Maulana Rashidi is at the centre of a political storm over his comments on Dimple Yadav’. The remarks have led to political outrage, FIRs and an assault by Samajwadi Party workers.
Dimple secured nearly 6 lakh votes in Mainpuri, a seat she first won in a 2022 bypoll after Mulayam Singh Yadav's demise. Starting 1996, the SP founder won the seat five times.
Dimple Yadav to contest from Mainpuri again, while Dharmendra & Akshay fielded from Badaun & Firozabad. 11 OBC candidates — including three Yadavs — also feature in list.
The BCCI decision has given new life to the lunatic fringe of the Hindu Right. It now has the confidence to force policy changes in accordance with its communal campaigns.
The latest comment comes as New Delhi and Washington have yet to sign a trade agreement. India’s purchase of Russian oil has reduced, but Moscow remains top source for crude.
If deal goes through, Greece will be 2nd foreign country to procure vehicle. Morocco was first; TATA Group has set up manufacturing unit there with minimum 30 percent indigenous content.
Many of you might think I got something so wrong in National Interest pieces written this year. I might disagree! But some deserve a Mea Culpa. I’d deal with the most recent this week.
