PM Modi is credited for taking BJP to unprecedented heights in UP. But CM Yogi Adityanath has become a mass leader in his own right, and is working to build his image as Modi No. 2.
If a person wants to undergo conversion, he or she would need to make a declaration before a district magistrate at least a month in advance under the proposed law.
Couple’s families say they consented to the marriage but had no idea about the provisions in the UP Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Ordinance passed recently.
In episode 626 of #CutTheClutter, Shekhar Gupta talks about the 'love jihad' law in UP and how it compares to other anti-conversion laws in other states.
Reports on Allahabad High Court’s judgment in Salamat Ansari-Priyanka Kharwar case wrongly suggests a constitutional death-knell against UP’s 'love jihad' ordinance.
Gurugram: In an action that will significantly impact the value of property transactions in Haryana, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has approved revised collector rates,...
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
The author mentions FACTS, is what drives journalists. Sorry to say this bro but facts too can be cooked or twisted out of perspective. Agreed you might be thoroughly investigative, but that too can be used to create a narrative which suits one side or another. (Disclaimer: my thoughts are purely based on hollywood movies.)
Click bait provocation in headlines is one thing, but do understand that poking a bear just to count its teeth is not a good idea. (risk being labeled). if Journalists help turn the wheels of everything that happens in the country (or the world). If a man talks divisive, journalists help his voice reach every corner of the country, aiding in reaction to it. (you can picture other scenarios like that im sure). Imagine publishing AIMIM leaders’ speeches, i bet that’s not a wheel anyone wants to help turn. Similarly, one must know when to support the system and when to question it. JUST SAYING.
Even the author is at wits end, to actually provide a real achievement of his favorite Yogi. At the end of the day, this man is all perception and nothing more.
Unfortunately for India, we care only about vishwas, not vikas. So his bold faced, fake image is all Yogi needs to be considered a viable PM candidate.
Well, hopefully the same Indians who vote for him dont cry when he himself destroys their dreams and aspirations for the sake of pride.
Yuval Noah Harari, the bestselling author, historian, philosopher and professor, say the only truth is suffering; meaning that everything else is a perception. Stands to reason everybody does not “see” the same thing in everything. The truth is revealed only when you are pinched. Until then everything is perception. Perception is in you and not in which you behold.
If perception management is what goes for governance then Yogi has a good future, ahead of him,but perceptions cannot mask a state that turns on its own citizens to prop up such images, it cannot mask a state where dissent is treated as a threat and routinely clamped down on and it cannot mask a society that is giving into hatred of its own citizens.
Growth and communalism are mutuallty exclusive, you cannot be a trillion dollar economy, when any incident can lead to communal violence, where the government itself attacks its citizens if it shows them the mirror and where anti-people laws ( like when he suspended even the requirement of companies to have proper safety standards and propesed to set up a bureau to decide if migrant labour can be hired) are passed without any challenge
Yogis path will only lead to fake pride without growth, where steadily that is the only thing remaining. Choose wisely or be ready to regret your decision.
A democracy is not born overnight. It has to develop experiencing a mix of authorities ranging from authoritative, benevolent, chaotic et al, before it really becomes a Government of the people. The process is more difficult, with a Nation as diverse and as large, where size matters, as India. As yet, India is an infant democracy – just 70 odd years old – and evolving.
In my life time, I have realized that in our discussions we always talk about the rights afforded to the people by our constitution. We never discuss the responsibilities that go with these rights. That is the reason that few irresponsible persons feel they are right. But thankfully, majority (do not read it as opposite of “minority”, please) of the people know their responsibilities and limitations. Else the country would have disintegrated decades ago.
In the context we must realize that this minority (do not read it as the opposite of “majority”), which includes a large part of the media, tend to prop up heroes and anti-heroes in the political firmament. The majority, SG should know with all his travels as part of the political journalist’s bandwagon, are not swayed by the media. They react to what they feel and see.
Points to ponder: Who become legends? What is the role of the media in creating legends?
Won’t be long before the Hon’ble Prime Minister Modi will attain the age of Margdarshak. It’s good that at least one political party in this country takes political succession seriously and does not depend on ties of blood and marriage to determine whose next. Ideologically speaking there is much to lament that it is CM Adityanath and not someone like Nitin Gadkari who is likely to succeed PM Modi.
Yogi ji is a very capable administrator, honest, educated (has a Bsc in Mathematics), hard working and is dedicated to the nation. He has all the good qualities of a leader. India needs visionary leaders like Yogi and PM Modi if we are ever to leave behind the damage and destruction of Mughal, British and Congress mis rule.
I thought good journalism meant not being swayed by perception management and holing up the mirror to governments. Can you talk about facts and figures along with the above please. I don’t think the need of the hour in UP is better campaigners for the BJP or any party for that matter. Nor is it the time for more lives to be at the mercy of the state whether through food/livelihood restrictions or for the personal space of a citizen to be encroached. If this is the kind of politics that DK Singh finds fascinating, i’d rather not read his analysis.
I am sorry, but I don’t get the point of this article. It looks like an answer to a 5 mark question students write but they only know obvious things.
Yogi is being propped up as “the next PM” (gods help this country after that), it’s not exactly subtle. There is a lot of work being done so there’s no challenger from inside BJP. BJP inner workings aren’t exactly democratic.
it is because he is (CM) effective that haters provoke the state by abetting rape, like a challenge if you may. Poor little girls suffer in this resistance to change. Nothing the CM can do about it except help pass a law that increases severity of rape accused. (this is turn will allow women to falsely accuse if not drafted properly, which is why the delay i suppose)
yogi adithayanath wants to become no 2 man in b j p to succced mr mody. b j p is not building proper team so it will be easy for him to succeed, but it will be disaster for country. he may develop u p but when it comes to whole of india how far he will be able to sdjust to his totaliratian views and action. but other politicians has to be careful nor they will left on side ways , this is politics no body cares for anybody.
Perceptions and opinions can different. But it would be improper not giving Yogi his due in improving a large state such as UP.

Certain jihadist posing as journalists need to read analysis of DK SINGH before spitting venom .
Certain BJP IT CELL scoundrels need to move out of their parents’ houses before spewing verbal diarrhea.
Some one like Yogi Aditya Nath growing up big is not good for India, as Trump becoming the president was not good for America and the world.
This is seriously hilarious!!

May one respectfully urge CM of UP to make the state more safe for girls and women.
it is because he is (CM) effective that haters provoke the state by abetting rape, like a challenge if you may. Poor little girls suffer in this resistance to change. Nothing the CM can do about it except help pass a law that increases severity of rape accused. (this is turn will allow women to falsely accuse if not drafted properly, which is why the delay i suppose)
