The team of the future that Sonia is building ahead of Rahul Gandhi’s impending return as Congress president is picked based on love-at-first-sight principles.
While Kejriwal has grabbed headlines, it’s Naveen Patnaik in east, Uddhav Thackeray in west and Palaniswami in south who have outperformed all in Covid crisis.
Modi reacted a bit late to the Covid-19 crisis but has won the battle of optics. His adversaries though remain their usual self — confused and full of self-doubt.
Modi government has continuously undermined the IAS, chipping away its rights and privileges. But the coronavirus pandemic is seeing the comeback of IAS officers.
From former US president George W Bush to former Madhya Pradesh CM Arjun Singh and ex-Odisha CM Giridhar Gamang, calamities have tested the mettle of many leaders.
With ally BJP standing in total obeisance, RJD-Congress in disarray, and TINA factor helping him, JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar looks all set to return. So why is Bihar still on edge?
BJP functionaries believe JP Nadda is not ambitious enough to try to come out of Amit Shah’s shadow. With Assam and West Bengal at stake, is Nadda merely the fall guy?
Be it Modi and Kejriwal bypassing the MCC or Anurag Thakur and Adityanath’s vitriolic remarks, poll watchdog’s selective actions could have been avoided.
If the Congress was putting up a fight in Delhi election campaign, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal would be worried. But it isn’t, which has left BJP angry.
The political trajectory is clear. Asim Munir is now prepared to convict and sentence Imran Khan for instigating a rebellion against the army chief, with no possibility of mercy.
RBI data shows 26 states and Union Territories couldn’t regain pre-pandemic foreign tourist footfalls in 2024, but domestic tourism surged 27 percent compared to 2019.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
I have some words of advice for you, Rahul, now that you are closer to the throne. First, you must prevail upon your mother and her coterie to change their “communal secularism” agenda that is completely polarizing our nation and alienating the majority population by attempting to destroy their self respect, into ‘national secularism’ that is truly inclusive of the nation . Ram Jethmalani to Rahul
This article is like the answer written by a student who failed to read the question properly!
This is a team formed to assist the government in the fight against the virus. It’s a collection of individuals the Congress thought best suited for that one purpose. Yes, they might also try to appear smarter than the govt in the process. (Like Rahul Gandhi has already done, making Modi seem like the original Pappu). But that’s alright, as long as we all benefit.
Why are you trying to read between two clothing lines to speculate on who has the more expensive washing machine?!
If the BJP had even the least apprehension that the Economy, Coronavirus and ‘jobs’ could make their 2024 campaign tough, they can now rest easy. They are bound to have a plain sailing with the so called, India’s “Principal” opposition party and its clueless leader, leading a bunch of non performers, spearheading this Consultative group, whose only task would be to think up smart sounding but inane acronyms, and thinking up the worst ways to mock at and ridicule Modi. . “That” is the only thing that pleases Rahul, and they will, all of them, be falling over themselves to outsmart each other doing ONLY that..,
I think opinions expressed by Print are doing more disservice to the reader.They are not clear where they stand- with the present dispensation or against it.They have not left their Indian Express roots.Critcize,criticize congress and be fence sitters when it come to the MODI .
Not a fan of the Congress but this DK Singh writes iike a jilted lover who was rejected by the INC and is therefore revenge f*cking the BJP. If Sonia is junking the old dinosaurs who no longer have any mass conncet- what is the issue? We need a bette, more agile opposition. And why the nonsensical reference to Shadwell. You sound like a stuck record, DK. Please get some therapy.
You must have been paid handsomely for this Pro-Congress article?The New young blood get no chance to form any leadership in the party which will be ruled by Gandhi/Vadra Dynasty?Hope this is how you praise Sonia but Modi-3 will return with Congress will even have smaller numbers in Lok Sabha.Congress is about looting the Treasury and keeping its party members with the loot and poor people are just vote getters.
Long live BJP.
The author is attempting to pick holes. He must to Nair who has analyzed his speech and picked up 7 valid suggestions worth considering and he also made comparison With PM Modi and concluded that Modi was able to convey no assurance better than worthwhile suggestion made by Rahul
Whatever congress party does is not appreciated by the media. Should the party stop doing anything as it did not win election? Bjp lost elections for almost 6 decades. Did it leave everything and sit idle? In politics there is no end of life to any party. Some gets elected and some loose . It is law of life. At least Rahul handling has guts to resign. Had the states of veterans like MP, Rajasthan , Gujarat and Chattisgarh performed well, the scenario would have been different. It is easy to blame Rahul for everything. After all losers have no place for appreciation.
Why do you prefer to give examples of British kings and poets…this does not connect with us Indians so much. Perhaps you are educated in uk . It is shame that such people end up writing columns who probably have failed all other exams then English. What a looser!!!
There should be a sunset clause for the Gandhi family to start with !
India’s future is in safe hands as long as Rahul ji is leading the opposition.
Ha!
A come back for RaGa?
NOT!
But for his name and family, he wouldn’t even win as a dog catcher.
Poor Pappu!

Get rid of biggest weakness RAGA and everything will fall in place ! -Lakhani

Sunset clause toh Gandhi family ko apply karna chahiye. 2. Never read Dryden. Sounds more like something Dr Shashi Tharoor would have done.
Prescient analysis. Good.
Dear Singh ,
It is clear .
very little journalism in it .
Pls dont under estimate readers intelligence.
This is the beginning of the end of Congress.

What is this motley crew going to do? Play “minister, minister”?
