New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems to be excited about the forthcoming World Yoga Day on 21 June — still two weeks away. He is now teaching ‘tadasana’ and we wonder if it’s going to be included in the Yoga Day exhibitions across the country.
Doing Tadasana properly would enable you to practice many other Asanas with ease.
Know more about this Asana and its benefits. #YogaDay2019 pic.twitter.com/YlhNhcRas8

New Home Minister Amit Shah took time out from his busy schedule to congratulate the Indian cricket team for their first win in the 2019 World Cup. This is not at all surprising — Shah is the president of the Gujarat Cricket Association.
Well played #TeamIndia
Superb knock by @ImRo45.
Congratulations to skipper @imVkohli and the entire team for winning their opening match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. #CWC19
Way to go. pic.twitter.com/5ymhBqpK6k

From Home Minister Shah to Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and now BJP MP Tejasvi Surya — looks like the Men in Blue have impressed the BJP. Surya asks Kohli & Co. to bring home the World Cup and make 2019 even more historic. For once, there can be no disagreement on that.
Wishing Captain @imVkohli and entire #TeamIndia the very best as they embark on their World Cup journey from today!
I wish you carry the #WorldCup back home and make 2019 more historic 🙂 #INDvSA

Ivanka Trump informed her followers that she and her father US President Donald Trump were en route to The Hague for a summit. That elicited some interesting responses from the twitterati.
En route to The Hague! ????#GES2019

Mahila Congress head Sushmita Dev invoked the “josh” catchphrase from the popular Hindi movie Uri to encourage the government to find the missing AN-32 aircraft with 13 people onboard. Alas, it will take more than just “josh” to trace the plane.
No signal from the emergency transmitter locator of the An 32 makes things more difficult. Thirteen persons on board. Grim situation. Hope the government shows some Josh in finding them. pic.twitter.com/JlSiUQStk8

Congress MP from Assam Gaurav Gogoi says the formation of two new cabinet committees is indicative of the BJP’s arrogance. With the kind of majority the BJP enjoys in the Lok Sabha, who wouldn’t be arrogant, Mr. Gogoi?
The two new Cabinet Committees formed for- Employment and Growth- are an indication of the BJP government’s complacency and arrogance over JOBS in past 5 years. Instead of creating employment, BJP was advising young India to sell pakodas. Hope things change this time.

There was a huge crowd outside actor Shah Rukh Khan’s house Wednesday on Eid and US TV personality David Letterman got to witness the spectacle. Congress spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill forwarded a photograph of SRK and Letterman together. Looks like Mr. Letterman is enjoying the fanfare more than King Khan.
When East meets West. SRK & Dave. pic.twitter.com/kG7tpEJTcK

It’s rare that a politician and more so a cabinet minister appreciates free advice and opinions coming her way from all directions. When Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman encouraged people to share their ideas for Budget 2019, she really got what she asked for — and said a pretty thank you, too. Wish the men in your cabinet follow suit, Nirmala ji.
Grateful for every thought/idea that’s being shared by scholars, economists and enthusiasts through print, electronic, and on social media. I read many of them; also, my team carefully collates them for me. Value every bit. Thanks. Please keep them coming. #Budget2019

New External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar had big shoes to fill when it comes to his predecessor Sushma Swaraj’s Twitter popularity and her prompt responses to issues raised by the people on the micro-blogging site. Jaishankar has, however, jumped to his task, feet first. Just three days on the job and he’s already flagging twitter appeals — on an average three per day.
Good work @IndAmbFrance & team for providing such quick service! https://t.co/y1AgL9ujZu

The BJP Karnataka continues its fairly successful campaign against the Congress-JD(S) government. The party now wants Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy’s holidays to be trimmed.
Oh yeah !!
First they should start with reducing the holidays of CM @hd_kumaraswamy.https://t.co/L5sO4eEbuc
