Yesterday RBI released the data of RECO ratio where Delhi spending was 10.3 compare to national average of 5.2, which in short mean they are spending more on salaries and subsudies, instead of Infrastructure and future. This election AAP is promising even more, which is followed by other parties. We as a nation need to stop this madness otherwise we will broke down our country.

[@satvikmishra0]

But still there is more infrastructure development in Delhi in past 10 years than earlier… maybe more efficiency is a better term… I mean with that high RECO ratio… still Delhi has best schools and hospitals… and that too free… metro construction of more than 450km… 38 new flyovers, 10000 (10k) km of new roads, 6800 km of sewer lines construction, 4000 (4K) km of water lines, CCTV increase from 25000 (25K) to 300000 (3L) (most in the world), Street lights increase from 66000 (66k) to 400000 (4L)…. I think Delhi Govt. Is much better than govt. neither doing much infrastructure development nor giving any welfare to public

[@binaymahanta2137]

The true facts of BJP keeping Kejriwal and other AAP leaders in jail is this. The liquor policy of Delhi is alleged by BJP that much corruption has taken place. But instead of using corruption case, they used money-laundering case because it is easy to put someone in custody in AML cases and as per rule bail is very difficult to get. Then BJP conducted raids on AAP leaders to recover money, but they hardly found anything. The court then asked very hard questions to ED and CBI and they had to give bail because judges believed that AML is misused to put people unnecessarily behind bars. BJP was completely exposed. So dear Nitish Mehta, where is the bias by Mr. Gupta?

700 farmers died in the farmer's agitation, but still Modi used army to stop farmers. Only when he got convinced that it will have very bad impact on elections, he revoked it. The death of farmers is on to Modi. The BJP government in Manipur used the same tactics against Kuki-Zo people which Modi used against Muslims in Gujrat. Manipur is still burning and this is on to Modi. Modi has sold many ports and airports to his friend Adani which employs less than 50,000 people which means all profits are eaten by Adani, without any benefits to India. Demonetization caused so many deaths of common people, caused Indian economy to shrink by 4%, and this is on to Modi. During COVID, common Indians had to walk thousands of kilometers to their home, caused by sudden hard decision of lockdown by Modi. Simple actions like providing transport could have eased it, which Pakistan did. Such mismanagement is on to Modi. In most western countries, racial attacks against Indians are increasing, this is because of unnecessary chest-thumping, egotistic behavior of Modi. This is in stark contrast to how Nehru and Manmohan Singh were revered and respected by world leaders. Modi thinks western think-tank doesn't know about how India's growth is happening under him. But they know how Modi is helping Adani and Ambani and the west is hell-bent on punishing such practices. India's future is bleak under Modi.

When the top two are from the same national alliance, there is little sense in having a regional alliance, as automatically the 3rd best would gain vote share and maybe seats as well. Same goes with PB, where the fight is mainly between the AAP & INC. BJP also has 'friendly fights' in several NE states with NDA partners like NPP, NPF & JDU. In fact the JDU has contested all over the country against the BJP and the latter has responded by gobbling up JDU MLAs post-election, even while being in alliance. Arunachal is a key example.

@@sumedhsingh731 If an elected AAP Govt is so helpless and, by extension, so USELESS. It would be DUMB to vote for AAP. It would be smart to vote for the BJP.

For the first 40 years of the country the congress single handedly ruled most of the country. The Gandhi family ruled for three generations (four if RaGa somehow becomes PM). And not to mention how this family was forced into power without any democratic accountability. But sure BJP is tyrannical.

A tragic incident occurred in madhya pradesh, where a businessman, manojparmar, & his wife, neha, took their own l after being raided by ed. The couple's final letter revealed that they were harassed by the ed & pressured to support the ruling party. This shows the devastating result of such pressure & harassment. The misuse of power can have serious repercussions on people & their families. The couple's children are now left, without their parents. As a society, we need people who do not abuse their power to silence people or their rights by targeting them using agencies. The newly introduced Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita law, has such a vague language that this ambiguity can easily be used by authorities to label anyone as anti-national based on any cop's interpretations of what they think are the thoughts in your mind. The law's language is so ambiguous, & that seems to be intentional. In a real democratic nation, it is important for press outlets to have freedom to be able to report without fear of agencies or forced takeover. Meanwhile after 7 long years, govt says that there is no evidence to support the 2017 allegations against the former owners of NDTV, after pro-govt businessman, had taken over the news outlet. Rather than holding leaders accountable, the majority of big media outlets seem to be focusing on worshipping of politicians in power. This is a change from the pre-2014 era, when journalists across the board felt empowered to speak truth to power without fear of retribution. Today, very few journalists can dare to question the top leaders or a pro-govt businessman. The present erosion of the press is due to the increasing use of certain agency to silence questioning. The current environment is of self-censorship due to intimidation. The union govt's desire is a plan for new bill called News Broadcasting & Digital Standards Regulations, which aims to target not only new media influencers, but to target dissent & control remaining old school press. The plan of union govt is to intimidate Constitutional right to dissent peaceful. Under the proposed regulations, any individuals uploading content online, would be classified as Digital News Broadcasters, regardless of the topic or content. And any comment or any upload can be targeted for govt audits & union govt controlled Content Evaluation Committee. Failure to comply may result in many multiple financial penalties by the union govt controlled Broadcast Advisory Council. There is no recourse for journalists.

AAP will win Delhi elections 2025. It will win around 60-65 seats.

[@teja6373]

Its funny how people are so concerned about financial implications of our country due to freebies but when bjp does the same in mp mh etc its all sunshine and blossom 😂 kejriwal promised literally the same scheme of eknath sinde but somehow when its done in Maharashtra its ok but wnen the same is promised in delhi its a financial suicide 😂

[@dhaneshm]

Why spreading misinformation...that BJP kept kerjiwal etc in Jail...

[@sramakrishnan3212]

Because Mr sekhar is from AAP not a true journalist.

[@pratyushvajpayee]

Useless analysis

[@kushajagarwal9761]

I think the BJP's strategy is going to blowback big time. Prople see that Kejriwal ie trying hard, but the central government always tries throwing spanner in the works. First by putting him in jail, then by issuing notifications against the welfare schemes etc. the sympathy factor would play into AAP's tally and i feel their vote share will further go up.

We just lost a Manmohan Singh ji today. As he said in his last press conference that History will be kinder to him. And I think History already started doing that with him. I think he was the most influential person in last 50-60 years in India. Influential in the sense that his impact of common Indian people life is far greater,bigger and +ve than anyone else. He has done great things for India. His last 2-3 years were not good as PM but it was more congress than his mistakes. Salute to the respetbale person he was always been. Rest in Peace Sir

[@mayankhb]

He could have resigned at any time in those 3 years but he did not. Why? He was the best Finance Minister but one of the worst Prime Ministers in UPA 2.
