One year isn’t enough for a fair evaluation of Delhi’s BJP-led government. It’s yet to find its feet and get its mind around air and water pollution. It’s, however, better than the Aam Aadmi Party that perpetually remained in opposition. CM Rekha Gupta should now focus on governance, not optics.
Indian Youth Congress’ shirtless protest embarrassed the nation
Indian Youth Congress’ shirtless protest at India’s prestigious global event has embarrassed the nation, to say the least.
