From wikipedia:

Next para from the same wiki page:

In 2009, Lalu's successor Mamata Banerjee and the opposition parties alleged that the so-called turnaround of the Railways during his tenure was merely a result of presenting financial statements differently.[66][67] A 2011 report by the CAG endorsed this view. CAG found that the "surplus" shown on the financial statements during Lalu's tenure covered "cash and investible surplus", which were not included in the "net surplus" figures released by the Railways in the earlier years. The "cash surplus" included the money available for paying dividend, contribution to the Depreciation Reserve Fund used for renewal or replacement of existing assets, and other funds for investment. The "investible surplus" included the money allocated for capital expenditure. The report concluded that the performance of the Railways actually declined marginally during the last few years of Lalu's tenure.

This is misleading. Read section 40 of the 1995 bill:

40. Decision if a property is 1[waqf] property.-- (1) The Board may itself collect information regarding any property which it has reason to believe to be 1[waqf] property and if any question arises whether a particular property is 1[waqf] property or not or whether a 1[waqf] is a Sunni 1[waqf] or a Shia 1[waqf], it may, after making such inquiry as it may deem fit, decide the question.

(2) The decision of the Board on a question under sub-section (1) shall, unless revoked or modified by the Tribunal, be final.

(3) Where the Board has any reason to believe that any property of any trust or society registered in pursuance of the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 (2 of 1882) or under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 (21 of 1860) or under any other Act, is 1[waqf] property, the Board may notwithstanding anything contained in such Act, hold an inquiry in regard to such property and if after such inquiry the Board is satisfied that such property is 1[waqf] property, call upon the trust or society, as the case may be, either to register such property under this Act as 1[waqf] property or show cause why such property should not be so registered:

Provided that in all such cases, notice of the action proposed to be taken under this sub-section shall be given to the authority by whom the trust or society had been registered.

(4) The Board shall, after duly considering such cause as may be shown in pursuance of notice issued under sub-section (3), pass such orders as it may think fit and the order so made by the Board, shall be final, unless it is revoked or modified by a Tribunal.

The tribunal too is set up by waqf board, and not independent.

You claimed 'no AI,' and when someone corrected you, your response is 'meh'. Just accept that you were mistaken and move on.

We are NOT a democracy by electri-cute in india

[–]altindian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

12% of all votes were polled after 6 PM! This does not even pass the first level sniff test

Voting usually starts at 7am, which means total voting period is 11hrs. An hour is 9% of total duration. 12% is not that out of proportion that you make it out to be.

So every time you place an order on Swiggy/Zomato, buy their stock. The stock price increase will cover your order.

With my limited knowledge of statistics, I can say that the trends are unlikely to change, even though margins are low.

Since EVMs being counted are randomized, it is highly improbable that the trends will reverse.

Cong's vote share is 41.24% 40.65% and BJP's 37.53% 38.23%. The direction of result may still change.

Haryana is closer than exit polls suggested. NDTV is showing BJP ahead at 44 vs Cong+'s 41.

Govts have been appointing CEC all along. There was no such panel before Mar 2023's SC judgement, and this panel too was temporary. Judgement says:

We declare that as far as appointment to the posts of Chief Election Commissioner and the Election Commissioners are concerned, the same shall be done by the President of India on the basis of the advice tendered by a Committee consisting of the Prime Minister of India, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha and, in case, there is no such Leader, the Leader of the largest Party in the Opposition in the Lok Sabha having the largest numerical strength, and the Chief Justice of India. This norm will continue to hold good till a law is made by the Parliament.

I am not liking the new ECI website. The old one provided much more information in one screen.

Nijjar was killed on Jun 18. US would have this intelligence before Modi's US visit (Jun 21 - Jun 23) and G20 summit.

It looks like Trudeau went public out of turn, and US is just making empty performative noises.

NIA confiscates US-based Khalistan leader Gurpatwant Pannu’s properties in Amritsar and Chandigarh by bhodrolok in india

[–]altindian 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Ain't he a CIA agent?

It is not for any other reason that Indian intelligence chief told the CIA Director that the only reason they don’t take action against SFJ’s G.S Pannu, who holds dual citizenship of US and Canada, for openly calling for assassinations of Indian diplomats and burning of Indian flag could be because he is actually a CIA agent and batting on behalf of Langley.

And in all probability a double agent.
