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.
I have been reading Mekhala Krishnamurthy past articles on angriculture using Muckrack. She has been so inconsistent all these time. these people don’t deserve to be heard by GoI. These people have only one agenda, that is, to criticise Modi govt.
This is amazing to witness that those who dont know how to handle a spade,sickle even the hammer have been jolting with a mob prominently marked as the agitation of farmers in and around Delhi. The intention and nature of movement found aseptically when outsiders are allowed to dance to the tunes of their own agenda.i do believe withdrawing of all the passed law would provide them more opportunities in withdrawing the reformative laws like triple talaq or 370 . This is the first time in the post independent India that any Government is trying to introduce long pending reformation in the system gifted by colonial rulers. We do support one nation one election,one nae nation single taxation one nation one civil code and immediate counting of infiltrators not for individual or party interests but for the security,sovereignty and safety to this ill fated nation. how long India would remain play the role of feeder to neighboring liabilities and province like west Bengal has to allocate especial provisions in each annual budgets .? The agitation with comforts and four square of meals seems picnic more than the put forwarding of grievances without further delays. my request is to our feeder go through with the proposed bill carefully,there is ample opportunity and option for both the private and public counters to exchange their yields in a competitive price. secondly should we allow the presence of touts without any participation and permit them to grab the actual profit even in the 21st centurian India?
I really do not understand the concept of price discovery (i) in a period of surpluses, and (ii) in perishables. This amazing story of items moving across states (with an attached MSP) on the foregoing conditions (i) and (ii) is meaningless. Non perishables such as cereals and lentils can move. It would appear fruits ripened artificially can too. I am not sure about much else. Therefore the cold chain story appears equally meaningless. A cold chain for use for a few days makes little sense and ridiculous costs.
As it is it would appear 6 % of farm produce in cereals attracts the MSP. If so why all these fancy laws. Elsewhere cereals are procured by so called traders / middleman at 2/3 of MSP and less. there is absolutely no regulation. The government story on middleman is patently untrue. Its objective is to ensure middleman (such as industrialists ) can continue their merry making.
Trust. What an amazing work. The GST example – an existing law???? – is a great example.
Finally this free market story has the same infirmities as the “price discovery” story.
The US is expected to subsidize agriculture by USD 45 billion this year. maybe less in non pandemic years. But can we match that subsidy. That is why our export of wheat is unprofitable. Paddy we scrape thru. Every country supports agrculture.
India has about anywhere from 50 – 60 percentof its population engaged in this trade. It is considerably less in advanced countries. That di not happen by chance or by 3 laws. The government needs to work on its population – its education – its work ethic to do so.
