Modi govt is perceived as ‘strong’ because of its centralised functioning, but its slow response on Covid-19 exposes the risks that come with such style of governance.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also decided to waive late fees for delayed filing of returns for those with a turnover of less than Rs 2 crore for 2018 and 2019.
Sealing of shops in Delhi in 2017 to crack the whip on ‘unauthorised constructions’ is one of biggest issues weighing on the minds of the traders this election.
India is paying the price for trying to do too much in past Budgets, and sectors that have been bled white, such as telecom and govt companies, are worst hit.
GST authorities are registering evermore tax evasion cases as tech failure, lack of oversight and a lax approach have left India’s indirect tax regime vulnerable.
The dynamics between Europe and Russia have gone so south that mending fences looks like an uphill task—even as the US swings between sanctions and olive branches.
Centre for Science and Environment in new report makes case for rationalising GST on waste material, saying most informal operators can’t afford high tax & it also hinders recycling.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
Fews things can be justified not everyone, also this article feels lopsided, where globally countries are not shutting down themselves bcoz of global economic situation, however Modi did so, instead of country’ not so good economic situation, talking about labour migration, it’s not only center’s responsibility, states are equally responsible for the same. U can’t blame centre for everything.
These media house specializes in spewing venom on modi government on all issues ranging from gst to demonetization to uri and pathankot strikes to counter surgical/balakot strikes to triple talaq or article 370 or caa protests.. and NDTV is their closest competitor. They act more like Pakistani spokesperson spewing venom and spreading disinformation campaigns
The author has described a factual position in an objective manner but it is worrisome to note that 99% remarks are attacking the article,the author and her religion.Seems we are getting closer and closer to Germany of 1933.
The writer is a paid …shameless agent…everywhere in the world’s corona started at same time and today we are one of the least affected nation..the numbers could have been lesser had the Nizamuddin gang was booked and thrown out in time..all the opposition wants the virus to spread and kill millons ..so that they can have this as an agenda for coming to power and Gandhi parivar can loot what is left..had any opposition condemned the Nizamuddin fiasco?
Really?!! Zainaab? You must believe in the multiverse theory – your thinking is otherworldly, from a parallel universe. It is time to stop being a typist and become a writer, who researches her articles, thinks carefully, analyses critically and only then decides to write a piece.
For people at print: do you really pay people by the words? I am happy to spend 30 mins of my day typing nonsense – can you please share where do I send my daily typing?
It is very easy to sit back and write and criticise. The population of our country is vast. Added is the rate of illiteracy is high. For any government to implement something is a big task
I suggest take a break and come out wid a positive mind to write something good
At the time of global crisis, writing such negative article manifests the meanness of the writer who unfortunately got a platform to bark. He should know that when elephant walks in the street dogs bark at it but elephant ignores the dogs and moves on.
ZIANAB….You are a thankless citizen of India. You totally failed to see what efforts Railway Minister / Finance Minister / Transport Minister/ Home Minister is doing in this crisis.
The Print has no credibility amongst the young and educated people. Everyone knows about your hidden fundings and agenda. So, do something meaningful and positive for the society and stop living in fools paradise.
Spiritual awareness is the key…if the ruling class is spiritually God conscious thats sufficient …if not the stress itself will break the nation…Time for India to get back the Lost Midas touch …the true power of healing rests within…and Almighty God bless those who know the right path…8 doors of heaven…8 paths…Underlying basic minimum truth.no need to fight for land this land belongs to every living being….love your neighbour …live your neighbour ..love your neighbour..
And yet the Pharaohs managed to create what is arguably the greatest ancient human civilization. The Hellenic civilization of Greece borrowed much of its philosophy, arts, mathematics and politics from ancient Egypt.
Ms. Sikander’s study and understanding of history is flimsy and superficial to say the least.
As far as the Indian govt and its actions regarding Covid-19 are concerned, it is too early to pass judgements. Lacunaes are visible and the impact of the lockdown on daily wage labourers and migrants was clearly not thought through. However, to say that the govt has messed up completely and is clueless is totally absurd. Rather, the govt has been proactive in dealing with the crisis.
However, its too much to expect Ms. Sikander to have a balanced and nuanced view of events. Her hatred for the current dispensation colours her judgement absolutely and renders it useless.
Dull witted trolling by an intellectual challenged Islamist. Article 370 was not revoked, it was amended and done so by Parliament, not the Modi Govt. And So far the Modi Govts reaction to Covid 19 has been far superior and bold than even thenUKor US where they are still struggling with 1000s of deaths and billions in medical costs. As to our MPs – only the demented think MPs execute policy – it is the civil services that execute policy, not MPs. MPs craft policy .
PS – Pharos were born into power by birthright, your prophet usurped power through “divine-right” – Modi however has come to power by LEGAL right through people-power
You sure don’t know what was article 370 was all about! It is as good as revoked. What remains of it is its most hollowed out firm. It was amended by Modi government, AND NOT BY PARLIAMENT! THE GOVERNMENT CAME UP WITH THE AMENDMENT, AND GOT THE PARLIAMENT TO PASS IT. IN ANY CASE IT IS A RUBBER STAMP PARLIAMENT, WITH ALMOST HALF MPs WITH CRIMINAL CHARGES FILED AGAINST THEM! THESE RUBBER STAMP MPs WOULD PASS ANYTHING MODI ASKS THEM TO! IT IS JUST NOT TRUE THAT “Modi Govts reaction to Covid 19 has been far superior and bold than even thenUKor US where they are still struggling with 1000s of deaths and billions in medical costs.”. Testing is very scarce, and so, Modi govt doesn’t even know how many are infected by the virus. Without much testing, it is like groping in the darkness. Whereas in the US and UK they have pretty good idea as to how manty are infected. MPs dont craft any policy. They are rubber stamps, they sign on the dotted lines, when asked to!
A very poorly mashed up article. This writer zainab is liability on the print. They have kept her only because she is jihadi supporter.
The author is a Clickbait Queen, funded by those who stand to gain when “The Family” returns to the throne they view as “their’s by birthright”.
An ankle biting gadfly. Best ignored, as most of the garbage published on ThePrint.
Dear Editor,
Your job just seems to be to pulling down the govt all the time. You are basically thankless citizens. Everyone has answers in hind sight. Put your self on the line and think ahead. You undermine all that we citizens want to work towards. Totally demoralising is your theme. Fortunately I am hardwired.
Disclaimer: not a BJP or Modi BHAKT
The stupidity manifests in the fact that states in INDIA are free to initiate measures as was demonstrated in case of NRC which is not in existence was fought tooth and nail but no preparations against Covid 19 which was a reality
Consider the vast investment of time in global diplomacy. Difficult to think of a single bilateral relationship that is more durable today than it was in 2014.
Pulwama attach in Kashmir was the first attack that happened in last 20 years, isn’t it? That’s why the intelligence failure should be probed. Some people will not leave any opportunity to do their petty politics even in the time of a crisis.
This columnists like every Muslim writer will never find anything good to say about the Modi government. The agenda is clear- only a government that molly coddles Muslims is good. Minority appeasement that too only of Muslims is the only ctiteria to judge any government for this columnist.
Indian government response Is the fastest see the number of cases in other countries.i believe my government is doing whatever it can and we have to be thoughtful before finding faults in each and every move taken by government.

This is not the time to ecalyate
These days media personnel and editors are the only things that is easily available for sale for some few bucks.

Have noticed for a while that your publication is always anti govt.
You think about all negatives
Next time atleast give solution from your perspective and than challenge
I challange you will never dare this
Poor article. Waste of time.
Here we go again, I was waiting for such articles but did not expect such articles to be printed so early!
Whatte insights lacking, demoralizing article. Do the members of this media group have no access to positive information.

This is the most left Wing and India critic media house .
