Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah have earned a place in history. The clarity and determination which they have shown today proves ‘Modi hai toh Mumkin hai’. Congratulations to the entire nation.

I have today written a letter to the Hon’ble Prime Minister, a copy of which I am releasing:

Saddened, pained & broken on demise of Sushmaji. She was one of the most outstanding politicians in the Present Era. She distinguished in all positions. She held Senior Positions with the Party, NDA Govt. & while in opposition. She leaves behind a void which is difficult to fill.

पाकिस्‍तान को दिया गया “मोस्ट फ़ेवर्ड नेशन” का दर्जा वापस ले लिया गया है।

The government’s decision in relation to Article 370 is a monumental decision towards National integration.

पूरे देश ने एक स्वर में सरकार की कार्यवाही को उचित मानते हुए उसका समर्थन किया है। फिर क्यों? भारत के विपक्षी दल सरकार के इस आतंक विरोधी कार्य को राजनीति से प्रेरित मान रहे हैं ।

Delighted to be back home.

Even a fool will not compare prices of a simple flyaway Aircraft with a weaponised Jet.

If we analyse Rahul Gandhi’s two speeches on Rafale, they are based on a personal hatred for the Prime Minister emanating from envy. A failed student always hates the class topper.

India’s happiness on return of Wing Commander Abhinandan is unprecedented. I salute the courage and resilience of Wg Commander Abhinandan.

The Congress and its’ President can call an honest Prime Minister ‘Chor’. No Model Code of Conduct is preventing that. If the PM calls the Congress legacy as ‘Corrupt No. 1’ the Congress complains that the Model Code of Conduct is violated. Are there two Model Codes of Conduct?

Delighted to be back at Home. My gratitude to the Doctors, Nursing officers and the paramedics who looked after me for over the past three weeks. I wish to thank all well-wishers, colleagues and friends who were very concerned and continued to wish me for my recovery.

P. Chidambaram believes that frying pakodas does not create jobs. Rahul Gandhi says that running Dhabas can be a launch pad for start ups. In dynastic parties political positions are heritable, wisdom is not.

The Grandson of the ‘Emergency dictator’ displays his real DNA – attacks and intimidates an independent Editor.

Deeply disappointed with the Congress Party’s decision of not fielding Priyanka Gandhi from Varanasi. The last two months that she has been in the public life has driven home the point, “India has changed, dynasties don’t matter". Her exit from the contest shows what matters.

Great Day for India. No one who cheats India will go scot free. The Judgement of UK’s Court is welcome. An offender benefited during the UPA. The NDA brings him to book.

The original mistake, both on Kashmir and China, was committed by the same person.

Modi Government clears one more step to get Mallya extradited while Opposition rallies around the Saradha Scamsters.

The difference between the UPA and NDA-“The ease of doing corruption has been replaced by the ease of doing business"

If the Prime Minister is honest, if he imposes a culture of honesty in governance, no person who cheats India will escape.

What Rahul Gandhi suggested was single GST rate of 18 %. This is different from suggesting a cap of 18 %. This was the grand stupid idea. Can a Hawai chappal and a BMW car be taxed at the same rate?

We remember the life and works of Veer Savarkar on his Jayanti and pay him our respectful tributes. His nationalistic ideals, patriotism and courage guided generations of Indians. We bow to Veer Savarkar.

It cannot be that the Supreme Court is wrong, the CAG is wrong and only the dynast is right.

Prime Minister Modi’s 5 year tenure will be regarded by future historians as a time point where a movement to free India from corruption began. The Government and its Ministers have conclusively proved that it is possible to run an honest government in India.

Leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Mamata Banerjee must realise that India’s sovereignty is not a play thing. Sovereignty and citizenship are the soul of India. Imported vote banks are not.

Fake issues raised in Rafale, Balakot, Judge Loya’s death, Bank loan waiver, JNU issues, EVM, GST, demonetisation or Nirav Modi & Mallya, or be it special status for Andhra Pradesh, or the issues of economy, every time fakery & manufactured issues of opposition fell apart.

The Cross Border terror attack in Pulwama was a reality. The Balakot Operation was India’s Anti- Terror preemptive strike to defend its Sovereignty.

The Kaamdars use India’s Naval assets to strike at terror. The Naamdars use them for personal vacations with family and in-laws.

Has Bengal acquired a Government of Gangsters? The attack on Amit Shah’s peaceful rally by the TMC is deplorable . Is a free & fair Poll possible in Bengal? All eyes are now on the Election Commission.

Yesterday, Rahul Gandhi said, “I have dismantled Modi’s image”, how do you damage the image of a person who is riding perhaps at the peak of his popularity? How do you damage the reputation of a person who is known to be incredibly honest. Seems the Dynast is day dreaming.

The statement of Vijay Mallaya that he met me & offered settlement is factually false in as much as it does not reflect truth. Since 2014, I have never given him any appointment to meet me and the question of his having met me does not arise.

Humour, wit, sarcasm survive in a free society. They have no place in autocracies. Dictators laugh at people. They don’t like people laughing at them. Bengal, today is a case in point.

“How much does he know? When will he know?”

My appeal to India’s opposition - “Let the country speak in one voice”. Please introspect - “Your ill advised statement is being used by Pakistan to bolster its case”.

The latest announcement of the Congress Party if tested on simple arithmetic then ₹72,000 is less than 2/3rd of the existing DBT under Modi government, which averages ₹1.068 lakh annually. So what is being claimed by the Congress Party - A bluff announcement.

Well done NIA for cracking the dangerous terrorist module.

Once in AIIMS his doctor asked him “Kya Aap Jhuk Gaye The?”, to which the man in pain not losing his sense of humour replied in the context of the Emergency: “झुकना तो सीखा नहीं डॉक्टर साहब । यूँ कहिये मुड गए होंगे” later he penned “टूट सकते हैं मगर हम झुक नहीं सकते”

कांग्रेस के घोषणा पत्र में कश्मीरी पंडितों के लिए कोई जगह नहीं है l ये है इनकी धर्म निरपेक्षता l

The world’s largest democracy must seriously introspect whether public discourse should be allowed to be polluted by the falsehood of a ‘Clown Prince’.

“मोदी है तो मुमकिन है” यह सिर्फ़ नारा नहीं यह भारत के विकास का मार्ग है l

India stands vindicated. Masood Azhar is now a global terrorist. India is in safe hands. This marks a high point for the Prime Minister’s foreign policy.

Why are the pseudo liberals silent? Waiting for the Editors guild’s response.

Falsehood is not a substitute for Rahul Gandhi’s failed politics.

Why is Rahul Gandhi so disturbed if integrity issues of the Rajiv Gandhi Government are raised? Why did Ottavio Quattrocchi get kickbacks in Bofors? Who was the ‘Q’ connection? No reply has come.

Rahul Gandhi quoted a price of Rs.700 Cr per aircraft in Delhi and Karnataka in April and May this year. In Parliament, he reduced it to Rs.520 Cr per aircraft, in Raipur he increased it to Rs.540 Cr;

With Nirav Modi’s arrest in London the compulsive contrarians’ fakery has again been exposed. This also busts the fake campaign that the present Government had anything to do with him. The country is reassured again that whoever cheats India and its institutions cannot get away.

I am being treated for kidney related problems & certain infections that I have contracted. I am therefore currently working from controlled environment at home. The future course of my treatment would be determined by the doctors treating me.

राहुल गांधी स्पष्ट करें कि बैकॉप्स कंपनी भारत में क्यों बनाई गई थी और बाद में लंदन में? राहुल गांधी अपने से जुड़े मामलों में जिस तरह से चुप्पी साध लेते हैं वह इस बार नहीं चलेगा। इस संदिग्ध सौदे में उनका नाम सीधे तौर पर जुड़ा हुआ है। चोर मचाए शोर !

Saddened to know about the demise of senior BJP leader Shri Manohar Parrikar ji, Chief Minister of Goa. He always led by example in his public life & was loved by masses. He will be missed by everyone of us. May God render peace to the departed soul. Om Shanti ॐ शान्ति

Congress President Rahul Gandhi stood shoulder to shoulder with 'tukde tukde gang' to defend their right of free speech to champion the cause of breaking India into pieces. He deviated from the Congress legacy of not associating with these extremists.

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today, released the new series Rs.1, Rs.2, Rs.5, Rs.10 and Rs.20 coins. These coins contain design features which will be of great assistance to visually impaired persons.

As against a target of Rs. 80,000 crore for disinvestment for the current year, the divestment receipts have touched Rs. 85,000 crores today.

When an Economist turns into a politician, he looses sense of both economy and politics.

After Rafale, the non-existent loan waiver to 15 industrialists – the next big lie – EVM hacking.

When Mamata Banerjee decided to sit on a Dharna she received support of many opposition parties who aspire to be in power. Most of them, or their affiliates are today being investigated, prosecuted and in some cases have also been convicted for crimes of corruption.

मोदी सरकार ने पाँच वर्षों में टैक्स दर को घटाया है और साथ ही साथ आर्थिक स्थिति को मज़बूत भी किया जो पिछले ६७ वर्षों में कभी नहीं हुआ l

आज राहुल गांधी के बयानों की विश्वसनीयता उनके माफ़ी माँगने के साथ समाप्त ही हो गयी l

The “half Maoist” is a serious threat to Indian democracy. Willingly or otherwise, they become over-ground face of the underground. Unfortunately some political parties see the Maoist as their instrument in the anti-NDA cause. It’s high time that people recognise this malaise.

आज के एतिहासिक दिन जब ए-सैट मिसाइल का परीक्षण कर भारत दुनिया की एक प्रमुख अंतरिक्ष शक्ति बन गया है कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष और विपक्षी दल की प्रतिक्रिया खेदजनक है।

महान संत तुलसीदास जी की जयंती पर उनको कोटि कोटि नमन |

To facilitate taxpayers, late fee on filing of GSTR-3B for Aug&Sept has been waived. Late fee paid will be credited back to taxpayer ledger.

It is a matter of disgrace that the Congress Party has no remorse over the Sikh killings of 1984.

Celebrated Bhai Dooj today

As we complete 2 years of demonetisation today, it has been established that demonetisation, a key step in a chain of important decisions taken by the Government, had a huge impact in formalising the economy.

Sh. Kharge dissents regularly. He dissented when Shri Alok Verma was appointed, dissented when Shri Alok Verma was transferred and has now dissented when Shri R. K. Shukla has been appointed.

The West Bengal Chief Minister went a step further. She started doubting the veracity of the incident and wanted to know the operational details. The credibility of both the Government and our Air Force is being doubted. Even Congress leaders have raised similar questions.

My complements to the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and the Home Minister Shri Amit Shah for correcting a historical blunder.

पुलवामा में आतंकवादी घटना को अंजाम देने वाले दोषियों को अपनी करतूत के लिए भारी कीमत चुकानी पड़ेगी।

On a historic day when India became a leading space power of the world by testing A-SAT missile, the reaction of Congress President & Opposition party is regrettable.

Let politics not come in way of farmers’ interest. West Bengal, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh & Delhi govts. have not certified a single beneficiary for the PM-KISAN payment. Karnataka has certified only 17 farmers.

How is the Prime Minister’s caste relevant? He has never done caste politics. He has only done developmental politics. He is inspired by nationalism. (1/2)

Article 35A surreptitiously inserted by Pt. Nehru’s govt. in the Constitution in 1954 vide Presidential order is responsible for discrimination by the J&K govt. between two categories of citizens on the basis of declaring some as permanent residents while leaving out the others.

Mani Shankar Aiyer’s ‘Neech’ -attack on Prime Minister- a deliberate casteist statement, a convenient apology, a strategic suspension. People should see through this game

The whole nation has spoken in one voice. Why, then is India’s opposition alleging that the Government is politicising our Anti-Terror Operations.

GST collections in April exceeding Rs. 1 lakh crore is a landmark achievement and a confirmation of increased economic activity as brought out by other reports

Today I feel it is much more than hallucinations. Is it a personality issue where he lies a dozen times and then in self delusion believes it to be true or is it a case of a ‘Clown Prince’ out-clowning himself?

GST collections for October 2018 have crossed Rs. 1 lakh crore. The success of GST is lower rates, lesser evasion, higher compliance, only one tax and negligible interference by taxation authorities.

Electoral bonds will cleanse the political funding system by permitting only clean money in donations.
