If there is bad blood between the CEC and the Opposition leaders, it will shake the people’s faith in election results. It’s the worst thing that could happen to Indian democracy.
Indian toymakers are now exploring new markets, but they want govt to negotiate a trade deal with US soon, introduce incentives and subsidies to make the industry more competitive.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
All four comments are enough to conclude that Kumar Ketkar is a vassal of Gandhi family, a la Mani Shankar Aiyar. The latter was cultivated by NDTV for writing trash, and Ketkar is The Print’s discovery. Well, a bit of trashy writing in an otherwise reasonably decent journalism is tolerable. Or is it?
Socialists always tend to forget the economic reason as one among many for those who support bjp. For free market capitalists, bjp is less socialist than others, hence they support bjp.
I was contemplating NOTA. Kumar ketkar & his ilk are forcing BJP-turned-NOTA supporters vote BJP. Watching the anti-hindu vitriol peddled, I will now vote BJP
” Congress member of Rajya Sabha” – that says it all! What was the point of this characterisation of the traditional voter of BJP? If these were the only voters for BJP, it would have disappeared from the scene long ago. Is mindlessness one of the important qualities to be bought off by the Congress party?
Very poor analysis by the author. BJP polled 17.16 crore votes in 2014. The categories as described by the author is way lower (44 lakh people of Indian descent in USA and they don’t vote in Indian elections). The most representative group as described by author is the Indian IT worker which only numbers 30 lakh. These numbers are minuscule compared to BJP’s votes.
