A leader's charisma is a big plus. But don't underestimate the craft of mounting an election campaign. Haryana is BJP's reward for mastering it. All-round participation and peaceful polling in J&K too is a win.
28 former militants and separatists, including 10 candidates backed by Jamaat-e-Islami and others by Awami Ittehad Party (AIP), bit the dust as J&K chose to vote for mainstream parties.
National Conference poised to come to power in Union territory with ally Congress. Former Union minister said elected govt would have do lot of work to end 'sufferings' of the people.
Aijaz Ahmad Guroo had campaigned on Kashmiris languishing in jails & unemployment. His brother, Afzal Guru, was hanged for plotting the December 2001 Parliament attack.
BJP is leading in Haryana, where most exit polls had projected a comfortable victory for Congress. In Jammu & Kashmir, pollsters have given the NC-Congress alliance a clear edge.
In Budgam, Abdullah's leading by 1,400 votes & in Ganderbal, 622 votes. Iltija Mufti, daughter of PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, is trailing by over 1,842 votes against NC’s Bashir Veeri.
In Haryana, BJP has left Congress in the dust. In J&K, priority for the NC-Congress coalition govt will be restoration of full statehood, says Congress.
An average Lajpat Nagar playboy knows that women will reply to his Instagram story of the chicken curry he cooked for lunch. And he is proven right, every single time.
The concern is not that 2025’s rally was irrational, but that it may be difficult to repeat. Outlooks remain anchored to AI investment and growth without reigniting inflation.
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.
Comrade Yogender Yadav is chief minister. Comrade Kejriwala is the chief minister’s driver. Comrade Rahulla is office assistant. Comrade Pissodia is toilet cleaner.
Mr Gupta, Haryana win is CHEATING and a slap on the face of ndian Democracy..Atleast have the “Spine” to say that.Please ask your mentor Mr Shourie this question.Would love to read HIS take on the Haryana “WIN”by the bjp
A Hindu chief minister for J & K. The last thing the state needs. In fact, this is a fantastic electoral outcome, for India as much as for the state. Build on it. Restore statehood. Limit the Governor’s role to security.
Couptaji is in seroius pain..hope you dont get a heart attack due to severe grief,, as BJP won/ lol . Your fake gyan last week on bjp losing was so puke worthy. Now you and your equally demented side kick d k singh can eat crow for breakfast together/. The pain in your words..priceless
Will the left liberal journalists and intellectuals such as Sagarika Ghose, Rajdeep Sardesai, Yogendra Yadav, Arfa Khanum Sherwani, Sanjay Jha, Ashutosh, the Wire, and the ilk finally admit these facts.
India is casteist, however the promotion of caste based division and promotion of certain castes is actually done by the so called secular, liberal and social justice parties such as DMK and Congress but blamed falsely on the BJP. Congress spoke about caste census and bringing the weak forward but primarily focussed on empowering the already powerful Jats. Rahul Gandhi was being hypocritical and power hungry in his focus on Caste.
India has majoritarianism, but while BJP will still field muslim candidates and is always questioned if muslims get minsterial posts, in Kashmir all muslims will vote out any Hindu candidate. Muslim identity based politics, parochialism and other narcisstic venalities are condoned but Hindus are not allowed any expression of emotion on any insults.
