Chulbuli Nanand, Chidchidi Fufi Yojnas, whose combined budgets surpass the Union budgets for health, education, and other critical sectors.

And these are just one type of freebies. Add to this the ₹60,000 crore Kisaan Sammaan Yojna, the ₹11,80,000 crore (over five years) free ration scheme, free water/electricity in various states, berozgari bhattas, and many more.

Freebies will eventually take this country down. While there’s no hope from political parties, why doesn’t the SC takes it suo motu, form a constitutional bench or something, and take steps to nullify or regulate such freebies? Surely, they understand the dangerous path we are treading, right?

He entered politics claiming that all politicians were corrupt and incompetent, vowing to bring change. Ironically, he turned out to be worse than the very politicians he once criticized.

However, he has mastered the art of exploiting the public's greed. While most politicians who misuse power for personal gain are eventually replaced, he has secured his position by sharing the spoils of the govt treasury with the public through freebies. He cleverly warns them that replacing him would result in losing these benefits.

For the greedy public, this deal works. In India, sarkari corruption is tolerated as long as the people also profit. We’re okay with paying extra if it helps bypass bureaucratic hurdles. Here, the public is enjoying free water, electricity, women's travel, no house tax, and more. With such perks, it’s unlikely they’ll remove this conman anytime soon. They'll easily ignore how lavishly he has spent from sarkari treasury on his own comfort.

याद है केजरीवाल जी...कोरोनाकाल में कैसे यूपी बिहार के गरीब मजदूरों उनके बीबी बच्चो और बुजुर्गो को जबरन DTC बसों में भर भरकर आनंद विहार बस अड्डे पर भूखा प्यासा छोड़ दिया था आपने.

सुना तो हमने यह भी था कि रात से ही जमना पार की हर कॉलोनी में आपके लोग loud speaker लगा कर घोषणा कर रहे थे... लोगों को आनंद विहार जाने के लिए कह रहे थे.... कह क्या रहे थे... उन्हें धकेल ही रहे थे... उन्हें डरा धमका कर दिल्ली से भगा रहे थे

जबकि उस समय आप अपने बीबी बच्चो के लिए आलीशान शीशमहल बना रहे थे... दुनिया भर से महंगे महंगे साजो सामान खरीद रहे थे.

तब उन पूर्वाआँचल के लोगों का ध्यान नहीं आय आपको? हजारों लोगों को आपने मरने के लिए छोड़ दिया था.

वो तो भला हो योगी जी का.... उन्होंने तुरंत ही सैंकड़ो बसों का इंतजाम करवाया और सभी मजदूरों को परिवार सहित उनके घर पहुंचाया.

आपका बस चलता तो आनंद विहार में लाखों लोगों की लाशें बिछ जाती.

आज उन्हीं पूर्वाआँचल के नाम पर आप राजनीति करना चाहते हैं... बड़े ही बेशर्म हैं आप
