Canada faces serious foreign interference issues, but these challenges must not be weaponized to unfairly target friendly and important allies like India.
In Episode 1544 of CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta looks at some top economists pointing to the pitfalls of ‘currency nationalism’ with data from 1991 to 2004.
Among 19 Indian firms sanctioned by US Treasury Dept was Lokesh Machines Ltd accused of coordinating with 'Russian defence procurement agent to import Italy-origin CNC machines'.
While we talk much about our military, we don’t put our national wallet where our mouth is. Nobody is saying we should double our defence spending, but current declining trend must be reversed.
Things will change for sure.Definitely Tejaswi will be triumphant.He has got the calibre.As regards corruption these are concocted.Which politician is not corrupt. Most of them are of criminal background.
Tejasvi is a good leader, he has capability to keep his vote bank intact. Of course, he is no comparison with Lalu. Across the country, socialist political parties are struggling these days due to their ideology and their resource crunch in terms of power, technology, money, pan india presence. BJP, on other hand, is enjoying its best time. Lalu’s people also failed to make voters understand that if Lalu is culprit in fodder scam then Jagarnath Mishra is bigger culprit and bureaucrats concerns are also responsible. No body in media Or judiciary is picking up this point due to their own hidden agenda. And RJD is also not taking this issue forward. Tejasvi also needs consitency
Even Lalu ji has lost his relevance and credibility. Good that he is not around. At least, Lalu ji and authors like Mandal ji have the consolation that had Lalu ji been there there would have been landslide victory for RJD. Fact remains, RJD’s vote share has been reducing election after election, even when Lalu ji was around. Mulayam Singh ji has been very much around – what is happening to SP in UP?
In fact, RJD has lost its agenda and ideology. And there is nothing like Lalu ji in Tejashwi – who took birth in politics, became Dy CM and presumed that politics is all about mathematics and mathematics only. He did not show even the courage and humility to accept and respect the mandate and be around electorates.
I have observed Lalu ji’s political journey a bit closely from the days he was becoming a student leader ….. He definitely had a fire in him – a fire which is there in any poor man’s eye, fire to make the system work for the poor and down trodden. This fire made JP love him more than anyone else during Bihar agitation. And this fire remained with him till the first term as Chief Minister of Bihar. He really did an anti Brahmin social engineering quite successfully and made the govt machinery work for the last line of the people in Bihar. But he not only lost the track fully and completely but also became involved in lot of unworthy things. The support of people made him arrogant too and only the sycophants, corrupts and criminals surrounded him. Tejashwi must have seen his father’s later avatar only and must have come to join to enjoy the game.
In fact, there is no National relevance left of either Lalu ji or RJD, as they don’t have any agenda for the country except for the mathematical agenda to add up and to rule by any means. Those days have just gone for the country.
It is, however, possible to some extent to remain relevant in Bihar but with a rider – Tejashwi has to go back and ensure blessings of Nitish ji. Yes, only Nitish ji is in a position to rescue Tejashwi and RJD. If Nitish ji honestly approaches electorates with RJD behind him, the people may still think of forgetting and give them yet another chance, for Bihar would continue to love Nitish ji as Chief Minister …. And this may be suitable for Nitish ji too. The RJD and JD (U) with it’s expert Vice President may wish to ponder over further!
It is baffling to a man having experience of handling the income tax cases of this family of swindlers to see that a convicted criminal and his family, beneficiaries of unjust enrichment, should get so much publicity.
The question shouldn’t be will he succeed in the soap opera like plot, more about can he be a leader ? Does he understand what it takes to run government? Does he have the intellect needed of a 21sr century CM or even a minister? Even right wing crazies in sadhu garb has a degree. The reporter should be a soap opera critic.
