Fresh implosions in Shiv Sena point to deepening fault-lines in Uddhav Thackeray’s party, which has now been reduced to a local Mumbai outfit. It’s a reflection of Thackeray’s apathetic leadership. Blaming political adversaries or defectors won’t help. Politics is not done on social media, and loyalty is commanded, not demanded.
Tamil Nadu’s white paper is a fiscal surgery. TVK govt must stop the bleeding
Tamil Nadu’s white paper is a fiscal surgery. Is there a scalpel too? Real liabilities hit Rs 13.18 lakh crore, including PSU debt; interest exceeded capital expenditure for eight years; 87% of revenue is pre-committed before budgeting begins. The TVK government is upfront; now, it must actively stop the bleeding.
The political journey of the original Shiv Sena, founded by Balasaheb, has ended. So, and this is very painful, has the journey of the original NCP, founded by Shri Sharad Pawar. The Congress, which had a series of CMs over fifteen years from 1999 to 2014, is down to a whimper. For all practical purposes, there is no opposition in Maharashtra.
