Singur, which votes on 10 April, is one of the keenly watched contests in West Bengal, with two important faces of the 2006 land movement fighting it out as BJP and TMC candidates.
BJP’s ‘love jihad’ bogey has found resonance with a few Christians while its Sabarimala stand forced a CPI(M) minister to admit that allowing women into the hill shrine was a mistake.
Flurry of economic reform suggests Modi realises his muscular nationalism script is getting jaded. Chances are he'll try for economic recovery but stick to what's worked.
While pre-poll surveys have given LDF an edge, it is facing two storms apart from the gold smuggling case — deep sea trawling pact & 'love jihad' allegations by Syro-Malabar church.
Adding up to 17% of Assam’s population and 35% of its electorate, the tea tribes will be critical to the outcomes in about 40 out of 47 constituencies that go to vote Saturday.
BJP leaders feel Nandigram could become focus of the Bengal campaign if the issue was raised too much publicly, and help Mamata 'in gaining public sympathy'.
Preliminary police findings submitted to EC last week also said the Nandigram incident that left CM Mamata Banerjee injured was an accident, and not an attack. EC to decide today.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
Reminds me of my city Kanpur – Leftists and Communists destroyed industry by egging on workers to strike and when the factories closed same workers who voted for CPI(M) were left to fend for themselves to sell trinkets in carts at roadside. An entire generation lost, an entire city which showed so much of promise laid waste to Leftists’ evil design.
