🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* The opposition's selective outrage over Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) has once again reached peak comedic perfection. When Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor surges ahead to defeat the BJP in Bankipur, the EVMs are undoubtedly hailed as marvels of flawless democratic technology. When Congress leads comfortably through multiple rounds in Datia, Madhya Pradesh, the machines are certified pure, honest, and untouchable. Yet, the moment BJP

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* Manoj Jarange Patil’s call for a fresh Maratha reservation agitation starting August 29 offers a crucial moment of reflection for OBC youth. Previously, opposing Jarange indirectly shielded the state government, even as local governance bodies saw systemic misuse of bogus certificates and OBC ministers failed to advocate aggressively for their community. Rather than defending established political leaders—who rarely champion broader commun

🖋️ *अभिजीत राणे लिहितात* सुप्रीम कोर्टाने जंतर मंतरवरील आंदोलनातील हिंसेचा तपास सुरू ठेवण्याचे आदेश देत स्पेशल इन्व्हेस्टिगेशन टीमची गरज व्यक्त केली, पण CJP ने ही ऑर्डर मान्य नसल्याचे सांगून उद्धटपणा दाखवला. सर्वोच्च न्यायालयाचे आदेश नाकारणे म्हणजे अराजक निर्माण करण्याचा प्रयत्नच. त्यांचे प्रवक्ते सौरव दास यांनी CNN TV18 वर दिलेल्या मुलाखतीत आंदोलनाच्या ठिकाणी गुन्हेगारी प्रवृत्तीचे लोक पोलिसांनी येऊ दिले असा प्रश्न उपस्थित केला, पण आयोजक म्हणून जबाबदारी टाळून ती पोलिसांवर ढ

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* Sharad Pawar’s recent claim that he advised Prime Minister Narendra Modi to seek Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation exposes glaring political hypocrisy. While quick to claim credit for cabinet shifts and condemn police action against protesters, Pawar’s past actions severely undermine his current stance. As the guiding force of the Maha Vikas Aghadi coalition, he notably refrained from demanding the resignation of his own party minister, Naw

🖋️ *अभिजीत राणे लिहितात* गेल्या लोकसभा निवडणुकीनंतर भाजपची उलटी गिनती सुरू होईल, या भ्रमात वावरणाऱ्या विरोधी पक्षांना सर्व विधानसभा निकालांनी जबरदस्त धक्का दिला आहे. आगामी निवडणुकांमध्येही काही वेगळे घडण्याची चिन्हे नसल्याने विरोधकांमध्ये प्रचंड अस्वस्थता आहे. त्यामुळेच, जे मतपेटीतून साध्य होत नाही, त्याचा बदला थेट रस्त्यावर उतरून घेण्याचा घातक खेळ सुरू झाला आहे. तरुणांची माथी भडकवून देशात अराजकता माजवण्यासाठी परकीय शक्तींकडून कोट्यवधींचा निधी ओतला जात आहे. परदेशांतून सोशल म

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* Frustrated BJP supporters viewing viral video footage of protests argue that social media, once the party's ultimate strength, has turned into its greatest vulnerability. However, this outrage overlooks the strategic reality that these movements are opposition-sponsored operations equipped with YouTubers, staged provocation, and AI-driven narratives. Recognizing social media's declining credibility and susceptibility to manipulation, the B

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* Reports circulating on social media claim that several prominent Bollywood and Marathi celebrities were compensated to amplify support for the CJP movement. According to these online allegations, organizers targeted social media influencers and public figures with monetary incentives, leading a notable section of the entertainment industry to back the campaign. Observers draw parallels to the previous "All Eyes on Gaza" digital trend, whic

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* Arvind Kejriwal has officially announced he will join the protest at Jantar Mantar on Thursday evening at 5 PM, just as my “sources” predicted. This move seems aimed at giving Sonam Wangchuk’s hunger strike a dignified conclusion. The likely script tomorrow could be: “Requests poured in from across the country… so, respecting people’s wishes, I am ending my fast.” Whether that happens or not, time will tell. But one thing is clear—my sourc

🖋️ *अभिजीत राणे लिहितात* नांदेडजवळील उड्डाणपुलाचा भराव कोसळण्यामागे साधं कारण आहे – निकृष्ट दर्जाचं काम आणि पाण्याचा अयोग्य निचरा. रॅम्पसाठी वापरल्या जाणाऱ्या MSE/RE वॉल रचनेत पावसाचं पाणी बाहेर जाण्यासाठी ‘वीप होल्स’ आणि फिल्टर मीडिया असणं गरजेचं असतं. पण या पुलात नाही तर एकंदरच सगळ्याच सरकारी प्रकल्पांमध्ये हे नीट बसवलं जात नाही किंवा ते बांधकामादरम्यान ब्लॉक होतं. परिणामी पाणी भिंतीवर अतिरिक्त दाब निर्माण करते आणि मग भिंत कोसळते. शिवाय, योग्य मुरमाऐवजी चिकणमाती वापरली जात

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* Ukraine’s strikes destroyed 11 major Russian oil refineries, cutting Russia’s petrol and diesel output by 42%. While crude oil remains abundant, refined fuel shortages have led to long queues at petrol pumps. To cope, Russia plans to continue selling crude to India but also buy petrol, diesel, and aviation fuel from Indian refineries. Nayara Energy, with 49.53% ownership by Russia’s Rosneft, will supply much of its production to Russia, th

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* Over the years, the public has witnessed countless political "masterstrokes" from Devendra Fadnavis. From leaving Mumbai entirely to the Thackerays despite equal strength, to the failed early-morning oath ceremony with Ajit Pawar, and later engineering splits in both the Shiv Sena and the NCP to grab power. However, the harsh reality remains: these clever ploys only flooded the BJP with opportunistic clutter, deeply hurting the party's loy

🖋️ *अभिजीत राणे लिहितात* युरोपमध्ये सध्या भीषण उष्णतेची लाट आहे. फ्रान्समध्ये २५ जूनपासून जवळपास १,००० लोकांचा मृत्यू झाला आहे. रस्ते वितळत आहेत, ट्रॅफिक सिग्नल निकामी होत आहेत, रेल्वेचे रूळ वाकत आहेत. जर्मनीमध्ये लोकांना गारवा मिळावा म्हणून पाण्याचे फवारे मारणाऱ्या गाड्या फिरत आहेत. नागरिक नदी, तलाव, कॅनॉलमध्ये तासन्‌तास बसून उन्हापासून बचाव करत आहेत. एसी-पंख्यांसाठी इलेक्ट्रॉनिक दुकानांमध्ये इतकी गर्दी आहे की काही तासांतच स्टॉक संपतो. प्रगत तंत्रज्ञान आणि पायाभूत सुविधा अस

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* In May 2026, India’s new mandatory quality checks on tea exports struck Nepal hard, shutting down over 50 processing factories. Nearly 200,000 kilos of tea remain stuck in Kolkata warehouses, while another 900,000 kilos pile up in Nepal’s own storage, forcing plants to suspend operations. Farmers, workers, and traders now face severe economic distress, blaming Prime Minister Balen Shah’s anti-India stance for the crisis. Industry represent

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* This week the Indian Navy is inducting three warships in a single day, all built in India — INS Dunagiri, INS Agray, and INS Sanshodhak. Dunagiri, a Project 17A stealth frigate armed with BrahMos and Barak-8 missiles, will boost India’s dominance in the Indian Ocean. Agray, an Arnala-class anti-submarine vessel, is designed to counter Pakistan’s Hangor-class submarines, timed perfectly with China’s delivery of Hangor to Pakistan. Sanshodha

🖋️ *अभिजीत राणे लिहितात* विधानपरिषद निवडणुकीत नाशिकमध्ये खरा गेम झाला. एकनाथ शिंदेंच्या पक्षाने पैशांच्या जोरावर नरेंद्र दराडेंना पुन्हा उमेदवारी दिली, पण गोकुळ गीतेंनी गनिमी कावा करून त्यांचा पराभव केला. दराडेंनी भाजपच्या गणेश गीतेंना माघार घ्यायला लावली होती, तरीही गोकुळ गीतेंनी अपक्ष म्हणून ३५६ मते मिळवून विजय मिळवला. दराडे-गीते यांची कॉल रेकॉर्डिंगही व्हायरल झाली होती, ज्यात दबाव दिसत होता. भाजपने शिंदेंच्या नकारानंतर गोकुळ गीतेंना पाठिंबा दिला आणि तडजोडीच्या बैठका फोल ठ

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* Rahul Gandhi’s belated 50th birthday reminds us of a leader caught between ridicule and responsibility. Critics mock his inexperience, his scripted press meets, and his failure to foresee crises like COVID, while urging him to master the art of grand promises and political theatrics. Troll armies thrive on venom, yet his family’s sacrifices—Indira assassinated, Rajiv blown apart—remain undeniable. In a landscape where opponents flaunt fake

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* People say once bitten, twice shy—but Uddhav Thackeray seems untouched by that logic. Even after losing party, name, and symbol, he appears unbothered, almost careless. But then, he is a tiger, not someone sipping milk or buttermilk with caution. His silence is deceptive; when the tiger strikes, his roar will shake the ground. Closed-room promises, whispers of betrayal, defections, and accusations will all resurface when he unleashes his f
