US is interfering in India's internal affair just weeks before elections. Is it some kind of tactic?
Washington lacks understanding of India's national mentality and history and continues to make "unfounded accusations" about religious freedoms in India, says a Russian spokesperson.
so this is why the #Trump#GOP mafia wanted to kneecap the Federal Elections Commission. during Trump's term, they completely defunded it, to the point there was one commissioner for the Democrats posting on Twitter memos because they even didn't have a budget for press releases.
Through June 1, 969 million Indians will vote to elect the next government in the world's biggest democratic exercise.

Ich muss allerdings zugeben: Neben den Programmen (Papier ist ja geduldig - da kann man allerhand Schönes reinschreiben) sind mir auch die Personen sehr wichtig, und da habe ich besonders bei Volt meine Probleme.
Auf jeden Fall: Europa ist wichtig und diese Wahl besonders!
Macron a fixé un objectif à la pauvre Valérie Hayer pour les Européennes: "22%, c'est faisable", répète le président, rêvant de réitérer le score de 2019. "C'est irréaliste, comme la trajectoire du déficit public", ricane un ancien conseiller, allusion à la nouvelle feuille de route gouvernementale pour faire revenir le déficit public sous les 3 % du PIB d'ici à 2027. "Le président n'est pas magicien". Avec un peu de poudre de perlimpinpin...
The political landscape in Maharashtra looks vastly different from what it was in 2019. While the BJP on paper is in alliance with the official factions of the 2 biggest regional parties in the state, the factions led by their founders stand against it. The charts below explains how BJP traded uncertainty for influence in Maharashtra.
the fact that Brasil prosecuted #Bolsonaro for his election interference (before his coup attempt) before #Trump tells you why +16 years of antifascist governments in #Brasil were absolutely needed.
as i have said before, am going to say again: Kissinger's Operation Condor in Latin America is proof that USA's #1 export is #fascism.

Vladimir Putin began his fifth term as Russian leader at a glittering Kremlin inauguration, setting out on another six years in office after destroying his political opponents, launching a devastating war in Ukraine and concentrating all power in his hands.
In India, when you go to vote they mark a line on your left index finger's nail and cuticle with an "indelible" blue/dark purple ink to prevent voter fraud. This stain doesn't come off for a few weeks. What I didn't know is that there are several other countries that have also adopted this election ink and in some countries they stain the index finger tip completely!
It's 11 am here rn and already the temp has gone up to 38 deg C. I'm so glad that we left early in the morning today to go vote for the Lok Sabha elections. At 8 am it was cool cloudy weather and we didn't have to stand in the queue too long 🙂
"In the two weeks before October's election, more people than ever before (454,000 people) enrolled to vote, including more than 100,000 enrolments on election day.
The Electoral Commission did not expect this number of late enrolments, putting pressure on its systems, the report said."
Its now a common refrain in Indian politics that BJP has no qualms inducting leaders from parties that they have accused of misgovernance and corruption before. But are turncoats really a post-2014 phenomenon? I and Abhishek Jha attempt to answer to this question with the limited data we have available.
We are still underestimating the historical gravity--the dark awesomeness--of the last answer #HopeHicks gave under direct examination.
