My book on the GM debate - its roots in new agrarian & environmental movements, the history of biotechnology, and the rise of pvt seed companies - will be out in November from Yale University Press. On the cover are delicious non-GM brinjals from Nashik - photo by @ChitrangadaC

Criminal charges should be filed against those who defrauded the voters and those who certified the fraud.
This @thetribunechd exclusive report is damming. On Supreme Court's orders, an EVM result of a Haryana Panchayat election was redone. Shockingly, the earlier result in favour of the sitting Sarpanch was negated. It only shows how people have to be doubly alert to save democracy.

And all reports are in the RG-alleges-ECI-denies format. None have dared to confirm (or refute) Rahul Gandhi's allegations - which is what is required of journalism. #RahulGandhi #ECI.
Only one leading national newspaper found Rahul Gandhi’s findings on voter fraud to be worthy of being front page lead. This wasn’t even a late night presser.

At this point, there's enough in the public domain to reverse the burden of proof: The general elections 2024 & at least the Maharashtra elections 2024 are suspect - until the ECI demonstrates otherwise. #ECI #VoteChori.
If the Congress is correct about these manipulations (and their work looks meticulous) then, even with such tricks, the BJP only managed 240 seats. Which begs the obvious question: how deep (or shallow) does support for the party run?.

And why is rent not a political issue in a country of tenants? In a country where every 11 months, a tenant competes with brokers who promise landlords 10+% rent increases?. Because most pol parties are beholden to the propertied.
Why is affordable urban housing not on the political agenda?.

We cannot vaccinate our way out of a trust crisis. Nor can we flatten public health into dashboards and coverage stats while pretending the politics of access and education has vanished.
