Mayawati Tuesday hinted the BSP will contest assembly bypolls in UP alone, after blaming SP's Akhilesh Yadav for the alliance’s drubbing in 2019 elections.
A new ad campaign by condom brand Durex talks about #OrgasmInequality. It says that nearly 70 per cent women in India don’t orgasm every time during sex.
At least 11 people, including three Indians, have died on the Mount Everest this year with overcrowding at the highest peak proving to be a major concern.
The 125 APAs include 86 Unilateral APAs (UAPAs) and 39 Bilateral APAs (BAPAs). The total number of APAs since the start of the APA programme has risen to 641, with 506 UAPAs and 135 BAPAs.
As the BJP heads for a likely third successive term in power, it's fascinating to debate how true it looks to the original proposition: a party with a difference.
Top leaders of parties, sitting in A/C rooms and adding up vote shares and seats on their calculators, begin to believe that 2+2 makes 22, and forthwith announce Gathbandhans,, Alliances , Fronts etc etc. They NEVER ask the party workers and cadre what the situation is on the ground. How can workers, the very backbone of any party, at once switch their loyalties on the whims ( and selfishness) of some leaders? There is usually a lot of animosity, grudges, history of violence and mutual distrust between workers of two/ three political parties, who cannot stand the sight of each other on the streets, which is where the battle of votes actually takes place. Even if they “OBEY” their masters, they will register their protest silently by ensuring that the votes that they control do NOT go to the alliance candidate thrust on them by their top brass. BEST EXAMPLE. Mandya, and Tumkur, Karnataka , where the son of the Chief Minster could not win in his own party stronghold, losing t o ‘Independent’ Sumalatha. And, the former PM H.D.Deve Gowda, who lost in Tumkur, a Congress held constituency, gifted away to the JD(S), without any regard for the staunch Congress member who held it. . The worst political calculations of this kind are made most often by Congress, which NEVER seems to have a clue about the ground situation, ANYWHERE in the country, but makes highly pretentious claims to being the “ONLY Pan Indian political party”. Lol.
Difficult to see what Ms Mayawati will gain by going alone. It would have been more productive for the two alliance partners – actually, three – to sit together, analyse the results threadbare, figure how the model which worked in Kairana, Phulpur, Gorakhpur came apart for the general election. Whether the concept itself is flawed or there were overwhelming forces at work. 2. Consider Rajasthan. Vaibhav Gehlot losing from Jodhpur by four lac votes, a constituency his father has represented five times. Trailing by 19,000 votes in the Assembly segment which CM Gehlot has adopted since 1998. 3. These are difficult times for the opposition. Not a time to lose one’s nerve, or one’s head.
