When Modi factor is absent in states, Amit Shah's election machinery also fails. 'Masterstrokes' like installing CMs from non-dominant groups come to a naught.
PM Modi seldom talks about his ‘achhe din’ promise, but people still remember it. These voices from the ground are likely to be drowned in victory celebrations soon.
Indian polity is witnessing a melting away of opposition parties with some putting up a fight on Twitter. But China’s CPC may have a permanent solution.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
I dont think anyone has any idea how to rein in Delhi polution, without doing some redical change without hurting some people and/or using lots of money.
NB: If you read Babarnama (Asiatic Society version) you will see how babar describes Delhi (in 1526) and its no different from now.
The financial cost of cleaning our air and water would be humongous. China first pursued explosive growth at the cost of the environment and then started the process of repair. India should try to do both in harmony. It is becoming clear that the move to $ 5 trillion and beyond will have to be environmentally sustainable.
One does not know how it works in Delhi, but in the states, MLAs, from both the ruling party and the opposition, meet regularly with ministers, get a lot of useful work done for their constituencies. 2. Many years ago, spent a night at the Majestic MLAs’ hostel, opposite Regal cinema in Colaba. The room had been bifurcated, with a small portion for the MLA, a larger portion for visitors during the day, guests at night. Less important visitors from the constituency slept in the passage. A subsidised canteen on the ground floor, open to all. Medical treatment, admissions, transfers, people expect those they have voted for to do things for them, all through five years.
