Socialism and secularism are obviously ideas that BJP leaders are ready to neither gulp down nor spit out. That explains the party’s rather clumsy attempt to come up with its own versions.
What if Chirag Paswan also has the numbers to take the opposition’s tally to the majority mark? After all, Paswan has maintained a ‘brotherly’ relationship with Tejashwi, too.
PM Modi has got his mojo back after Operation Sindoor. The only regret he must have is why he allowed his party colleagues to malign and denigrate our armed forces with impunity. Was politics worth it?
For the BJP, 2025 offers an opportunity to finally fulfil its dream of having its own CM in Bihar. It would only be grateful if PK could repeat what Chirag Paswan did in 2020.
PM Modi has set a template that his successors—no matter from which party—won’t be able to divert from or abandon. It has become an unwritten national security code.
Another reason cited by BJP's spin doctors is the Bihar Assembly election. It’s fallacious, too. Such a big decision is not taken in view of just one Assembly election.
Amit Shah is virtually running Jammu and Kashmir. But it would be unfair to seek accountability for security lapses from him because he has to ensure the BJP’s victory in every election across the country.
There is a long list of BJP leaders whom the party distanced itself from after controversial statements—only to reward them later. Nishikant Dubey has now joined this coveted list.
Shashi Tharoor’s diagnosis, prognosis and prescription for Congress' problems were all perfect. But Rahul Gandhi and his coterie in the CWC looked rather upset by it.
Just as central ministries and state departments are represented by designated spokespersons, police headquarters should also appoint media officers for daily briefings.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
