A mere ₹200 crore will be squandered on a new state office!
And this is the same Uttar Pradesh—
where hospitals have no beds,
government schools have no teachers,
village roads are in ruins,
youth have no jobs,
and farmers don't see the value of their hard work!
But they want—
👉 Offices with air-conditioned rooms
👉 High-tech war rooms
👉 VIP parking
👉 Interiors worth lakhs
👉 Security worth crores
But the question is, what could have been done for the public with ₹200 crore?
✅ 2,000 homes could have been built for poor families (assuming a cost of 1 lakh per home)
✅ 40 modern government schools could have been built (~5 crore per school)
✅ ICU wards could have been installed in 25 major government hospitals
✅ Free medicine centers could have been established in every major hospital in Lucknow
✅ 20,000 unemployed youth could have been provided training and employment
✅ 500 kilometers of roads could have been built or improved in villages
✅ 20,000 marriages of poor daughters could have taken place
What kind of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas" is this?
This is clearly "development of power"!

India’s new data rules put the state above citizens https://idronline.org/article/rights/indias-new-data-rules-put-the-state-above-citizens/
the new rules come eight years after the Supreme Court declared privacy to be a fundamental right. But while they provide immediate powers to the government, they postpone citizens’ rights by 18 months.
The real substance of privacy—clear consent, the ability to take back permission, the right to correct or delete your data, and enforceable timelines for grievances—will not come into effect until mid-2027.
there is no independence evident in the institutions that are meant to ensure accountability
"The answer lies in the details – in comparing specific provisions of the old laws with their equivalents in the new codes."
For example: "the most consequential change concerns retrenchment – the permanent termination of workers’ employment"... under the IDA 1947, establishments "employing 100 or more workers were required to obtain permission from the central or state government before laying off, retrenching, or closing down operations." Under the new code, "Companies with up to 300 employees can now retrench staff without any approval."
