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.
Socialist Modi hasn’t missed but overlooked danger signals in economy. I feel he is helpless as his hands are tied by swadeshi jagran manch and RSS which have an affinity for economics quackery. He wants RBI and SBI to fund the government’s socialist bribes namely freebies subsidies reservation loan waiver housing for all healthcare for all and innumerable bunkum schemes.
The troubles in the economy are above the FS’s pay grade. To be perfectly candid, also the FM’s. The beating heart of this government must take a complete review, act with urgency and a great deal of far sightedness to restore it to health. Just two statistics underline the extent of the challenge. Is growth 7% or just 4.5% ? Was the fiscal deficit for a recent year 3.4% or 5.8% ? After the sugar high of sharply lower prices, the economy has been adrift, bereft of any reformist impulses. Demonetisation was like someone taking an axe to a cherry tree. Pretty much downhill since then. Each Indian housewife gets an MRI scan of the economy when she looks at her larder. One exit may not suffice.
