Are the recent political developments a sign of a changing electoral trend—or is it too early to draw that conclusion? The BJP remains the dominant electoral machine, and the events of the last two weeks don't change that. But what we're seeing in places like Jharkhand and Delhi is that people are increasingly questioning authority and losing their sense of fear: @sardesairajdeep #DemocraticNewsroom# | @PreetiChoudhry

We've had Vijay, we've had the CJP, and we've had Prashant Kishor winning in Bankipur. Are people sick of old school politics? Are they looking for alternatives? Is this a wake-up call not just for the incumbent, but also for the opposition? Watch as @sardesairajdeep gives his opening remarks. #DemocraticNewsroom# | @PreetiChoudhry

I asked in Parliament on the proportion of cyber fraud victims between women and senior citizens on the national cyber crime reporting portal. For senior citizens: Complaints: 103,488 Amount reported: ₹4,005.12 crore For Women: Complaints: 463,114 Amount reported: ₹3,764.51 crore. Women account for far more complaints. Senior citizens account for larger monetary losses despite fewer complaints. So: higher-value frauds against elderly victims, possibly pension, investment and savings scams. Stronger protection and awareness measures to safeguard our vulnerable senior citizens are needed.

REALITY CHECK: last remaining Bofors case dismissed by the courts. So after 40 years, N0 major political figure or prime accused ever jailed in the Rs 64-crore Bofors pay-off scandal that cost Rajiv Gandhi his govt and haunted the Cong for years. Another ‘feather in the cap’ of our ‘premier’ investigative agency CBI! 😡

INTERESTING: the company which got the contentious Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway project has been declared a non-performer by NHAI but has links with a BJP MP and has got Rs 3500 crore worth of contracts. @Simerchawla20 reports

#JharkhandStudentProtest# As #RahulGandhi# backs student protests demanding recruitment reforms, the agitation in #Jharkhand# enters its second week. With the state government now opening talks with protesters, questions over alleged paper leaks and irregularities remain. Watch @PreetiChoudhry's ground report. #NewsToday# @sardesairajdeep

Will CJP now show up wherever there's a protest—be it the Jharkhand student agitation or the next paper leak? Watch as CJP Co-Convener @AshutoshRanka responds. #NewsToday# #AshutoshRanka# #KyaBoltiPublic# #StudentProtests# @sardesairajdeep

"The biggest complaint this generation has had is that there was no one ready to listen to them—and that's exactly what we want to change."- @AshutoshRanka With 'Kya Bolti Public', CJP aims to hear voices from across the country. Starting September 1, the campaign will embark on a nationwide listening tour. #NewsToday# #AshutoshRanka# #KyaBoltiPublic# #StudentProtests# @sardesairajdeep

Gen Z Reacts To RSS Chief "When those in power don't come forward for dialogue, how are students or any section of society supposed to respond? We've seen it during the CAA-NRC protests, JNU protests, and the Ken-Betwa protests in MP. There hasn't been any dialogue there either," says Harsh. #NewsToday# #RSS# #GenZ# #MohanBhagwat# @sardesairajdeep

#LIVE# | RSS reaches out to Gen Z & Gen Alpha: How is Gen Z reacting to Bhagwat's outreach? Why is the Church opposing the FCRA bill? #NewsToday# @SardesaiRajdeep | #ITLivestream#

INTERESTING: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat says there should be a dialogue with Gen Z, says the protestors are not ‘anti national’, an Andolan is legitimate as long as it is within the law. Says the grievances are ‘genuine’. Just days ago, another RSS functionary called CJP’s movement ‘anti-national’ and ‘anti Constitution’. So who does one believe? 🙏

EXCLUSIVE : ‘I do not approve of abusive language at all. But for the government, it's more a signal of how frustrated our youth have become, If I were PM I would introspect as to what have I done to make the youth so angry.. .. don’t shoot the messenger, focus on the message, filing FIRs and harassing teenagers is a low level response ..’ in his first interview since breaking his fast that triggered a union minister resignation, Sonam Wangchuk @Wangchuk66 talks on the Gen Z ‘revolt’, Cockroach Janta Party, allegations of a ‘deal’ with the govt, how union ministers ‘betrayed’ his trust , how his wife Gitanjali was keen to get Rahul Gandhi to come and break his fast, why every govt, irrespective of party, is now on notice and much more. @IndiaToday

Hockey India said it went by players and support staff recco & consultation to change jersey blue to saffron. We spoke to five different members across teams + HI officials. 'Not consulted,' they say. Neither was it discussed by its executive committee.
