How do you get a Union Minister to tweet what you want? Well, you go and edit the trending document made by BJP IT cell, and then you control what they tweet. Thread.

Here's the video of this morning when their trending document got automagically updated :-)

And then you can get a Union Minister to tweet that "working for the middle class is low on the agenda of Modi Govt"

You can get a BJP state unit and a Union Minister to tweet that "Modi govt has not made inclusive development as the focal point"

3/n
You can get all IT cell coolies to tweet that Modi govt has destroyed all villages in India. Or that Modi Govt has made women a slave of "धुएं"/cooking"

4/n
While it might seem like a laughing matter, the purpose here is to demonstrate that a non government entity sitting in BJP's office is controlling what a Union Minister is tweeting.

5/n
For eg, in the past, @PonnaarrBJP tweeted that bringing 'down' approval time "600 to 1800" is an improvement. No one noticed this. Because they didn't know that they were tweeting from an edited document even back then.

6/n
Will let the BJP IT cell figure out where all they have bungled and how often have they tweeted out of edited documents. :-)

7/7
Union Minister @PonnaarrBJP is now busy deleting tweets, but we got screenshots :-)

And archives :-) https://t.co/MDcg8CrMq5
Yes, this also happened ;-)

"Dishonesty and lack of transparency is..."
Once, we also made them recommend that people should start reading Alt News.

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
