Even today, Lalu Prasad Yadav is the only politician with the ability to bring all secular forces together. Without him, BJP has a clear path in Bihar election.
After insisting that Bihar elections will be held as scheduled, even as oppn has been calling for a delay, Deputy CM Sushil Modi now says NDA will abide by what EC decides.
The panel was formed in October 2017 to examine the sub-categorisation of OBCs, a demand that seeks to bridge the gap in the distribution of quota benefits.
Any bid to tamper with the quota system, even perceived, is likely to cost the BJP heavily in the Bihar elections, as it did in 2015, when RSS called for a ‘review of reservation’.
After a furore, Patna Medical College & Hospital superintendent withdraws order to post 6 doctors & 3 paramedics at CM's residence to treat his Covid-positive niece.
The CPI(M) said EC’s new postal ballot move is ‘disturbing’, while the Congress said it ‘violates secrecy in voting’ and the Trinamool wrote to EC, saying it’s ‘ridiculous’.
In a 3-hour meeting with the Bihar Congress, Rahul Gandhi said no need to compromise or feel inferior while forming any alliance for the assembly elections.
IT cell heads in Bihar will be the 'real warriors' of the poll campaign, and the WhatsApp groups will inform voters of the party’s messages and initiatives.
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.
The decorated Naga officer from Manipur also served as envoy to Myanmar & Nagaland chief secy. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated a museum dedicated to the Tawang hero Thursday.
Congress is silently acknowledging it over-read verdict of last general election. You can see it in easy concession to SP. It will likely be more reasonable in Maharashtra & Jharkhand.
Appears as if Dilip Mandal is out of sync by just about two and a half decades.. What he has written is just for money it earns him. it may be his opinion but such out of date opinions do not matter today. If there is any sincerity in it let him try putting Lalu in action to prove his point. After all Lalu is still alive and giving out sound bytes from time to time ( like a toad on heat ) to prove it..
One can only wonder which fantasy world this author inhabits…..Lalu Yadav, as our savior indeed ! What next, Shashi Tharoor for PM, with Imran Khan from next door as our President perhaps? Stop trying to resuscitate that still born child called Secularism please……it was bad enough that we had to carry its stinking carcass draped about our psyche for the past 5 decades…..That masjid (and the ones at Kashi and Mathura) should’ve been knocked down back in 1947 , the Congress was just not up to the task because they constantly wanted to pitch us as some bleeding heart liberal culture that would constantly keep offering our other cheek…Gandhi might have understood the British, but he was way out of his depth with the Muslim League…the congress, with the Nehru-Gandhis at its helm, has only tried to perpetuate that fantasy way beyond its expiry date……India has always been a Hindu country, which has been very accommodating of diverse, and divergent , belief systems ; and it will remain so……but certain wrongs of history, need to be set right. Much like how the caste system needed to be put in its place, and avenues of social mobility made possible, the psychological servitude that Islam has held Hindu culture in around the subcontinent, needs to be gotten rid of.
If you truly believe that edifices built by Turkic invaders like Babur (who never considered himself Indian, mind you…this was only a place of loot and self validation for him) and Aurangzeb (the less said about that tyrant, the better) deserve social protection, but not the ideas that Ram and Krishna stood for, then that’s ok —the magnanimity of our culture equips us to tolerate dissent, and even that of somebody like you. So, its ok for you not to want a ram mandir, your disapproval is duly noted.. But the larger part of the population of this nation does, so stop whining about it.
Another convicted felon admired by a lot of sycophant journalists is Amit Shah.
Modi and Shah must feel amazed and unreal, surely this must be some ploy by the opposition. They cannot be this nonsensical, this illogical, this fantastically clueless.
Alas they are. People please put in some effort atleast,
In their extreme hatred against Modi and against Hindus, these crooks forget the basic respect to a democratic set up.
We, the people, want Ram Mandir. And the BJP is helping us realize that dream. Hence, it keeps winning.
It’s that simple!
Could have….Would have….Should have….What’s the point? Like Navjyot Sidhu says on commentary – if my aunty were a man, she would be my uncle. Lalu Prasad’s time is over. Better search for someone else to be your messiah.
Ek dum sahi kaha. Kadei choo journalist hai. Iss sale ko MNREGA main Gadhe khudao.
Seems like anti-Hindu and minority appeasement (read: Muslim appeasement) is secularism from this article. Tazia is secular but a Rath Yatra is damaging to India’s constitution. How much longer are you pseudo-liberals gonna keep up this fascism in the garb of secularism?
Answer: As long you give them your other cheek to get another slapping.
This author has written such nonsense that he didn’t mention about the Loksabha election results in Bihar both 2014 and 2019? What this joker Lalu could do in these elections. A rogue politician Lalu is paying his karmic debt by rotting in the jail.
In a time when every India has Mobile phone and internet full of all counter views, time of Lalu type netas is gone forever. The author seems to live in Lalu’s time which will never return. All librandus would die hoping Lalu’s time will return when they can do corruption without the fear of being caught and punished.
Really? This is the kind of opinion that we like to publish? Lalu Prasad Yadav is a criminal. He should not be allowed to participate in the electoral system. Is this article indirectly asking for it?
Lalu Prasad Yadav and secularism? One of India’s first caste leaders practicing Casteist politics is a light of secular politics? India’s secularism will be killed by journalists and opinion writers such as Dilip Mandal.
The BJP is in power because of a largescale sentiment among the majority of neglect and appeasement of Muslims. I am not sure why a community that had been the ruling class for most part of the past 1000 years be considered a minority and be subject of privileges. Why a community whose leadership asked for partition be given special privileges which is not granted to the Majority. I do not understand this notion of minority to begin with. That unto itself is not secular. A Constitution is secular to the extent that it does not recognize citizens as religious groups. Our Intelligentsia do not quite know the idea of secularism and how it came about.
Secularism was a means to rid the interference of the Church. I say it again the Church. The nations that established secular governance were Christian. The ones that went on crusades in the name of the Church. It was this kind of diktat that the establishment of secular rule tried to rid.
We are neither Christian, nor do our religious heads interfere in matters of Governance. However, in our secular republic and our brand of secularism, religious heads of minorities have a say. Votebanks anyone? Congress party meeting Mullahs and Imams for votes is ok? The same holds for Lallu, Yadav and rest of the so called secular leadership…
Well put. In reality those who like to call themselves liberal intellectuals are neither. Nor can they be called the intelligentsia. Most of them are brainwashed, strongly biased literati. Although they love to quote the Constitution and it’s preamble most of them are not even prepared to treat all as Indians. That’s why the constant partitioning into majority, minority, upper caste, lower caste etc.
Lol ….most of the Muslim community are in dire straits and economically very weak …commission report after another state this but you choose to ignore it cause it does not suite your narrative..love your argument t that because a few Muslim’s ruled parts of the country centuries back all muslims should be doing good at present .did you come up with this brilliant logic yourself ? And by your own statement if criminals should not be allowed to participate in elections, modi and Amit shah should be shown the door first as they are not just mass murderers but also highly corrupt ( read Sahara birla files) . In this beautiful country of ours, we seem to reward criminality with the bigger criminals imprisoning the smaller criminals who might turn out to be a threat to them.
A casteist bigot glorifying his caste leader in spite of all his faults, crimes and running a criminal and corrupt government for large part of last two decades and destroying a key state. Its a shame such articles get a forum.
Everybody will get the result of his done work.Similarly Lalujee is enjoying his days at RIMS in this stage of his life.Bhagwan Krishna spent his childhood with yadavs.But being a yadav Lalujee is proud of creating obstacle in Ramjanmabhoomi movement.Have you seen any other community members creating obstacle for their own community in name of fake secularism?But you can find many like Lalujee in our holy Hindu community to oppose Hindu ideologies to garner minority votes only.Other community members become happy to see this.Now Ram Temple will be definitely built ,Advanejee and other temple movement leaders will also attend the event ? Lalujee will know only about the event being at RIMS but can not create any type of obstacle.Building Ram temple is bad in his view but looting a state using hooligans for decades in the pretext of secularism is good for him.Ram is eternal ,whoever will oppose him will definitely get the appropriate result like our Lalujee.
Seeing him win the elections only proves that “Biharis are Bikaaris”, who lack self-respect and right to be treated as beggers, rowdies everywhere they go in India.
When milk is offered to GOD some journalist go ballistic. And when blood of innocent animals is spilled same hate journalist celebrate. We have to understand where this journalist and their political masters come from.
I think the Author has gone nuts! Even a novice journalist knows that 2015 elections won not because of Lalu but the larger coalition that was stitched.. It is a simple Political Arithmetic that stumped BJP and not the so called social justice he is talking about.. Secondly, 1990 was different from 2014, because now (Atlease from North India), Hindus feel the appeasement politics of Congress which made them to unite. Besides, Advani is not effective in stitching up the case arithmetic like Amit shah does.. This author convneiently forget that BJP and Nithish kumar together defeated Lalu when he was very much outside the jail.. Come to sense Author sir.. You have a better platform to show your loyalty to Lalu.. please
Make a reality check and bring some intigrity, otherwise go on draeating with your agendas and narratives.
Appears as if Dilip Mandal is out of sync by just about two and a half decades.. What he has written is just for money it earns him. it may be his opinion but such out of date opinions do not matter today.

Too much optimism on a corrupt convict

India is only country where a convicted felon is admired by managing editor of large circulation magazine.
Another convicted felon admired by a lot of sycophant journalists is Amit Shah.
Modi and Shah must feel amazed and unreal, surely this must be some ploy by the opposition. They cannot be this nonsensical, this illogical, this fantastically clueless.
Alas they are. People please put in some effort atleast,

We, the people, want Ram Mandir. And the BJP is helping us realize that dream. Hence, it keeps winning.
It’s that simple!
Nope, I don’t want Ram Mandir. Stop speaking for me, whoever the hell you are.
Sure you do. You just dont know it
laloo is a joke, like our Pappu. Laloo should be in the zoo, next to the tigers as an exhibit.
Mandal is so sad that gigantic corruption has stopped and gundaraj of Bihar, in which Lalu had his own cut, has stopped.
Could have….Would have….Should have….What’s the point? Like Navjyot Sidhu says on commentary – if my aunty were a man, she would be my uncle. Lalu Prasad’s time is over. Better search for someone else to be your messiah.
Legitimate leader of Bihar ..our lalu prasad.
I have cattle. Come rear them.
I have 7 buffaloes. Aao thoda chara do unhe Yadav.
Dilip Mandal Yadav hone ka farj nibha diya tune lalu ki tareef krke ab jaake chain ki nenne soja
Ek dum sahi kaha. Kadei choo journalist hai. Iss sale ko MNREGA main Gadhe khudao.

The Congress filed an affidavit stating that there is no proof of existence of Lord Ram.
Sonia is a practicing Christian who brought anti Hindu Communal Violence Bill.
In a time when every India has Mobile phone and internet full of all counter views, time of Lalu type netas is gone forever. The author seems to live in Lalu’s time which will never return. All librandus would die hoping Lalu’s time will return when they can do corruption without the fear of being caught and punished.
Itni chatai Lalu Yadav ki? Rajya Sabha nomination chahiye kya?

Your unease is palpable and should be celebrated.
Yes, only criminals and crooked people will oppose Ram Mandir.
A casteist bigot glorifying his caste leader in spite of all his faults, crimes and running a criminal and corrupt government for large part of last two decades and destroying a key state. Its a shame such articles get a forum.

What Lalu is has been decided by the judiciary even it was too much delayed . No amount of white washing will brighten his blac… face.
When milk is offered to GOD some journalist go ballistic. And when blood of innocent animals is spilled same hate journalist celebrate. We have to understand where this journalist and their political masters come from.
Laloo Yadav is a ‘chor’ , in jail for that fact , we deserve better .
I think the Author has gone nuts! Even a novice journalist knows that 2015 elections won not because of Lalu but the larger coalition that was stitched..

If a crook is the messiah, the opposition is more doomed than we think
