BJP MLA Akash Vijayvargiya and his supporters attacked the official as he and his team arrived in an Indore locality to demolish a house at the risk of collapsing during monsoon rains.
Going through their Instagrams and dissecting their ‘statements’ is not the astute political commentary you think it is—it is time for us to back off from targeting 20-year-olds.
Companies are borrowing more from banks and public. Economists say high capacity utilisation & growing new orders could set stage for renewed investment push by India Inc.
New Delhi has, in past, too, objected to Chinese construction activities in Shaksgam Valley. Work in this strategic region gathered pace after the 2017 Doklam stand-off.
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.
How come this BJP leader’s son is an MLA? The BJP prides itself as a party opposed to ‘dynasties’ in politics, and certainly some senior leaders such as PM Modi live by that principle. But this is a clear case of double standards. The episode does not show Vijayvargiya’s family culture in a good light at all – beating people up and so – so clearly it cannot be argued that this fellow deserves a place in politics. PM Modi must remove people like Vijayvargiya and allow the police to take action against his son. There are also other BJP leaders who have tried to promote their offspring either directly in politics (E.g. daughter of Gopinath Munde) or via advantages in business. That is a rotten culture which we hope will be actively exposed and rooted out for good by the BJP.
