Congratulations to the Jharkhand Assembly on this far-reaching piece of legislation. Rajasthan has already adopted a similar law. I had first introduced a Private Member's Bill proposing this & am delighted to see the idea being implemented by progressive-minded states. — PolitiTweet.org

Despite the public availability of PLFS data till Mar21, GOI cites data till FY20 only - since FY21 data for all quarters reveals a record national unemployment rate between 9-21%. With achhe din fading away for the jobless, GOI prefers to live in the past. What about our future? https://t.co/BDMzsX069d — PolitiTweet.org

This is an eye opener! For all our chest banging & rhetoric on Aatmanirbhar Bharat & proud AYUSH tradition, data shows we import far more AYUSH products than we export. Under this government,we have lost our long-standing global reputation of being world leaders even in ayurveda. https://t.co/k3lCrvbpoB — PolitiTweet.org

Our current Solar PV installation stands at 47 GW, while the announced target is 100 GW by March 2023. For a country w/ so much potential, both in terms of sunshine &talent,this government's rhetoric keeps exceeding its achievements.Time's running out on getting our act together. https://t.co/VQRU5raCsf — PolitiTweet.org

I have been trying to get the Centre's perspective on Kerala's SilverLine project, but GoI seems to think ignorance is bliss. Concerns expressed on a project of such immense importance need to be addressed thru transparent & consultative deliberations w/ all stakeholders. https://t.co/b0Tza9Fw7B — PolitiTweet.org

GoI & @nitin_gadkari have been plugging electric vehicles, but prices are still prohibitive, subsidy support is weak &infrastructure4charging remains fledgling. EV also needs a strong renewables programme to derive intended benefits, but our promises at COP26 indicate otherwise. https://t.co/RLyrVWrNu7 — PolitiTweet.org

This should be fascinating! @SyimaAslam has done so much to make the @BradfordLitFest the best literary showcase of mainly South Asian writers to a largely South Asian-British audience. Writers have much to thank her for! — PolitiTweet.org

Pretty shoddy reporting by ⁦@DeccanHerald. At no point have I expressed support for the rail project; I just declined to criticise it before I had studied the details. As for the CM, I only endorsed his welcome for private sector investment in Kerala! https://t.co/edD1tQf64c — PolitiTweet.org

My additional objection in the Lok Sabha to relying on Aadhaar in electoral rolls. @KirenRijiju (whom you hear being given the floor after my brief remarks) had no answer on this particular point.
